As always, welcome new subscribers!
Before we get to this week’s podcast recommendations, and in case you missed it last week, I wanted to remind you about something I've been working on for a little bit. Im starting a podcast - and it’s called Talk That Pod.
The show is being designed to feature conversations with the most interesting podcasters in the world about their shows, the podcasting ecosystem and more broadly how podcasts are influencing our society. The show is probably still a few weeks away from launch, but I wanted to start putting the word out there.
🚨 AND IF YOU’RE A PODCASTER… with a decent-sized audience and you think you might want to be on the show, fill out this form. Stay tuned!
Here are this week’s podcast recommendations ⬇️
DOCUMENTARY
What I Survived
What I Survived explores the extraordinary true stories of people who survived the unthinkable. Each story takes you back to who these people were before everything changed, then inside the moment their lives were pushed to the edge, shipwrecked at sea for weeks, held captive by terrorists, falling 15,000 feet from a plane after a parachute failure, and other extreme, life-or-death situations. Through first-hand accounts, we follow the ordeal as it happened, the decisions made under unimaginable pressure, and the will it took to survive. Then what came after, the physical and psychological recovery, and the process of rebuilding a life forever altered.

TECHNOLOGY
Shell Game
A podcast about things that are not what they seem, hosted by journalist Evan Ratliff. Season 2 tells the story of enterprise and entrepreneurship in the AI age. Or: how Evan tried to build a real startup, run by fake people. This season, Evan confronts head-on the assertion from tech entrepreneurs and VCs that we’re on the precipice of AI remaking the workforce. That we should expect not just AI colleagues working alongside us, but also — by Sam Altman’s telling, at least — the dawn of a billion-dollar company with only one human involved. Evan learns what it would take to create such a company … by doing it: Launching a real startup with five AI employees. Over the course of eight episodes, he explores what AI agents tell us about the work we do, the meaning we find in it, and the world that their makers say we’ll all be living in soon enough.

SCIENCE
Safe to Drink
A New Hampshire town finds out their water has been contaminated by a chemical. Their most basic question — whether the water is safe to drink — doesn’t have a clear answer. Nobody seems to know much about this so-called forever chemical, which is weird because… this has all happened before. From the Document team at New Hampshire Public Radio, Safe to Drink is a four-part series about the water contamination story that keeps repeating in town after town — and about the people who fought for answers through a maze of chemistry, regulations, and illnesses.

RELATIONSHIPS
Something About Soulmates
We're not here for "happily ever after." We're here for what comes next. Something About Soulmates is a podcast about love as a practice, hosted by best friends Anna Socolofsky and Grace Heerman. Together, they interview couples to explore the tender, funny, and complex art of loving on purpose. And every episode ends with the same question: do you believe in soulmates?

PERFORMING ARTS
A Tiny Plot
Using broken refrigerators, mattresses, and dishwashers, residents of Union Point Park barricade their tent city. And they fight for an extraordinary idea: their own plot of land, where they could live in community and set their own rules.A Tiny Plot is a new 5-part series from KQED’s Snap Studios. Host and Reporter Shaina Shealy takes listeners inside an encampment in Oakland for an against-all-odds story about scarcity, community, and the complexity of building something new from the margins of a broken system. What happens when people who’ve been shut out of a system that has failed them decide to take the lead? Disaster, and unexpected beauty.
