I made a vow to myself in art school to stop listening to artists and start listening to writers because they are WAY better at telling stories/public speaking/giving interviews/talking in general. Rn I'm listening to In Writing with Hattie Crisell and the New Yorker ones like The Writer's Voice. I like In Writing because it's about how they write like literally what their desks look like, what time of day, etc. Demystifies it all a bit

📻Nothing gets me more motivated than listening to girls slightly older than me talk about things I care about and with intellect and interest.
When I started writing somewhat seriously, the first “article” I ever wrote was because of this one podcast. it was called “God’s Forgotten Glut Girls” and it was fabulous and so very much the thoughts of my 18 year old self.

🎙I basically only listen to these sorts of podcasts so hopefully these recs will be of use to you
If books could kill - very funny but also informed and thorough discussions of non fiction books - has helped be more critical about what I read and be aware of how authors distort facts and create narratives
Radiolab - investigative deep dives into a range of topics - I would really recommend the ep playing god
Us and them - deep dives into systemic issues in the us like gun violence
Through line - goes back into the history of various topics like the history of smell
Ologies - lighthearted but very informative episodes about various niche fields - I love the episodes on thanatology
Nice try! - focuses on the history of design and architecture that usually isn’t covered - really rec the ep about germania (Germany during and after hitler)
Conflicted: a history podcast - really rec the series in the partition of India
Natalie Haynes stands up for the classics - very entertaining recaps of Greek myths
Book club bbc - interviews with authors Others: - the experiment (the Atlantic) - search engine - you’re wrong about - classy with jonathan menjivar (talks about ‘taste’ ans his that intersects with class) - articles of interest (deep dives into fashion and history) - in our time - 20000 hertz - longform (very insightful interviews) - song exploder - unexplainable - the Anthropocene reviewed - you must remember this - 99% invisible - the rest is history - the great women artists
Hope you find some podcasts you love ❤️

😃Sometimes you just need to take a day off to do your damn laundry and get shit repaired. Is that so wrong? The peace of not trying to fit things in before 9am or after 5pm on a weekday… unparalleled
