Unlike most suburban Gen X women, Melynda Shamie's introduction to podcasts was not 'Serial' or even true crime. She'll be here every Monday with a rundown of what she's listening to, and hopefully introducing you to some new favorites.
Unlike most suburban Gen X women, my introduction to podcasts was not"Serial" or even true crime.
But like everything else, that changed when the pandemic rolled around. In the six months beforehand, I'd had two surgeries; I was doing absolutely fine, but my activities were limited for quite a while after, as you might expect. Then, lockdown. UGH. by signing up you agree to our terms of service This is where podcasts saved the day . My friend Andy King runs"Aux Audio," a Chicago-based podcast network, and Aux had just launched a show that particularly interested me: It was hosted by the singer of a local indie band I love, interviewing folks from other local indie bands. I'll be talking more in depth about that show in next week's column, but the first week's guest was a singer of a band I was obsessed with.
I once heard podcasts described as spending time with your smartest, best friends, and that's kind of what it's become for me. Comforting, often educational, always interesting. I hope I can introduce you to some of your future favorites here, particularly those produced locally, with significant local ties, or telling suburban stories.
