I thought I& #39;d start a thread of podcast episodes that have made me laugh, cry, smarter, curious, or that I& #39;ve been envious of because I didn& #39;t make them. I& #39;ll add more as I listen.
Firstly - because it& #39;s the last thing I listened to - is @99piorg& #39;s episode on @kassiastclair& #39;s book about colour, which is a fascinating historical trip through the rainbow: https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/the-secret-lives-of-color/
PS">https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/t... if that interests you then This is Love pod has an ep about the colour blue.

My two favourite episodes of Dolly Parton& #39;s America were & #39;I Will Always Leave You& #39; and & #39;Dollitics& #39;. The former is about her early career on the Porter Wagoner Show and the latter is about her politics.

I love the Amanda Feilding episode of @thelastbohospod about her life, psychedelic drugs, trepanation and her beloved pet bird. https://www.thelastbohemians.co.uk/amanda ">https://www.thelastbohemians.co.uk/amanda&qu...
I always listen to Modern Love on flights. No idea why, I think I just find it soothing. One of my favourite episodes is Abbi Jacobson reading & #39;Boy, What A Fabulous Baker& #39; https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/25/style/modern-love-podcast-abbi-jacobson.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/2...
I tweeted about this one yesterday but I& #39;m just putting it in the thread. Succession writer Lucy Prebble on the genius of When Harry Met Sally in this ep of Rule of Three. So good on comedy/rom com writing, and love the bit on the choreography of the film: https://play.acast.com/s/ruleofthree/eb6b4407-202a-464f-91d3-3fc04a633d17">https://play.acast.com/s/ruleoft...
Speaking of Succession, I used to want to be a film composer and I pretty much love everything Nicholas Britell has ever written and so this episode of @SongExploder about Little& #39;s/Chiron& #39;s/Black& #39;s Themes in Moonlight was right up my street: http://songexploder.net/moonlight ">https://songexploder.net/moonlight...
& #39;A Russian Assassin Tells His Story& #39; from the NYT Daily is so interesting. I won& #39;t give anything away about the story, you& #39;ll have to listen: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/08/podcasts/the-daily/russia-assassinations-putin-ukraine.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/0...
I always tell people to listen to @loveandradio& #39;s & #39;The Living Room& #39; episode. I love it. I also always save their secrets hotline episodes for long journeys. http://loveandradio.org/2015/03/the-living-room/">https://loveandradio.org/2015/03/t...
Living in London I always wonder what it would be like to live somewhere remote like the man in this episode of @thisisloveshow. & #39;How To Be Alone& #39;: https://thisislovepodcast.com/how-to-be-alone/">https://thisislovepodcast.com/how-to-be...
I love @leckerpodcast by @dearlucy because it& #39;s all about the greatest joy of all: eating. I really enjoyed her Table For One mini-series, which are very short and sweet: https://podcasts.apple.com/ch/podcast/1-table-for-one-soup-hearsay-audio-arts-festival-2019/id1158028729?i=1000435209086&l=en">https://podcasts.apple.com/ch/podcas...
I will add more as I remember/listen to them but I hope this provides some sort of joy on this particularly dreary Thursday afternoon. (My thoughts are with you if, like me, you got stuck in the lunchtime downpour and are spending the rest of the afternoon with wet feet).
I still think the first episode of Everything Is Alive is my favourite. See the world from the perspective of a cola can: https://www.everythingisalive.com/episodes/louis-can-of-cola">https://www.everythingisalive.com/episodes/...
There are so many good things about the latest Reply All. It& #39;s a name-that-tune saga that goes to impressive lengths to track down a song, uncovering some interesting stuff about late 90s music industry/US music radio culture along the way: https://gimletmedia.com/shows/reply-all/o2h8bx/158-the-case-of-the-missing-song">https://gimletmedia.com/shows/rep...
Tis the month that I get to see @Goldfrapp perform Felt Mountain, which I& #39;ve always wanted to see live, and which reminded me of this dreamy R4 programme by @FallingTreeProd that came out last year: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0006lng">https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/pl...
I am biased because I know everyone involved (apart from Gee) but the latest ep of @thelastbohospod on Gee Vaucher by @Ma_vans is a lush listen: https://www.thelastbohemians.co.uk/gee ">https://www.thelastbohemians.co.uk/gee"...
