Worth Listening To
This is the only podcast I listen to that has insights that I actually end up applying to my own life. Many podcasts give advice, but none else have prompted me to make real positive changes that stick. At the beginning of the podcast’s run, Cal mostly just answered questions from listeners and readers of his blog. In the last year or so, he has changed the format, for the better imo. He starts with a discussion of a particular topic, then answers questions he has prepared before the show that tie into that main theme. (And then at the end he talks about something unrelated that he finds interesting.) This has added more variety to the show, and more importantly, allows ideas to develop across episodes. The show promotes a way of life called the Deep Life, which is the central idea around which most or all of the themes orbit. I find that listening to the podcast regularly helps keep this way of life top of mind, no matter what the theme of the day is. As for the jokes, I find them endearing.
