Ologies | Alie Ward

This rec came to me from my seedy-bread-obsessed bff (see rec for Danish Bread) and I thank her for it often.

Alie Ward is a delight and laugh-out-loud funny with her set-ups, side commentary and sound effects. Meanwhile, I learn so much about whatever "ology" is on deck with these expert-led deep dives about practically everything from Otters to ADHD to Revolutions and Social Change. Special shout out to the Fromology ep (cheese), which had me giggling non-stop.

"Smologies" for kids is also an utterly brilliant off-shoot of the main thing. Smol or large, Ologies is a great family listen on a long car trip or a welcome break from anything news or politics.
