love this podcast if you haven’t listened, definitely give it a try! I got onto it after my prof for social psychology assigned a few episodes. love the documentary elements, there are episodes that have really stuck with me!
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 ❤️
and waking up by the ocean to a thick fog morning. one of my favorite parts of my road trip, partly because it felt like we were getting away with something big ($1k fine if you’re caught sleeping at a pull off) and partly because it was only the 3rd of 16 nights car camping up the coast so the novelty hadn’t worn off quite yet.
I mentioned i liked their nice cube to my friend and then next time I came over I was gifted one in pink! this is better than a birthday present tbh. sometimes bday gifting is too much pressure and expectation. on another note stress ball while driving is much more tolerable so i’d like to recommend that practice as well.
