The Podcaster's Guide to the Robot Apocalyse

2017-06-14T00:53:15Z

For the entire month of March and most of April, I was embroiled in a bitter battle that pitted me against man, robot, and my own stupidity and capacity for resilience. The long story takes over 40 minutes, both hands, and at least a glass of wine to tell. The short story is that I had to stare and watch robots do a job that was supposed to mean I was free to do the rest of my job for many, many hours a week.

In normal lab circumstances, I listen to music and sing along if no one's around. However, these were extreme circumstances and I quickly become aware that music alone would not keep my sanity intact. Enter podcasts. I already knew a small handful of podcasts from the greatest hits of my previously 4-hour daily commute (also known as The Dark Days or the Year of 150 Books). But as I said before, these were extreme circumstances and I needed more than the brief backlog I had left myself from those days.

So, without further ado, the list of podcasts that kept me sane and that I recommend to you. This is not a comprehensive list of the apocalypse - I vetted many podcasts and some did not make the subscription cut and others I recommend at the end with caveats. But I enjoyed these and I hope you will too!

( an entirely non-comprehensive list of keeping myself sane )
