The Anti-Trans Hate Machine returns with a second series looking back at America’s record of violence toward transgender people. Plus: five of the best pop culture podcasts

One of the joys of podcasting is finding a show that has a beautiful way with language – the ability to conjure up phrases so evocative they transcend the medium. So it was a real pleasure this week to discover Bitter/Sweet, a podcast whose exploration of the relationship between food and our deepest memories sees host Natasha Miller use colourful phrases that fill your mind with visuals and even smells. From a reminiscence about lunch at her mother’s (“her cheery reception and soothing tone is a vocal caress that I lean into”), through to using food to process her parent’s death, because it can numb the “early, jagged, anxious phase of grief”, it’s a delight.
