ok like podcasting is a disease and it is spreading worldwide BUT I LOVE A GOOD PODCAST BETWEEN FRIENDS
they very often pull me out of an anxiety spiral or will ward off the incessant loneliness of depression which is great like why are they lowkey better than ssris🧎♀️🧎♀️
sorry most of these are history podcasts bc that’s mostly what i listen to but there’s a range of topics
last week tonight with john oliver (youtube) - he recaps the last week or a specific topic in a very understandable funny yet educational way
conflicted: a history podcast - for something a bit more serious in tone - its deep dives into different events in history especially those that don’t get much attention
book club (bbc) - discussions of books with the authors and a group of readers - so many episodes going back years to choose from
slow burn - season long deep dives into events like the clinton impeachment, lead up to the iraq war, rise of clarence thomas
anthropocene reviewed - has a more hopeful tone - john green reviewing and explaining different aspects of the world like orbital sunrises
contrapoints (youtube) - tackles different topics from a lot philosohical cultural sociological perspective - love the video on twilight
us & them - talks about decisive problems in the us from both sides my fav episode is the gun divide
colorless wonderland (youtube) - my fav book channel hes so enthusiastic and has such unique book recs
the morbid zoo (youtube) - deep dives into horror and thriller movies from sociological cultural perspective - she’s so smart and and well read my fav videos are on civil war and sound of freedom
