Two podcast recommendations today.

Nice Try! from 99% Invisible "grad" Avery Truffleman. Season One looks at failed utopian communities. Season Two, which recently started, looks at the idea of the home as a utopian ideal. Apple Podcasts link, since it doesn't look like they have a website anywhere.

Oh No Ross and Carrie has been a favorite for years. As part of the Max Fun Block Party, they re-released their coverage of laughter yoga, which is delightful and silly. If you already know about a topic in-depth, it is likely they will make some mistakes, but if you are entering into a topic, they provide a great experiential primer. They have a website. Oh - the show is about cults, fringe beliefs, quackery... anything that essentially makes a claim. Ross and Carrie attend meetings, try products, and conduct interviews. Episodes are one-off all the way to 14+-parters.
