Next Door Villain

Long-time readers of this newsletter will know that I have a particular penchant for podcasts with unique ideas. That’s why I was thrilled to have this one come across my desk. Next Door Villain is a show all about fictional villains. But it’s not just a rote exploration of fictional baddies, no, this show tries to strip these characters down to their humanity. What makes them tick? Is there something we can find to sympathize with these characters or are they just pure evil? A pretty interesting show with a great premise! Give it a listen today.

Conversations with Musicians with Leah Roseman

Ok, I won’t lie… this podcast needs some help with its podcast cover. But beyond the not-so-great cover, is actually a pretty great show that explores the lives of musicians of all stripes. Hosted by violinist Leah Roseman, this podcast covers wide-ranging discussions with a variety of musicians discussing their art, their music-making and learning process as well as deep dives on composing, and the actual instruments themselves. Give it a try.

The Knowable Podcast

What are the limits to what’s knowable? It may sound like a philosophical question, but it’s more of a science question. As humans push out to understand the universe and everything in it, we gain knowledge, but how does our thinking about the big questions in science and technology evolve over time? That’s what this podcast is all about. It’s an audio journey that explores various puzzles in science with plenty of surprises along the way.

History Daily

Looking for a daily dose of easily digestible, but still very interesting accounts of some of history’s most interesting people and events? This bite-sized history podcast is rarely longer than 20 minutes long and is incredibly well put together and covers a huge variety of historical events. Whether it’s to remember the tragedy of December 7th, 1941, the day “that will live in infamy,” or to celebrate that 20th day in July, 1969, when mankind reached the moon, History Daily is there to tell you the true stories of the people and events that shaped our world—one day at a time.
