Working Hard or Hardly Working? Playlist Roundup

A discussion of the November podcast playlist on WORKING HARD OR HARDLY WORKING? We also hear thoughts from some of our PBC members and share a few podcast recommendations.

This is what they talked about:

Working Hard or Hardly Working? podcast playlist
Erik’s podcast recommendation: The Enthusiast, which features short episodes that go deep into someone’s hobby
Sara’s podcast recommendations:
- The Canary from The Washington Post: a seven-part series about two women who decided to end the silence and talk about their sexual assault
- Dear Young Rocker: an audio memoir about a young girl and her journey in rock music
Adela’s podcast recommendation: Kind World from WBUR
PBC Facebook Group community recommendations for most underrated/underappreciated podcasts
- An Arm and a Leg: “About the cost of healthcare in the US. It covers insight into billing, hospital policy, drug prices, insurance and medical ‘life hacks.’ There are two seasons, which I would recommend catching up on but each episode is a stand alone topic.”
- Sick Boy – “3 chaps with chronic illness….sounds depressing but actually it’s more a carpe diem vibe”
- Radio Rental: “Both seasons. Just delightfully creepy true stories. Not crime really. Just interesting.”
- BirdNote Presents: Grouse: “It’s about the sage grouse and its declining population out west, and touches on the environment, rural life, biology, etc. Super well done imo!”
December theme for Podcast Brunch Club playlist: TALKING ‘BOUT MY GENERATION
