Lulu Miller Sings Her Favorite Podcasts Of The Year

The Invisibilia host called the Pod Line and gave us her top pods of the year...in song. [NPR] Not only is Lulu Miller a brilliant radio producer, but she's a very exuberant improvisational singer. John Poole/NPR This week is a rebroadcast for The Big Listen — we’re still coming down after the holiday buzz. Forgive us. But we have a VERY special treat we wanted to share with you. In the waning days of 2016, The Big Listen put out a request for folks to call our Pod Line with recommendations of their favorite podcasts of the year. We got a great response, but one voicemail really stood out. [Listen to this week's episode] Lulu Miller, friend of the show and host of NPR’s Invisibilia, called in with the most incredible recommendation. Well, 20 recommendations actually...done in song. It’s quite a feat of vocal improv and pretty hilarious to boot. It's kind of like "The Twelve Days of Christmas," but with an unscripted list of 20 podcasts. You owe it to yourself to [have a listen]. But if you can’t make it through the entirety of Lulu’s nearly seven-minute voicemail opus, here’s a handy list of all her suggestions: - [Love Me] - [Code Switch] - [Embedded] - [Snap Judgment] - [2 Dope Queens] - [Sooo Many White Guys] - [Alice Isn’t Dead] - [Homecoming] - [Reply All] - [This American Life] - [Radiolab] - [TED Radio Hour] - [On Being] - [Heavyweight] - [Undone] - [Nerdette] - [Strangers] - [New Yorker Fiction Podcast] - [Modern Love] - [In The Dark] If you want to be like Lulu and recommend your favorite podcasts, give us a shout on the Pod Line! The number is 202-885-POD1. We’d love to hear from you. And then we’d love to put you on the radio! Thanks for reading, friends! ‘Til next time…keep listening, America. --------------------------------------------------------------- Follow The Big Listen: [Facebook] [Facebook] [Twitter] [Twitter] This message was sent to {EMAIL} based on your NPR email subscriptions. | [Unsubscribe] | [NPR Privacy Policy] | NPR 1111 N.
