A really fun podcast episode with https://mastodon.social/@Rushkoff@social.coop and other cool people talking about psychedelics, history of the internet and how tech bros are trying to monopolise psychedelics as an industry

https://www.teamhuman.fm/episodes/290-the-secret-history-and-unwritten-future-of-psychedelics-and-technology

At one point Dr. Julie Holland says something along the lines of "how about schools where one doesn't have to ask permission to go to the toilet when they need to", and I was like "holy shit, woah, yes, that is a very sensible reasonable no-brainer baseline humane thing, isn't it?" 💡 while feeling crashed by this sudden realisation in the saddest way possible 😓

The Best Podcasts for Your Smart, Bored Kid

Image with the Mona Lisa and some green star shaped emoticons around her head. Text says Tinkercast Who, When, Wow!
Some excellent kid safe and also informative podcasts in the list at the linked article. I’d say though they are not just for long trips in the car, as it is actually a good habit to listen to focussed and informative topics at any time. Much of my own day, including shopping trips and when driving, are spent listening to podcasts.

Audio podcasts are great for those times when you are busy doing something, and cannot be watching a screen the whole time. You can slow down, or speed up, podcast listening too.

Google Podcasts is dead. It has been dying for months, since Google announced last fall that it was killing its dedicated podcast app in order to focus all its podcasting efforts on YouTube Music. This is a bad idea and a big downgrade, and I’d be more mad if only I were more surprised.

The Podcasts app is just the latest product to go through a process I’ve come to call The Google Cycle. It always goes the same way: the company launches a new service with grandiose language about how this fits its mission of organizing and making accessible the world’s information, quickly updates it with a couple of neat features, immediately seems to forget it exists, eventually launches a competitor out of some other part of the company, obviously begins to deprecate it and shift focus to the new competitor, and then, years later, finally shuts it down for real. The Google Graveyard is full of apps like Reader, Duo, Inbox, Allo, Wallet, and countless others that have been through The Google Cycle, and it feels just as bad every time.

Google Podcasts is gone — and so is my faith in Google

Google could have made podcasts awesome. Instead, it gave up on them.
