Matt & Alex
Long time radio partners Matt Okine and Alex Dyson deliver a fun daily podcast that's tight enough to fit in a short commute, but loose enough to regularly go off the rails. Topical enough to keep you informed, but silly enough to escape the doomscroll. Deep enough to touch on serious topics, but shallow enough to not get your wheels bogged. Whether it's partners or parodies, news or nostalgia, come and feel the warm embrace of two friend's who are the audio equivalent of Ying and Yang.

The Curiosity Shop with Brené Brown and Adam Grant
Research professor Brené Brown and organizational psychologist Adam Grant are partnering on a new weekly podcast grounded in an unflinching commitment to learning and unlearning.

Bringing together their left and right brain sensibilities — she’s a qualitative researcher; he’s a quantitative researcher — they will explore some of the defining questions of our time, unpack the research reshaping how we live, lead, and love, and dive deep into the ideas, evidence, and cultural moments intriguing them the most. New episodes drop every Thursday starting March 19. Part of the Vox Media Podcast Network.
