So much of the history that we’re taught focuses on the deeds of the great and powerful. We want to turn this upside down, and look at Australian history from the perspective of workers striking for their rights, Aboriginal people campaigning for justice and self-determination, the unemployed uniting to demand housing and food, people of colour, women and LGBTQ people struggling for liberation, and ordinary people across Australia, in all their diversity, fighting together for something better.These moments show us that our history is more than just a small group of politicians and powerful people making all the decisions. They show us that time and time again, working people across Australia have stood up and made history themselves.https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/peoples-history-of-australia/id1499241310Black Magic Woman, https://open.spotify.com/show/5h2qtieWI35T0H2ZkkeSDLHosted by Mundanara Bayles who was born and raised in Redfern (Sydney) Australia and currently lives in Queensland.

True crime lovers of the world unite, it's CRIME TIME on Castology this week. It's conmen, liars, and shysters with Zane's recommendation Pretend Radio. Liz took a break from murder (listening to it, not doing it) to recommend The Score: The Bank Robber Diaries. And then Nick does a deep dive into some pretty sobering systemic breakdowns with Dig. Then, it's review time for last week's recommendations.Liz Recommends - The Score: The Bank Robber Diarieshttps://play.acast.com/s/thescore"14 months. 30 Banks. An all-access pass into the mind of one of Southern California’s most prolific bank robbers.On the show, Joe Loya - the so-called “Beirut Bandit” - reveals his story of transformation from abusive childhood to prolific bank robber, violent convict, ex-con, writer and ultimately, a reconciled son.Produced by Peabody-Award winning podcaster Ben Adair (The Sterling Affairs, Dr. Death, Reveal) at Western Sound in partnership with Acast Studios."This podcast runs through the life cycle of a bank robber, from how he got into robbing banks, how it escalated, how he got caught, how he fared in prison… has he really reformed?For both: Start at the very beginning.https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-score-bank-robber-diaries/id1483260185Nick Recommends - DigA woman told Louisville police she was raped in January 2018. She expected them to quickly try to arrest the suspect. But an officer on the scene that night didn't seem to believe her. The detectives weren't convinced that a crime occurred. And a prosecutor rejected the case well before an arrest was even under consideration. In the first season of Dig, a new podcast from the Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting, we bring you the results of a yearlong look at how rape cases are investigated in Louisville. What we've learned: here, the police defer to prosecutors on rape cases — and prosecutors reject the vast majority of cases presented to them. Due to this unusual relationship, most people accused of rape here will never face consequences. Most won't be arrested or convicted. And the case will be closed anyway.For both: From the start!https://www.npr.org/podcasts/782223781/digZane Recommends - Pretend Radiohttp://pretendradio.org/No blood and gore here!

Hello and welcome back to Castology, your weekly dose of podcast goodness. Or badness in this instance, with Liz recommending the dark must-listen podcast Chasing Cosby. You can probably guess what it's about. Then Zane offers up a one-episode-only podcast on exactly what the title says it's about: QueerMuslimSexWorker. And finally Nick gets his MI5 on with a bit of I Spy, the podcast that chats all things in the world of international espionage. Then it's review time, baby!Liz Recommends - Chasing Cosbyhttps://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2020-01-07/new-podcast-chasing-cosby-chronicles-the-rise-and-fall-of-bill-cosbyGuys, this one gets dark, so brace yourself. But also it's super important so you have to listen."For nearly half a century, Bill Cosby brought warmth and laughter into hearts across the country, cementing his image as “America’s Dad.” But he also led a dark, secret life preying on women. The comedian carefully coaxed each one into feeling safe and cared for, then left them to pick up the pieces of their lives. It all started with Andrea Constand. She carried the burden of being the only one of the 60-plus accusers whose case could be tried in a court of law. Now, she's telling her side of the story, along with firsthand accounts from more than a dozen survivors, jurors and prosecutors. From the Los Angeles Times, and hosted by investigative reporter Nicki Weisensee Egan, "Chasing Cosby" is the definitive take of the rise and fall of Bill Cosby. New episodes released every Tuesday."For both: It's a serial so start at the start. Also note: ep 3 is ROUGH but important listening.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chasing-cosby/id1493558501Nick Recommends - I SpySpies don’t talk—it’s the cardinal rule of the business. But here at Foreign Policy, we get them to open up. On I Spy, we hear from the operations people: the spies who steal secrets, who kill adversaries, who turn agents into double agents. Each episode features one spy telling the story of one operation.For both: any of em!https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/i-spy/id1482310665Zane Recommends - QueerMuslimSexWorkerhttps://audioboom.com/posts/5877593-queer-muslim-sex-workerAn odd one this week, Zane has brought the unique podcast Queer Musilim Sex Worker. Now, it is not the content that is odd (it is very compelling), but the format - it is a single-episode documentary podcast. The unashamedly intersectional podcast telling the incredible story of Mariam, a sex worker who juggles being Muslim, queer and non-binary.For Both: There is only one episodehttps://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/queer-muslim-sex-worker/id1227703932?i=1000385032411Subscribe to us on ITUNES, STITCHER, SPOTIFY, RADIOPUBLIC or your podcatcher of choice.Find us on FACEBOOK, TWITTER or INSTAGRAM.

