About us
It's like a book club but for podcasts! We meet monthly at local restaurants to discuss this month's playlist, which is 5-7 episodes curated around a theme. See our events for upcoming meetings!
What to expect:
1.- Before the meeting, find time to listen to the playlist.
2.- At the meeting, there will be a sign that makes it easy to find us. Come by yourself or with friends, and be ready to have a discussion! First-timers and add-ons are encouraged to attend, as are folks we haven't seen in a while.
3.- We always make time to share our current faves, so be prepared to go home with a list of must-listens.
4.- The best way to stay informed is through our mailing list. Sign up here: https://podcastbrunchclub.com/boston/
Happy Listening
If you can't get to the playlist, you are absolutely still invited and encouraged to attend our events. There is always something to talk about!

Hidden Levels - Boston Podcast Brunch Club
Batifol, 291 Third St, Cambridge, MA, US99% Invisible and WBUR’s Endless Thread team up for Hidden Levels, a six-part series about how video games left the arcade and started reshaping the real world. These stories go beyond high scores and consoles, tracing how a joystick became the bridge between people and machines, how a Chicago basketball game turned into a cultural phenomenon, and how the Army built its own first-person shooter to reach new recruits.
The main series runs across both podcast feeds, with extra “side quest” episodes on Endless Thread. Whether you are a lifelong gamer or have never picked up a controller, Hidden Levels uncovers how games have quietly changed culture, technology, and the way we see the world.
Hidden Levels was created by Ben Brock Johnson and hosted by Roman Mars and Ben Brock Johnson. You can find Hidden Levels here or in the 99% Invisible and the Endless Thread feed on SiriusXM, Pandora, or wherever you get your podcasts.

THE MAKING OF - Boston Podcast Brunch Club
Alcove, 50 Lovejoy Wharf, Boston, MA, USEach episode in this playlist gives us a glimpse into the making of various curious pieces of media: a true crime podcast that was supposed to be a true crime book, a piece of mass-produced wall art, a sure-fire rockumentary hit that no one will ever see, an iconic song, and more. Making art is one of the most fundamental human impulses, and each of these stories explores how that impulse can delight, inspire, or destroy the artist.
You can find the playlist in ListenNotes and Spotify.

MONEY TRAUMA - Boston Podcast Brunch Club
Alden & Harlow, 40 Brattle St #3, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA, Cambridge, MA, US3 out of 4 Gen-Zs and Millennials have PTSD-like symptoms caused by financially induced stress. Mental health and trauma have gotten more into the mainstream, and yet we don’t apply the same lens to money.
Money Trauma is a six part podcast mini-series that challenges the idea that money behaviours are a purely rational topic. It uncovers commonly referred to economic experiences like financial stress, gambling, wealth accumulation and impulsive spending from a trauma-informed and social perspective - something that has never been done before with the topic. Follow researcher and facilitator Miho Soon and award-winning audio producers Phoebe McIndoe and Marta Medvesek on a journey all over the world speaking to experts about how these stories contradict the real experience people have psychologically and socially - and who ends up benefitting from these stories.
