My top 10 podcasts

Originally published by Lihsa.

Mysteries, the law and movies: podcasts for everyone by @Lihsa

A quick post: I’m not feeling very well–Houston allergies.

Fun fact: if you move to Houston, you will develop allergies within 2 years of moving here. Because it is abnormally warm, allergy cycles are accelerating. Tomorrow it is going to be 84 degrees Fahrenheit with 71% humidity. Ugh.

Nevertheless, the post must go on. Today’s topic? Podcasts.

Here’s a quick and dirty list of the podcasts I’m currently obsessed with:

  1. S-Town
  2. 99% Invisible
  3. You Must Remember This
  4. Lawyer 2 Lawyer
  5. This American Life
  6. Hidden Brain
  7. RadioLab
  8. The Moth
  9. The Daily
  10. My Favorite Murder

S-Town, produced by Serial and This American Life, is a deep-dive romance, mystery and legal conundrum of a small Alabama town and its amazing citizen, John. 10 episodes.
99% Invisible explores the thought, science and design behind items we may otherwise not notice. Weekly.
 
You Must Remember This gives behind-the-scenes glimpses into the Hollywood film history. Weekly.
 
Lawyer 2 Lawyer is hosted by Bob Ambrogi and J. Craig Williams present current events through the filter of the law, bringing on industry experts. Two to three times a month.
 
This American Life is practically an NPR institution, developed by Ira Glass and showcasing slices of America. Ira picks a theme and presents 3 acts that address the topic. Weekly.
 
Hidden Brain is hosted by Shankar Vendatam,explaining things like what your parking habits say about you. He weaves neuroscience, psychology, anthropology and economics into compelling stories. Weekly.
 
RadioLab addresses the intersection between science and philosophy. One of my favorites examined the ethical decisions raised by autonomous vehicles. Weekly.
 
The Moth is a story lover’s dream. Themed episodes feature 3 stories by individuals from around the world. Weekly.
 
The Daily is produced by the New York Times, covering a top story, taking a deep-dive with the reporting journalist and adding additional color and background. Five days a week.
 
My Favorite Murder captures personal tales of brushes with murderers and mayhem. It’s almost too scary for me and I have to take long breaks between listening. Some may have a stronger constitution and can handle it. Beware: very quirky and giggly. Weekly.
 
So there you have it. Good night, dear readers. Share your favorite podcasts in the comments–I’d love to learn about some new ones.
