rising phoenix, social dilemma, my octopus teacher
this month, I finally finished about a year's worth of Radiolab podcasts. Radiolab was my first podcast and I definitely plan on donating to them this year. but rather than going even further back in their library, I tried listening to a few other shows. I gave Death, Sex, and Money a few episodes but won't be returning, and started listening to Insivisbilia by NPR. they're not bad; I find the stories compelling, but I don't like the editing as much.
Invisibilia podcasts of note: white vs white, The confrontation, Rough Translation: Liberté, Égalité and French Fries, The End of Empathy, A Very Offensive Rom-Com
