If you like story telling try The Moth podcast https://themoth.org/ it's literally an organization that celebrates the craft of telling stories. Or you might try Snapped or their spookier spinoff that use to only be available seasonally, Spooked. All just people telling stories.

1980s everything is better, except maybe the hair, lol … Would have killed for a gig in a record shop…. As for podcasts, most of them are trash with little entertainment value, but if you are looking for a deep dive on specific subjects there are some good ones providing nuance you just can’t get anywhere else. Wish I would have discovered them back in the day … enjoyed the article very much!

I loved reading this Collette. I am a boomer too.

It is kind of like the whole recycling thing.

I guess recycling is really what life is. Soon it will be a cool thing to live in a shack with out electricity and running water so they can save the planet. haha

I have not listened to too many podcasts.

I have xm radio (it is just okay, I always try to cancel it and they give me some crazy cheap price and so I take another year) I mainly listen to classical music and a bit of megyn kelly when I have the chance,. Over the years I used to spend a lot of time in my car.

That saying still rings, the more things change, the more they stay the same" haha well sort of

I have xm as well. I have never tried to cancel, I like not having to listen to idiotic radio commercials. How many mens ailments are there? On xm I mainly listen Y2 Country. I think megan kelly might be a pod cast?

You’re right, the more things change, the more they stay the same is so true, people just don’t seem to realize!

I like XM too. Since I am not driving around over hill and dale with mom and dad anymore (both in Heaven now) I listen on my laptop in my fabric factory (sewing room)

Love that old peach crate. My dad would talk about listening to The Shadow. Thanks for the link, now I can check it out. I know what you mean about everyone being a podcaster. Sometimes we will listen to one on long car rides.
