Baby-Sitters Club Club's Smarter Dumber
We're Jack and Tanner from the Baby-Sitters Club Club, a podcast in which we discuss the classic novels in the great Sitters' Cycle by Ann Matthews Martin in order. Jack is an insufferably pedantic English major who insists on referring to these books as "texts" and finding literary references in them, while Tanner is a tin-foil-hat-wearing conspiracy theorist who is certain that if you scratch the surface, you'll find that these books are about magical bees. All of the awesome podcasts in this playlist are big influences on how we see the world, and we hope you like them as...

Finding solace in artists' journeys
Stories about making creative work and living a creative life are like eating a nourishing meal for me, especially when the artists let their guard down and go deep. These are some of the podcast episodes I keep coming back to, to make me feel inspired, connected, or when I’m in a hole that I need help digging myself out of. I make a serialized documentary podcast called Not By Accident, about choosing to become a single mother and coping with being one. My background is in film making, teaching and administrating.

Memento Mori’s Podcast Block Party
Hello there, I’m D.S. Moss, host and producer of the death podcast, The Adventures of Memento Mori (www.remembertodie.com). I live in Brooklyn, NYC, and so do the hosts of these podcasts I’ve selected. Now, hosting a podcast and living in Brooklyn is about as common as a man bun, but…these folks are all in my hood. In fact, two of them even live on my street. I love the work my neighbors do and I hope you do too.

Lions in the suburbs and 4 other must-hear podcast getaways
Ready to escape the daily commute? Get away to a suburb in Australia with lions on the loose, or a variety show broadcast from a ballroom at the top of the Eiffel Tower. These podcasts will still get you back in time for work — and you’ll feel grateful your job doesn’t involve flesh-eating beetles, haunted letters, or John Hodgman’s teen insecurities. Written by Charley Locke for Wired.

Radio pieces that tell their own story
Even though I host a couple shows, I really try to get out of the way and just help nudge the conversation along. These are some stories that take that to its extreme and eliminate the host altogether. What a relief. My colleagues at 30 for 30 helped me compile this list, which includes some stories I hadn’t heard before either. Thanks to them. Jody is the host of the FiveThirtyEight politics podcast. His next venture is a series of sports-related audio docs under the “30 for 30” umbrella, coming spring 2017. Before ESPN, he was at WNYC’s Brian Lehrer Show, did reporting for the...

Maeve Higgins's Learn & Laugh
Learning and laughing are my two favorite activities and these shows make me do both, sometimes at the same time, which is the dream, right? Comedian Maeve Higgins is the host of Maeve in America, a podcast on changing the conversation around immigration through funny, beautiful and sometimes maddening immigration stories, as told by the people who’ve lived them.
