In this article, I offer three "couldn't be different" podcasts -- all with at least one quality to make them ear worthy. I have high hopes that Conversations With Unc is more than just blah-blah-blah because of Comedian Lil Duval.
Emotional Inve$tment is a new twelve-part podcast diving into the intrinsic
connection between money and mental health. The show sounds fascinating. Sadly, it's behind Audible's paywall. If you have a subscription, want to try a free trial, or can use someone else's account, you can listen and I recommend it.
Mission Implausible from iHeart takes on one of the great mysteries of the world -- Havana Syndrome. It's a puzzle with more questions than answers. Plus, it's red meat for conspiracy theorists who are still waiting for Q to come down from on high.

The Black Effect Podcast Network and Comedian Lil Duval announced Conversations With Unc a limited series podcast that will feature casual and in-depth talks about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness from an Uncle’s perspective. In the new podcast, the comedian will tap into his more sensitive and serious side to offer wisdom, advice and words of encouragement to his new and old celebrity friends.
Unlike his work on stage, the new limited podcast series will tap into Duval’s more serious and sensitive side to give advice on the ebbs and flows of life.
Last month, iHeart and Charlamagne Tha God’s The Black Effect Podcast Network announced “Money
and Wealth with John Hope Bryant,” a new weekly podcast about
financial wellness and developing a wealth mindset. In each episode,
Bryant unpacks the issues of the day, provide practical advice on
how listeners can improve their current financial position
and learn how to create personal wealth for themselves and their
families.
“We all need moments of laughter, but we also crave spaces for growth and reflection,” said Dollie S. Bishop, President of Creative Development and Production, The Black Effect Podcast Network. “Our new podcast, ‘Conversations with Unc’ will blend humor with wisdom and offer unique stories and advice in ways that resonate beyond the punchline. We’re excited to collaborate with Lil Duval on this new series, and even more excited to see how these conversations will uplift and encourage listeners.”
In episode one, Lil Duval will sit down with rising artist Big Boss Vette to discuss her near-death experience, her journey into music and attaining happiness beyond money and more.

I hate that you have to sign up for a subscription to listen to an excellent podcast like this one, but I have to hand it to Audible. The company is smart enough to understand that podcasts can have an adhesive quality that can motivate listeners to subscribe to its service.
Emotional Inve$tment, a new twelve-part Audible Original podcast diving into the intrinsic connection between money and mental health, premiered on April 4th, on Audible from the audio-first entertainment company Fresh Produce Media. Therapist turned financial wellness coach Amanda Clayman hosts, delving into personal stories from real people working through real money dilemmas.
Though money touches every conceivable aspect of our lives, we still live in a world where money issues are private. Given this cultural taboo, most of the time we have no idea how other people approach this part of their lives. From salary insecurity between partners, to the connection between emotional eating and impulsive spending, during this twelve-part series of listen-in intimate conversations, Clayman unpacks it all and offers practical advice.
Amanda Clayman said, "I went into the mental health field specifically to work with people around their relationships with money. In my twenty years of experience in the field, I’ve seen how financial issues can surface some of the deepest, thorniest, most personal dilemmas we face. Emotional Inve$tment is my dream show, and it is a privilege to bring compassion and clarity to this often misunderstood dimension of our human experience."
Featured in this series:
● Stella and Lucas fell in love and got married young. Now, Lucas manages a grocery store while Stella works a high-stress, high-paying corporate job. Clayman helps the couple talk through Stella’s desire for a postnuptial agreement.
● Melvin became a successful entrepreneur in his 20s. Now, he finds that the stress of supporting his family while dealing with the precarity of a small business is bringing up feelings and decisions he was unprepared for.
● Samantha, a social worker, nurtures herself with spending, while carrying a crushing burden of student loan debt. Can she find financial stability without losing her joy?
● Danny decided to retire early from his job as a firefighter—then fell in love with someone he’d like to be able to support financially. Clayman works with Danny and his partner Osmer to talk through Danny’s feelings of shame and resentment.
● Louie is a community organizer who is comfortable helping other people but terrified to receive help themselves—or even to really look at their own financial situation. Clayman helps Louie figure out where to start.
The podcast sounds terrific. The nice part about Audible is that canceling is easy.

Listen to the latest episode of iHeartPodcasts’ investigative series Mission Implausible, hosted by two former high-level CIA operatives who use their expertise and insights to explore and dissect the world’s most baffling conspiracy theories.
This week, the hosts launched a two-part exploration into the mysterious Havana Syndrome illness. This mysterious condition has caused a tidal wave of speculation and misinformation.
Mission Implausible is hosted by John Sipher and Jerry O’Shea, along with New Yorker and Planet Money journalist Adam Davidson. John Sipher retired in 2014 after a 28-year career in the Central Intelligence Agency’s National Clandestine Service. He is the recipient of the Distinguished Career Intelligence Medal.
Jerry O’Shea worked undercover as an operations officer for over three decades. A four-time Chief of Station running some of CIA’s largest and most critical missions abroad, he has relished the challenge of service to a greater good in the gray, blurred, and bleary borderlands between good and evil, right and wrong.
It's too bad it's audio only because if it had video maybe Tom Cruise would ride a motorcycle off a cliff like in Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning. I wonder if Sipher and O'Shea would consider that.
