Podcasts Worth Listening To This Week: From Beatles to True Crime

Conan O'Brien has taken on a unique podcasting gig as the host of The Rest Is History: Beatles Special. In this engaging chat with Tom Holland, Conan explores John, Paul, George, and Ringo's careers in a historical context, rather than just a music one. This approach provides an interesting angle to the popular Fab Four, making it a standout pick for podcast enthusiasts.

On another note, The Guilty Feminist: Road to Gilead is a thought-provoking miniseries exploring the rise of US Christian nationalism and its impact on minority groups. With the help of guest contributors Russell T Davies and Chiara Capraro from Amnesty International, Deborah Frances-White delves into this timely topic.

Fans of The Doors will appreciate Really?? The Doors?, hosted by Naomi Fry. This strand marries compelling storytelling with insightful interviews, taking a deep dive into the legacy of Jim Morrison and his bandmates. Singer-songwriter Weyes Blood and LA punk John Doe share their unique perspectives on the iconic musician's impact on music.

Furthermore, The Switch: Living Planet examines humanity's prolonged reliance on fossil fuels and our slow transition to clean energy. With its title hinting at a crucial switch, this podcast delves into regulatory issues, investment problems, and failing political will.

Last but not least, Paranormia is a well-researched series exploring the intersection of psychology and the supernatural. The first episode delves into Slender Man's origins and his infamous connection to a 12-year-old girl's tragic death in Wisconsin.

Conan O'Brien's Beatles podcast is fire , but what about some true crime podcasts with a dash of humor? I'm more into the dark stuff . The Guilty Feminist series is super thought-provoking , but Paranormia just went from fascinating to freaking me out .

I'm loving this week's podcast lineup ! Conan O'Brien's take on the Beatles is so refreshing - I mean, who wouldn't want to hear about their careers in a historical context? It's like getting to know them all over again, but with some cool new insights. And The Guilty Feminist: Road to Gilead sounds super thought-provoking, especially with those guest contributors on board - can't wait to dive into that one!

I'm also excited to check out Really?? The Doors?, Naomi Fry's hosting skills are top-notch, and I've always been fascinated by the stories behind iconic musicians like Jim Morrison. And The Switch: Living Planet is something we need more of in our lives - tackling climate change and fossil fuels head-on? Yes, please!

Last but not least, Paranormia's got me intrigued... who knew Slender Man was tied to such a tragic story? Guess you could say that's what makes it so fascinating. Can't wait to get hooked on all these podcasts and learn something new this week!

honestly, I'm a bit skeptical about Conan O'Brien hosting a Beatles podcast... I mean, it's cool that he's exploring their careers in a historical context, but is this gonna be some watered-down, feel-good crap? I'd rather see him tackle something more in-depth and edgy.

I'm loving Conan O'Brien's new podcast, it's like he's interviewing you after a wild dream ... I mean, exploring the Beatles' careers from a historical perspective is genius! It's not just about their music, but what shaped them and how they affected the world. And Tom Holland as his guest? Mind blown .

But, let's talk about The Guilty Feminist miniseries... it's like, super timely . As someone who's grown up with social justice being a part of their life, it's concerning to see how far right-wing ideologies have infiltrated our society. I mean, Russell T Davies and Chiara Capraro bringing in some serious expertise from Amnesty International? That's what we need more of .

And, oh man, Really?? The Doors? Naomi Fry is killing the game with this podcast! I'm obsessed with Weyes Blood's perspective on Jim Morrison... it's like she's speaking directly to my soul . And, John Doe sharing his thoughts on LA punk and music history? That's what podcasts are all about, right?

The Switch: Living Planet is giving me major anxiety , but in a good way? Like, I need to know more about our reliance on fossil fuels... how can we switch to clean energy ASAP?! And Paranormia? Mind. Blown. Slender Man and the Wisconsin tragedy? Chilling

I'm loving this week's podcast lineup ! Conan O'Brien's take on The Beatles is so refreshing, it's like getting a crash course on their history without even having to listen to all their songs . And I gotta say, The Guilty Feminist: Road to Gilead sounds like a real eye-opener - the timing couldn't be worse, with everything going down in the US right now .

But what's really got me hooked is Really?? The Doors?, Naomi Fry's podcast about Jim Morrison and The Doors. I mean, have you heard Weyes Blood talk about Morrison? Mind blown . And The Switch: Living Planet is like the ultimate wake-up call - we need to get our act together on climate change ASAP ️.

Paranormia's got me curious too, who knew Slender Man had such a dark history? I guess you could say it's all about exploring the unknown and facing our fears... but in a really cool way .
