2021: This year’s best podcasts!

This posts contains links to Apple Podcasts and Spotify, which may or may not attempt to open the respective apps on your device if you click or tap them. You can find all listed podcast titles not just on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, but also on Stitcher, Google Play, Amazon Music or pretty much any other podcasting app or streaming service. (Personally I tend to use Overcast as my preferred podcasting app nowadays.)

Ron and Mike

Sometimes – not often – I bump into something so good that it would be bordering on criminal not to share. On this occasion, I felt that just passing on a link would be insufficient, as the original piece was in a language that only a small portion of the world’s population is able to understand. So I approached the author with the question if I could reproduce his piece in English, and he kindly gave me permission to do so. I really hope I’ve done his work justice. (If at any time and for whatever reason he chooses to withdraw his permission I will remove this post. This is, after all, his work, not mine.)
