Podcast Maniac Newsletter - November 14

Hey, Podcast Friend!

Exactly how did it get to be halfway through NOVEMBER? Holy heck.

I've been working on my Best Podcasts of 2019 list, and have decided to publish it in two separate posts. The current plan is to publish the first post (with 7 podcasts) on December 10th.

My list of "Bests" is currently at 14. I'm still considering shows that have launched very recently, while also trying to hold out for any great new shows that might drop before the end of the year.

I think this year's list is going to be way better than the previous ones, so I'm super excited to share it! If you're new to this newsletter and haven't read the previous Best of posts, you can check out 2018 and 2017.

PS - The next newsletter is scheduled for Thanksgiving Day here in the US, when you'll no doubt be getting a zillion Black Friday emails. I promise to send it if you promise to open it and read it!

How's Work? with Esther Perel Podcast Review

Earlier this week, I shared my thoughts on the new podcast by renowned psychotherapist Esther Perel. I also go on a bit of a rant about listening to podcasts on Spotify, which I'm not a fan of.

YouTube Video: Chris Garcia Podcast Review

Over on YouTube, I posted a quick video about the new podcast by comedian Chris Garcia. The show is called Scattered, which has a bit of a double meaning (I explain in the video).

Podcast News

1. CBC Podcasts has teamed up with a Norwegian newspaper to expose a criminal network involved in child abuse. The show follows investigators and journalists. Read about it here.

2. This month, the One to Grow On podcast features interviews with Navajo activists and farmers. One to Grow On is a podcast about how food production affects our lives (I reviewed it earlier this year).

Side note: I think that November (Thanksgiving month) is the perfect time of year to get real and discuss the challenges that indigenous people face around food and agriculture. If you agree, go listen to One to Grow On.

3. Yahoo Finance launched a new podcast called Illegal Tender. The show will examine mysteries and conspiracies behind well-known business tycoons, socialites, and scam artists.

3 More Podcasts You Should Check Out

Have You Heard George's Podcast?

Season 2 of this mind-blowing podcast from George the Poet has just dropped. I have to admit that I'm behind in finishing Season 1, but only because I have to listen at 1.0x speed (which may be regular speed for you) to be able to catch everything.

Y'all, George the Poet is an artist of the spoken word. His podcast is a mix of multimedia and poetry that delivers thoughtful social commentary. It's unlike anything you've ever heard before. During an episode from Season 1, my mind was literally saying, "WOW, WOW, WOW!"

I highly recommend starting with the first episode of Season 1 and working through the episodes in sequential order. And if you like to listen on higher speed, slow it down; you'll thank me.

Odd Ball

Just when I thought I'd heard everything crazy about Florida (just kidding - that will never happen), this new podcast introduces me to a strange mystery from the 70s.

Odd ball is an investigative series into a real life story that may have paranormal parts to it. The show is an easy listen, and the website for it has lots of extras, like photos and newspaper clippings.

Have You Seen This Man?

ABC News produces this podcast about one of the United State's longest running fugitive cases. And when you hear about how this convicted murderer escaped, you'll be scratching your head.

This is a true crime/investigative podcast that follows present-day U.S. Marshalls as they continue the manhunt to find this escaped convict.
