Podcasts are awesome. Well, some podcasts are awesome. If you’re like us, you’ve curated your own cadre of podcasts to which you’ve subscribed, but you’re always on the hunt for more. And there are now a seemingly endless supply of podcasts. How do you find ones that you’ll like? Ask your Facebook group of working moms or knitting enthusiasts? Listen to those horrible I Heart Radio ads that make all of their podcasts sound like a hot mess?

We decided to embark on a monumental journey to listen to all the podcasts. Okay, not really. But a lot of them. And share with you why we hated them (or not).

    Episode 22 - Goop and Hollyshook

    Episode 22 - Goop and Hollyshook

    Once again we find ourselves diving into the ever-growing, ever-popular celebrity podcast genre.  First, we check out Gwyneth Paltrow’s podcast associated with her weird Goop...universe?  And we let hosts Ryan and Armin guide us through the latest celebrity gossip.  This episode was….surprising!
     
    Editing Note: After the recording of this episode, I was able to find more info on the hosts of Hollyshook so I've included their links in the show notes below.

    Update - Why We Hate Our Podcast

    Update - Why We Hate Our Podcast

    Where have we been?  What's up with the podcast?  When will regularly scheduled episodes resume?  Short answer: Busy season at work (pesky day jobs) and not enough pre-planning to get through it without a hiatus.  New episodes resume on 7/5 with a new schedule (bi-weekly with the occasional 'extra' episode), and some very minor format tweaks.  For details and some rambling, enjoy this mini-episode/update/whatever you want to call it.

    Episode 21 - Office Ladies and Chernobyl

    This week we are tackling two podcasts from a genre we haven’t yet explored: the watch-along (or rewatch) podcast genre.  But these are two very different examples of the genre.

Refreshing!

I came across this podcast without really looking for it. What a treat it is. It’s so much fun listening to a well thought out, relatively unbiased review show. These two do a darn good job of staying as objective as is humanly and honestly possible. They don’t seem to be tying to protect anyone and they don’t fawn over celebrities.
You can get useful information here. It would be great if they had done more, a lot more.
The public needs more of this kind of opinion piece. They’re not trying to push something. And they could teach a class on how to maintain perspective and be skeptical thinkers.
Just fun!
