I have worked professionally in podcasting for over a decade, and I think it’s helpful to know what other people in my field are up to. So I do my best to at least sample any podcast I am recommended, and as a result I am currently subscribed (this is not a joke or exaggeration) to over one hundred shows. Any downtime I have, I’ll throw on a podcast. My wife says that my headphones are how I interact with the world. Anyway, I’ve listened to countless hours of podcasts this year, and these ones are my favorite.
Here is where I should mention that this year my Night Vale co-creator and I came out with the first podcast we’ve created together since Welcome to Night Vale back in 2012. It’s called Unlicensed, and it’s a LA noir detective story set in the fringes of...

For the past few years, we’ve published Best Podcast Episodes of the Year (So Far) lists, usually giving an overview of 50 noteworthy shows from the preceding six months. It poses an existential problem when December rolls around and the time comes to do the same all over again.
In that process, sometimes episodes get repeated and others fall off. Like the ranking from 50 to 1, it’s arbitrary in nearly every case. In past years, we’ve included the idea that the year-end and mid-year lists are companion pieces, not meant to be mutually exclusive but taken as a whole.
Taking a cue from an atypical calendar year, I had the idea to find a spiritual connection for each of the 50 shows from our mid-year check-in back in July. It wouldn’t negate the previous list and would hopefully provide a complementary perspective on what the second half of 2020 has had to offer.

Harvey Keitel will star as notorious gangster Meyer Lansky, a contemporary of Bugsy Siegel, in a biopic directed by Eytan Rockaway. Sam Worthington, Emory Cohen and Austin Stowell are also set to star in the picture, with Alexandra Daddario and Tony Danza in talks to join.
Voltage Pictures has boarded the project and hopes to spark international sales at Cannes. Rockaway wrote the script from a story by Ido Fluk and Sharon Mashihi, partially based on interviews with the real-life Lansky conducted by Rockaway’s father, history professor Robert Rockaway.
The film centers on an aging Lansky living in anonymity in Miami Beach after being investigated and pursued for decades by the FBI.
