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
nice try! - exploration of design and its interactions with people history government and more - highly recommend the episode about chandigarh or germania

rec’ing something I discovered via a rec (thank you Shadowbeni)
It’s great for curious people, and the sound design is awesome. They explore…everything.
I listened to these two today (1 and 2) and I can’t wait for more.

listen… reality tv is my way of life… I live and die about it. I truly believe it’s the anthropological and sociological study of human behavior… I would go as far as saying that it is the perfect literary analysis in our quest in understanding tragedies. Dare I say, the perfect piece of commentary on the concept of surveillance in modern day?
It’s also extremely messy boots! My Peacock subscription is my home base for all things reality tv from everything Bravo to Traitors (all countries!!) to Love Island US (which from season 3 onward is pretty great reality tv)
If you are a reality tv head… I cannot recommend enough getting that Peacock subscription and getting the TEA. Low price for that huge of library… what’s not to love?

So recently I made the switch from Spotify to Apple Music because I heard music for real for the first time with Apple Music like the audio quality is NUTS!!
The only thing that’s been kinda hard is navigating the algorithm and finding it hard to find new music which in a way is a good thing because shouldn’t I be researching new music for real… like my favs used to crate dig for real!!!
Anywho I found this app called NTS radio which I know Clairo used to be on for real and some of the songs she played were sampled in Charm!!
NTS radio is a dope space where you can hear different DJs from around the world and their set lists and it’s been where I have been getting so much new music… I imagine this what crate digging used to feel like… tune into NTS radio!
