recāing something I discovered via a rec (thank you Shadowbeni)
Itās great for curious people, and the sound design is awesome. They exploreā¦everything.
I listened to these two today (1 and 2) and I canāt 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 isnāt 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
- youāre wrong about
- classy with jonathan menjivar (talks about ātasteā 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 ā¤ļø
Everything will be shitty for a couple thousand years but life finds a way and it's all going to be okay (for the general concept of life, not for humans) in the end even if we do our best to destroy all the planet
