Sean Bean's foray into birdwatching has taken flight on a new podcast that combines his love of nature with his acting background. In the first episode, Sean chats with fellow bird enthusiast Guy Garvey about his experiences spotting various species while working abroad and the meditative joy he finds in watching birds. The relaxed conversation offers a glimpse into Sean's lesser-known passion outside of acting.
On another note, a one-off special podcast revisits the short-lived but influential platform Vine, which was shut down back in 2016. This episode attempts to revive interest in Vine by exploring how its previous episodes could have helped bring it back from the dead. The guest, Evan Henshaw-Plath, is setting up an anti-AI version of Vine that aims to address the flaws of modern social media.
If you're in the mood for something more offbeat, Love + Radio has a new episode called Blood Memory that delves into true crime. Host Nick van der Kolk interviews Michael Thompson, a former member of a prison gang who testified against his former comrades. But is he telling the truth, or is there more to the story?
Lastly, Pushkin Industries' Valley of Shadows is an in-depth investigation into a mysterious disappearance. Jon Aujay went missing in 1998 while on a work trip in the Mojave desert, and some question why his employer ended the search so quickly.
A new podcast from iHeart and Goldhawk also delves into the ex-gay movement and its leaders, including John Paulk. The podcast offers an unflinching look at the complexities of conversion therapy and its impact on individuals who underwent it.

! I mean, who knew Sean Bean had a thing for birdwatching? That sounds like some chill vibes to me 
. And that episode about Vine is so nostalgic - I remember using it back in the day 
. It's crazy to think how things could've been different if they'd kept it alive. Evan Henshaw-Plath's idea for an anti-AI version of Vine is actually kinda cool, like a reset button for social media 
.
. And Blood Memory is giving me major chills - I don't know what's more terrifying, Michael Thompson's story or the fact that we still need podcasts like this today 
. Valley of Shadows sounds like a real mystery - did they ever find out what happened to Jon Aujay? 
I mean, I can get why he'd be into it, acting requires so much focus and attention to detail, maybe that's just something he's naturally good at? But still, I wouldn't have thought of him as the type to pick up binoculars on his next vacation. Does anyone else listen to these podcasts? Are they any good? 
I'm literally soooo hyped 4 this new Sean Bean podcast!!! I mean i know he's a actor but birdwatching??!! 
and now he gets to chat w/ Guy Garvey about it? yessss please! 
. But what's up with the revival of Vine? Can't help but wonder if they really could've done it differently 
On a more serious note, those true crime and disappearance episodes sound super intense 
.
I know some people think they're bringing it back, but let's be real, AI is just gonna make it harder to revive. Evan Henshaw-Plath's idea sounds cool and all, but has he actually done the research on how to address social media's flaws? Asking for a friend... 
.
I've always been curious about Sean Bean's new birdwatching podcast and it sounds like it's really taken off 
. It's crazy to think about how it was shut down, but Evan Henshaw-Plath's idea of creating an anti-AI version sounds really interesting. Maybe we can learn from its flaws and make social media better for everyone?
