I made a vow to myself in art school to stop listening to artists and start listening to writers because they are WAY better at telling stories/public speaking/giving interviews/talking in general. Rn I'm listening to In Writing with Hattie Crisell and the New Yorker ones like The Writer's Voice. I like In Writing because it's about how they write like literally what their desks look like, what time of day, etc. Demystifies it all a bit

I basically only listen to these sorts of podcasts so hopefully these recs will be of use to you
If books could kill - very funny but also informed and thorough discussions of non fiction books - has helped be more critical about what I read and be aware of how authors distort facts and create narratives
Radiolab - investigative deep dives into a range of topics - I would really recommend the ep playing god
Us and them - deep dives into systemic issues in the us like gun violence
Through line - goes back into the history of various topics like the history of smell
Ologies - lighthearted but very informative episodes about various niche fields - I love the episodes on thanatology
Nice try! - focuses on the history of design and architecture that usually isn’t covered - really rec the ep about germania (Germany during and after hitler)
Conflicted: a history podcast - really rec the series in the partition of India
Natalie Haynes stands up for the classics - very entertaining recaps of Greek myths
Book club bbc - interviews with authors
Others:
- the experiment (the Atlantic)
- search engine
- you’re wrong about
- classy with jonathan menjivar (talks about ‘taste’ ans his that intersects with class)
- articles of interest (deep dives into fashion and history)
- in our time
- 20000 hertz
- longform (very insightful interviews)
- song exploder
- unexplainable
- the Anthropocene reviewed
- you must remember this
- 99% invisible
- the rest is history

Sometimes you just need to take a day off to do your damn laundry and get shit repaired. Is that so wrong? The peace of not trying to fit things in before 9am or after 5pm on a weekday… unparalleled
