I'm looking to stock up on podcasts, whether in Mandarin, French or English. Don't worry about my tastes I'll sort it out later
But share good podcasts in other languages if you know any (it might be useful for other people)

Valley Heat. Great writing, hilarious.
I think most of the ones I usually mention in threads like this have been covered, but a glance through hasn’t shown me
I’ll admit that this one may take a minute to really get, but once it locks in you’ll love it forever.
It’s basically just an Irish author, comedian, and former rapper telling stories, talking about mental health (he also has a masters in psychology), and interviewing people. One week he’ll be interviewing a couple of lads about insects, the next he has Cillian Murphy on. Last week was an hour about how he ended up in an office canteen covered in black hair dye, holding a bag of lemons.
It’s a wonderful podcast hug every week, and I can’t recommend it enough.
I’ve enjoyed Blowback.
I don't listen to podcasts that much, but I am a big fan of the Lingthusiasm podcast. I was actually introduced to it by none other than Tom Scott (although he doesn't really host it himself).
QAA is best podcast of the times
Nobody Listens to Paula Poundstone: "... a podcast taking the fun of a late-night show, the wit of a public radio show, and the knowledge of a guest expert while setting the volume to the max." A great comedy podcast with great segments and great crew.
Therapy Gecko: a man in a gecko costume takes calls from people looking to chat, get advice, or vent( he's not a real therapist). Fun podcast to listen on on how other people around the world are doing.
Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!: The NPR News quiz! A gameshow where a panel of celebrities present the news of the week in a fun format.
The Antiquarium of Sinister Happenings: A mysterious shop that sells relics with chilling pasts. This podcast does a wonderful job of storytelling, with it's mix of great voice actors, ambience, and tales.
Korean True Crime by Mimi Mizicko: A shorter podcast that goes in depth with some of the more sickening crimes and tragedies in Korea. Mimi Mizicko does a great job contextualizing and framing the Korean culture surrounding the cases.
Lore by Aaron Mahnke: A podcast that explores the real-life lore of our world. Imagine a YouTube video essay that explains the lore of a fantasy world -- Now imagine that world is our world.
Distractible: Markiplier and friends make a podcast. Mark Fishbach, Wade Barnes, and Bob Muyskens share stories, insights, and antics from their lives.
Warriors in Their Own Words: "From archived tapes of WWI veterans to conversations with modern-day warriors, these are their own stories, in their own words." A podcast that shows us the unsanitized truth of war, from the very same people who have seen it.
Is there any podcasts that are interesting that isn't a cus her white guy?
