The only podcast I listen to is the only podcast that has ever existed and it’s called ‘All Fantasy Everything.’ Everything else other users have posted is actually All Fantasy Everything in disguise behind a Joker mask hiding deep in the jungles of Bolivia. Pretty twisted.

Beautiful Anonymous

Search Engine

Expanded

This American Life

Selected Shorts

The Bald and the Beautiful (all drag queen podcasts will teach you things about sex you have never imagined).

Why Won't You Date Me?

I subscribe to TWiT network so I listen to This Week in Tech/Google, Untitled Linux Show

Besides that i like waveform, the vergecast, no such thing as a fish, stuff you should know.

If Books Could Kill is new my favourite

Another Darknet Diaries fan here. Very approachable, centered around cyber security and privacy. It's the only one I am currently listening to, but I am going to check out some of the others from this thread.

• The Regulation Podcast
• Distractible
• Girls who don't D&D
• My Brother, My Brother and Me
• Hello from the magic tavern

I prefer single voice, storytelling podcasts. I listen to them as bedtime stories a lot.

• Lore (the older episodes are better, IMO)
• Myths & Legends (snarky modern retelling of old folk stories)
• Fictional (when he actually updates it... same guy as above, but these are classic literature)
• LeVar Burton Reads (all over the board. It's whatever stories LeVar liked. Leans a bit toward speculative fiction)
• Drabblecast, sometimes good if you like "weird fiction"
• Cautionary Tales (nonfiction)
• Just started getting into The Program. Clear Black Mirror influences here.

I listen to mostly political podcasts.

• The rest is politics - UK / US
• The daily
• The Ezra Klein show
• Post report
• Pod save America
• Democracy Now
• Today in Focus
• The journal
• NRPs Political podcast
• The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart

Non political pods:

• Pre-production with Chris Stuckman
• Ted Talks daily

Domestic podcasts - Norway:

• Det Store Bildet
• Aftenpodden / USA / Midtøsten (premium only for Aftenposten subscribers)
• Poprådet (same as with Aftenpodden)
• Dypdykk (very good podcast that go deep into the material of each story, again need subscription from Aftenposten)
• Trygdekontoret - Podcast that focuses on many different issues.
• Urix - Podcast about news from the world and politics
• Ekko - Show about various topis. Sometimes they got experts and scientists to explain the different topics
• Abels tårn - Show about science. It makes it more understandable for the layman.
• Kommentert - Show about norwegian politics.

The Daily Zeitgeist - a daily rundown of the news and pop culture

Behind the Bastards

16th Minute (of Fame) - reviewing internet main characters and adding context to what is generally known about them

Factually - Adam Conover interviews experts

The Dollop - two comedians tell stories from history

Bad Hasbara - two anti-Zionist Jews discuss Israeli propaganda, usually with a guest

Pod Yourself [x] - episode by episode recap of tv shows. First the Sopranos (pod yourself a gun) then The Wire (pod yourself the wire) and upcoming is Mad Men.

Search Engine

Some More News - news deep dives and weekly current events.

A lot. The one's I always come back to are

Not another D&D podcast

Improvised star trek

Thrilling adventure hour

Dungeons & Daddies

Hello from the Magic Tavern

Conan O Brian Needs a Friend

Comedy Bang Bang

Doug loves Movies - (since covid has a lot of video call episodes instead of live shows which really kills the energy imo.)

edited for formatting

• It's always sunny podcast,

• 99 Percent invisible ,
• The Dollop,

Then I have a couple of news and political news talk shows that I listen to sparingly.

I only listen to two, usually while diving

• Distractible
• Fake Doctors, Real Friends with Zach and Donald

It's just people shooting the shit. Just friends chatting.

Currently Dan Carlin's Hardcore History. Love it because he's good at the storytelling and there aren't a lot of sponsored segments like other popular shows.

How has no one mentioned "Off Menu"? It's pretty much always my first choice of podcast if published a new one

• Most Cool Zone Media shows
• Radio Free Tote Bag
• Oddity Roadshow
• Cory Doctorow
• Sandy and Nora/Daily News
• Respect the Dead
• Knowledge Fight

UNCANNY on BBC4

The Program Audio Series

The Abroad in Japan podcast, they're pretty short but they make a couple a week

Current favorites:
99% invisible
Articles of Interest (on hiatus)
Serial (takes long breaks)
Revisionist History

The Past and the Curious (for the kids)

Podcasts I don't listen to you much anymore, though they have some good episodes: Deep Cover
Radiolab
This American Life
The Moth
Odd Lots
Animal Spirits Podcast
Dan Carlin's Hardcore History

This Week in Tech. (since 2005ish)

Where should we begin?

The Moth.

What's that rash?

Here are two I recommend:

The Rest is History - two historians, Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook go deep on interesting topics from history.

Never Post - a podcast described as “about and for the internet” and in some sense the spiritual successor to Hello Internet but also reminding me of classic Radiolab. Worth checking out.

The Co-Main Event Stuff You Should Know Space Nuts Joy

Fly on the Wall, Smartless, and WTF, but only when they have interesting guests.

Believe You Me and Morning Kombat, but only when I’m in the right head space.

Wait wait don't tell me
