Podcasts

I think my dream job is in radio. For reals.

I'm listening to these podcasts a lot lately.

The Moth
15 minute stories read aloud without notes. Great for car trips or walks.

The Moth, a not-for-profit storytelling organization, was founded in New York in 1997 by poet and novelist George Dawes Green, who wanted to recreate in New York the feeling of sultry summer evenings on his native St. Simon's Island, Georgia, where he and a small circle of friends would gather to spin spellbinding tales on his friend Wanda's porch.


All Songs Considered
30 minute show dedicated to new music and reviews. Lots of great recommendations.

Every week, host Bob Boilen and producer Robin Hilton listen to hundreds of new albums to find the artists or songs worth getting excited about, whether it's the latest Swedish pop band, a hip hop artist going ambient, or a singer-songwriter with a twisted new take on love. Sometimes, artists and music critics are invited to have a turns as guest DJ during the 30 minute program.

Check out 'Fox in the City' for some hysterical gay pop culture mocking fun. I'm sort of in love. =)
