5 great podcasts to discover…

Welcome to the 215th edition of Find That Pod. As always, welcome new subscribers!

We have some amazing sponsors this week, but I wanted to tell you about one in particular, and that’s Castro - a truly amazing podcast listening app.

If you’re a heavy podcast listener like me, you’ll find that Castro is simply the best podcast app for organizing your podcast subscriptions. What I love  most about Castro (since I listen to a ridiculous # of podcasts as you can imagine), is that with their app, subscribing to a show isn’t a commitment to listen to every episode. You can add only the episodes you want in your queue and drag and drop to re-order whenever you like.

It’s honestly, a very good app that I think you should check out.

Magical Movie Marathon

Listen, I’m a huge Disney fan. And it’s not just because I’m a Dad… one of my favourite movies of all time is Wall-E. So when I came across this ridiculously awesome podcast, I was so happy that they decided to sponsor the newsletter. Here’s the story…

Once upon a time, Disney movie fans Christa and Jonathan decided to watch through the entire Disney Animated Canon and they’re inviting you to join the journey!

Starting with “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” they discuss what makes these movies so magical and connect them to the magical moments you can have on your next vacation. Along the way, they’ll mix in some other magical movies like the “Harry Potter” series, Pixar, and other family favorites.

HISTORY

Fiasco: The AIDS Crisis

The fifth season of Fiasco goes deep on the AIDS epidemic in America, with a special focus on the early years of the crisis, when a diagnosis was tantamount to a death sentence. The eight-part series looks at the mystery and missteps around identifying and treating a new, contagious disease, and what it took to get the public — and the government — to care.
