WDR Zeitzeichen
This daily podcast (feed) discusses historic events, usually motivated by anniversaries.
It’s well produced and the content is a nice mix of old and more recent events. Some of the latest episodes I listened to:
- Das Betriebsrätegesetz wird beschlossen (am 18.1.1920)
- Biafrakrieg endet (am 15.1.1970)
- Ersatzdienstgesetz wird verkündet (am 13.1.1960)
- Gründung der Partei “Die Grünen” (am 12.1.1980)
HackerNewsletter
This newsletter contains a weekly summary of the top stories on Hacker News. It allows to keep in the loop without checking the page every day. The layout is also much more reader-friendly than the standard one on hackernews.
