Pods Review Pods is a weekly segment where podcasters review fellow podcasts.
My name is Alex Gajewski and I am the host of the
Worth Your Time Podcast. My podcast is designed for you to get the knowledge of a book…without having to read it. Usually in 20 minutes or less. I’m a nerd who has plenty of interests so there is something for everyone. I love to learn…which makes me a sucker for podcasts. Below are 3 podcasts that you will learn something from. And when you get done listening to these 3…head over to my page and learn some more.
The Joe Rogan Experience
Recommended episode: #958 — Jordan Peterson
I’ve never felt dumber while listening…but smarter after the fact than listening to these two guys talk. Jordan Peterson is as polarizing as it gets in the intellectual world. Some see him as the smartest person they’ve ever heard speak and others think he is a cancer to society. Also, if you’ve never listened to the Joe Rogan Experience before you are in for for a treat. I got hooked to it a few months ago and I legitimately think it changed my life. It changed the way I look at the world. I tend to think with more of an open mind and I am much more disciplined than I was before. I highly recommend this one…especially if you plan on listening with an open mind.
Hardcore History
Recommended episode: Show 48 — Prophets of Doom
Synopsis of Prophets of Doom: “Murderous millennial preachers and prophets take over the German city of Munster after Martin Luther unleashes a Pandora’s Box of religious anarchy with the Protestant Reformation.”
LONG….but so worth it. Dan Carlin is the best history teacher you’ll ever have. His delivery is impeccable..and his knowledge is unmatched. He tells true stories from the bookshelves of history…that seem completely fictional. And if you’re able to make it to the end of this podcast, you’ll hear about one of the most tumultuous torture acts ever committed. It is stomach churning.
S-Town
Incredibly popular…and you’ve probably listened to it…but I really liked it. It’s a story about a small town in Alabama. The podcast makes you fall in and out of love with the characters (real people) and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Here is the description from the host website:
John despises his Alabama town and decides to do something about it. He asks a reporter to investigate the son of a wealthy family who’s allegedly been bragging that he got away with murder. But then someone else ends up dead, sparking a nasty feud, a hunt for hidden treasure, and an unearthing of the mysteries of one man’s life.