Oh hi there. Castology this week is coming at you with lots of angry-making podcasts. Nick looks at the companies taking over the world (specifically Amazon this week) and what that will cost us with Land of the Giants. Liz submits two podcasts on the same topic for you to compare and contrast. The topic: disgraced billionaire Jeffrey Epstein. The podcasts: The Mysterious Mr Epstein and Broken.

But for most of his life, he was a mystery to the public, and to many of the people who knew him. In this six part series, we peel back the layers of Epstein’s life to detail his financial and sexual crimes, and his network of enablers, with original reporting and interviews. From humble beginnings, Epstein came to amass significant wealth which he used to buy sex, social status, silence, even justice —until money wasn’t enough. From Wondery (“Dirty John”, “The Shrink Next Door”), and hosted by Lindsay Graham (“American Scandal”)."Broken: Jeffrey Epstein is a Three Uncanny Four production, with a team that includes Adam McKay, the Oscar-winning filmmaker behind The Big Short and Vice. "Jeffrey Epstein described himself as “radioactive”, and then he died in prison. But right before that, he was a friend and confidant of many of America’s most powerful politicians, billionaires, and entertainers, some of whom apparently shared a common interest: trafficking underage girls. In "BROKEN: JEFFREY EPSTEIN" host Ariel Levy (The New Yorker) and Special Correspondent and Executive Producer Julie K. Brown (The Miami Herald) tell the full story of Epstein, his accomplices, and the broken systems that enabled his crimes."For both: I would suggest starting with Mysterious Mr Epstein and then going to Broken because the details in Broken matter more when you know the man behind them.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-mysterious-mr-epstein/id1480055524https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/broken-jeffrey-epstein/id1478460758Nick Recommends - Land of the GiantsFacebook.

Stone Clearing with Richard Herring is the world's first podcast dedicated to the ancient art of Stone Clearing (removing stones from a field and using them for better purpose) which will serve as an introduction to the industry for the newcomer, but hopefully provide tips for the many other stone clearers around the world, as well of being of interest to people who like to hear poor quality audios of an unfit man walking round a field, moving stones and talking to himself, whilst trying to pretend to other dog walkers that he isn't doing that. Along the way we will learn much about life, death, the futility of existence and how sometimes when you attempt the impossible you can succeed. Though most times you won't. RIchard Herring is a comedian, writer, and blogger when he is not clearing stones. Remember this effort is a secret.

