Chapter Choice: May 2020
It’s CHAPTER CHOICE month! So, we didn’t put together a typical thematic podcast listening list together this month. Rather, our 78 chapters all over the world will choose their own adventure. Here are some ideas:
- a non-thematic list of local members’ favorite episodes
- a deep dive into one podcast (maybe an audio drama or other serialized podcast?)
- dig into the archives of past PBC listening lists
BUT….there’s a back-up plan if you need it. If you would rather have the heavy lifting done for you, here is a non-thematic list of favorite-ever episodes from some of our chapter leaders.
PBC Chapter Leader Favorite Episodes
Here’s a short list of favorite episodes from some of our chapter leaders from around the world.

Just an idea, Since we have so many members and most of us have our favorites. It might be cool to have a goog spreadsheet where we could all add our fav as well. I do not know how many ppl are in each chapter, it t could be paged by chapter if some are big or just one long doc. Maybe the chapter lead creates a page( or anyone in the group, (I’m not assigning jobs! Anyone could help, of course, I would too). Then just post an option if people want to contribute or not.
I have discovered so many great podcasts through this group. I have also not touched upon some of my favorites. It could be interesting as well. I just created a listened to a list from another group from another country. This is what sparked the idea. I also speak often of one episode of a cast that my bf and myself listen too and we both laughed like fools. I would assume most members have something similar it could be good to share.
Love this idea! I like the idea of one long google spreadsheet so it can be sorted by member/genre/etc.
