Thoughtful Casts

It's the basic premise of @StrongTowns . Strong towns are dense. Weak towns are sprawling. Strong towns are stable. Weak towns are ponzi schemes. If you want good services AND lower taxes, there is only one path. This is the way.

More proof that science/engineering and music are two sides of the same coin, from ⁦@EricRWeinstein⁩ overcast.fm/+TYXIVVCdE

Superb personal story of the racial struggles when crossing usual hobby lines overcast.fm/+GLp0-7rW4

@20korg Seeing as how inflicting harm with sound is likely more expensive than other means, I don’t see an ethical or moral risk here. Pursue and share knowledge.

@kianakashae The only problem with podcasts is we don’t have infinite time to listen to all of them. Here’s my short list: @99piorg @CadencePodcast @EconTalker @CrazyGoodTurns @DecodeDC @apmreports @Freakonomics @Gastropodcast @ScottCarrier57 @BBCInOurTime @InAppalachia @IQ2US …

I need some podcast recommendations 👀

@OvercastFM Awesome, thanks! FYI, I’d love an optional global storage cap that dynamically reduces per-podcast limits. When I get behind, storage used by Overcast spikes which can take up all available space on my phone and then things get really screwy.

Perfect technical higher ed advice from ⁦@TheAmpHour⁩ conversations

On unique and creative playground designs, and how they have been curtailed. overcast.fm/+DCAS07Y

Emotions run high when raising children. Take a breath, look at the data, and make the best decisions you can. ⁦@ProfEmilyOster⁩ with ⁦@EconTalker⁩ overcast.fm/+JB89vPM

The origins of learning: play and imagination. ⁦@99piorg⁩ takes a historical look at the toys of education.

.@EricKlinenberg on building and maintaining social infrastructure to foster relationships that make our communities flourish. @StrongTowns

@OvercastFM Can I share the overcast link to an already played episode without playing it again? The share link from the podcast detail screen (not now playing screen) seems to point to the producer’s episode URL instead of the Overcast ‘listen’ URL.

A superb primer on the changing economics and design of recycling, from ⁦@99piorg⁩ overcast.fm/+DDnnmng

@OvercastFM any known issues in sorting playlists? Seems like oldest → newest leaves some new ones on top of the list.

If you didn’t yet listen to #CaliphatePodcast the whole miniseries is worth a weekend. overcast.fm/+MQW41wKjY

@20korg While I want iTunes music in ALAC, a better step for podcasts is fully supported VBR on iOS. Storage doesn’t matter on my home PC iTunes library. It does for mobile device podcasts. Unless this radar is resolved, @marcoarment ? marco.org/2016/08/15/vbr…

You think you know silence until you experience it. ⁦@20korg⁩ uses sound to explain the lack of sound. For a surreal natural silence, check out deserts in the winter, like the Chihuahuan desert in ⁦@BigBendNPS⁩ overcast.fm/+HhScyGIt4
