A couple years ago, I posted a list of the podcasts I follow. Here's an update on that.
- 30 for 30
- cool mini versions of the ESPN documentary films
- FiveThirtyEight Elections
- good, data-driven insight into all things political
- Fresh Air
- Terry Gross is a national treasure!
- Hello Internet
- Hidden Brain
- This show does a good job of taking both sociology and psychology seriously. Best of all, it knows the difference and has featured a lot of sociology recently.
- Nancy
- all things queer that you were afraid to ask
- TED Radio Hour
- sometimes hit or miss, but generally thought-provoking
- Invisibilia
- I am so ambivalent about this show. They ask sociological questions but tend to give psychological answers. Even when they are sociological, it's very armchair. I should probably unsubscribe.
- On the Media
- so, so good; so, so necessary
- More Perfect
- Learn more about SCotUS.
- Reasonably Sound
- philosophy via audio
- Research on Religion
- I have a lot of issues with this podcast. There is some good stuff here, but more often than not, the guests are Christianists and/or not sufficiently academic. The host is disappointingly uncritical. I should probably unsubscribe.
- Song Exploder
- a window into the songwriter's process
- This American Life
- This is a generally engaging show, but this year, in particular, they have been right on top of the pressing issues, most notably race.
- Writer's Almanac
- I start every day with poetry. Garrison Keillor is a national treasure!
- WTF
- Marc is an interesting guy. Not all of his guests interest me, but he has some gets.
- The Annex
- I just stumbled on this new sociological podcast on Twitter recently. I have yet to listen to an episode, but it looks promising so I thought I'd include it here at the end.