Look it was only a matter of time before Nick brought another sports podcast. He swears it's more about racism but we will have to listen to 30 For 30: The Sterling Affair to find out. Liz has found a podcast by the people who created the Castology-fave Carrier. It's called Blackout, its apocalyptic and it stars Rami Malek. Then Zane gets some "friends of Dorothy" together for Best Judies, an LGBTQIA+ podcast that celebrates the people that made and continue to make up the community. Then REVIEW TIME.Liz Recommends - Blackouthttps://www.qcodemedia.com/blackoutFrom the same studio as Carrier comes Blackout starring Rami Malek. Blackout is an “apocalyptic thriller as a small-town radio DJ fighting to protect his family and community after the power grid goes down nationwide, upending modern civilization.” Blackout stars and is executive produced by Rami Malek and produced by QCode and Endeavor Audio.It has similar immersive sound design style to Carrier, staring Cynthia Errivo, a podcast that was a universal thumbs up recommend from the Castologists last year, though not quite to the same degree. It’s not as much a solo story as Carrier was so doesn’t haunt the listener as much. BUT it is an eerie post-apocalyptic look at how much we rely on electricity and phones and what would happen if they were suddenly taken away. Written and created by Scott Conroy. Directed by Shawn Christensen. Presented by Sonos.For both: start from the start as it's a serial.https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/blackout/id1447513097Nick Recommends - 30 for 30: The Sterling Affairhttps://www.espn.com.au/nba/story/_/id/27414482/when-donald-sterling-saga-rocked-nba-changed-foreverThe Sterling Affairs is a story of power and scandal in Los Angeles. When an audio recording of a racist rant by then Clippers owner Donald Sterling was leaked online in 2014, it caused an uproar that changed the NBA forever.But Sterling had been a problem for decades -- in basketball, real estate and more. Why did it take 30 years to finally hold him accountable?"The Sterling Affairs" is a five-part series from 30 for 30 Podcasts and The Undefeated, produced in collaboration with Western Sound. The series is reported and hosted by ESPN's Ramona Shelburne.For either: Start from the start!https://30for30podcasts.com/sterling/Zane Recommends - Best JudiesZane is starting the year with pride by bringing Best Judies to the table. This incredibly positive Australian podcast is based in Sydney and aims to celebrate ALL of the Best Judies in our lives. From iconic and important members of our LGBTQIA+ history, to those who are stamping their heels in the dirt today – the Best Judies podcast is about REAL gay life from the big city and the small town, right across the country. The term 'Judy' comes from as far back at WWII, used as a code to describe someone who was gay or a 'Friend of Judy' (Garland). Warmly adopted to describe our best friends, this podcast will show case those colourful, wonderful and previous people who make up the community.For Nick & Liz: Whichever one appeals, you may recognise some names on the guest list.https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/best-judies-podcast/id1466591847Subscribe to us on ITUNES, STITCHER, SPOTIFY, RADIOPUBLIC or your podcatcher of choice.Find us on FACEBOOK, TWITTER or INSTAGRAM.

