This is one I get a lot from. With episodes that long, though, I don’t need a second podcast!
I like Sam Harris’ podcast (and also a ton of great content from his Waking Up app, if you’re into that sort of thing):
And the only other one I’m currently subscribed to is this excellent podcast that shares Buddhist wisdom without all the religiosity (happens to be run by a fellow paraglider ):
i mostly listen to movie/entertainment pods, but for music by far my fave is ‘60 songs that explain the 90’s’ which actually just wrapped up its last episode of 90’s songs, and is about to transition to something else (i’m guessing ‘60 songs that explain the oughts’ but who knows). even if you do not like the song in the title of any episode, the journey the host takes you on is amazing and i so very strongly suggest giving it a try:
for non-music, by far my fave is ‘the rewatchables’ followed closely by ‘the cine-files’
I don’t listen to any music or bass related pods. Usually when I’m walking the dogs, I’ll pop on an audiobook, a podcast for my local hockey team (Go Avs!), or this gem.
That’s a great podcast! We had about a 13hr one-way drive at one point, and listened to this much of the way there and back. Even the kids stayed interested, and we certainly all learned a thing or two.
Not a podcast, but I have extracted the audio, put it on my smartphone and use it to get some sleep (cause suffering from severe insomnia) - Miracle Planet, which tells the 4.6-billion-year-old story of how life has evolved from its humble beginnings to the diversity of living creatures today.
The content is excellent (even if you believe in intelligent design, you can still listen to it as a fairy tale), it’s narrated by Christopher Plummer (who has a very soothing voice) and the excellent score was done by Daniel Toussaint.
Hahaha! Well, as we don’ t discuss religion here, I can’t comment
I’m scientifically inclined myself, but I love shows about flat earth, UFOs and Reptilians myself. So, I guess, scientific podcast can be entertaining to non-scientific people??!
We’re not discussing religion. We’re discussing science vs pseudoscience vs fantasy. My biggest problem with pseudoscience is it pretends to be real science and people who don’t realize that think it’s for real. Nothing wrong with fantasy, as long as you know that’s what it is.
I think most people are fascinated by science, or at least its findings, when they’re presented with it. We humans are curious by nature and enjoy learning how the universe works. I think people are often turned off by science because they think it’ll be over their head or make them feel dumb. But if it’s presented in a way that’s approachable, it’s just damned interesting.
Yeah that makes sense. It’s an epidemic in the US with your flat-earthers, anti-vaxers, ancient alien folks, etc. Europe really is a more civilized and enlightened place.
I saw a documentary about it. If people want to believe in something crazy: this is it!
Nobody gets hurt, everybody is having a good time … and those people surely do not pollute earth by flying around the world
I wholeheartedly endorse flat earth “theory”!
Also: put a ball somewhere on the street … it doesn’t roll anywhere! Are they right after all? It all remains a mystery!
