Podcast Recommendations for the week of July 14, 2025

I can't get "Bella Ciao" out of my head now

Hey friends! If you don’t follow me on LinkedIn, then you might have missed this: I’m producing a new podcast about the history & future of social media, and we launched this week!

The show is Revolution.Social, and it’s hosted by Twitter’s first employee, Rabble (a.k.a. Evan Henshaw-Plath), who holds the distinction of being the person who hired Jack Dorsey. So, it was only fitting that Rabble kicked off their podcast by interviewing Jack about selling Twitter, why he left Bluesky, and everything he’s been doing since the Elon drama began.

A couple shoutouts before we get to the podcast recs: First, to Alice Chan from Flock Marketing for bringing me in on Revolution.Social and for being a superb partner behind the scenes; and second, to James Cridland for featuring the show yesterday in Podnews ... and for posting the trailer on NewPodcasts.net, which has become one of my favorite ways to discover new podcasts.

I’m really excited about this one, in case you can’t tell. Future guests include Kara Swisher, Taylor Lorenz, Yoel Roth, and more, so go give it a listen … or watch the show on YouTube.

When I haven't been editing those interviews though, here's what else I've been working on and listening to this week ...
