Sharing #podcasts and #radio programmes I've either enjoyed, been moved by in some way, or been involved in the making of. Feel free to send me recommendations - my ears are always hungry! From #Leeds UK, now living in #Bretagne, #France.
Also, you probably didn't notice, but I'm now posting links to @pocketcasts.com having abandoned Spotify. Why? Because as good as it is from a user POV, I don't want to contribute to a company whose CEO is investing the wealth it's bringing him in an AI military startup.

If you can get past the audio smorgasbord accompanying the first episode, this is a really compelling listen - so much so that I've been purposely choosing Tuesday to go running, to coincide with the release of new episodes. But you, my friend, can binge it all in one! pca.st/podcast/5c5d...

If I'm not listening to #podcasts, I'm listening to music. And this is what my head's been bopping to while I've been writing today. A class (and ridiculously loving and carefree) act 👌 youtube.com/watch?v=xpvj...

Did you know that the first 'voice' sounded like a fart? I didn't, until I heard this episode of @radiolab.bsky.social which takes the listener all the way from our fishy evolutionary beginnings to the modern inventions that aid speech, via beautifully spliced conversation and thoughtful narration.

If you've ever said #namaste to someone, the science is now all there to support the sentiment that there really IS light inside us all - thanks to the work of @msahsorin.bsky.social and her colleagues. Fantastic episode of the @radiolab.bsky.social #podcast ✨🙏✨

If you don't fucking like coarse language, then this might not be the #podcast for you. If you love fucking brilliantly produced #scriptedaudio, however, then you should listen to this short series about the criminal felling of the ancient tree at #sycamoregap! www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/serie...

I started listening to this #interview while folding clothes, and ended by lying on the bed on my stomach, unable to let go of my phone as my heart broke...and then healed. A poignant and pertinent #story for our times, graciously told - and courageously lived. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

With proper (referenced) research, thoughtful use of archive audio, and killer lines like "Thunberg drives all of the right people into incoherent babbling", this #Conspirituality #podcast episode by @matthewremski.bsky.social is a masterclass in #audioessay writing. open.spotify.com/episode/42qn...

I love how much research the #podcast host (who's not named in the show notes 🤷‍♀️) did for this interview with @isabelallende.com - her genuine interest results in compelling and revealing two-way dialoge, and #stories about stories that interlock like Russian dolls. open.spotify.com/episode/2R7g...

Such a warm and engaging conversation between two people whose passion for #storytelling and the ideas of #josephcampbell is more than evident. A particular highlight was the section on getting what we want and/or getting what we need - those #stories are everywhere. open.spotify.com/episode/2tat...

So....when did everyone start beginning sentences like this? I want to #edit an #interview with @realeminem.bsky.social a.k.a. the real Slim Shady. He knows how to do a self intro.

If the world's troubles are clawing at you, I suggest you apply the soothing balm of philosophical thought. According to the ideas of Ernst Bloch, our dispair, explains the host of @philosophizethis.bsky.social, is "evidence of the fact that more is possible". open.spotify.com/episode/3pB9...

"Here is sculpture being used as an instrument for awareness of being. What is the subject? Well, the subject is your experience of being within the field. Whatever you bring in will be amplified."

Being rather late to the @heavyweight.bsky.social party, I told myself to relax as I gobbled up every episode. "They've got a new home, there's more of this stuff," I reasoned. And there is - but not until THE SUMMER!! Time to find myself a space in the same boat as everyone else...
May 16, 2025 at 8:09 AM
Typical! You wait for a reference to #oneshot films and two come along at once.

Complete coincidence that my unstoppable consumption of the @heavyweight.bsky.social #podcast has brought me to Ep 22 - about the 9-hour (!!) oneshot film, Russian Ark - just as @netflix.com series Adolescence lands.

I'm not endorsing crime (or £4.8m toilets), but there's something wonderfully Lavender Hill Mob about this. No victims, just a whopping load of stolen gold. #MakeCrimeGreatAgain!
