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!

Service Request - Boston Podcast Brunch Club
Serafina's, 11 Fan Pier Boulevard,, Boston, MA, USA city is deceptively simple. You flip a switch, and the lights come on. You turn a faucet, and water flows. You tap “buy,” and a package lands at your door. Usually, we don’t think about how these systems work, who keeps them running, or how we interact with them…it all feels effortless. But behind each of those ordinary moments are invisible systems and the people who keep them running.
From 99% Invisible and Campside Media, Service Request is a new series that starts small: a call to 311, a traffic jam, a single flipped switch. We then zoom out, tracing that moment through the networks that keep a city running. Once you see the system, you’ll understand your city, and how to navigate it, in a whole new way.
Service Request is hosted by Delaney Hall. Listen to the series here or wherever you get 99% Invisible.7 attendees
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.
