Perel demonstrates how to deal with these emotions by putting the root cause of relationship woes under a microscope. When mandated quarantining hit much of the world, so too did new feelings about isolation, marriage, moving, safety, and contro.
The psychotherapist and beloved podcaster Esther Perel arrived with Couples Under Lockdown at this year’s height of global panic. Gateway Episode: “ Prologue One: Community” Seen and Not Heard outlines the gaps in understanding between those who can and can’t hear-an excellent achievement for a show in any format, but especially one that relies on audio. Listeners will hear themselves in the people who fail her. Her family, her friends, and even a date resist repeating throwaway comments she doesn’t hear, and Bet becomes exasperated by the cumulative effect of being excluded so many times. Her decision to avoid group outings makes sense once you experience them from her perspective, including the muffled sounds of conversations she can’t make out. We experience Bet’s frustration in learning American Sign Language when no one else around her will. The show depicts her daily life, using the podcast form to explore how ableism manifests. Seen and Not Heard is a fictional story created by Caroline Mincks about Bet Kline, a woman who has almost entirely lost her hearing and is adjusting to her new reality. These stories captivated our minds and hearts when we needed them most. They will enlighten you, transport you, and distract you from the weight of the world with the weight of someone’s else’s world. We think you’ll enjoy these 50 shows no matter your situation in life right now. But answers weren’t as ample as questions, and the pursuit of a middle ground often proved to be a red herring. In some, people wanted to point a finger at someone or something. Entire plots centered on the attempt to reconcile different versions of reality.
They scrutinized sexual violence, financial chokeholds, abuses of power, the partisan divide, and vulnerabilities tied to race and gender. Creators analyzed lies and their taxonomy, their genesis, their purveyors, and their victims. Podcasters produced serious works about swindlers, con artists, and cheats. Many of these shows were in the works long before the virus started to spread. Shows produced later in the pandemic had an even higher bar to meet: They had to adapt to the new context and make listeners care, knowing what we’re facing and what we’ve lost. But if you wouldn’t want to revisit them today, they’re not on this list. Important podcasts made during March, April, and May relayed the latest guidance and stats or shared personal dispatches from frontline professionals. Some shows from the start of the year couldn’t hold our attention as the crisis wore on. We also had to contend with the challenges raised by the coronavirus pandemic. As with every year, we’ve recused ourselves from considering The Atlantic’s podcasts.) (We still considered existing podcasts that tackled entirely new premises or plots. So, of course, this year’s list is constrained by what we heard and by our requirement that all selections be newly released in 2020. Even if only half of those were active in 2020 we still couldn’t possibly hear them all, no matter how pathological our dedication to listening. Now, something like 1.5 million podcasts exist. Just five years ago we could address a fledgling podcastsphere with the 50 best episodes of the year-not shows. This year’s 50 Best came together a little differently than before.
