Favorite Podcasts

Against time and space on my phone, I've added two more podcasts:

Death, Sex & Money
Firearms Cafe
 
Listening to an Ellen Burstyn interview on that Death, Sex and Money pocast. Great episode.

Anyway, she made some really beautiful points regarding everyday things.

In respect to the outlay and decoration of her bedroom:

I have Genesha and Saraswati and Jesus and Shiva. So there’s a sacredness to this room. This room, which is full of light—some people choose a room to go to sleep in. Other people choose a room to wake up in. So this is a room to wake up in.

And in regards to being a mother:

Through a lawyer. I remember when I was in Iran, I was talking to this teacher, spiritual teacher, and he said, sometimes our children are our spiritual children. And sometimes our children are not our spiritual children. If we saw them on the other side we wouldn’t recognize them, we’d walk right by them. I don’t know that that’s true or not. But I do have the feeling that my son is my son. He is my son, period. There is no difference between when you mother a child—I mean I was astonished to learn that mother is a verb. You know, that’s when you mother a child that a relationship is formed, and you become the noun then. You become the noun by doing the verb.

I looked her up because I didn't know who she was. Wow, she has worked very consistently since 1958. That's pretty amazing.
 
I added StartUp to my list and finished the season. Incredibly eye opening, especially if you have dreams of starting a media company of sorts.

Haha, no ****.

I still don't know what a podcast is. I assume it's a hipster, **** head way of saying radio show.

It's kind of endearing how ****ing stupid you are. It's like Jazzfanz has its own Arnie Grape.

Your reference of "hipster" makes you sound threatened.

A downloadable audio (radio) program.

Serial is a spinoff of the radio show This American Life, but is only available as a podcast. Both This American Life and Serial are awesome and every person should be listening to TAL at least.

"Good call, dumbass."
 
I started a thread awhile ago similar to this. My apologies for missing this thread.

My girlfriend and I went to Austin this last weekend to try the Radiolab / Detour app collaboration. Radiolab put together a show about the Servant girl killer who ran amok in 1885. The detour app basically worked as a tour guide through our phones gps as we walked through downtown austin at various historically important places. Overall ot was a really cool experience. From what i understand Detour will be expanding to other places in the US and if they do, you should give it a try.

Have not heard of that, seems like a very cool idea.
 
@PointGodAlecBurcksGodGuy: Have you listened to the On The Ropes podcast from Grantland? It's pretty ****ing good and they get some really good interviews from both fighters and coaches.
 
"[The sheriff] told the mob leader, 'You already hung two of them so that oughta satisfy you.' And then they began to yell for me like a favorite basketball or football player." - A man named James Cameron, in a 1994 interview with Fresh Air, recalling the day that he was almost lynched in Marion, Indiana. In addition to Cameron’s interview, this week’s episode of Radio Diaries pulls audio from interviews with the Indiana residents who witnessed the lynching of Tommy Shipp and Abe Smith—and near lynching of Cameron—in 1930. It's an incredibly disturbing first-hand account of an experience that no one else is ever believed to have survived.

“Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck, for the rain to gather, for the wind to suck, for the sun to rot, for a tree to drop. Here is a strange and bitter crop.” -Abel Meeropol

Poet and songwriter Abel Meeropol wrote that lament after seeing a photograph of two black teenagers hanging from a tree, after being lynched in Marion, Indiana, on August 7, 1930. Meeropol’s song, “Strange Fruit” was later made famous by Billie Holiday. A secret, missing from the photograph, is that a third black boy was supposed to die that fateful day. James Cameron is believed to be the only African American to have survived a lynching. This is his story. And this is also the story of the white residents of Marion, Indiana who witnessed or took part in the fateful events of August 7, 1930. In the 1970’s, some of their memories were recorded on cassette tapes, put in a box, and then forgotten for decades. Those cassettes were found in a basement a few years back, and you’ll hear them throughout our story.

Lady Moe, thank you for that! I just finished reading the book review. I've added it to my wishlist on Amazon. Did you read the book? Sounds massive but a worthwhile literary journey. I'm going to post in another related thread to have you read something that you are going to hopefully enjoy.