It's Mental Health week at Castology, as the team recommend podcasts to do with all things self-care and psychology. (Also if you need it, this is your weekly reminder to look after yourself!) Liz recommends (possibly the longest titled podcast ever) The Savvy Psychologist's Quick And Dirty Tips For Better Mental Health; Patrick gets zen with a bit of guided meditation thanks to Meditation Oasis; and Zane goes completely left of field and recommends a fictional podcast that takes a peek into the therapy sessions of superpowered people with The Bright Sessions. Then, it's review time for last week's submissions.Liz Recommends - The Savvy Psychologist's Quick And Dirty Tips For Better Mental Healthhttps://www.quickanddirtytips.com/savvy-psychologistThis is one of Liz's favourite podcasts to recommend to friends struggling with the various issues of, you know, living in the world. Got anxiety? Dealing with stress? Wondering if negative thoughts are really that bad? Having weird dreams and wondering if they mean anything? The Savvy Psychologist aka clinical psychologist Dr Jade Wu probably has an episode for you. At only 10-15 mins per episode, this podcast is a legit easy-to-digest snack to help you snap back to reality and regain control of some aspects of your life that may have gotten messy. It's really handy beginner's guide to understanding how we work as emotional human beings. It's like mini on-the-go therapy real talk.For both: Pick a topic you struggle with or want more information on and go go go!https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/savvy-psychologists-quick-dirty-tips-for-better-mental/id803978236Pat Recommends - Meditation Oasishttps://www.meditationoasis.com/Meditation for me is one of those things that I always tell myself I'll start doing on a regular basis. A couple of times a week isn't terribly regular, is it? This podcast helps tremendously though. It's especially good if you've never meditated before or find yourself getting frustrated with your solo attempts. Mary and Richard Maddox bring 40 years of mediation teaching and practice between them, so you can trust you're in good hands. I chose this podcast over others because it seemed to me the most pure, a little bit of preamble and then straight into the mediation, often with a soothing musical accompaniment. There's 60 episodes and they range form 10 - 30 minutes. Stay healthy people, mentally healthy.Zane & Liz: Whatever you do, don't pick the wrong one.https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/meditation-oasis/id204570355Zane Recommends - The Bright Sessionshttp://www.thebrightsessions.com/On this theme week, Zane is presenting to you, The Bright Sessions. The Bright Sessions is a science fiction podcast that follows a group of therapy patients. But these are not your typical patients - each has a unique supernatural ability. The show documents their struggles and discoveries as well as the motivations of their mysterious therapist, Dr. Bright.The show is written and directed by Lauren Shippen and has concluded its main run. However, there is a sequel series planned for release exclusively on Luminary and Lauren Shippen is writing three YA novels in the universe of the show for Tor Teen. The first comes out September 24th, 2019.For Pat & Liz: Start from the beginning but it is easy to jump into.https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-bright-sessions/id1053268058?mt=2Subscribe to us on ITUNES, STITCHER, SPOTIFY, RADIOPUBLIC or your podcatcher of choice.Find us on FACEBOOK, TWITTER or INSTAGRAM.

Hi! Welcome back to Castology. So good to see you! Pull up a chair and listen to this week's mixed back of recommendations from your friendly neighbourhood Castologists. Patrick brings a bit of Neil Degrasse Tyson to the table with StartTalk Radio, Liz picks a podcast purely because Patrick will like the name and recommends crime banter series Loose Units, and Zane takes a step through the scary door with Twilight Zone/Black Mirror-esque The Veil Audio Drama. Then it's on to last week's reviews? Will there be clashes and drama? Maybe! Maybe not also. You will have to listen to find out.Liz Recommends - Loose Unitshttps://looseunitsthepodcast.libsyn.com/Paul F. Verhoven sits down with his dad John to chat all things crime in the 1980s. You see John was a cop in Sydney during the height of police corruption and boy does he have some stories. So Paul put them all into a book. BUT as the show description states: "The true crime book Loose Units, out now through Penguin Publishing (and in bookstores everywhere), had one thing it couldn't do: it couldn't fit everything. So each week, Paul and John will sit down and delve into cases too surreal, brief or contentious to fit into the book."After literally only picking this podcast because she thought resident loose unit Patrick would find the title appealing, she fell in love with it. The banter between father and son is straight up entertaining as hell and almost veers into comedy in some eps. But some are tragic. A good all rounder with lots of crime stories from someone's dad, who always seems to sound cool and funny when he calls someone a fuckwit.For both: I started from the start but each ep is a separate story so just pick the topic that appeals to you.https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/loose-units-the-podcast/id1445344726Pat Recommends - StarTalk Radiohttps://www.startalkradio.net/What's better than interrupting quality family time on father's day to write show notes? Many things, presumably, but also listening to Star Talk Radio. This podcast is hosted predominantly by Neil deGrasse Tyson, world famous astrophysicist and science communicator. This podcast has a number of formats. Interview style, answering twitter questions, and whatever the Chuck Nice episodes are. These episodes average about 50 minutes, hardly 4 hours, but we'll look the other way for Neil.For Zane & Liz: You'll figure it outhttps://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/startalk-radio/id325404506Zane Recommends - The Veil Audio Dramahttp://www.voxxstudios.com/the-veilAnother fiction podcast from Zane! again, it is a speculative fiction podcast, but this one has a very definite sense of style and execution. The Veil is a sci-fi/horror audio-drama anthology. It's being described as a mix between The Twilight Zone and Black Mirror. Each episode contains a fully immersive soundscape, original score, original script from their writing team. Episodes are released every other Thursday.For Pat: Any EpisodeFor Liz: Any Episodehttps://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-veil-audio-drama/id1443675475Subscribe to us on ITUNES, STITCHER, SPOTIFY, RADIOPUBLIC or your podcatcher of choice.Find us on FACEBOOK, TWITTER or INSTAGRAM.

