- Radio Rental: “Both seasons. Just delightfully creepy true stories. Not crime really. Just interesting.”
- BirdNote Presents: Grouse: “It’s about the sage grouse and its declining population out west, and touches on the environment, rural life, biology, etc. Super well done imo!”

This is what they talked about:

Freedom of Speech podcast listening list
Join the global virtual chapter meetings
Podcast Brunch Club listening list on Language
Hurt Your Brain newsletter
70 Million podcast (sponsored advertisement)
Paul’s podcast picks:
- 80 Percent: a 6-episode serialized podcast about a man’s experience with prostate cancer
- Driving the Green Book: a broadcaster and activist “drive from Detroit to New Orleans, collecting stories about how Black Americans used the historic travel guide The Negro Motorist’s Green Book during the height of segregation as a vital resource to quell fears, find safe havens, and travel with dignity.”
Recommendations from the PBC Facebook Group community:
- The Bible Project: “the casual style makes complex topics super approachable and easy to listen to”
- Real Ass Affirmations: “a hilarious, firey, short podcast with some good advice that we all know deep down inside but need a little kick in the a** to be reminded of.”
- Meet Cute: “creates 15-minute scripted rom-com stories to escape into”
- Uncover Season 7: Dead Wrong. “It’s about a man who is falsely accused of murder and the absolute travesty of justice that follows. I was absolutely shocked. Troubling and revealing.”
- Unjust & Unsolved: “Journalist Maggie Freleng tells a different story every week about a person who was convicted of a crime they possibly did not commit. It’s pretty early in their run but I think it’s really good and interesting so far.”
