Learn Something New Today
Description: This is a podcast about fact finding and digging deeper into the subject matter that you care about, because I care about it too. From historical facts;the people behind them, and how they effect us today. All the way down to how your religion effects what federal job you are most likely to get. This is a podcast about History, facts, and just down right human behavior. Hope you enjoy it and give it a follow.

Episode recommendation: LSMT is a brand new podcast and the brainchild of Anthony Millian, whose newsletter you’ve seen here before. I love Anthony’s work as a content creator unearthing historic gems, especially around Puerto Rican culture. Start with the first episode: Dr. Tim Johnson and the influence of History.
Sithty Minutes
Description: A weekly News Podcast that covers the biggest stories of the week with a Star Wars spin! We'll cover everything from LGBTQ+ rights, Black Lives Matter, and immigration alongside the politics and policies impacting those issues. Star Wars is political, and we'll show you how every week.

Episode recommendation: even though I barely know anything about Star Wars, and don’t understand many of the references on this pod, I am so excited this exists (also, I really love a good pun! Sixty Minutes anyone?). You don’t have to be a Star Wars nerd to enjoy it. The show does truly masterful work explaining current events through the lens of the beloved Star Wars universe. It’s downright brilliant. The host Andrés Alvarez suggested diving in with the interview Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire - Dr. Chris Kempshall, but I’d also recommend the latest episode writer Daniel José Older.
