An Arm And A Leg Podcast
In what sector do we find the most hated companies? It used to be cable, airlines, or cell phone providers. However, as our health care system slowly collapses, the health insurance companies now wear the black hat. And deservedly so. How can a person or a company deny life-affirming care to a customer simply to save a buck?

It's A History Podcast
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication,” is a quote often attributed to Leonardo da Vinci. There’s wisdom in that statement. Sometimes, podcasts don’t need a noisy, complicated, and often fabricated premise to attract listeners. Recent podcast trends reveal high-concept, lowbrow shows that promise everything from judging the hotness of food to arguing about the seasonal effect of music albums.

Patented Podcast
The history podcast, Patented, is noteworthy for several reasons we will discuss in this article. First, it’s a history podcast that ran from early 2022 until September 2023 and released an impressive 158 episodes in that short time span. Why would Ear Worthy review and recommend a podcast that is no longer active? Because podcasts — especially independent podcasts — come and go with nary a peep from media, social media, or the podcast industry. Thousands of independent podcasts are no longer active and are still ear-worthy and a hidden sonic treasure.

Must See R.I.P. Podcast
Must See TV was an American advertising slogan used by the NBC network to brand its primetime blocks during the 1990s. It was most often applied to the network’s Thursday night lineup, which featured some of its most popular sitcoms and drama series of the period. This allowed the network to dominate prime time ratings on Thursday nights in the 1980s and 1990s. After ratings for NBC’s lineup fell during the mid-to-late 2000s, the slogan was retired in 2015 amidst NBC’s transition to airing more drama series on Thursday nights.
