This is a shameless plug for my own podcast that I cohost with my friend, Remoy Philip. We explore how gender expectations lead to men "performing masculinity" and how that impacts them in different aspects of their lives. We have fun with the show formats, which are sometimes about music or movies, and sometimes about literature, but the episodes are mostly me catching Remoy up on what's happening in the world since he lives in a bubble of literature and real-life relationships, AWAY from screens. I tend to doom scroll and keep up on pop culture and political happenings, and we look at how patriarchy informs so much of it, usually with awesome guests who share their expertise and experience on a given topic at the intersection of masculinity. We try to make this complicated topic fun and light to listen to!
Separately... I really enjoyed the Dream Blunt Rotation episode of Indecent with Kiki Andersen. Important reminders on how big Pharma are much bigger and badder drug dealers than illegal narcotic traffickers could ever hope to be.
I'm recommending the brand new show, Nightingale of Iran. It's a documentary series created and hosted by sisters Danille and Galeet Dardashti. The sisters set out to uncover a decades-old mystery of why their famous Iranian Jewish relatives left Iran at the height of their fame, and take us along for the journey. It's a musically-rich show that transports us into their lives today and explores the history of a shared culture between Jews and Muslims in a refreshing way. Part mystery, part music history, it's a show that pulls you into the story and makes you wish all 6 episodes were already out.
This week I'm recommending BEEF because I'm so excited for season 2 to come out - set your calendar dates for February 14th!
You might know Bridget Todd, host of the popular podcast There Are No Girls On The Internet. I'd be surprised if you don't!! She is now back with a new season of her other hit podcast, BEEF. The podcast is a funny yet educational look at rivalries across industries and time to get to the heart of what comes before, during, and after two entities go after each other with all their might. You will love it as the perfect balance between a show like ‘Business Wars’ and pop culture.
Hi! I want to SUPER recommend Lowlines to your readers!
Have you been wondering how the hell did we get here? Going from one efficiently digitized moment to the next, waiting for the next ping, the next dopamine burst. I know I have! And Petra Barran was wondering the same thing. She took it one step further, or rather, one step lower for her new podcast Lowlines. Lowlines is a 100% independent 100% audio production. The six-part sonic scrapbook follows one woman’s pull to tune in to the pulse of place. Armed with just a recorder and without any plan or script, Petra set out to get closer to the ground, befriending strangers along the way. From a 36-hour Amtrak journey New Orleans to Tucson, condensed into 36
minutes to a brutalizing ayahuasca retreat hosted by a radically honest shamanic
apprentice in Peru, Lowlines is one woman’s journey that she invites us all to vicariously participate in. Start participating and connecting here: https://low-lines.com/.
