PODCASTS
What are the best podcasts to listen to right now? We asked Kyana Moghadam, KQED’s podcast engagement producer, what she recommends. Here are her picks.
STARTER EPISODE “Why Are BART Escalators Nearly Always Broken? And How Did They Build Those Tunnels?” In this episode of Bay Curious, KQED’s podcast that explores audience questions about the Bay Area, we look at BART. The episode hits on many of the questions we have about the system and how we get around the place we all call home.
STARTER EPISODE “Four Days in August” The first episode of NPR’s history podcast, Throughline, explores four days in August 1953 when the CIA was involved in the coup against Iran's elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh. It’s an important listen, especially for those looking to know more about the 1979 Iranian Revolution and current US-Iran relations.
STARTER EPISODE “What Are You Scared Of?” 10 Things That Scare Me is WNYC’s podcast about fear. Each episode features one person talking 2020 MARCH about ten things that scare them — from losing teeth to being pulled over by the police on a dark night to a Thanksgiving turkey coming back to life.
