podcast

I enjoy this one for its informed deep dives into issues related to science, the natural world, and how we, as humans, relate to them. Season 1, which covers all things bison, is my favorite, but each one is engaging, thought-provoking, and impeccably researched.

This podcast is exceptional. Season 2, entitled “Onward Christian Soldiers,” is an inside look at a small town in Idaho, where a group of Christian nationalists are trying to end democracy as we know it. It’s utterly engrossing, with sharp, crisp narratives that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

A staple of WOC’s climate and energy team. This podcast is all about the energy transition and finding ways to reduce emissions across all levels of society.

An educational deep dive into many of the philosophers that have stood the test of time. Host Stephen West provides detailed and informative analyses on myriad philosophers throughout the ages. What I enjoy about this show is the wide scope of authors, creative thinkers, and philosophers that are showcased.

Folks from all over the world call in to this linguistics podcast to ask Martha Barnette and Grant Barrett questions about new words, old sayings, slang, family expressions, word histories, etymology, linguistics, regional dialects, word games, grammar, books, literature, writing, and more. It is a fun podcast to pick up on new language and sayings — from “lamppost syrup” to being “happy as a clam at high water.”

As an avid dog nerd, I love learning about our furry companions. Hunting Dog Confidential is an in-depth look at the history of hunting dog breeds from around the world and how their histories intertwine with the unique landscapes, hunting styles, and human cultures that developed and refined them.
