Danielle LaPorte listens deeply — and 4 more great listens for your week

Five things to hear this week

When did you last have a “driveway moment” with a podcast? Were you riveted by a comedian on a roll? Spellbound by a story nearing its climax? Perhaps you were transfixed by a heated discussion, or an engrossing soundscape? This week’s playlists are sure to provide you with at least one driveway moment, if not several.


Danielle LaPorte: Deeper Melodies

How does genius emerge? Author Danielle LaPorte’s playlist digs into the creative process and the meaning in the art.

Jody Avirgan: Unnarrated

Can a story tell itself? FiveThirtyEight’s Jody Avirgan thinks so — and these episodes without a central narrator… well, they speak for themselves.

Jody Avirgan is the host of the FiveThirtyEight politics podcast. His next venture is a series of sports-related audio docs under the “30 for 30” umbrella, coming spring 2017. This playlist is presented in collaboration with PRX’s Five Things — a salon-like series at the PRX Podcast Garage, where JULIE SHAPIRO talks to interesting people like Jody about cool stuff they love.
