Podcast Review: Archetypes
This podcast is designed to feel like a lazy river ride. It has a direction, it’s just not necessarily in a big rush to get you there. Relax, and take the time to just listen.
Series Highlight: The Katrina Episodes from Disasterous History
This is a great example of one of those podcasts everyone should give a chance because they tend to be some of the best podcasts full of passion and heart. Give Disastrous History a try, even if it’s not the Katrina episodes. You’ll see what I mean.
Episode Highlight: Human Rights Be Damned, from Immigrantly
Even without a profound understanding of what’s happening: It is an easy episode to follow, but the big ideas make it a podcast you have to focus on.
Series Review: Abortion: The Body Politic
This is not just a spectacularly produced podcast in tone and quality - but each episode flows with grace and an especially committed passion.
Podcast Review: Appodlachia
This podcast needs to exist for those who live there, as well as for those outside of it. It can cross boundaries we’ve let ourselves build.
Episode Highlight: Ireland's Shame: The Death of Sativa Halappanaver
We are led through the tragedy with kindness and care, yet there is an obvious underpinning of rage. Not only was this enraging for the immigrant community, but also for Ireland as a nation.
Podcast Review: The Irish Music Stories Podcast
The episodes are underscored beautifully, melodies are sung right next to being played, and overall this is a pleasant podcast to listen to.
Podcast Review: The Irish Mythology Podcast
I never feel off-put when Marcas and Stephanie are presenting their episodes. They are gentle, and entertaining with their presentations - between the twisting storylines and the language barrier, these two hosts pull off a feat.
Podcast Review: The Blindboy Podcast
The Blindboy Podcast is a work of art, created from a place of curiosity and joy that I don’t see often reflected in the world. I am honestly a little mad that this isn’t my own podcast- but I do know that then it wouldn’t be The Blindboy Podcast.
Podcast Review: The Black and Irish Podcast
There is confidence and a love for their topics of conversation- even with the discomfort in some of the realities of being an “other” in an established society.
