When Podcasting Starts Changing You
One of the common threads that runs through TV shows about business is that people in that business are embroiled in a no-holds-barred, cutthroat battle to dominate. Think of the HBO show Succession, where Waystar Royco, the international media conglomerate controlled by aging patriarch Logan Roy, is contemplating what the future holds as his family jockeys to succeed him. Or Yellowstone, where John Dutton battles everyone from the government to his own family for control.

Merry Christmas From Ear Worthy
What I’ve always loved about Santa Claus is that he knows what children want for Christmas. He has the master list. At Ear Worthy, we know that our readers want to discover the best independent podcasts out there. Unlike Santa, we don’t have gift information down to the granular level.

Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing As A Podcast
Much Ado About Nothing is a comedy by William Shakespeare, set in Messina, Italy, that contrasts two love stories: the witty, antagonistic relationship between Beatrice and Benedick, and the seemingly straightforward romance between Hero and Claudio, which the villainous Don John nearly ruins.

Becoming Self Made Podcast
We fetishize success in the U.S. industries, which have grown up promoting strategies for success. Books, classes, instructional and inspirational videos, gadgets, systems, and even podcasts all promote the avenues to success. I must confess that I am conflicted by podcasts that promote success. These podcasts market an “If they can do it, so can you” mantra.

Echoes In The First Person Podcast
I’ll begin with a statement of dubious profundity. History is hard. On the surface, that statement sounds ridiculous and simple-minded. After all, History is easy. In school, you study facts in History and then take a test to assess what you know.
