*Stuff you should know" is a fun podcast, two guys go over a random topic.

They aren't experts in anything, but it's fun to hear them try to explain what they've learned about everything from how cranes work to darker things like the Tulsa race riots.

Last Podcast on the Left is my go to for true crime and paranormal related topics.

All of the "The Rest is..." Podcasts are great that I've heard- Entertainment, Football, Politics, Classified, Money.

No Such Thing As a Fish by the QI elves.

The Infinite Monkey Cage

Curious Cases

Chalk Radio from MIT OpenCourseWare

I really enjoy this podcast. It's great to hear that the professors at MIT share their passion and expertise with students and the wider world. One of my favorite episodes is Prof. Eric Grimson's story about making computer science more accessible to everyone. It's really motivating to think that there are so many talented teachers and resources available, which makes me feel confident and excited to keep learning on my own.

"Ty and That Guy" - Ty Franck (one of the writers of The Expanse books) and Wes Chatham (actor of Amos Burton on the show) talk about sci-fi.

"SPINES" - supernatural fiction about an amnesiac tracking down broken people with paranormal abilities, written in an audio diary format. It gets a little gay.

"The White Vault" - supernatural fiction about a multinational team that travels to Svalbard to recover a lost expedition and encounters a monster.

• Omnibus
• Darknet Diaries

Radio lab is great :)

I would love to know some Chinese one's too

Knowledge Fight. Dan listens to InfoWars so you don't have to.

He has immersed himself in the world of Alex Jones, InfoWars, and other right-wing shit-headerry for almost 8 years now, and he brings a depth of research and continuity to the conversation that nobody else really does. He goes beyond the usual "wow, what a hypocrite" criticism and thoroughly eviscerates anything even remotely resembling a valid point that these dicks make. His co-host, Jordan, screeches along in an occasionally hilarious fashion.

They're about to release their 1,000th episode, and virtually all of them are worth a listen (even going back to 2016-2017). It really shows how often people like Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, Trump, Laura Loomer, and so forth have been overlapping and collaborating for years.

• The Bugle (satire about the news)
• The Deprogram (far left politics, very funny hosts)
• Blowback (documentary style show about US interventions in different places - more interesting than it sounds)
• Radiolab (sciencey stuff)

• Red Flags Pod: F1 Podcast with sister show Vankah Hours starring Gunther Steiner as a third co-host.
• Hyperfixed: Show where Alex Goldman tries to solve a problem an audience sent in, no matter what the topic is.

My favourites are:

• Fall of Civilisations
• The Thing About Austen

Srsly Wrong

• a leftist utopian podcast made in Canada

Reply All

• it's done now and is really only good until PJ leaves, but it was excellent for a while

Dungeons and Daddies

• four dads get sent to the forgotten realms while bringing their kids to a soccer game

The What If? Podcast

Turned Out A Punk

Something Rotten

Behind The Bastards

My regular rotation (in order of how many of them I listen to, %):

• Lateral with Tom Scott
• Wait, wait, don't tell me
• Well there's your problem
• Behind the Bastards
• It could happen here

Darknet diaries is one of my all time favorites.

If you like music analysis then Strong Songs is also interesting

And for a non serious listen I like to listen to Sherlock & Co, which is an amazing audioplay where Watson becomes a podcaster to deal with his PTSD. The adventures are self contained, so you can hop on any you like.

I liked "David Tennant does a podcast with.."
