I have become a massive fan of podcasts, in fact podcasts are making a fast resurgence, especially because they can now become monetized so people can earn a living making good content. They are not subject to the whims of one particular platform - such as YouTube, they are syndicated and arise on your podcast application as soon as they’re released (if you are subscribed), they are typically in a longer-form than most news articles or YouTube content, and they allow you to focus more on what’s being said, the ideas being presented, as opposed to the the visual look and feel, which is so prevalent on visual media platforms.

In the future I’m going to make a series of recommendations about the places I think are good to become more informed about what’s going on; and hear views and opinions - in some cases views and opinions I disagree with.

Field Recordings - https://fieldrecordings.xyz/ - A podcast where audio-makers stand silently in fields (or things that could be broadly interpreted as fields).

Gathering thunderstorm on the coast of Brittany, France, from inside a tent, on the 28th of July 2018 – by Rhiannon Armstrong - “I recorded this in a rare moment of quiet at a family reunion attended by more than 100 relatives in Saint Brian-sur-Mer in Brittany, France. My aunt was also taking advantage of the afternoon lull, to practice the fiddle in the tent next door.”
