I enjoy a podcast or two, and i only see a few here i know, so heres a few favourites that i didn't see yet,

Battleground: Ukraine, podcast that was being started about historical battles at the same time as the march on Kyiv happened. They pivoted and have kept abrest of events weekly since then. Its been very valuable during times the rest of the media aren't covering it.

Age of Napoleon, an all time favourite, Everett Rummage is a well researched unassuming host. His excursion into the history of Haiti and its ties to the Napoleonic era is some of the best podcast hours i've ever spent.

Philosophize This, Stephen West is the happiest podcaster in a state that most philosophers would refer to as alive. He has gone through so many philosophers from all ages and gives them all a fair go.

Capitalisn't, Bethany Mclean and Luigi Zingales take an issue with the capital system today, interview an expert, and discuss.

Debunking Economics, Welcome to the mind of economist Steve Keen. The most heterodox economist kicking goals today. Slightly MMT but has some disagreements, and shines a new lense over the field of economics.

Dot Social, Interview Podcast for the fediverse curious. Don't know if anybody here would be interested in that kind of thing though...

Rest is Politics UK/US, both UK and US ones are great. These political current affairs podcasts are hosted by former political insiders. Their insights are valuable, even if you disagree with them. The podcasts motto is "disagree agreeably". Rory Stewart and Allastair Campbell's discussion on the Iraq War was an extremely poignant and honest moment and is well worth listening.

Climate Deniers Playbook, Same guy from Climate Town on YouTube, but even more annoying because he's right there in your ear holes telling you about all the ways Big Oil is going out of its way to fuck you, and specifically you, over.

The Tally Room, Ben Raue interviews a guest or two on Australasian elections. He analyses and discusses the electoral possibilities in upcoming elections, and historical electoral practices. This is not a politics podcast, its an election analysis podcast. Therefore he generally only strays into the policies of a certain party as it impacts on the electoral outcomes of the government area in question.

I hope theres some podcasts in there that interest people.
