  • Thursday is a Holiday in Germany, so many will take the Friday off as a bridge-day for a long weekend. That means that Wednesday is this weeks Friday. And as we all know that “Thursday is the small Friday”, todays Tuesdays is basically the small Friday of the week and this Tuesday is almost already at lunchtime, so there is no much incentive to start things, now that the weeks is almost over. I will arrange things on my table for two more hours and then prepare on this Tuesday for next weeks Monday. PS: I am exhausted


  • My pocket cast stats: You’ve listened for 115 days 14 hours

    Honorable mentions not yet seem in this thread (English only):

    • The Guardian: The Audio long read - full articles read by real people (30-45 min.)
    • Economist: Drum Tower - China correspondence about culture and politics
    • Aquired - 3h+ episodes about tech IPO and the history of companies. Sounds boring but it gives a look behind the curtain of the tech industry from the 30s to today (fun example episode: PowerPoint)
    • WNYC: On the media - Meta talk about media topics and enshittification
    • Law and Chaos - Previously on Opening Arguments, now in their own podcast: US justice topics, GOP bashing and of course: Trump
