Recommended Podcasts

I have to admit that I was a little late to the podcast game. For the longest time, I associated podcasts with itunes/apple. After all, the name originated as an amalgamation of the words ipod and broadcast. It seemed like too much of a hassle to try and get them on my phone. For a long time, I stuck to my library audiobooks and figured I wasn’t missing out on too much. But, boy was I wrong. Over the past couple years, podcasts have become standard parts of my days and weeks. It is such a joy to listen to passionate and intelligent folks talk about things for which they are passionate and knowledgeable. I have come to collect them on my phone like rare and prized stamps in a collection. So, this week, I decided I would detail a few of my recent favorite episodes below:

The Plant Proof Podcast, hosted by Simon Hill - Building a Healthy Gut With Dr. Will Bulsiewicz

This episode covered SO MUCH. It delves into the basics of the latest science on the micro biome, as told by gastroenterologist and plant food advocate Dr. B. Both fascinating and enlightening, it will give you new insight into the multitudes within us.

The Rich Roll Podcast, hosted by Rich Roll - Andrew Morgan on the True Cost of Fast Fashion

I know what you’re thinking. You’ve seen the movie, how much more could this podcast contain that you haven’t already heard? The answer is a lot. Rich and Andrew get into really insightful conversations about family, personal responsibility, and duty as it relates to living in a capitalist society. This one came out almost four years ago, but I just heard it for the first time last month. If you haven’t listened yet either, it’s worth checking out.

Between the Covers, hosted by David Naimon — Layli Long Soldier: Whereas

Poet Layli Long Soldier on poetry, place, history, and her book of poems, Whereas. This is one of the best podcasts to which I have had the pleasure of listening. I won’t give away too much. Just listen. I promise you won’t regret it.
