I'm a white guy in his 50s so I listen to a lot of podcasts. [wait, don't block me.] Here are a few specific podcast episodes that I come back to again and again; they offer us beauty. First, one of Nate DiMeo's best, from 2017:

I love jiujitsu though I am long past my expiry date. This from the NYTM is great, and about Craig Jones, my hero:

hat tip to @mattlevineofficial.bsky.social : you have got to read this amazing story about a dude using snails farms for tax evasion in London office buildings. There is a picture of the snail-tax-man, and he is DELIGHTED

The snail farmer of London, his mafia friends, and a £20m vendetta against the taxman
Terry Ball runs elaborate mollusc-based tax avoidance schemes that are costing London councils millions of pounds. Yet when London Centric tracks him down, an even stranger story emerges.

I just watched the #onechampionship fight between Tye Ruotolo and Dante Leon. The fight was unsurprising but Dante had a dude in his corner with amazing hockey flow. #canada

Just watched the @onefc.bsky.social fight between Rodrigues and McManamon and I have NEVER seen a champion as utterly unbothered by her challenger. I don’t think Rodrigues ever opened her mouth to breathe until round 4. Domination.

I vote. I contribute to progressive legislators. I volunteer.

But I am turning off NPR and unfollowing my bsky commentators who otherwise do so much good work.

I need to survive this four years however I can.

I love sports, and I love sports podcasts. But this whole "will Mike Tomlin be traded/be fired" is one of the weirdest things in media. Just got a big extension, team doesn't fire coaches, he doesn't lose, has a no-trade clause, etc.

People are just desperate for content.
