This podcast can introduce you to new artists or give you an entirely new appreciation of a classic song. Hear your favourite band or music artist take apart a song, piece by piece, playing never-before-heard recordings, and telling the story of how it was made. There’s nothing tricky about this format or the editing – it’s just good storytelling by funny, smart people.Ī podcast so great that they made it into a show (but the podcast is the better format IMHO). Listen to it: On loudspeaker while cooking a meal. The hosts always re-examine their lives with such humour and empathy.
My favourite episodes are often ones about women who have been shamed and derided by the press (such as Janet Jackson, Princess Diana or Anna Nicole Smith). Two journalists, Michael Hobbes and Sarah Marshall, reconsider a person or event that’s been miscast in the public imagination. Listen to it: On the weekend, while sitting in a park. Marketed as “fearless conversations about race hosted by two journalists of colour”, this is probably one of the most nuanced and unapologetic podcasts about race I’ve heard. But a trick I also use is looking up international and national documentary/audio/podcast awards (like the Third Coast festival awards) and looking at the categories that interest me. I do have the luxury of working with a team of podcasters who always have great recommendations. My favourite way to listen to a podcast is probably on a road trip.
I can listen to podcasts anywhere (and have nearly broken a few phones trying to do so in the shower). I also love that you can learn about history, science and a whole range of complex ideas, all while going for a walk or cooking a meal. What I love most about listening to a podcastĪ good podcast often feels like you’re just listening to a friend tell a story and I really enjoy how intimate that can feel – like you’re being let into someone’s inner thoughts and experiences.
