A thread on podcasts I've mostly enjoyed to follow:

I don't listen to many political podcasts. But @davidaxelrod has a very good interview show, and his guests really open up.

I also enjoy @RubinReport very much, though you have to listen at normal speed given the depth of discussion.

Never miss an episode of @wethefifth - it is the best in the biz when talking about big picture cultural topics, @kmele is brilliant, @mcmoynihan is fucking hilarious, @MattWelch is a perfect downer, and @anthonyLfisher should talk more.

You should definitely listen to Against The Grain, @HotlineJosh's podcast, which is as insidery as it gets on political machinations.

Now moving beyond politics: I love @billburr's Monday Morning Podcast, HEY HOW ARE YA, and not just for the ads and the problematic bits, but mostly for those.

I listen to @ThisShowStinks every day, where an aging orange bald sportswriter tries desperately to promote the neighborhood bar he bought in a fit of dementia, while surrounded by the inane blather of out of touch Boomer friends. The best guest by far is @CillizzaCNN.

Of course @PardonMyTake remains captain of my heart, but I worry that PFT's increasingly woke approach to life will lead to a divorce, perhaps to be replaced by ARod given the success of that spinoff?

I am a big fan of @SongExploder - they roll out some excellent artist interviews about the songs you didn't know you love. Don't miss the Black Keys Bojack episode.

Serial was very hit or miss this season. I was mostly bored but occasionally very angry.

I wish there was a new Acquisitions Inc episode every week. But @FearInitiative helped fill that void. Needed more of @RobSchrab, that slacker.

I really enjoyed this season of @Harmontown but I also learned that Dan would be a way too talkative DM which was disappointing. His rant about Red Dead was amazing though.

The interviews on @Recode with @karaswisher are must listen, particularly with prominent guests. She has no filter or guile, she just plows into the questions they don't want to answer.

Started listening to @ConanOBrien Needs a Friend. Don't miss the latest episode where Nick Offerman has sex in front of a coyote and fixes his bike with a rock, like a man does, but not at the same time.

A new hilarious addition to my queue is Something's Off With @MightyHeaton which has some excellent sponsors I'd like to acquire.

Episodes of LORE sometimes irritate me, but when they are good they're very good.

The @replyall episodes on spam calls and QAnon are great, but the Crime Machine episodes about NYC policing should win an award.

Listen to @unspooled as they watch all 100 of the top AFI movies, just be prepared for Amy to politicize everything, including comparing Mitch McConnell to a ringwraith.
