I listen to a lot of podcasts. Like, really, really a lot of podcasts. It’s a bit obscene. Some of the podcasts (a lot of the podcasts) I listen to are political podcasts, but I also listen to true crime podcasts, history podcasts, and comedy pods. Each month, I’m going to start sharing with you a few podcast episodes you shouldn’t miss, even if you aren’t a regular podcast listener.
Here we go.
