For the past few years, we’ve published Best Podcast Episodes of the Year (So Far) lists, usually giving an overview of 50 noteworthy shows from the preceding six months. It poses an existential problem when December rolls around and the time comes to do the same all over again.
In that process, sometimes episodes get repeated and others fall off. Like the ranking from 50 to 1, it’s arbitrary in nearly every case. In past years, we’ve included the idea that the year-end and mid-year lists are companion pieces, not meant to be mutually exclusive but taken as a whole.
Taking a cue from an atypical calendar year, I had the idea to find a spiritual connection for each of the 50 shows from our mid-year check-in back in July. It wouldn’t negate the previous list and would hopefully provide a complementary perspective on what the second half of 2020 has had to offer.
