One more podcast shout-out to my ol’ pal @tedprice3.bsky.social what made “The Completists” such a joy. (And you can still listen to the complete catalog on Spotify, oddly enough.) Thank you, Mr. Price. We’ll finish the Prince series someday. #Podsgiving

No salute to podcasts would be complete without a tip of the pilgrim hat to my colleagues at @366weirdmovies.bsky.social, who come back week after week to preview all the new frontiers on stranger cinema coming your way. Throw off your chains, skip Tron: Ares! Onward and weirdward! #Podsgiving

Blame accepted! Celebrate Thanksgiving with this bonkers corporate shill/children’s time-filler, and learn just how terrifying an inflatable balloon can be. Leave the side dishes in the oven, it’s time to grab a seat in front of the Franklin Institute and wave at the Marrying Turkey, kids!
Happy Thanksgiving! Sorry about the nightmares. Blame @shanewilson.bsky.social.

History can make you cry, and @natedimeo.bsky.social does it all the time with “The Memory Palace.” Robert Smalls, Washington’s dance hall, and once I had to pull the car over because of a dog named Christmas. So many stories, little bite sizes of historical heft. #Podsgiving

This is another not-a-podcast, but Star Trek: Lower Decks is probably my my favorite TV show of any kind of the past 10 years, and all praise to @mikemcmahan.bsky.social for creating it and his whole team for bringing it to life. So sad it’s gone, so grateful it exists. LOWER DECKS! #Podsgiving

I’ve only just dipped my toe into actual play podcasts, and @hellorhighrollers.bsky.social leads the way. The minds behind Mischief Theatre make terrific plots and rich characters, their laughter is infectious. The whole thing makes me want to buy a set of dice. #Podsgiving

“Imaginary Worlds” by
@emolinsky.bsky.social is the NPR-style review of science fiction that we’ve always needed, and he digs deep into topics like game books or Afrofuturism. His explanation of the alignment grid is the best I’ve ever heard. When’s the Magic Tavern episode, Eric? #Podsgiving

Not that they need a good word from me, but @magictavern.bsky.social is still killing it after 10 years, which is a relief, because if it weren’t, I’d have to lie to my friends about how much I enjoy listening. Thank you for sparing me that burden, guys. #Podsgiving

Since I’m shouting out friends, @arnieniekamp.bsky.social has a new show called “No-Skip Christmas” which has made me love Christmas music after stores and radio stations tried to ruin it for me. It fills a need that I didn’t even know existed, and shows off conversation at its best. #Podsgiving

My friend @steev.bsky.social made a podcast out of his old “Frying Pan” segments in WGN, and they’re the funniest damn things. I know he’s only got a couple episodes left, which breaks my heart, but they are so joyfully silly that I want them anyway. #Podsgiving

I started listening to @escapepod.org years ago, back when it was my regular listening on the train ride to work, and it still provides some of the best new science fiction stories to be heard. The one audio fiction podcast that has stuck around all this time. Kudos, gang. #Podsgiving

Desert Island Discs has been a BBC mainstay for 8 decades, so does it need a shout-out from me? You bet. @laurenlaverne.bsky.social is a delightful host and proves week-in, week-out, regardless of whether I know the guest, that music is a superb way to get to know a person. #Podsgiving

Not a podcast, but for me, @tombreihan.bsky.social does the best music writing on the internet today, especially his Coachella poster breakdown and the unrivaled “Number Ones” column. My best writing pales next to his gift for a turn-of-phrase. Must read. #Podsgiving

One of my must-listen podcasts has always been Hit Parade by @cmolanphy.bsky.social, which is still finding amazing stories in the Billboard charts after several years. I recommend regularly. Someday he’ll explain what was up with Cashbox, and when he does, it will be a terrific listen. #Podsgiving

One of the most intriguing podcasts around is Cautionary Tales with @timharford.ft.com. At a time when leadership is characterized almost exclusively by mistakes, it’s valuable to remember that to err is human, and the only sin is to not learn from our missteps. #Podsgiving

The Poscast is the best of good-natured guys shooting the breeze about sports, acknowledging that it’s not important and discussing it like it’s war strategy. The Christmas drafts are wonderfully insane. One plea to @joeposnanski.com: PLEASE check the “make public” box on your HOF ballot this year.

You know what podcast made my jaw drop JUST TODAY? @sidedoorpod.bsky.social, with a killer episode about Lincoln’s pocketwatch. A fantastic showcase for the Smithsonian, which is one of America’s greatest treasures and needs to be protected from our current moment. And Lizzie is great. #Podsgiving

The world is, of course, a trash fire, so @epmcool.bsky.social is vital for leavening all the crap with skylines, bird calls, and guitar pedals. Bringing much needed humor to increasingly awful situations. And probably too much UNC stuff, but, you know, let ‘em have their fun. #Podsgiving

It may be cliché by now to observe that @99pi.org is one of the great podcasts of all time. Well, let’s hear it for clichés, because it’s still the best, one of the only podcasts that I put on the second it comes out. There’s no one who explores problems AND solutions quite like them. #Podsgiving

2025 is the year that I sucked it up and started listening to @blankcheck.bsky.social, and I’m glad I did. So much fun to reconnect with the works of Spielberg, Lynch, Zemeckis, Musker & Clements, and Nolan through two guys who love movies. Next up? Who knows; it’s a buffet. #Podsgiving

When it comes to sound, @20k.bsky.social has no peer. They just did an episode about Wicked, and I’m thinking, “Oh, great, Wicked.” Because I forgot they’ve never done a boring episode, and I learned so much about how they recorded that movie, just like I learn something every episode. #Podsgiving

For years, the gold standard for Beatles podcasts was @beatlespod.bsky.social, and their recent reposts have proven that it still is. Their exegesis on why the Beatles don’t own their songs is a must-listen for fans. They don’t owe me new episodes, but I sure wouldn’t mind. #Podsgiving
