Description

The hit narrative podcast Heavyweight by Jonathan Goldstein is back after being cancelled by Spotify a few years ago. Plus, Venus and Serena Williams jump into podcasting with their new show, Stockton Street, available exclusively on X.com. Elamin Abdelmahmoud chats with culture critic Nicholas Quah and author Jael Richardson about what these shows say about where we’re at with podcasting right now.


And, reporter Matilda Källén talks about Sweden's controversial list of 100 things that make up their cultural canon, which includes Pippi Longstocking and IKEA, but excludes ABBA and Swedish food.
