I'm trying to be a more educated individual, however most of my free time is in a car. I don't intend to maim myself by reading a book and driving so I've thought about podcasts. I know there are some super interesting and awesome ones out there. Fill me in, what are your favorites and where do you find them? Both horsey and non-horsey work just fine!
I listen to a TON of podcasts at work! I work in sort of a loud office environment and it really helps me tune out the noise. I have listened to all seasons of This American Life. And quite a lot of The Moth. I really like stories from real people. I am also really hooked into real crime podcasts too. The big one being Serial (I loved Season 1... Couldn't get into season 2). Some news ones I've listened to are: Up and Vanished, Accused and In the Dark. I also listen to Happier by Gretchen Rubin sometimes, it's just about happiness habits...a bit light and fluffy when I need a break from murder stuff. Also Invisibilia is quite good (but there aren't many episodes out). I listen to all my podcasts on podbay, it's free and the site is easy to use.
ReplyDeleteIf you like stories form real people Snap Judgement is fantastic. I also really like Stuff You Should Know. They cover one topic a week and learn and tell you about it. Some topics are better than others, all are entertaining. Wait, Wait, is a fun new/quiz show with comedians, VERY funny. Another fun one is Ask Me Another, a trivia quiz show, fun to play along with.
ReplyDeleteWait, Wait, might actually be called Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me
DeleteWait, Wait, Don't Tell Me is HILARIOUS. If I could get all my news from them, this whole year would have been a lot easier to swallow lol
DeleteI used to listen to This American Life all the time. Love it! Also, I like Horse Radio Network's Horses in the Morning. The hosts get a little too silly sometimes and off track, but they're very positive and funny and have interesting guests like Elisa Wallace, other famous riders, non-famous riders (myself for example), and the like. They do a monthly "Horse Husbands" episode hosted by Timothy Harfield Elisa Wallace's husband who is hilarious. He had my husband on as a guest. I have yet to listen to it. I get embarrassed really easily and my husband is very open and apparently was giving Timothy marriage advice on what to do when Elisa gets done at the barn late. LOL!

ReplyDeleteI also like some of Michael Hyatt's podcasts on productivity and blogging. Do you have a good app for listening to podcasts? I would love to listen to more but don't think of it and I have an Audible subscription so that one gets used. Thanks!
For sciency-ish things, classic Radiolab was good. I don't listen to them any longer as they are a bit overproduced, but if one catches my ear I will listen.
ReplyDeleteI am a regular Freakonomics and Planet Money listener -- they are both fab.
True crime podcasts included Casefile, In the Dark, Serial, and (for fun) My Favorite Murder.
Horsey podcasts -- Dressage and Eventing radio shows. I used to listen to the USEA podcast as well, but it's declined in my preferences.
Food podcasts -- The Splendid Table, Milk Street Radio, and America's Test Kitchen, and the Serious Eats Podcast.
Others include the Savage Lovecast (Dan Savage's podcast), Unattended Consequences (Patrick Rothfuss [author] and Max Temkin [created Cards against Humanity]), Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, and the Pirate History Podcast.
Definitely going to be stalking the answers since I'm running low on Podcasts. I love This American Life, Serial Season 1, Undisclosed, NPR Marketplace, Freakonomics, Radiolab, Criminal, More Perfect, In The Dark.
