Ear Hustle is prison slang for eavesdropping, and that’s what listening to the show feels like: a raw, often funny, and always surprising peek into the reality of life inside prison. Hosts Nigel Poor and Earlonne Woods co-created the show that launched in 2017 while Earlonne was incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison, where Nigel was a volunteer teaching photography. Since Earlonne’s release in 2018, the show has expanded to include stories from prisons across the state, including the California Institution for Women, as well as stories about getting out of prison and starting over, post-incarceration. From finding romance, to grappling with a life sentence, to trying to parent via 15-minute phone calls, Ear Hustle stories deliver what This American Life host Ira Glass calls a “"very real” and “untragic” take on prison life. Ear Hustle is a proud member of Radiotopia from PRX, a network of independent listener-supported podcasts.

Seeking to separate fact from fiction, the multi award-winning series returns to investigate the divisive story of Shamima Begum. When three London school girls went missing in 2015, they generated global headlines and the media storm that ensued continues to this day.

But it was too late, and they disappeared inside the so-called caliphate. For four years, their fate remained a mystery - with only occasional glimpses and sometimes conflicting reports of what they were doing with the terror group being made public. Only one of the girls emerged from the ashes of the so called caliphate - Shamima Begum. The new series will take listeners inside Josh's attempts to figure out what really happened, unearthing new information about one of the most talked about stories of our time. He travels from Bethnal Green in East London to the depths of what was ISIS controlled Syria as he challenges Shamima Begum and investigates if the story she tells is true.

A hundred and fifty years ago, the Osage Nation bought a stretch of prairie the size of Delaware, in what's now Oklahoma. The Osage owned the land and everything beneath it. Today, much of present-day Osage County has left Osage hands.

But other transfers of wealth played out more subtly—dollar by dollar and acre by acre, over decades—helped along by policies created by the US government.

The true story of a man who wreaks havoc on a community: “He taps phone lines, steals notary stamps, gets banned from restaurants, hacks emails, and forges signatures. He inspires a support group comprised solely of people he traumatized.

He was also my dad.”

Secrets & Spies aims to seek out and engage in meaningful discussions with experts and practitioners about espionage, terrorism, geopolitics and intrigue. Not all episodes are directly about espionage as some topics, such as terrorism, are pretty complex and require a look at the underlying ideology behind it to lead to a deeper understanding of the topic. Also, due to the nature of the podcast topics, some episodes delve into the contemporary politics behind an issue. The podcast does its best to remain balanced. However, the show does take a critical view of the MAGA movement, far-left/far-right politics and Trumpism.

Hi! Welcome to Storytime with Seth Rogen, where every week Seth asks somebody, “Do you have a great story? And if you do, will you tell it on my podcast?” That’s it. That’s the concept. But the results are so much more than that. This is not a typical comedian-hosted chat show! Each episode plays like a little audio documentary, a feature presentation unto itself, with supporting interviews and archival tape woven into each story with a rhythmic editing style. Not all the stories are knee-slap funny, and not all the guests are known. From a near-death grizzly bear fight in remote Canada, to a life-altering celebrity encounter in a movie theatre, to the revelation of a family secret, Storytime starts with Seth’s curiosity about people and the world, and always ends up in an unexpected place.

When Mangesh Hattikudur (Part-Time Genius, Humans Growing Stuff) set out to do a big, sweeping show on astrology, he didn’t realize the first interview would change the course of his life. But as he tries to put his world back together, he realizes the incredible ways astrology presents itself in modern society: from NASA employees who keep their belief in astrology in the closet, to world leaders who’ve used astrologers to guide foreign policy, to moneyball statisticians who use astrology more than statistics to build baseball teams, to a little shop in India where your fortune was written for you centuries ago, and is waiting for you to come claim it. Over the course of 8 episodes, Mangesh tries to decipher why we keep looking to the stars for answers, and what happens when you don’t believe in astrology, but astrology keeps happening to you.

In every ballet studio, there is a wall of mirrors. It reflects the people within. They’re part of a closed, elite group that asks for sacrifice and devotion from its members. This insular community produces iconic artists. It’s founded on a strict power structure, often with one man at the top. By tracing the origins of this unusual lifestyle, starting with the legacy of choreographer George Balanchine and the intimate stories of young dancers, we expose the beauty of an artform and the complexity of ballet culture.

Andrew Huberman: Decoding the Brain, One Podcast Episode at a Time Andrew Huberman isn't your average neuroscientist. He's not confined to dusty labs or cryptic scientific papers. Instead, he's become a digital guru, using the power of podcasts and social media to unlock the secrets of the brain for the masses. With his infectious enthusiasm and knack for translating complex science into bite-sized takeaways, Huberman has garnered a loyal following on the "Huberman Lab" podcast, reaching millions worldwide. But who is the man behind the microphone, and what journey led him to become the scientific rockstar he is today? From Skateboarding to Stanford: Born in Palo Alto, California, in 1975, Huberman's path might seem unconventional. His early years were fueled by a love for skateboarding and a fascination with human behavior. Yet, a pivotal encounter with Ben Barres, a renowned neuroscientist at Stanford, ignited a passion for exploring the inner workings of the mind. Huberman pursued this passion with dedication, earning degrees in psychology, neuroscience, and ophthalmology. He then delved into the world of research, making significant contributions to our understanding of vision, brain development, and the neural basis of learning and memory. A Scientific Detective Story: Huberman's research career was driven by a deep curiosity about the brain's potential. He wasn't content with simply identifying brain structures or circuits; he wanted to understand how they influence our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. His work focused on uncovering the intricate connections between brain activity, sensory input, and our internal systems, shedding light on how we perceive the world and regulate our emotional states. From Lab Bench to Podcast Booth: The turning point in Huberman's life came in 2020. Facing burnout and frustrated by the esoteric nature of scientific communication, he decided to bridge the gap between academia and the public. He launched the "Huberman Lab" podcast, using his gift for storytelling and his relatable personality to translate complex scientific concepts into actionable tools for everyday life. His episodes delve into fascinating topics like stress management, sleep optimization, focus enhancement, and overcoming addiction, offering practical strategies based on the latest research. The Science of Being Human: The success of the "Huberman Lab" podcast stems from Huberman's unique approach. He doesn't simply lecture; he engages, questions, and shares his own experiences. He invites listeners into his scientific detective story, showcasing the beauty and complexity of the brain while offering practical tools for hacking their own biology. Whether it's explaining the neurochemical basis of happiness or providing tips for optimizing sleep cycles, Huberman empowers listeners to take control of their mental and emotional well-being. Beyond the Podcast: Huberman's influence extends beyond the digital realm. He regularly gives talks and workshops, bringing his science-backed insights to live audiences. He also uses his platform to advocate for mental health awareness and research funding. A Legacy in the Making: Andrew Huberman's story is far from over. With his insatiable curiosity, engaging personality, and commitment to scientific translation, he's poised to continue shaping our understanding of the brain and empowering individuals to unlock their full potential. He's a reminder that the secrets of the mind are not just for scientists in ivory towers; they are within reach, waiting to be discovered and utilized for a happier, healthier life.
