Came up with a fun way to explore podcasts.
When I listen to one, I pick something or someone mentioned in it and find an episode about that thing or person to listen to next.
Here’s how the journey has played out so far…
1. Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast in 2020.
They were promoting the movie they did with Tarantino so then I listened to…
2. Quentin Tarantino on Chris Hardwick’s podcast in 2015.
He mentioned actor Tim Robbins so…
3. Tim Robbins on the Smartless podcast in 2026.
He talked about loving Strat-o-Matic baseball which led me to…
4. Adam Richman on Box Scores From The Basement.
The son of the Strat-o-Matic creator and current head of the company being interviewed on a podcast about sports simulation gaming.
They mentioned the game being sold in Barnes & Noble now so…
5. Barnes & Noble CEO Jim Daunt on Masters of Scale.
He talked about the impact of BookTok on his business so…
6. The Cult of BookTok on Sounds Like A Cult.
An overview of how BookTok developed and operates through the lens of how cults operate.
They mention an episode they did about the cult of Taylor Swift so…
7. Taylor Swift on Acquired.
A deep dive into her business.
Just started it, but excited to see where it leads me next!
