podcast/audiobook recs?
It's July and my hockey podcasts are all on hiatus until September and the Mets podcast I listened to is kaput and I need something to listen to for the summer. Does anyone have something they love?
For podcasts: I am not a fan of true crime as a species or political/activist stuff. I'm not looking to get mad about anything. I love food, history, hockey, baseball, Hollywood sausage-making (I have a subscription to The Ankler), and grew up listening to Paul Harvey's The Rest of the Story and Car Talk. I love learning new things, I hate audience participation shows. I have my alarm clock set to Bloomberg Radio because I don't have any particular interest in the markets but it's important to know.
I don't have a great history with audiobooks, but I keep wanting to try again because maybe this time it will stick. I read a lot of nonfiction -- the top of my holds lists at the library are Maureen Ryan's Burn It Down and Alex Joske's Spies and Lies. I like historical fiction and have been told that Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell gets better after the first third and might be worth it as an audiobook. I made it through the end of Dune, almost all of Neal Stephenson and Daniel Silva, and will read any good murder-mystery but you will have to sell me on fantasy and I generally Cannot with teen or younger protagonists no matter what the premise.
So now that I have established my bona fides as a Difficult Customer... anyone have recs?
