rec’ing something I discovered via a rec (thank you Shadowbeni) It’s great for curious people, and the sound design is awesome. They explore…everything. I listened to these two today (1 and 2) and I can’t wait for more.
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
