Happy Media
What if you could take a media break and listen to something not as depressing, something that could even bring a smile to your face? It’s possible! From Mark Glaser, the publisher at MediaShift.
Goodnight
A bedtime playlist (that won’t send you to sleep), from Bec Fary of Sleeptalker.

Unexpected stories of connection, discovery and adventure that highlight the “chance” of meeting, from Bart Warshaw of Kismet.
Whhhaaa?

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?
