This is very easy-to-digest format for me – I have almost a 1 hour commute each way to work, so it’s a great way to pass that time. Some of what I listen to are in-depth interviews. I mentioned a while back a great example: the Axe Files, with David Axelrod – he interviews political figures from both sides of the aisle, as well as other cultural figures. I also just started listening to Al Jazeera’s The Listening Post, which examines the world media. (Not native to the podcast platform, but usefully found there.)

There are three pods I rabidly look forward to when they pop into my phone because, let’s face, it, pop culture junkie for always. NYT’s Still Processing; The Room Where It’s Happening (Hamilton!!!); and RuPaul: What’s the Tee?

Finally, a couple assorted items: 10% Happier, for its focus on meditation; and This American Life, for storytelling.

So action? Yes, action.
