The Doughboys - a podcast where they review chain restaurants (fast food to fast casual to high end chains). The hosts (Nick Wiger and Mike Mitchell, comedians) have a love-hate relationship that makes it so fun and real. And their guests are the best.

Dungeons of Drakkenheim, the most enjoyable D&D 5e live play campaign out there.
Skeptics guide to the universe
- 99% Invisible (Roman Mars)
- Slate Star Codex (narrated form of Scott Alexander's Astral Codex Ten column)
- Jack Rhysider - Darknet Diaries
- Maggie Killjoy - Cool people who did Cool Stuff
- Cory Doctorow's podcast
- Jennifer Briney - Congressional Dish
- Lex Fridman
the first three are all tightly scripted storytelling: generally non-fiction, but exciting or interesting. sorted by general audience -> niche audience.
the next three edge into political territory, sorted from politically-adjacent to 100% political (not punditry):
- Maggie's focuses on telling history. but she's self-described anarchist and it bleeds.
- Cory's is a narrated form of his blog. usually the overlap between tech & national policy.
- Congressional Dish is literally Jen watching hours of C-SPAN and reading 1000's of pages of text from bills to give actual deep-dives into congressional happenings.
Lex Fridman is if Joe Rogan was hosted by someone who actually did his research upfront, planned out his questions, and chose guests that are less divisive, and more academic or entrepreneurial.
if you listen to any of these, please leave a recommendation for something similar you think i would like! β€οΈ
I Said No Gifts - nice, low-key conversations with funny people, great format.
Midnight Burger - wonderful sci-fi story that draws from lots of material, pretty funny, great cast and production.
No Such Thing as a Fish - 4 hosts discuss interesting facts in what's often equally as hilarious as it is informative.
Bananas - 2 funny dudes discuss weird or funny news headlines.
These are all good, light-hearted podcasts for when you want something a bit softer to listen to :)
Beauch87's summary episodes of my favorite show, "Are You Afraid Of The Dark?", if that's considered a podcast (it is definitely episodic, it's just that the episodes aren't really dropped on a regular schedule). Just realized he dropped season 1 and 2 reviews last year and I completely missed it. Got hours of listening material to go.
High Rollers(DnD), Behind the Bastards, The Other States of America, The Daily Zeitgeist, History Unplugged, Empire
High rollers! I've been meaning to listen to that, mostly because I'm a big hat films fan. Is there a good starting point?
Honestly I'd start at the beginning, it's quite a fun story and I feel like a lot won't make sense if you dive into the middle. I'm a little more than halfway through. I first listened to Rouges Gambit and after that campaign was over I ended up getting really into the Aerois campaign.

The War on Cars
At the moment, the Dollop and Behind the bastards are my mainstays. Both are as excellent and funny as they are depressing.
Special shout out to Case File, Behind the Bastards, Criminal, Moth Radio Hour
The 13th Step - limited series, investigative journalism covering sexual misconduct in addiction recovery.
Stuff the British Stole - stories about the shittiness of British colonialism.
Small Town Murder! Two comedians talk about a murder that happens in a small town. Super excited to see them live in a couple weeks!
Behind the Bastards (weird/interesting historical shitheads; usually, they did one on Musk and the Submarine Guy)
The Dogg Zzone (if you read Cracked back in the day, two of the main writers, plus guests)
Stuff You Should Know (Stuff. You should know.)
The Dollop (More weird historical shitheads, and sometimes good stuff??)
My Brother, My Brother, and Me (because i'm a basic removed and love dick jokes)
Distractible (also because i'm a basic removed and love dick jokes)
The Dollop episode on Ronald Reagan (2 parter, number 400 I think?) should be required listening for everyone.
I mainly listen to the Lateral podcast/gameshow hosted by Tom Scott.

60 Songs That Explain the 90s An excellent host covers a wide variety of tracks from the 90s and the culture surrounding it. I recommend finding a track that interests you and giving the whole episode a listen. Any subject he starts on winds up wrapping into the main subject really well.

With Gourley and Rust An βeasy listeningβ horror podcast that does seasons around a certain franchise/sub-genre with two of the most pleasant folks to host a podcast together.
I'm currently working my way thru prehistory season of Tides of History by Patrick Wyman (Fall of the Roman Empire guy). Came out in 2020, and I'm really enjoying the detail it goes into.
Thirty Twenty Ten is great if you want to hear people talk about old pop culture stuff. Every week they will go through all the movies and tv shows and music and other stuff that was happening that same week thirty, twenty, and ten years ago.
- Tech Won't Save Us
- Congressional Dish
- Breaking Points
A few others that are sometimes good and sometimes not, but these are ones everyone should hear!
- The Big Picture
- The Rewatchables
- Locked On NFL Scouting
- ScienceVs
- No Stupid Questions
Wine About It - Two streamers talking about their personal experiences and just having fun Wave Form - MKBHDβs podcast where he talks all things tech with the crew
Wrong Station: Episodic horror podcast based out of Canada. Very well written and superbly well acted. The only podcast I actively subscribe to the patreon of.
Nextlander Podcast: Gaming podcast from 3 of the founding members of Giant Bomb (Vinny, Alex, and Brad).
The Jimmy Dore Show: Comedy/politics talk show. I don't actually agree with his political takes 100% of the time, but that is more interesting than listening to somebody who always agrees with me.
Currently 2, but unfortunately for (almost) everyone here they are both Dutch .
One is a daily news podcast where journalists and/or experts talk about something that is relevant right now. Every episode is 20-30 minutes and features a single topic. Today it was about the NATO leadership. Who could be the next leader, how is it decided and stuff like that. Yesterday about a national political party, the day before about Wagner's shenanigans on Saturday.
The other is a weekly 40 minute podcast about the war in Ukraine. There is a host and 2 former generals, one of them used to be the commander of the Dutch army. Every week they talk about what happened, why it happened and how it happened. They also have a certain topic that they talk about from their own experience or what they are seeing Ukraine right now. Like how tanks are best used, what the west can realistically (also factor in politics) do and how western militaries would respond so something like what Wagner did. Because they don't have to prove to anyone which side they are on, they can be honest and realistic. It makes a lot of news and opinions shared online look even more stupid.
- Levar Burton Reads - good short stories (today "D.P." by Kurt Vonnegut)
- Behind the Bastards this week: Stockton Rush, inventor of the Deathsub
- The Infinite Monkey Cage
- Evil Genius with Russell Kane (BBC) - last week, David Bowie... was he a genius, or simply evil?
- Something Rhymes with Purple - Fascinating look at English language.
- Drama of the Week (BBC) - occasionally brilliant plays.
- Desert Island Disks - Good when doing chores.
- No Dumb Questions
- World's Greatest Con
- Saftey Third
These are my favorites

Good job putting in links, should've done that on mine. Haven't listened to AoM in a while
For people who like interesting sci-fi stuff: woe.begone (time travel and alternate realities), Lost Terminal (AI, asmr-like), Midnight Burger (I dunno how to describe it but it's ingenious and hilarious).
Currently I really like rest is politics-leading. Interviews with different kinds of people bringing interesting perspectives.
Matt and Shaneβs Secret Podcast The Adam Friedland Show
I cant get into Cumtown without Stavros. If it was just the Nick Mullen show Id be all in. Maybe i should give it another shot.
Bein Ian w/ Jordan has been good. Stavieβs new pod is good too.
I got fascinated by the Supreme Court and that led me to a lot of political and law podcasts. I am notably not a lawyer so I donβt know why Iβm doing so many.
5-4 ALAB (if they ever post) pod save America pod save the world sawbones
