I really enjoy Monocle Magazine, Podcasts, retail etc and have listened to The Globalist, The Briefing, and The Urbanist for years but The Curator is a nice weekly listen for me that helps me get away from the daily grind of world news and dive into different topics that I wouldn’t get anywhere else.
