Arielle, great recommendations. I already listen to the first two and have sampled “Dead and Kind of Famous.” Enjoyed it very much. Will listen more. The Bahamas is deluged with rain so I’ll walk inside the complex and listen.
I've been listening to Beyond+ and it's sooooooo important to me as someone who's lost loved ones to HIV. This show connects with young people who are HIV+ and shows that there is a future for them. I really love this explanation from their site: "We want to know, what is beyond an HIV diagnosis today? What is beyond the clinic? What is beyond adolescence? What is beyond loss? What is beyond graduation? What takes you beyond this moment?" I wish so many people had this podcast sooner. 🥹
If you're into business podcasts, you should definitely check out In Good Companies from Cadence Bank. Season 6 will cover everything about the future of work—covering AI, ESG, and more—with insights from some really sharp experts. It's perfect if you want solid info in under 30 minutes. Worth a listen if you're trying to stay ahead in business!
Hi Arielle! I wanted to recommend another podcast that I am loving right now. It's called From Now On -- https://pod.link/1766405014 -- and it shares stories from survivors of abuse in the entertainment industry. It's hosted by former model and talent scout, Lisa Phillips. She shares not only her own story of her time as a model, but also dives into deeply intimate and vulnerable conversations with others navigating that space. It's some of the most raw, authentic and powerful storytelling and conversations I've heard in a long time. I think it's such an important listen not only for those who want to work in entertainment but anyone who is struggling with unhealthy power dynamics, who wants to create safer workplaces for themselves and others, or who wants to better understand the process of healing from trauma. It's a hard but important listen.
Last week I attended NJ Web Fest and met with some of the team from Andas Productions and we got talking about their show "Comic Sans". It's a podcast about comics for people with no knowledge about comics.... which makes it pretty much perfect for me, a person who knows next to nothing in that space! I've been checking out their episodes on comics I've heard about but haven't been able to find an entry point into until now and truly enjoying myself. As a bonus? Their team is based out of Singapore, and it's been a breath of fresh air to get a non-US/American viewpoint into the world of comics!
I've recently stumbled into Chris DeMakes a Podcast, hosted by Chris DeMakes from Less Than Jake. He interviews other musicians about one of their most popular songs, and it's a super cool look into songwriting. You'll learn things like how Yellowcard's Ocean Avenue is really a reference to Ocean Boulevard, but Avenue rhymed better, and how MANY musicians thought what ended up being their biggest hits were nothing special during the recording process. A smaller "band you should know" gets featured in every episode, and as a bonus feature, Chris will even write a custom song for you — maybe Podcast Plunge listeners can crowdsource lyrics for an Arielle-centric jam? 🤔