Welcome back to what we like to call Castology, because that is the name of our podcast. This week seems to be our Punctuation in Podcast Titles Week, as we bring you recommendations of RISK!, Philosophize This! and Who The Hell is Hamish? As always, Liz, Patrick and Zane then move on to reviewing what they recommended last week.Liz Recommends - Who The Hell Is Hamish?https://www.theaustralian.com.au/podcasts/podcast-who-the-hell-is-hamish/news-story/c95b519a9ececa6076df80bd130ba158He was born Hamish Watson, a surfie dude from Sydney – but he could morph into whatever you needed him to be.Hamish is due to be sentenced to jail in early 2019 for swindling a handful of victims out of more than $7m. But these crimes are just the final pages in a resume too thick to staple; for decades he’s duped victims in the US, Canada, Britain, Hong Kong and Australia.How did he do it? How did he evade authorities around the world for so long and what’s he done with all those tens of millions of dollars he stole?From The Australian newspaper comes this podcast that does a deep dive into just who the hell Hamish whoever his last name is, well is, and the extent of his crimes and deception is mind boggling.For Both: Start from the start because it's a serial podcast.https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/who-the-hell-is-hamish/id1451470931Pat Recommends: Philosphize This!https://philosophizethis.org/He was born Stephen West and I think remains so. Stephen likes philosophy and wants you to also like philosophy as well. Each episode is delivered in delicious 20-30 minute bite size chunks, and each episode covers a philosophical movement or philosophical philosopher. Each episode often leads into the next one so I find it best to binge these in chunks.For Zane & Liz: I started with The Frankfurt School and binged form there, but start wherever you wish.https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/philosophize-this/id659155419Zane Recommends - RISK!http://risk-show.comThis is a podcast that Zane has been listening to for YEARS. He was an early adopter of the podcast and has fallen in and out of love with it many times over those years. RISK! is a live show and podcast where people tell true stories they never thought they’d dare to share in public, hosted by Kevin Allison. The award-winning live show happens monthly in New York and Los Angeles and has featured people like Janeane Garofalo, Lisa Lampanelli, Margaret Cho, Marc Maron, Sarah Silverman.For Pat: RawFor Liz: Frighthttp://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=334724074Subscribe to us on ITUNES, STITCHER, SPOTIFY, RADIOPUBLIC or your podcatcher of choice.Find us on FACEBOOK, TWITTER or INSTAGRAM.

