I just finished back to back audiobooks, so of course now I have a huge podcast backlog. I’m going to share three podcasts that I currently have on rotation:
This just wrapped up Part One, so you have plenty of time to catch up before it resumes. It’s made by the people from Welcome to Night Vale, but where WTNV is jokey-horror, this is actually super creepy. Our unnamed narrator is on a cross-country truck drive, telling her wife Alice about her quest to find her.
For fans of: Welcome to Night Vale, Stranger Things, Twin Peaks
CYG is a weekly talk show hosted by best friends Ann Friedman and Aminatou Sow. They talk about current events, pop culture, this week in menstruation and tackle topics like ethical shopping and long-distance bestie-hood. They’re super smart and their discussions always delve into the complexities of an issue — even if that issue is the economics of the Kardashians.
For fans of: Samantha Bee, Beyoncé, Shine Theory
Sunday School Dropouts is hosted by a former Christian and a cultural Jew, both of whom are reading through the Christian Bible for the first time. They take a gently mocking, while still largely respectful tone, and provide a lot of interesting context on where the events and writers are placed historically. I’m learning all kinds of interesting things about wisdom literature, ancient faiths, and also that the Old Testament is little Game of Thrones-y.
