This History of Rome -- Pretty much exactly what the title says. This is an old podcast. It started in 2007 and finished in 2013. It pioneered the history podcast genre. It was made by Mike Duncan, who went on to create...
Revolutions -- Mike Duncan's follow up to The History of Rome. It's a similar format, but rather than a single on-going historical narrative, each season focuses on a different historical revolution. The original run of the show covered the English Revolution, American, French, Haitian, Spanish-American, 1830 French Revolution, 1848 European Revolutions, Mexican, and Russian Revolutions. He then concluded the podcast in 2022, but started it back up again late last year. This season is a fictionalized podcast about the Martian Revolution of the 24th century (told as a history from someone living well in the future of it). He's said that once he's done this season he's going back to doing historical revolutions picking back up after the Russian Revolution.
If you're at all techy or in to self-hosting or home automation, the Self-Hosted podcast is excellent listening.
Shout out to Linux Unplugged, from the same network, Juipeter Broadcasting
Plenty of audience participation, current and active.
They also have meetups, community stuff and are very fediverse involved!
LeVar Burton Reads
It's exactly what you see on the label. Curated collection of short stories read by Mr. Buron. There are very few "to be continued" episodes, so you can pretty much jump in wherever and have a listen.
Origin Story - two people (from British print media) go into the backgrounds of terms, groups, ideologies, and people in the news.
General interest
- Hardcore History (the best!)
- A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs
- Myths and Legends
Game history
- Retronauts
- Video Game History Hour (Video Game History Foundation)
- New Books in Game Studies (I haven't listened yet, but the description sounds interesting anyway)
Talking about current video games
- Kit and Krysta
- Vic's Basement (Electric Playground)
- Easy Allies (Haven't tuned in since a lot their personalities left, but they've still got a solid crew)
Thanks for the recommendations. No idea Victor Lucas had a podcast, I’ll have to check it out.
Here are some I really enjoy, which I also use to fall asleep to.
- Fall of civilizations - great history show
- Sweet Bobby - Weird and fascinating story
- The Spy Who - Awesome storytelling about different spystories from around the world
- It could happen here - Podcast that tells how a second american civil war could happen
- Decoding the gurus - decoding weirdos like musk, jordan peterson and other scammers

The Fall of Civilizations is hauntingly beautiful
A few not yet mentioned:
- Well There's Your Problem - a podcast about engineering disasters
- Hard Fork - a weekly tech news show, with banter similar to what you could find on Reply All before that was ended
- The War on Cars - an urbanism-podcast
- The Urbanist Agenda - another urbanism-podcast, by the creator behind Not Just Bikes
- The Climate Denier's Playbook - a climate-podcast
- Hyperfixed - by one of the hosts of Reply All
And a vote for previously mentioned podcasts:
- 99% Invisible - a podcast about design, arguably my favourite
- Darknet Diaries - a podcast about cybersecurity
The only one I listen to anymore is the WAN show. I just never have time to listen to them anymore so it usually takes 3-4 days to finish it.
I love Knowledge Fight. I came across Know Rogan podcast after seeing it linked a lot on the KFddit and I find it really good as well. If you like KF give KR a shot
I gave the Know Rogan guys' other podcasts a shot but they weren't for me. The Know Rogan one was good I even joined the Patron for it.
Thanks! With this I'll feel better tomorrow.
The materialism podcast has stopped, but is absolutely worth listening to the backlog. It's a material science podcast.
What's Left of Philosophy? - Good for elevating your philosophy game.
DOS GAME CLUB
Darknet diaries. It's about anything security, spy, hacking, some networking bots, etc. do NOT need to be a nerd to love it, recent episode was a guy who started tracking stolen bikes and found a crazy web of criminals though patterns.
Very well spoken, very well edited, very easy to listen to, even if you're technically challenged.
https://www.youtube.com/@doomscrollpodcast/podcasts ("Doomscroll explores online culture and politics in the 21st century.") (thoughtful one-on-one interviews with people that are active in youth culture, including people related to Chapo Trap House)
https://www.youtube.com/@spoonkid57/podcasts (a person who runs a Rust gaming channel talks with their friends about various things)
Beautiful Stories From Anonymous People, basically someone calls in to talk about anything they want with the host (comedian Chris Gethard). The caller can hang up any time, the host must hang up after exactly one hour.
People call in to talk about so many different things, and Gethard is really good at getting people to open up in a very genuine yet casual manner.
Unmade Podcast - 2 dudes talking podcast.
Lots of great suggestions. If you want one that will make you mad, Swindled is a great one about white collar crime. Podcaster is left leaning (outwardly so) and it's (sometimes) therapeutic to hear him talk about some of the topics.
