Also, I hope you will explain in more detail what you meant by “imagined history of Ukraine.” I don’t think I’ve met this wording/ concept anywhere else. By the way, are you posting your podcast only on apple music, or do you also use any of the rest of the Top 7 podcast hosting services? I use Spotify and wonder if I could find your podcast there. Whoever you are, you've stumbled into the wrong forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeymad Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 So, I follow this guy Craig Benzine on the YouTubes (aka WheezyWaiter), and he started up a podcast with Greg Benson (MediocreFilms). So naturally they start a podcast -- Two Guys Talking About Lettuce https://anchor.fm/lettuceguys It is what you would think, but also nothing that you would think. If you enjoy two comedians spending an hour just doing bits, this is for you. They started to put them on the YouTube as well. There is something about humor that does not resolve that I really enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you enjoy Michael's written work, you'll be right at home. First season was on the role of referees in American society, the second season was on the role of coaches. https://atrpodcast.com/ Listening to this two years later. It's quite good. And who knew it is antivenin, not antivenom? Edited June 19, 2022 by dsavitsk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMoney Posted June 19, 2022 Report Share Posted June 19, 2022 Latest season on the distrust of experts was also pretty poignant. I was worried Lewis would retreat a bit after what happened to his daughter but I am glad he is back on his horse doing his thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMoney Posted June 29, 2022 Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) I've really been enjoying this one, "A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs." It is a bit like a audiobook history of rock music with musical snippets thrown in. I just jumped in mid-stream. No need to start at the beginning.

dsavitsk Posted July 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 Spies don’t talk—it’s the cardinal rule of the business. But here at Foreign Policy, we get them to open up. On I Spy, we hear from the operations people: the spies who steal secrets, who kill adversaries, who turn agents into double agents. Each episode features one spy telling the story of one operation. https://foreignpolicy.com/podcasts/ispy/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blessingx Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) I want to give more info to encourage listening, but will hold off. This is a big picture piece about how doctors treat patients pain, especially women, how patients lie to themselves if they already consider themselves "defective", how sympathetic one is to those causing pain and what it means if you're not sympathetic?

blessingx Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 A couple suggestions... First, another Serial podcast, The Trojan Horse Affair, an investigation into a mysterious letter appearing in 2014 alleging an Islamic plot to subvert British schools. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-trojan-horse-affair/id1606918193 https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/podcasts/trojan-horse-affair.html Second, two philosophers and a guest discuss controversial propositions in Brain in a Vat, which from the first few listens has been a mixed bag (Imagine there is no gender? 👍 Is Islam more rational than Atheism? 👎), but I bet there are treasures among the episodes. Assume I'm late to the party here, but came across in an article of a professor, Stephen Kershnar, suing to get his position back having lost due to comments made during the Sexual Taboos episode. https://podcasts.apple.com/en/podcast/brain-in-a-vat/id1509951964 https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/braininavat https://www.youtube.com/@BraininaVat/videos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted December 20, 2023 Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 My favourite episode of Relatively Certain: https://jqi.umd.edu/news/taming-chaos-physics-and-ai I love that she doesn't sound like a physics professor.

dsavitsk Posted April 25 Author Report Share Posted April 25 (edited) There is a podcast called The Julia La Roche Show. It's basically a series of interviews dealing with macroeconomic and market issues. The host is not particularly good as an interviewer, but that turns out to be more feature than bug as she tends to have smart people on her show and she just lets them talk. Anyway, this is not a recommendation for the podcast in general as there are better ones on the same topic. However, one recent interview is worth a listen. It's with Scott Galloway (a B-school professor at NYU). I don't think he is right about everything, or really anything in particular, so this isn't an endorsement of his views, but I think what he has to say is interesting and worth listening to. The first few minutes are pretty banal middle class investment stuff, but it gets more interesting. Edited April 25 by dsavitsk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
