• Looking for a podcast for a teenage girl living alone

  Articles of Interest, produced by Avery Trufelman, is wonderful and perfect for listening to on a walk. If you get addicted to her voice, she also narrated Nice Try, which someone else recommended here. I loved the first season of that one, about Utopias. You could even do a deep dive and listen to her episodes on 99% Invisible (their website has a great search function). 99PI is all around pretty good, for that... Source: over 1 year ago
