A short list for the last week of July:
Planet Money – “When Women Stopped Coding”
An illuminating but sad history of when computer science moved from being woman-dominated to a “men’s only club.”
Politically Re-Active – “Democracy Now’s Amy Goodman Gives Us the Election Unfiltered”
A podcast I just started listening to that is hosted by W. Kamau Bell and Hari Kondabolu features an interview with the noted alternative media host who manages to keep a straight face amidst their goofiness.
The Gist – “Celebrating the Nerd Mentatality”
This podcast is worth listening primarily for Mike Pesca ordering a salad as if he were delivering a convention speech, but the stuff on nerds is good too.
