You need to find better podcasts to listen.

How? I’ve never figured it out.

Start with a topic you're interested in. For me it's movies so my weekly rotation is The Film Cast and The Big Picture for general contemporary movies. Then Blank Check, The Rewatchables and Unspooled for retrospective movies depending on which ones they're doing.

The trick is to start with your interests and start trying some stuff out. If you don't like a show, just bounce and try another. Eventually you'll find a selection of shows that works for you.

Other interest based podcasts in my rotation that I would recommend:

Music: Song Exploder, Switched on Pop, 60 Songs that Explain the 90s.

TV: The Watch, Prestige TV

Science: Twenty Thousand Hertz

Marketing: Under the Influence

Tech: Engadget, Vergecast

Videogames: DLC, Windbreaker

Curiosities: Search Engine, Decoder Ring
