Five things to hear this week
As the U.S. prepares to swear in a new President, we’re alternating between immersing ourselves in all things political and historic, and escaping into the things that bring us private joy and human connection. Whichever you prefer, we’ve got podcast playlists that’ll take you to your happy place.
If you have the RadioPublic app installed (iOS | Android), open these playlists on mobile to launch RadioPublic, listen now or follow to listen later.

The backstory: Every week at RadioPublic, we highlight a new set of hand-curated #PodcastPlaylists — think old-school mix tape, but for podcast episodes. Some share a theme, and others are a selection of favorites from tastemakers like authors, podcast hosts, and publications. Want to be the first to hear when new playlists are available?
