Shouts to two new podcast ventures: My Favorite Murder’s Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark launched Exactly Right. Slow Burn’s Leon Neyfakh left Slate to launch a new pod called Fiasco. As promised, I’ve rolled some Pod Takes from last week to this week. Happy bonus content. 6 Pod Takes 1) “The robots, most economists think, will win out.” Listen: The […]

Coming at you today from the excellent Sound Education in Boston. Made some more tweaks this week based on your feedback, with small expansions to the guest and new podcast sections. And I scaled back the Pod Takes. I’m trying to keep the length from getting out of control. As always, I’m grateful for any and all […]

This Week in Podcasts: Villains, Sandwiches, and Spam on Christmas Eve (#29)

I’m at the ride-a-stationary-bike-for-many-hours stage of my Achilles recovery, so I binged while pedaling this week. Dropped several inspirational sports and fitness pods into my media diet, too. I also listened to Slow Burn. I don’t think getting infuriated by Linda Tripp helped my recovery any. 7 Pod Takes 1) “It’s the most crushing […]

I go away for two weeks and come back to everyone talking about Serial again? Thanks, Kim. It’s been great catching up on the pods, though. So many excellent eps this week. 7 Pod Takes 1) “Just as a warning, if you’re listening with kids, today’s episode features Mel Gibson.” Listen: Today Explained: Don’t call it a […]

We’ve come to the end of one hell of a week of podcasts. Podcasts broke news. Podcasts soothed (me, at least). Podcasts put things into perspective. Podcasts featured A-listers. Podcasts interviewed inanimate objects. And people are still listening to Serial! As of this afternoon, it’s No. 13 on the iTunes chart.Lastly, shouts to all who […]
