I’ve been really enjoying “The Grey Nato” lately; very watch-centric but good adventure/gear talk.

The Presidents Daily Brief:
Excellent podcast by a for CIA officer

For those interested, there's a new 'bible in a year' podcast that's been put out by Fr. Mike Schmidt. He's a popular and affable middle-of-the-road priest and I expect good commentary without the intellectualism you'd get if someone like Barron or William Lane Craig did it. He's teamed up with Jeff Cavins and is using his excellent timeline as a structure, which is an exceptionally good way to understand in particular the old testament; at the same time, I'd rather listen to Schmidt than Cavins.

Getting the bible read is something everyone should aspire to, regardless of your position on its contents; it is the most influential and referenced work in the history of literature, and it is a commonality of thought that covers most of the western world (living and dead).

I'll listen to an ep or two and update this if it's a loser, but it should be worth your time if you've got a commute (which is a weird concept these days).

Of course if you'd like it without the commentary, Johnny Cash reads the King James Version of the New Testament -- easy to dig up as an audiobook and a lot of fun. If you're only a little interested, dig on him reading the Gospel of John sometime. Heavy metal.

As a follow up, I did the whole thing last year, and it was very good. I have repeated some sections this year. I underestimated Schmidt by calling him middle of the road — not so much, see the commentary on John 6 — but I was dead right about affable. Must listen for pretty much anybody, and makes a good topic for a weekly men’s group as it turns out.

This is a good podcast put out a month or so ago on the background and history of Xi Jinping: The Prince: Searching for Xi Jinping. It's 8 parts plus a bonus episode and each episode is 30-40 minutes.

I found it on Spotify but it looks like it's on a other platforms as well.

Over the past few months I've been enjoying Conflicted: A History Podcast

The 4 part series on the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the aftermath (Ghosts in the Mountains: The Soviet-Afghan War – Part 1) is great as is the 6 part series he just wrapped up on the partition of India that resulted in the creation of Pakistan (The Partition of India – Part 1: End of Empire )

i wound listening to the whole thing, sometimes day after day, and sometimes getting behind and then catching up on road trips. It was complete within ‘21 and was rebroadcast as it were in ‘22; I didn’t listen through but re-listened to specific things, probably about 25% of the work.

obviously I thought it was worth my time. The commentary was excellent, ‘middle of the road’ but relatable and often profound.

this year Schmitz is doing the Catechism. I have been with it daily and it’s delivering. If you want to know what most Christians believe, it’s documented here.

Any comedy/humor recommendations that my wife and I can listen to on our 5 mile ambles?
