Dolly Parton’s America with Jad Abumrad

In this intensely divided moment, one of the few things everyone still seems to agree on is Dolly Parton—but why? That simple question leads to a deeply personal, historical, and musical rethinking of one of America's great icons. Join us for a 9-episode journey into the Dollyverse.Hosted by Jad Abumrad, creator of Radiolab and More Perfect.

For me, podcasts have become my version of reading People magazine. Or something like that. I listen usually to fall asleep, so I almost never hear the whole of any episode. Some podcasts I listen to: Conan O’Brien needs a friend; armchair expert with Dax Shepherd; Oprah super soul conversations. I also listened to Dirty John, which I thought was good.

I have been enjoying Dolly Parton's America on my walks. Someone on this forum recommended it several months ago. Walking and listening to podcasts go hand in hand. I find that I can walk longer distances.while listening. I plan to follow up on your suggestions.

Thanks all for the great suggestions! Like happy2b, I definitely think it's easier to walk longer distances while listening, and often while lol-ing.

I like The Lonely Palette for art history:

And India Hicks chatting with her mother, Lady Pamela Mountbatten, about the latter's remarkable life as the daughter of the last viceroy of India, lady in waiting to he Queen and wife of famed ID David Hicks. Lady P is TDF funny.

The Anthropocene Reviewed is excellent. Kind of a silly premise, but each episode consists of two thoughtful essays by writer John Green.

Those are my mainstays. There are also a number of BBC podcasts that I enjoy

@Zalco/bring back Sophie!, I can’t wait to hear the podcasts of Lady Pamela. I’ve heard a bit of her on India Hicks’ IG account. Fascinating and often hilarious!

Love podcasts. I was listening to one called Passenger List tonight and Ear Hustle earlier. All my favorites are listed above, especially The Moth. I also,like Over The Road about long haul truckers (really) and The Dropout.

My current favorite is Family Secrets. The episode I'm listening to today is one of my favorites. Adam Carolla talks about his fascinating family.

I see most of my faves already listed, but I don't see The Memory Palace or On The Media. I enjoy Marketplace and Planet Money as well. I often learn about new podcasts when they're promoted on the ones I already subscribe to.

And if you missed it, S-Town is really, really fascinating.

ded, I loved Passenger List, but I’ve heard there are no plans for a season 2, after that cliffhanger ending. Waaah!

Over the Road was promoted on 99% Invisible, and they played the first episode. We don't often think about truckers, but we certainly rely on them!

Did anybody mention Heavyweight yet? That's another I really enjoyed...

No podcasts for me. I'm not sure where you walk, but I've always felt it good to be able to be aware of your surroundings (including being able to hear). I'm in a rural area and either walk near my home, or there is a large track around a local church, but I want to hear if someone comes up behind me, including dogs.

I walk along several creek trails in my city and in various residential neighborhoods. I'm using standard issue wired EarPods that came with my devices. They aren't noise-cancelling and I can hear sounds around me. It's usually pretty quiet where I walk but sometimes traffic or leaf-blower noise intrudes and I mute my podcast until I pass the noise source. I'm a small women in my 70s. It's my job to be aware of my surroundings. I'm more concerned about tripping over uneven sidewalk and having a life-altering injury.

Bunny that is good to know about your earpods! I took a self defense class years ago and that is something that has stuck with me, always be aware of your surroundings, specifically people around you. I'm a music with exercise kind of gal, but not when I walk. I enjoy the outside.

Short Wave

My earbuds certainly aren't noise canceling. In fact when I'm walking on the sidewalk I have to pause what I'm listening to when noisy vehicles drive by because I can't hear my podcast well enough.

I love so many! Disney podcasts are my comfort listening-disunplugged, Mousetalgia, Connecting with Walt.

Then a fabulous-sadly not kid appropriate-dungeons and dragons podcast called the Adventure Zone. Three brothers and their dad play D&D together. They are very talented and hilarious.

From above, I love Reply All and the Moth.

I spend huge amounts of time listening. I drive a lot for work meetings, then I listen when walking and often when cooking. I always just listen with only one earbud in so can hear everything around me.
