Pros

  • "Alphabetical Order" is an episode off 99% Invisible the delves into the mystery of the organizational system known as alphabetical order.
  • 99% Invisible did a multi-episode breakdown of The Powerbroker by Robert Caro. This book is great, but reading 1300+ pages is a project — the podcast made it more interesting
  • I was thoroughly entertained by two different 99% invisible episodes (yes the emojis are the title of the one episode): E626 - 😅⚖️ E650 - The Checkerboard
  • I also like 99% Invisible. It's all about design, from architecture to urban design, and makes you think about the world around you. It's not overly complicated but definitely thoughtful and interesting.
  • Roman Mars from 99% Invisible has the best voice in the game as far as I’m concerned. So smooth and comforting.

Have you ever tried 99% Invisible or Sidedoor from the Smithsonian? They don't just have a high production value, but the stuff you learn is genuinely interesting. I can highly recommend those for a drive.

99% invisible - interesting facts and stories about architecture and design. The narrator has the softest and best voice too.

There’s an episode of 99% Invisible about slot machines that’s incredibly fun and informative! (“No-Armed Bandit”) And another about the search for a non-ivory billiard ball and how it sparked the development of plastics (“post-billiards age”)

I love how much research is put in, and I love how excited the guests are to talk about what they love.

99% Invisible - Older episodes on MiniStories are a good introduction.
