How To Turn Your Biggest Struggle Into A Source Of Inspiration

March 8, 2021

Earwolf

Say what you will about 2020 — and there’s a lot to say — but it was a strong year for podcasts.

Do you like deep dives into history? What about political scandals? Or would you just rather listen to celebrities — like Bill Gates and Rashida Jones — chitchat with one another? Either way, there’s a 2020 podcast for you. Some are stand-alone, like the Wind of Change or the Rabbit Hole, while others are updates to established podcasts, like Slow Burn season four. All are excellent. 

Below are our picks for those looking for something new to binge. 

The Rabbit Hole

merlin-171620523-52d9c32c-d2c8-496b-bad5-95cd2732f04c-superjumbo
New York Times

As far as podcasts go, The New York Times is most known for The Daily. But it also produces several podcast series, including the excellent Rabbit Hole. Launched in April, it begins as a case study in how YouTube algorithms polarize people around extreme politics on both the right and the left. But it ends up going deeper, speaking to the broad schism pervading broader online discourse.

Blind Spot: The Road to 9/11

blindspot-history-16x9.pngblindspot-history-16x9.png
WNYC/History

The two hijacked planes that took down the Twin Towers didn’t emerge out of nowhere; they were the consequence of conflict that had been going on for over 10 years before Sept. 11, 2001. This six-part podcast tells the story of that preceding 10 years. Including interviews with FBI agents, people who knew the 9/11 terrorists, journalists and more, this is a heavy but worthwhile podcast series from History and WNYC.

Wind of Change

436e66b560e78ba341ba9c0dc7698bf429-wind-of-change-podcast-2x-rsocial-w600436e66b560e78ba341ba9c0dc7698bf429-wind-of-change-podcast-2x-rsocial-w600
Pineapple Studios

Wind of Change centers on a conspiracy theory: Did the CIA write Wind of Change, a song by German band The Scorpions? A song so powerful it helped bring down the Berlin Wall? 

The conspiracy theory itself sounds hokey, but the journey that follows isn’t. This is a deep dive into the techniques agencies like the CIA use, and — ultimately — a story about the power of music to elicit change.

Slow Burn

Slate

Do people living through insane times realize just how insane that time is? That’s the vague theme of Slow Burn, a podcast from Slate. The first season looks at the presidency of Richard Nixon and the reaction of politicians, the media and the public to Watergate. Subsequent seasons look at President Bill Clinton’s impeachment, and slain rappers Biggie Smalls and Tupac. This year’s season focuses on KKK leader David Duke and his rise to prominence.

In Bed with Megan and Nick

Earwolf

And now, something lighter for your 2020.

Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally are known for playing the tempestuously divorced husband-and-wife combo of Ron Swanson and Tammy in Parks and Recreation. They’re also actually husband and wife in real life, and this year started a podcast. They’re joined — in bed — by the likes of Alec Baldwin, Rob Lowe, Aubrey Plaza and more. If you’re after something breezy to chill out to, this is a great place to start.

Making Space: The Female Frontier

CNET

Hey! CNET does podcasts too! 

From the early days of the space race to the greatest scientific breakthroughs of our generation, women have always played a vital role in the history of space discovery. Sometimes front and center, more often than not invisible, these women helped build our understanding of space from the ground up.

The women who fought to carve out a place at NASA, the scientists who were overlooked by the establishment all the way up to the trailblazers leading the charge in the next age of discovery — we hear from six women, over six episodes, who represent six important eras in space discovery.

Wondery

At one point, WeWork was valued at $47 billion. A year and a failed IPO later and the workspace company is reportedly worth about 11% of that. This six-part series examines the rise and fall of WeWork, and the pitfalls of the dynamic/chaotic world of tech startups.

Fiasco: Bush v. Gore

5pm34gz5pm34gz
Luminary

In the event that you’re not sick of hearing about contested elections, Luminary has a great podcast on the 2000 race between George W. Bush and Al Gore. Fiasco is a six-episode series that focuses on the famously contested result — it came down to Bush’s 537 vote lead in Florida — and it’s hosted by Leon Neyfakh, of Slow Burn fame.

