Karina Longworth’s podcast is usually pretty hit or miss for me, but her season on Polly Platt, the legendary production designer, hit on every level a podcast can function on.
Informative. Revelatory. And ultimately heartbreaking, in this season finale episode where Platt, (the connecting thread between filmmakers like Peter Bogdanovich, James L. Brooks, Cameron Crowe and Wes Anderson) falls into the dustbin of film history.
It’s the only podcast episode that’s brought me to tears and maybe it’ll do the same for you, if that’s what you’re looking for.

🥶This is one of the best podcast series I’ve ever listened to. It’s the story of the disappearance of Susan Powell. Lots of weird Mormon family stuff going on here and utterly tragic. I’m seeing that there are other seasons, which I can’t vouch for, but season one got to me.

about all aspects of the designed world, super interesting episodes about architecture, obsolete music players, hostile design, and a very interesting episode on how to warn future generations of nuclear waste areas

Susan Simpson of the all star Undisclosed team gets to the truth, and actually makes a difference. You will be disgusted at injustices, feel the grief of loss, and have your faith in humanity bolstered.

Surprised no one’s mentioned it yet, especially because I think Cash was tapped for a rec list, but this one floored me when it came out about a year ago.
Funny. Short. Unpredictable. And if you need more convincing, it has blurbs from the likes of Tao Lin, Chelsea Hodson and Garielle Lutz.
Enough said. Start Reading.

Shout out to Blackbird Spyplane for putting me on to this guy in their most recent newsletter.
Don’t know much about him other than that he recently performed on the Jimmy Kimmel show so he must be on the rise.
Listened to him on the way to and from work and let’s just say I WAS VIBING.

Brutal. Honest. Unflinching. Ugly.
You can’t look away, but there is love beneath it all.
You’ll either read this in a scorching mad dash or slow it down for more of a controlled burn, either way you will come away changed.
