Whether I&#8217;m online or off, I&#8217;m usually thinking of lists. To do lists, reading lists, library lists, &#8220;crap to fix in my house&#8221; lists. Errand lists are a particular favorite because it&#8217;s pretty simple to cross all the things off and then, woohoo, you&#8217;ve done something! Today I got fed up with my back hallway which was where I had the &#8220;Cables to be filed&#8221; basket which was turning into a shamehole. So, I turned on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/programmes\/p07npk7p\">a podcast I was listening to<\/a> and just started untangling, filing, tossing and recycling. By the end of it, I&#8217;d learned more about cryptocurrency MLM scams and also gotten the back hall deshameified.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, that was my list! I used to listen to one podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nosuchthingasafish.com\/\">No Such Thing As A Fish<\/a>. The episodes come out weekly. This is usually enough when I&#8217;m not traveling much but with holidaytime imminent, I could use some more. Some that I have liked are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/99percentinvisible.org\/\">99% Invisible<\/a> &#8211; I mostly like this but Roman Mars is always bringing other people on to do their podcasts and I don&#8217;t like them as much. This is good if I pick and choose.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bearbrookpodcast.com\/\">Bear Brook Podcast<\/a> &#8211; sort of a complete set of how a weird crime was solved, right next door (in New Hampshire). Loved it but it&#8217;s now over.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beforeyourtime.org\/\">Before Your Time<\/a> &#8211; great little podcast about Vermont history but it doesn&#8217;t come out that often.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/podcast.metafilter.com\/\">MetaFilter podcast<\/a> &#8211; I am both on this and listen to it<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A few I haven&#8217;t liked are the Emily Post podcast <a href=\"https:\/\/emilypost.com\/awesome-etiquette-podcast\/\">Awesome Etiquette<\/a>, Marc Maron&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wtfpod.com\/\">WTF<\/a> (I did, but now I don&#8217;t) and pretty much anything by VPR\/NPR (they are fine, I don&#8217;t like their podcasts). I don&#8217;t like anything with sketches, dramatizations, or people doing bits. I don&#8217;t mind interviews but I especially like to learn something. I like esoteric and hidden histories. I&#8217;m fussy about sound quality since I am often listening in the car. I like people who do their own research and prefer &#8220;deep dives&#8221; to people skimming other people&#8217;s blog posts. I don&#8217;t mind ads. I do not like TED talks. I do not want to listen to men talk about technology.<\/p>\n<p>A few friends have suggested <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outsideonline.com\/podcasts\">Outside Online<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/gimletmedia.com\/shows\/heavyweight\">Heavy Weight<\/a> and I will try those. Do you have other suggestions for me?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jessamyn.com\/journal\/2019\/12\/the-list-i-almost-made\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Permalink to the list I almost made\"><p>As I was driving back from Kate&#8217;s house after a three-day Thanksgiving trip (as opposed to a nine-day one which is my usual MO) I was thinking of a list I&#8217;d put here.
