NPR’s Shankar Vendantam “uses science and storytelling to reveal the
unconscious patterns that drive human behavior, shape our choices and direct
our relationships.” Sounds too dry? I assure you it’s not. If you like NPR,
you’ll like this podcast.
I’ve heard this described as Twin Peaks meets the X-Files, but really
this fiction podcast (masquerading as a radio show) defies definition. Dive
into the town of Night Vale and find out for yourself.
Sawbones http://www.maximumfun.org/shows/sawbones
A podcast on the weirder side of the history of medicine by
physician Sydnee McElroy and her husband.
Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me: https://www.npr.org/programs/wait-wait-dont-tell-me The super funny news quiz from
NPR. How much do I love this podcast? I went the live taping in Milwaukee a few
months ago.
Fiat Lex: https://fiatlex.podbean.com/
A Dictionary Podcast – If you’re nerdy about words
and/or enjoyed Kory Stamper’s book Word by Word, this is the podcast for
you.
Stuff You Missed in History Class:
Two engaging hosts talk
about historical people and events that you might not know about - or forgot
you knew about.
Lend Me Your Ears:
A podcast that explains the politics in
6 of Shakespeare’s plays and draws parallels to current politics. Same stuff,
different century.
In the Dark: https://www.apmreports.org/in-the-dark
Two amazing seasons from investigative
reporter Madeline Baran. The second seasons on the Curtis Flowers case was
recently cited in a US Supreme Court brief and the Court has agreed to hear his
appeal!
Dr Death: https://wondery.com/shows/dr-death/
A neurosurgeon, horrific surgery outcomes,
and the system that kept him practicing. Don’t listen if you have surgery
coming up soon!
Along these same lines, heard any good audiobooks lately? Send your recommendations to annie dot lipski at aurora dot org (take that, you gnarly web-crawling bots!) and watch for them in an upcoming WHSLA blog post.
I intend for book, podcast, and audiobook recommendations to be ongoing, so please feel free to send them to me at any time! With the holidays and the end of my semester coming up, they might be delayed a bit, but I promise to post them eventually!
