"There are so many essential podcasts that break through the noise with incredible sound design; both Radiolab and Song Exploder, for example, nearly made my list. But Twenty Thousand Hertz made the cut because I believe it could only exist as an audio podcast, while the other shows could also work on TV. Every time I listen to the show, I am pleasantly delighted by at least one editing choice, and usually more — and the stories are fascinating, too."
