For all of you Audio Pros and radio stars out there, diving into the world of podcasts can be a bit overwhelming. However, it's a fantastic world to move into, so I would like to provide you with a list of 5 of the most popular and most listened to podcasts out there today.
1.) Revisionist History, by Malcom Gladwell- Each week, Gladwell goes back in time, and re-interprets a person, event, or an idea, much like he did with his book, "David and Goliath." Believing that sometimes past events, ideas, and people deserve a second chance, this podcasts goes over what might have been overlooked, misinterpreted, or misunderstood.
2.) More Perfect, by Radio Lab - Gives an interesting look inside the US Supreme court, and how cases calculated in the world of the Supreme Court have a great affect on our lives, far away from the bench.
3.) Invisibilla, by NPR- Looks into the invisible forces that govern human behaviors such as ideas, beliefs, and emotions by merging together narrative storytelling and scientific research.
4.) This American Life, by Ira Glass and WBEZ- As the most popular podcast in the US, This American Life simply explores the diverse lives of various Americans through stories of their lives.
5.) The TED Hour- Based on talks given by inspiring speakers, The TED Hour visits new ways of thinking, creativity, fresh minds, and astonishing inventions. Each show is centered around a theme, whilst it be happiness, body language, or crowd-sourcing innovation.
