The John Birch Society was started in the 1960s by a small group of wealthy businessmen including Robert Welch and Fred Koch. It expanded, with chapters of like-minded Americans meeting in private living rooms and finished basements across the country. They were fueled by conspiracy theories that caused a schism in presidential politics. While the John Birch Society’s influence has waned, its impact is still felt today. #radiotopia

The John Birch Society

Back in the 1960s, the John Birch Society called on Americans to fight communists they said had infiltrated American society.

Radio Diaries
The fucking audacity of Alex Goldman and the #Hyperfixed team making another #Radiotopia / #PRX podcast about fixing things and being too much of a coward to fix β€˜murica.

I used to listen to a lot of podcasts, but lately I haven't been having the attention span for it.

Therefore, I hadn't really tried out Alex Goldman's new(ish) podcast: Hyperfixed. I'd listened to one episode, but because of the lack of focus, I didn't listen to much more.

Decided to try again this weekend with the latest episode: Little By Little.

It was fab. This episode had exactly all the ingredients that my brain needed to give it its full attention. Music, mystery, tech, history, science, typography. Glorious.

Hyperfixed | Little By Little

By way of comparison, #Radiotopia, which is great, sent me three solicitation emails the entire month of December. Which, to be clear, is still two more than I would have preferred to receive, but it's a far more justifiable and less annoying pace than five in five days or three in one day.

I’m a huge fan of PRX and Radiotopia and really believe in what they do.

They just had an auction to raise money. I already donate, but one of the items was getting to do the Sonic ID, the chimes followed by β€œby P-R-X,” for the month of December for all their shows.

Well, friends, get ready to hear my voice saying three letters at the end of some of the best podcasts and radio shows ever.

I’m so stoked.

Een paar weken geleden ben ik beginnen luisteren naar de #podcast #EverythingIsAlive en vandaag kwam ik aan de laatste aflevering. Ik hoop echt dat er binnenkort een zesde seizoen komt. De gesprekken met de sok, de fopspeen, het schilderij, de tatoeage, de lantaarnpaal en de krant waren zo mooi, maar beluister zeker ook de andere interviews. Ze zijn stuk voor stuk grappig, ontroerend en hartverwarmend. #radiotopia #IanChillag

Wie nog op zoek is naar een #PodcastTip, kan ik Everything is Alive aanraden. In iedere aflevering wordt een object geΓ―nterviewd alsof het een echt personage is. In het eerste seizoen passeerden een colablikje, een lantaarnpaal, een kussen, een stuk zeep, een lift, een zandkorrel, enzovoort. Het is grappig om de wereld vanuit een ander perspectief te bekijken. Tegelijk is het ontroerend, hartverwarmend en leerrijk.

The news from #radiotopia and #earhustle today affirmed my faith in the universe. There is definitely a lot more to do, but another foot soldier will be out to work on it. #prisonabolition
