I often have my most peaceful/whole moments here on Sunday mornings, because it's my tradition, discipline, and joy, to take a good long run...a good hour or so. Usually it's accompanies by a podcast, which keeps my mind off of running and onto something a little deeper. The podcast is also a beautiful thing to accompany me in the kitchen while making a recipe for dinner or a batch of indulgences. Today, I share with you the 5 most impactful podcasts I've listened to. All of these deserve their own blog post, or multiple, but better just to have a listen yourself. Let them challenge, inspire, irk, and move you. Don't leave them on their own, talk about them with people, connect them with your faith, your foundation, other writings. It's good for us.
1. Revisionist History: Carlos Doesn't Remember (but really episodes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9 are all fantastic and thought-provoking). What happens to the poor, smart kid in America?
2. The Liturgists: LGBTQ: Some stories about LGBTQ people and their experience growing up, coming out, being in the church and/or Christian families. Challenged me to ask more for stories of my peers and friends than to establish my values and stop there.
3. On Being: Alice Parker--Singing Is The Most Companionable of Arts: I finished my Sunday morning run with Alice with no excuse not to have some joy about me and no excuse not to sing something. "There is nothing on earth that has not its tone. Even the air invisible sings when smitten with a staff." - Martin Luther
4. This American Life: The Problem We All Live With: Why won't we do the only thing that has actually worked to level the education gap?
5. The Liturgists: Woman: If just for the poem at 32:30. Put worth the listen the whole way through.
Others:
Radiolab: Alpha Gal, The Girl Who Doesn't Exist, The Buried Bodies Case
Inefficiency Podcast: Jonnie Mitchell episode is probably still my favorite.
Crimetown: Politics and organized crime get married in Providence, RI. Fascinating.
John Piper: For a solid helping of firm truth in your life.
TED Radio Hour: How Things Spread, What We Fear, Why We Lie
Cheers,
AJ
