I wish every podcast came with a transcript, because I can read way faster, faster than the time it takes for my tolerance for disembodied bro science voices to run out.

The podcast you want is In Our Time, which the BBC has produced as a radio show since the late 90s. Three academics, an erudite host, discussions covering **everything** from the Long March to the history of Altruism to the Mariana Trench

Yessss the best podcast- no bs! Just like “welcome, in 1519 Magellan started his voyage, with us to discuss are professors xyz”

Delicious recs. A glass of sancerre on a rooftop, a DJ is fluent in 2004, 2010, and 2016, and that Toteme scarf jacket is truly all I want for spring.

No, but the way I inhaled this piece is sickening 😅 the Chanel flats are to die for! The MD blazer, omg - everything, everything, everything! 🖤🎀

If you want a podcast try fashion neuroses with Bella Freud

That one is fab!!!! but I care slightly less about adding more interview pods vs pods deep diving a thing with a guest (if that makes sense)

I don't know if this is academic enough, but I love NPR podcasts, especially Planet Money and This American Life.

tariro makoni's avatar

NPR is my heart’s core ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I should give their pods more of my time!!!!

ok so it is admittedly science-y (in the most approachable and mind-blowing sense) but Radiolab is an all-timer for me! Plus it's unbelievably well edited. Their older episodes with the og hosts are better, their episode on sleep is a good intro! Also, I personally have never tried but I know people swear by Malcolm Gladwell for this type of listen

I really enjoy the podcast If Books Could Kill (two dudes [but not too bro-y] go deep on a bestselling grind culture airport book and what the actual data confirms vs refutes about the book's premise/contentions). It's very funny, but also deeply researched, and unpacks a lot of myths and truisms in the culture. Poss not exactly what you're looking for but FWIW!
