How goes it, Podcast Plungers?
Quick question for you to kick off this week’s issue:
This newsletter is reader-generated. You listen to podcasts. You comment on these posts telling me about them. I recommend your recommendations.
Thank you to the Plungers who commented on last week’s post with their recommendations: Sarah, Joey, and Paulette.
Here are the podcasts you recommended:
Recommender:
ofPodcast: Good People, Cool Things
Why do you recommend it: This is shamelessly my own show, but it's topical since my guest, Marc, has another book coming out! He loves studying the strange and bizarre stories out there, and this episode covers our fascination with ghosts (including why ghosts never seem to have feet), the tallest man in the world, and the embalmed head of Oliver Cromwell.
I'd recommend listening while fleeing from a haunted house — or, perhaps more reasonably — while admiring Halloween decorations around your neighborhood.

Podcast: Hegemonicon
Why do you recommend it: Hegemonicon is a weekly investigation into the workings of power hosted by Sunrise Movement co-founder Will Lawrence, including what organizers have learned from recent movements and crises and how we can apply it to build power from below.
Recommender:
ofPodcast: Daily Fail
Why do you recommend it: Has anyone recommended the Daily Fail yet? Because if not, this needs to be on the list. The two hosts tear apart three of the worst headlines published by a certain newspaper that is never named. It’s hilarious (if a little infuriating).
What next?
Consider testing out ONE of these shows and leaving a review for it on Apple and/or a star rating on Spotify! It’ll help the creators reach more people.
Explore the healing power of imagination through audio.
Until next time, happy listening!
