About This List

Each week I publish the most Delicious Ingredients of my Audible Feast ... the scrumptious, delectable, savory, rich, sweet, spicy, and best podcasts that have fed my ears over the last week. They're listed in no particular order. You can see what I've been listening to here to see the competition these shows beat out to earn their spot as the best of the best. This week I listened to 65 episodes for this podcast review recap - 5 new shows for me this time, two of which made it on the list below, including Honorable Mentions.

Best of the Week
True Crime Bullsh**
05 | Exodus
1 Jan 4th, 2019 48m 42s
We explore Israel's adolescence, family, religious background, military career, and early criminal activity. We also examine Nature vs. Nurture and how both contributed to Israel's criminal pathology.To learn more: www.truecrimebullshit.com T

Keyes has been an extremely creepy person to get to know through the taped interviews played throughout this series. He's so cold and seemingly unaffected by the crimes he committed as he's confessing to them, so the discussion around nature and nurture was necessary and thought-provoking.
The Brain Candy Podcast
Kissing, Boobs, & Worst Movie Ever
1 Jan 7th, 2019 1h 2m
Today we discuss a device that lets you kiss someone through your phone (& why it's disgusting). We find out theories on why we have boobs. Susie talks about a scandal involving Hershey's kisses, & Sarah is outraged. We learn about the "testicl
Audiblefeast
I was cracking up through most of this episode - it was classic Susie and Sarah friendship exemplified. I'm off to research more about boobs and will definitely be measuring mine the next time I'm ovulating!
Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
Wanda Sykes
4
2 Dec 24th, 2018 47m 9s
Comedian Wanda Sykes feels trapped into being Conan O’Brien’s friend. Wanda and Conan sit down this week to talk about their mutual love of murder television, bowling with the railings down, and planning a vacation together. Plus, Conan giv

Audiblefeast
I have been absolutely delighted by Conan O'Brien's podcast. It's the perfect length - usually about 45 minutes - and it's like an extended interview that's much more NSFW. I am still cracking up about Conan telling Sykes he wants to either become a murderer or get murdered, so people would know about it and he might be featured on a show like Forensic Files. Sykes is also hilariously deadpan funny when she talks about having a weapon handy if Conan were to hang out with her socially.

#180 Cards Against Humanity | Round Two
Greg and Ivan are back to play another hilarious installment of Cards Against Humanity. Plus, an old friend returns to the show! This is our New Year's Eve special and was supposed to release last week, but...life and stuff. Hope you enjoy. Th
Audiblefeast
I can't resist a good game of Cards Against Humanity, especially when I don't really know the humor of the people playing - it makes it that much funnier to me to see what makes people blush or just how sick someone's mind is. This isn't the average GravityBeard content but I just stumbled on it and it made me laugh as expected.
ZigZag
Lessons Learned from a Risky Crypto Experiment
The co-founders of Stable Genius Productions have a candid conversation about their current financial situation (hint: their grant is running out soon), the highs/lows of making this season of the podcast (another hint: they had a fallout over
Audiblefeast
These are my favorite ZigZag episodes - when Jen and Manoush get real about what is and isn't working in their startup journey. The "inbox zero vs deleting without reading vs responding immediately to e-mail" debate is something discussed in many working mother circles. There's so much guilt tied up in e-mail and expectations, I suspect especially for women, but I'm not a man so can't comment. This subtle small discussion in this episode was meaningful for me because it made me feel like I'm not alone and not crazy.
The Sugar Baby Confessionals
Tipsy Tart (Part 1)
Episode 12: Tipsy Tart I (Theme: Feminism & sex work) Guest host (and general badass) Katherine Hofmeyr bravely takes the role of feminist policewoman to referee our discussion of feminism and how it relates to the sugar babies. Are the sugar
Audiblefeast
I named The Sugar Baby Confessionals one of the best podcasts I heard in 2018, and I had only made it to about episode 6 by that time - it got even better as it went on. After several episodes of learning about the sugar babies' relationships and motivations, the show finally tackled the feminism question - whether what these women are doing is empowering or not, whether it's feminist behavior, and how their experiences are different from other sex workers' given that the vast majority of sex workers would not choose to do that work if they had an alternative. It's a really important part of the sugar baby discussion.
The Moth
The Alpha Wolf: Elizabeth Gilbert
On this episode, writer Elizabeth Gilbert shares her struggle in dealing with her partner’s terminal illness and what it taught her about living. Storyteller: Elizabeth Gilbert Hosted by: Catherine Burns
Audiblefeast
Wow, this was phenomenal - full of intensity, packed into a perfect-length story. Gilbert shares her immense pain about the time leading up to her partner's death and memorializes her beautifully by sharing the characteristically feisty last moments of her life with the audience - so beautiful.
Outside/In
Rake and Ride
Pirate trails are everywhere: the pioneers of mountain biking built them on private land, public land and everything in between. They were built by riders just looking for a place to take their new bikes, and in the process they simply appropri
Audiblefeast
I don't know if the crackling of twigs and leaves was actually part of the audio design, but I *felt* that as I imagined going down the bike trails. Plus, it was really interesting to hear the history of the "illegal" trails and how embedded the secretive nature is in the sport.
Gay Future
Episode 1: Gay Academy
The year is 2062 and everyone is Gay. Mikey, a young boy with a dark secret, attends his first day at the prestigious Gay Academy and makes a shocking discovery. Twitter: @gayfuturepod Instagram: @gayfuturepod Website: gayfuturepodcast.com #gay
Audiblefeast
I loved this new entry into the audio fiction space, which describes itself as: "A new podcast adaptation of a recently discovered, never released YA novel by Mike Pence." It was innovative and witty, and I can't wait to hear more of the story.
