ofPodcast: Our New South
Why do you recommend it: 2024 is a BIG election year for the world and for the United States. This will become your go-to podcast for understanding the history and dynamics in the South which will heavily influence what's to come.
Levine Museum of the New South (located in Charlotte, North Carolina) presents an original scripted non-fiction storytelling podcast hosted by journalist Kevin Blackistone and professor of history Robert Greene II who set out to discover the historical background of key societal issues in the South, providing a framework to understand the path forward. The show investigates how we got here, fostering conversations with changemakers seeking to make a difference in the South to educate and provide an opportunity for understanding to inform our collective future.

One more recommendation for The Robb Green Show!
The Robb Green Show recently relaunched with a new name and a unique focus that has me very intrigued. While it still features insightful conversations with entrepreneurs and business leaders, its new focus is on practical case studies of small to medium businesses tackling current marketing, business growth, and leadership challenges they are facing. Hearing about these businesses' challenges is incredibly insightful. Robb offers some really practical and timely tips, tailored specifically for 2024.
I really enjoyed this recent episode, From Accidental Freelancer to Entrepreneur. Lots of business owners can use these tips on automation and digital marketing.

As someone who lives in a southern city that very much feels like a northern one surrounded by a bunch of southern ones, Our New South hits HARD.
This is probably cheating because the show has "good" in the title! But this episode of Is This Good? featuring Alana Johnston simply delighted me. It covers a handful of questionable topics, from confronting doppelgängers to intentionally being wrong about grammar to making your Venmo transactions public. I love her mindset (and confusion) on all of the above and the weird foibles that make life so dang entertaining.
Really, the only non-"good" part is that the show isn't available on Pod.link, though you can still find it on just about every other podcast platform.