Move over men, this week it's all about the ladies. That's right, Castology is bringing you a themed episode with recommendations of podcasts hosted by women (but definitely not just for women). Liz reclaims her sexual power with anti-slut shaming comedy podcast Guys We Fucked, Patrick gets physical with Found My Fitness, and Zane gets in touch with Lady Parts (and Liz is not sorry for making that sound like he touched girl bits instead of reviewing a film-focused podcast).Liz Recommends - Guys We Fuckedhttp://www.sorryaboutlastnightcomedy.com/guys-we-fucked/Have you ever wanted to interview people you've slept with in a forum where they have to reply? If you answered fuck yes then this is for you. Corrine Fischer and Krystyna Hutchinson are Sorry About Last Night, a comedy duo who host this very not shy podcast aimed at doing away with slut shaming while dishing the dirt on their sex lives, with no topic taboo. "Guys We Fuckedis a weekly self-produced podcast during which Corrine and Krystyna interview men they’ve slept with and titans in the comedy and sex industry (i.e.: comedians Jim Norton and Artie Lang) porn star Stoya & sex advice guru Dan Savage), discuss sexual taboos, and create a sex-positive environment for their million plus listeners worldwide." Note: the gals talk for quite a while before their guests come on, just for those who like to skip the banter.For both: Danny: Were You Ashamed To Fuck Me? orAm I Just Fucking Crazy w/ Amanda Knox were ones Liz liked. or pick whatever title interests you.Link: https://podcasts.apple.com/mx/podcast/guys-we-f-d/id885960517Pat Recommends - Found My Fitnesshttps://www.foundmyfitness.com/Dr Rhonda Patrick is one of the most knowledgeable beings I've ever come across. Every time I listen to her I need sit for a while and digest, as though I've just eaten a great big spaghetti. She holds a Ph.D. in biomedical science and a Bachelor’s of Science degree in biochemistry/chemistry. She is focused primarily on longevity and health optimisation and disseminates this information better than the best of them.For Zane & Liz: Choose either Satchin Panda or Roland Griffithshttps://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/foundmyfitness/id818198322Zane Recommends - Lady Parts PodcastThis is a film and media review podcast but with a very specific scope, and it is Brisbane based!

Good morning, good afternoon and good evening and welcome to Castology. The team kick things off with their recommendations: Liz goes for the cultural touchstone S-Town to nudge those who haven't yet listened to do so; Patrick brings a bit of The Church of What's Happening Now with Joey Coco Diaz; and Zane goes out of left field with a curated music podcast featuring an LGBTQI+ twist called Homoground. Then, stick around to hear the verdicts on last week's recommendations.Liz Recommends - S-Townhttps://stownpodcast.org/If you didn't listen to S-Town (from the makers of Serial and This American Life) when it was cool, Liz is giving you the official Castology nudge to get on it now. What started out as John hating his hometown in Alabama and calling in an investigative journalist to look into a possible murder and coverup in the neighbourhood, turns into something completely different when another death occurs. There's apparently a lawsuit against the makers of this podcast so listen now, before it's taken down!For both: It's another serial one folks, start from the start and listen until at LEAST the end of episode two before you decide if you want more.Link: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/s-town/id1212558767Pat Recommends - The Church of What's Happening Nowhttp://thechurchofwhatshappeningnow.libsyn.com/Joey 'CoCo' Diaz is a maniac. That is an understatement. He is also a comedian, actor and podcaster with a wild, wild past. Find out about it on The Church of What's Happening Now. The usual podcast format is an interview with whoever's brave enough to come on. The guests are wide ranging, often those individuals who've been lucky enough to lead lives as interesting as Joey's. Otherwise it's Joey and offsider Lee Syatt talking about whatever comes up, or trading stories from their past.For Zane & Liz: Pick a guest that you like, or take a deep dive with the 'Acid Church' episode.https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-church-of-whats-happening-now-with-joey-coco-diaz/id558364221Zane Recommends - HomogroundNow this is the very first podcast of this kind that I have come across. a music curation podcast. If you are like me and live in a bit of a music-bubble, and struggle to hear new stuff then this might be the new wave of podcasting for you. The Homoground podcast features music from LGBTQ and allied bands to bring exposure & access to queer bands, especially to those who live in isolated areas.For Pat: AnyFor Liz: Anyhttps://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/homoground-queer-music-radio-lgbtq/id434095730Subscribe to us on ITUNES, STITCHER, SPOTIFY, RADIOPUBLIC or your podcatcher of choice.Find us on FACEBOOK, TWITTER or INSTAGRAM.