Crossfire

Telegraph

With the chaotic pace of 2020, the accusations that President Donald Trump colluded with Russia to bolster his 2016 presidential campaign seem like decades ago. But the scandal that triggered a special council probe and, eventually, an impeachment, is one worth revisiting in depth — and that’s what the Telegraph’s six-piece Crossfire series does.

Nice White Parents

New York Times/Serial

Nice White Parents is a five-part series on the US’ education system, brought to you by the New York Times and Serial-creator This American Life. It examines the different educational opportunities given to minorities and focuses on the unintended consequences of a powerful bloc: Nice White Parents.

Phoebe Reads a Mystery

phoebe-and-lauren-2.pngphoebe-and-lauren-2.png

For those of us who have always had classic mystery books on the to-read list. In each episode of Phoebe Reads a Mystery, Criminal host Phoebe Judge reads a chapter from a mystery book. It started in March with The Mysterious Affair at Styles, Agatha Christie’s first published novel, and has since gone through some big titles, including two Sherlock Holmes books.

Fake Doctors, Real Friends

scrubesscrubes
iHeart Radio

If you’ve been meaning to rewatch Scrubs, this podcast gives you an extra reason. Zach Braff and Donald Faison, who play the best-bud duo of JD and Turk on the show, host Fake Doctors, Real Friends. Each episode of the podcast goes over an episode of the show — in chronological order, thankfully. Perfect if you wistfully remember the 2001-10 medical comedy.

And speaking of real-life best friends doing a watch-along podcast for a show they formerly starred in, Jenna Fischer (Pam) and Angela Kinsey (Angela) join forces for Office Ladies. Most episodes are around 60 minutes long, and the two go over their memories and fun details from shooting The Office. They also occasionally bring special guests in, like John Krasinski and Greg Daniels, who adapted the show from its UK original.

Oh, Hello: The P’dcast

Gil Faizon, George St. Geegland

You may be familiar with George St. Geegland and Gil Faizon, the aging alter egos of comedians John Mulaney and Nick Kroll. They’ve conquered Broadway and now they’re taking on podcasts. Specifically, a Serial-esque run about the death of Princess Diana — until the show nearly tears their decades-long friendship apart. It’s silly, delightful and full of tuna.

We need to talk about the British Empire

Audible

The history of the British Empire and its legacy is complex. It’s also a history that many people don’t really learn about — and if they do, they rarely learn about it properly. Enter We Need To Talk About The British Empire, a six-part Audible podcast that explore the lasting impact of the Empire through the personal stories of those who lived through it. To use a cliche, it’s history come to life in a truly fascinating way.

Floodlines

The Atlantic

When we think about Hurricane Katrina, we think about New Orleans being brought to its knees by powerful floods. But did it need to be that way? This eight-episode series from The Atlantic looks at the government’s response to the crisis and how much of the chaos could have been avoided.

Bill Gates and Rashida Jones Ask Big Questions

podcast-intro-social-share-1200x628-02podcast-intro-social-share-1200x628-02

A strange duo for a strange time: Bill Gates, of Microsoft fame, is teaming up with Rashida Jones, of Parks and Recreation fame, for a podcast. Adding it to this list is a little premature, since there are only two episodes so far, asking questions about inequality and misinformation. But, come on. It’s Bill Gates and Rashida Jones. The first episode features Anthony Fauci, and the second tackles inequality. So yeah, big questions.

Three Uncanny Four/HyperObject Industries

Struggling with quarantine? Feeling a bit alone? Emily and Kumail are here with their guide to surviving the pandemic. They’re both writers who work from home and just kind of like staying in anyway. They give you entertainment recommendations and advice on how to avoid cabin fever. But, perhaps best of all, it’s just a really nice distraction from the world featuring two people you would really want to be friends with.
