YOU KNOW THE PLACE
Every day, you drive by hundreds of businesses you've never stopped at, shopped at or (sometimes) even noticed. That's where we come in. From crematories to coffee buses, bee farms to bodegas, shooting ranges to scuba lessons, You Know The Place explores the Idaho stores, shops, clubs, and pubs you always pass by, but never seem to visit.
EVERYTHING THEY KNOW
What happens to society when human beings are reduced to data points? What happens when our behavior, our movements, our relationships, and our obsessions are all tracked with near perfect precision? What happens when that information is indexed for the purpose of selling us products and influencing our political viewpoints all under the guise of “building community” and “making information free.” Well, look around. That’s the world you live in. Tech monopolies have built trillions of dollars of wealth watching and recording everything that you do in a day, building a database of YOU that’s so nuanced they can predict everything you’ll do next. Join Ari Andersen, a curious generalist, as he talks to data scientists, Internet pioneers, government officials, and various other people who understand what the heck is happening. If anything is going to change, first we have to understand what’s going on.
DRAFTED
Welcome to Drafted, where we, well, draft things. Join hosts Daniel Prentice and Preston Thompson as they and a guest try to assemble the best collection from the nerdiest and quirkiest realms of pop culture. Submit your ideas for future episodes to @draftedpod on Twitter or at DraftedPod@gmail.com
ROBBY'S WORLD
The purpose of our lives is to be happy. Each week (or so), join Robby Bancroft aka @therealrobbyb, proud member of the "lazy, entitled, and unreliable" millennial generation, as he interviews guests on their own pursuit of happiness. If you love your hometown, want to run your own business, or just want to hear some great life advice, then this is the podcast for you. Welcome to Robby's World!
FROM WHAT IF TO WHAT NEXT
If there was ever a time for fresh thinking, for being bold, for being visionary and imaginative – for reimagining everything – this is it. Each episode, writer and Transition Movement founder, Rob Hopkins, invites cutting edge thinkers to visualise a new future. Join us as we ask What If...
NOT (BLANK) ENOUGH
Candid conversations between host Grasie Mercedes and her guests exploring how it feels to be not (blank) enough. We dive deep into the lives of our guests and the root of their insecurities and discuss what good (or bad) has come from this view of themselves. Our goal is to provide a space where people can feel less alone.
MARGIN NOTES
Life on the margins, chapter by chapter. Join co-hosts Yen Eriksen and Zoya Patel as they explore a different theme each week and unpack it through the lens of race, feminism and identity. Season 1 dives into pop culture, food, travel, grief, chronic illness and queer identity, just to name a few things. Hosts: Yen Eriksen & Zoya Patel Producer: Kim Lester Theme music: Fossil Rabbit
GIVE IT TIME PODCAST
Welcome to the Give It Time Podcast! In our podcast, we interview unique and interesting people and discuss how they use their time at work, fun, or in service to others. We also go over how people have used their time in the past, as well as how they use their time today.
VILLAGE SQUARECAST
Village SquareCast is the podcast your mother warned you about. We talk politics, religion and race — across color, creed and ideology — and we do it like the partners in democracy that we really ought to be. At The Village Square, we've had hundreds of conversations with tens of thousands of people — and now we bring you our favorites of these conversations via podcast. We talk in bars, we talk in churches, we talk across a hundred continuous tables in the middle of a street downtown. And through all this talking, we've discovered something truly remarkable — people are hard to hate close up. Oh, and we really think civics ought not to be boring. We hope you'll join us.