It's time for more Castology! Are you ready? Are you really? Because we are CHANGING IT UP this week. That's right, from this episode we'll have our recommendations first up, then stick around for our reviews from last week's offerings. This week, Pat recommends one of his favourite ever podcasts, Congressional Dish, Zane brings a listener submission - Dead Ladies Show Podcast - to the table, and Liz looks at another true crime phenomenon in Dr Death.Liz Recommends - Dr DeathLiz should get some sort of award for recommending so many Wondery podcasts. This week it's all about Dr Duntsch aka Dr Death."33 Patients. A Charming Surgeon. A Spineless System.We’re at our most vulnerable when we go to our doctors. We trust the person at the other end of that scalpel. We trust the hospital. We trust the system. Dr. Christopher Duntsch was a neurosurgeon who radiated confidence. He claimed he was the best in Dallas. If you had back pain, and had tried everything else, Dr. Duntsch could give you the spine surgery that would take your pain away. But soon his patients started to experience complications. And all they had to protect them was a system ill equipped to stop the madness. From Wondery, the network behind the hit podcast Dirty John, DR. DEATH is about a medical system that failed to protect these patients at every possible turn. Reported and hosted by Laura Beil."For both: This is a serial podcast so ya gotta start from the start.Link: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/dr-death/id1421573955Pat Recommends - Congressional DishOK. This is my baby. Not really. It's host Jennifer Briney's baby I guess. But I like to think I've been there since the shower. This woman is one of my heroes. Since 2012 she has been reading the bills that pass through the legislative branch of the United States Government. It's a dirty job, but no one was doing it. Not even the members of the branch, really. This is the raw data. Who is taking money from who, how much and what bills are being put forward as a result. If you want to narrow your news streams to escape the madness of the world I would still urge you to keep this one flowing. This podcast has the potential to change the world.For Zane & Liz: Pick a more recent episode, if you like it go back further. See how deep the rabbit hole goes.https://congressionaldish.comZane Recommends - Dead Ladies Show Podcasthttps://deadladiesshow.com/Zane is so excited to recommend this submission! The Dead Ladies Show (and podcast) is all about women who achieved great things against all odds.

Your friendly neighbourhood Castologists are here to tell you where to go... to get good podcasts. (Not the other way, sheesh, we don't want you all to get mad at us and leave!) Liz dips back into the Wondery barrel to look at their new offering One Plus One, Zane explains what the "ology" part in Castology means (and a whole lot more ologies too) with the appropriately named Ologies, and Patrick gets newsy and questions everything with The Fifth Column. Got thoughts? We know you do! Send them to us!Liz Recommends - One Plus Onehttps://wondery.com/shows/one-plus-one/Liz was all about this podcast that explores famous partnerships in history because the first series looks at Beatles Lennon and McCartney and she s all about them (and always has been even before her stupid ex claims he got her to love them, so there.)"Every great collaboration is a love story. It’s intense. Passionate. Along the way, there’s flashes of love, hate, pride, ego, ambition, and brilliance. Think: Jay-Z and Beyonce. Google’s Sergei Brin and Larry Page. Lenin and Trotsky. The Lakers’ Shaq and Kobe. From Wondery, the company behind the hit podcast “Business Wars,” comes ONE PLUS ONE, an ongoing series about what happens when two geniuses come together to do something they could never accomplish on their own. In each six-episode series, hosts Rico Gagliano (Safe for Work) and Faith Salie (CBS’ This Morning) will bring you the ups and downs of the world’s greatest and most dramatic collaborations. And they will look at some key questions: Why does creative tension often spark something magical? And what can we learn from these stories to help with our own life and work partnerships?"https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/one-plus-one/id1449642919?mt=2For both: The whole Lennon/McCartney series.Pat Recommends - The Fifth Column PodcastWhat's more fun than listening to a bunch of well informed journos sitting around, getting drunk and shooting the breeze about the state of play? Probably loads of stuff but this is still worth your time I swear. I first clued onto this thanks to Kmele Foster of Free Think Media appearing on a bunch of my other feeds. Now I've gotten to know his friends Matt Welch of Reason Magazine and Michael Moynihan from Vice News and boy am I glad I did. These podcasts usually consist of the above three doing the higher above, but they'll sometimes have a guest on or opt for a one on one interview style.For Zane: 134For Liz: 136http://wethefifth.comZane Recommends - Ologieshttps://www.alieward.com/ologiesZane is back with another science podcast! Created by science correspondent Alie Ward, Ologies involves Ward interviewing radical names in every -ology she likes, including archaeology and biology, and making you laugh so hard you might cry. Alie Ward studied both science & film in college and was a staff writer/editor for the Los Angeles Times and on-air contributor to KTLA. She volunteers at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County and is a co-founder of the science communication collective Nerd Brigade.For Pat: Selachimorphology (SHARKS) with Chris LoweFor Liz: Kalology (BEAUTY STANDARDS) with Renee Engelnhttps://www.stitcher.com/podcast/ologiesSubscribe to us on ITUNES, STITCHER, SPOTIFY, RADIOPUBLIC or your podcatcher of choice.Find us on FACEBOOK, TWITTER or INSTAGRAM.

