Podcast Roundup Week #24

This week I listened to 40 episodes.

99% Invisible had an excellent episode called "Curb Cuts" that is just amazing. It talks about the Disability Rights Movement in the United States, focusing on one of the leaders, a wheelchair-bound fellow named Ed Roberts. I feel like I have a working knowledge of the black civil rights movement, the American Indian civil rights movement, and a post-Stonewall history of the LBGT+ civil rights movement, but this was the first time I'd really delved into this movement.  If you, like me, don't remember life before the ADA or curb cuts, this might be an interesting listen for you.

The Moth has reliably good storytelling.  The story that Jason Falchook told called "Empathetic Subway Screaming" is well done, although I question its veracity.  Regardless of the truthfulness of the story or not, it's well told and made me laugh as this man interacted with his fellow New Yorkers on a crowded subway car.

And that's all I'm going to leave you with this week. Hopefully next week I'll be back with something more interesting than podcasts that are reliably in top ten lists.
