Man, I'm still listening to an online show that hasn't released anything new since 2012. But the episodes I'm listening to, since there's different versions of the show based on different years of release. The episodes are now 20 years old and everytime listening to them back, it's like opening a time capsule again.
It's a very niche show called 2 Sense and it's hosted by a couple furries. It's a very acquired taste for sure and I won't argue with anyone that some of it's content have really aged like milk, but what there is to be found on there can be a bit entertaining.
It's just a show I visit so frequently, it's become white noise now because of how much I've listened to those episodes.
I re-listened to Critical Role Campaign 1, Vox Machina, this year. It was pretty neat, I had caught up with Campaign 3, Hells’ Bells, and needed to give myself enough time to get behind and binge, so I think I did the entire VM story in… idk, 2-3 months? Maybe 4? Just on commutes and work outs.
I’m caught back up with HB, now, though… but, I’m also turning on Late Night comedians on my commutes, to mix it up a little.
Welcome to Night Vale and QWERPLine
Darknet Diaries. Full of fascinating cybersecurity stories and interviews, with both whitehats and blackhats.

Not so much anymore but I binged Hello from the magic tavern when I first discovered it. Also hardcore history, behind the bastards and Welcome to nightvale.
Really liking:
Buddhist Bootcamp, Not Another D&D Podcast, and Scamtown
The Dollop
Particularly the 1908 New York Paris Car Race episode
Til Death Do Us Blart
Every year around American Thanksgiving the members of My Brother, My Brother, and Me along with the hosts of Worst Idea of All Time watch Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 and discuss the movie. It's a surreal journey through the passage of time.
Old MBMBAM is also very good. It’s horrible after a couple hundred episodes.
Awesome, will check out
No Such Thing as a Fish, from the QI Elves. Funny, informative, rarely about current events which is a breath of fresh air. Just nerds getting nerdy about stuff.
Dammi I gotta start that. It’s been on my list for ages and I’ve never heard an episode.
Yes! I'm on my ~20th play though I reckon. I get to the end and go straight back to the start.
Car talk, Dan Carlin's hardcore History, the maggott show, freakonomics, game design round table
