If you love true crime, I absolutely recommend Sinisterhood! Amazingly funny hosts with great insights.

WTF with Marc Maron is a comedy podcast of interviews with comedians, actors, writers, and musicians. Theyβve hosted some great guests such as Cillian Murphy of Oppenheimer.

I really like The Lost Drivein if I just want to tune out and laugh, their movie review style is pretty entertaining
Omnibus, if forced to choose only one.

Love James and Jimmie on Small Town Murder. The amount of research that goes into each episode is absolutely insane for the pace that they pump out episodes, and those two dudes balance each other out well.
I especially admire how it never comes off as being disrespectful of the victims' stories, which is a common enough problem in the true crime genre that makes me steer clear of a lot of shows.
I'll have to check out the others listed! The rest are all new to me.
Dudesy is a new favorite along with Bad Friends
CodeSwitch Pop Culture Happy Hour Stuff You Should Know Stuff You missed in History Class Wait Wait Donβt Tell Me (more of a radio show but I like it anyway)
