What's Terry Listening To?

While driving,
I enjoy podcasts that examine History
or I tune in to Old Radio Mystery programs.

#1. LITERATURE AND HISTORY

I can not say enough great things about Doug Metzger and the wonderful educational journey he takes me on in each episode of Literature and History.  

With an emphasis on the cultural history behind famous works of literature, Literature and History is one of the most popular independent podcasts on this subject. Starting with Sumerian cuneiform in 3,100 BCE, Literature and History moves forward in chronological order through Assyriology, Egyptology, the Old Testament, Ancient Greece and Rome, the birth of Christianity, Late Antiquity, and dawn of the Middle Ages.  

After listening to the fascinating Episode 1 on "The Tower of Babel" I was hooked.

Doug Metzger finished his Ph.D. in literature in 2011. His chief scholarly interest, following his dissertation work, continues to be 19th-century realism and postbellum American philosophy.  Be sure to visit the podcasts' website where Doug also posts podcast updates, funny music videos (associated with each of the episodes), and check out the superb Bonus Material!

Literature and History has been featured at Literary Hub, on BBC 3, Harvard’s Sound Education, and in the Paris Review. Learn more about the show in articles featured in Pacific Standard magazine and The American Scholar.

#2. INTO HISTORY /
        HISTORY DAILY

If you're a History fan like me, you must sign up for THE stellar podcast subscription channel that's loaded with great programs - IntoHistory.com

Get instant access to hundreds of ad-free history episodes, including access to all of the archives, exclusive bonus content, a weekly newsletter, a community hub to keep the conversation going, and more.

My favorite podcast is narrated by the gentleman who launched IntoHistory, Lindsay Graham:


History Daily podcast
Every weekday I get my ride to work started with Lindsay Graham - - no, no, absolutely not that Lindsay Graham!  

This Graham hosting History Daily is the educated one who also hosts American Scandal & American History Tellers. Graham takes you back in time to explore a momentous moment that happened 'on this day' you woke up in.  

I love getting in a good history lesson
before turning to my other forms
of podcast entertainment,  

such as:

#3. Old Time Radio Detectives

Host Adam Graham
has me hooked
on The Great Detectives of Old Time Radio!
 
I love listening to them all:
Sam Spade, Johnny Dollar, Richard Diamond, Philo Vance, and
Tales of the Texas Rangers!

#4. THEOLOGICAL MUSINGS

My Sunday mornings find me enjoying my
coffee and kolache while listening to
any of the following podcasts with a focus
on Process Theology:

I especially liked
Episode 18
{Insights into Alfred North Whitehead's
Process Thought}
and Episode 23
{Process Insights for
Contemporary Political Issues}
where host Jay McDaniel [Cobb Institute]
converses with
Professor Matt Segall from the
Philosophy, Cosmology, and
Consciousness program
at California Institute of Integral Studies. 

Homebrewed Christianity has had a bunch of
Process theologians on the podcast.
