Hey - I'd like to recommend my podcast Open To Criticism about how we talk about movies, who gets to do it and why it matters. I speak to critics, cultural commentators and others about how criticism influence what we all get to see onscreen and what might still need to change to better serve audiences... season 1 was nominated twice at last year's UK Independent Podcast Awards, and I have just launched season 2. Thank you! https://podfollow.com/open-to-criticism
Why I'm recommending it: 'Jane Eyre' by Charlotte Brontë is my all-time favorite novel, and I've visited the Brontë Parsonage in Haworth, England, to pay my respects to those amazing sisters — Charlotte, Anne, and Emily — who wrote some of the most enduring books EVER. The Parsonage is the home where the girls grew up, right on the edge of the Moors; it's a thrill to see their writing desks, the dining room where they wrote and talked about their books, and their ridiculously tiny dresses. The Parsonage just launched a podcast, and the format is great. A guest joins the (charming) hosts to talk about one item in the collection, then the guest shares a piece of writing inspired by the object. It's funny, insightful, and informative.
Good episode to start: I loved the episode with Lizzy Newman. She works at the Parsonage, has an affection for Doc Martens, and likes the more macabre sides of history. She talked about the Babbage Report, the results of a health inspection of Haworth in 1850, and used it as a way to talk about what it was like to live in the tiny mill town during the Victorian era. (Spoiler: It was rough.) Then she shared a fictional diary entry she wrote as a 19th-century resident of the town. The whole episode felt very personal while also being entertaining.
Why I recommend it: I love listening to behind-the-craft interviews with actors and musicians. It helps me appreciate the movies and music I am consuming more deeply. It also inspires me to practice creativity more openly when I glimpse just how messy the process of making something cool can be. This podcast fits that perfectly but with a twist I haven't heard on any other podcast before. The host, Erica Halverson, doesn't just interview celebrities like Lin-Manuel Miranda, Cecily Strong, and Bradley Whitford, but she talks to them alongside their mentors and teachers. Hearing actors I've come to love speaking so tenderly about their teacher's impact on them in front of them is so wholesome. This podcast is an inspiring and fun listen!
How my view grew looks super interesting, I will definitely check it out!
I'd like to recommend my podcast, D Listers of History. We talk about people's you've never heard of who changed the world.
