You Must Remember It is all about the history of Hollywood. I loved the season called The Blacklist which was all about the fear of the presence of Communists in the film industry in the late 1940s. |

99% Invisible This podcast is an exploration of the process and power of design and architecture. One of my recent favorite episodes was #336-Model City which is about an enormous scale model of the city of San Francisco that was created as a WPA project in the 1930s. The host, Roman Mars, has the best podcast voice. |

The Sporkful This podcast is about food but also culture, science, history and people. The host Dan Pashman's laugh is infectious and a big part of the reason I listen. |

Hit Parade This podcast is a deep dive into music and musicians via the history of pop-charts with trivia and song-snippets. A favorite episode of mine is The Def Jams Edition which covers this label's underground style in the 80s when it was just starting. |

More Perfect This is a podcast about the history of the Supreme Court. It explores through history how the cases the court decided affect our lives. One of my favorite episodes was The Political Thicket - about a redistricting case from 1962 that Chief Justice Ear Warren considered his most important case of his tenure. |