Let's talk about sex, baby! In honour of Valentine's Day, the team at Castology wanna recommend getting down and dirty. How romantic! But before then we gotta talk about last week, namely: How Did This Get Made?, The Rubin Report and Intelligence Squared U.S. Debates. Then it's getting hot in here, with Liz gushing about Sex Nerd Sandra, Zane slipping in a bit of Savage Lovecast, and Patrick getting stimulating with Tangentially Speaking. Subscribe to us on ITUNES, STITCHER, SPOTIFY or your podcatcher of choice. Find us on FACEBOOK, TWITTER or INSTAGRAM.Liz recommends: Sex Nerd Sandra https://www.patreon.com/sexnerdsandraHost Sandra Daugherty is a podcasting, workshop-teaching, sexual-shame-fighting “sex nerd” and her own words describe her podcast better than Liz ever could. “Many folks at first think "Sex Nerd" is just some provocative catch phrase I use to get attention. Ew no,” Sandra says on her Patreon. “In 2009, it was the only way I could efficiently communicate what I am and how I relate to the world. I was teaching a lot of BJ & orgasm classes back then and that quickly evolved into the Sex Nerd Sandra podcast (formerly on Nerdist). While I love to overshare about neato sex info, I’ve never felt like a sexpert, and always felt like a sex nerd. I hope we continue to learn together. I'm making lighthearted, curiosity-driven sex ed episodes interviewing scientists, practitioners and perverts about their passions." In earlier episodes she co-hosted with Dave Ross. She's now left the Pod Network life and you can donate to her Patreon so she can keep doing her sexy, nerdy thing.Liz's recommendation for Zane: Ep #35 Kiss and Make Out (Live ep).Liz's recommendation for Pat: Ep #66 Red Hot Touch(But Liz also thought it was hard to choose which ep to recommend which gent, so she suggested listening to both if they can).https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/sex-nerd-sandra/id455065811Pat Recommends: Tangentially Speaking with Dr. Christopher Ryan https://chrisryanphd.com/tangentially-speaking/This might be the favourite of my podcast subscriptions, it's certainly the one I recommend most. Chris Ryan first burst onto the scene in 2010 when he and his wife Cacilda Jethá co-wrote Sex at Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality. I first heard Chris when he appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience (naturally), where he was encouraged to start his own podcast. I've been listening to Tangentially Speaking from he beginning and am never disappointed. Chris gets all sorts of interesting people on, comedians, actors, musicians, scientists, writers, friends of his, and eccentrics he meets on his travels.

Dan Savage is an author, a sex-advice columnist, a podcaster, a pundit, and a public speaker. "Savage Love," Dan's sex-advice column, first appeared in the The Stranger, Seattle’s alternative weekly, in 1991. The column is now syndicated to more than 50 papers across the United States and Canada. Dan has published six books. Dan’s graphic, pragmatic, and humorous advice has changed the cultural conversation about monogamy, gay rights, religiosity, and politics.For Liz and Pat: Any episode really, all very similar.https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/savage-lovecast/id201376301Subscribe to us on ITUNES, STITCHER, SPOTIFY or your podcatcher of choice.Find us on FACEBOOK, TWITTER or INSTAGRAM.
