Question of the Week: Do you have a favorite podcast series?

  • 1.  Question of the Week: Do you have a favorite podcast series?

    Posted 07-11-2022 08:06:00 AM

    Summer road trip season feels like a good time to crowdsource some podcast recommendations from this community. Do you have a favorite series (both professional and fun topics welcome)?


    Some podcast series that have been mentioned in this community before include:

    The invention of podcasts has quite literally made any situation never-boring - stuck in traffic, waiting in a long line, need to block out noise, need to feel connected/inspired/fill-in-the-blank? A podcast is the answer (for me).  :-)

    Top work-related podcast: Lecture Breakers, hosted by Dr. Barbi Honeycutt. It's a place where university-level educators come together to share innovative strategies to energize and engage your learners (without a ton of work/redesign). I am not a university professor, but I as an eLearning developer and consultant in faculty development, I gain valuable tools from Dr. Honeycutt and her guests.

    Top personal podcast: The Moth. Who doesn't love a great story?

    A personal favorite podcast that is also professional (sort of) is Sawbones: A Marital Tour of Misguided Medicine. A medical doctor tells her comedian husband about all the (often horrifying) ways humans have attempted to cure ourselves of injury or disease through history. It really makes you feel grateful for modern medical practices!

    Hi Everyone,

    Here is one of my favorites - Community Possibilities.   

    Dr. Ann W. Price is a Community Psychologist and her guests are people who are doing work to make a difference, including addressing health inequities. See her first interview with Dr. Kyrah Brown as an example. There are also speakers on collaboration and coalitions, racial and social justice, and many other topics.

    I like the idea of podcasts but don't usually get around to actually listening to them-maybe attention span issues? That said, I had a few quotations from On Being with Krista Tippett included in my wedding ceremony, and I've enjoyed some content from Lingthusiasm and Digging Deep with Robert Plant.

    Would also add a recommendation for How Stuff Works.

    Have you listened to Stuff You Should Know? Equally awesome, and similar to How Stuff Works.

    What a great topic! Some wonderful recommendations here (and some I am not familiar with!).

    As someone with a public health background, I recommend the following (not comprehensive by any means)

    NYU Global Health, 5% and Falling

    Bloomberg American Health Initiative, The American Health Podcast

    University of Iowa student podcast, From the Front

    Public Health United, Podcasts

    Coming in late to this conversation but better late than never, right? 

    My podcast selection is well, a bit unique I guess. 
    I do listen to a lot of the podcasts listed by others including How Stuff Works (which is not only informative, but funny a well). Here are some of my favorites:


    I'm one of those people who listen to podcasts while riding my bike for miles and miles :-)
