Oh wow podcasts.
I was doing the dishes. It was good because Russ Roberts was talking to me. I’m not ashamed to say that podcasts have changed my life. More specifically:
- Planet Money: an entertaining look at serious economic issues.
- Fresh Air: I used to be annoyed by Terry Gross. Now I have no idea how that could have been possible and I wish she were my friend.
- EconTalk: Russ Roberts from George Mason university (libertarian bastion) discusses economic issues of various kinds. I think I got into this one through Yaw. It’s one of the best at giving me food for thought.
- The Moth: hilarious stories every week. I sometimes cry they’re so funny. While doing the dishes.
- This American Life: each week, of course, they choose a theme. And they bring you three or four stories on that theme.
- Radiolab: blend of science and culture with Robert Krulwich, NPR science correspondent.
No wonder I have forgotten what boredom even is… there’s just too much syndicated content for it.
now you just have to listen to them at 2x to get in all the good content.
I tried that and am now even more convinced that you are insane. It’s so stressful!
Actually after a few hours you almost, almost stop noticing that it’s speeded up because the pitch is still the same. I now wonder how I got by without it.
Come on, now! Don’t team up on me…
