For me it’s This Week In Google.
I listen to it every week and between new episodes I listen to the archival episodes I haven’t heard yet.
Knowledge Fight. Keeps me up-to-date on the right-wing grifter-sphere. Wacky Wednesday episodes were the best when they’d listen to Project Camelot or Jim Bakker. Equal parts SMH and LOL :) Long live the Bachelor Squatch!
You Look Nice Today
If I could give 1000 updoots I would. I’ve been trying to find this podcast again for years!
awkward cake
For me Mysterious Universe takes the cake. A couple of Aussie guys talking about anything and everything paranormal, big foot, lucid dreaming, missing 411, stone tape theory, mediums, hauntings, abductions, time travel, ufos, men in black, remote viewing, alternative history theories, etc. They don’t really delve into conspiracy theories which I appreciate.
They’ve been at it for ages, and they are on season 32 of the regular show and 30 of the plus show (2 seasons per year). Most shows they discover a book or essay and do a deep dive into it, explaining and linking it to other research.
My main draw is how they don’t take anything too seriously, and are able to objectively present a theory about “black ops stealth [person of short stature]”, mixed with “the meaning behind your Thai diving instructor’s tramp stamp”, and follow it by well researched interviews with authors and researchers. Giving facts and letting listeners draw their own conclusions.
All that to say, I’ve listened back to season 11 so far, and have thousands of hours of content. Highly recommend.
he had something special in their first act, then he got his buddy and it became a decent smart guy/dumb guy podcast in their second act, and then they made a gross hard right wing turn for their third act ☹️
Ya you’re right some of their views are 👎. I actually stopped listening to the podcast sometime over the pandemic when they had a super right wing guest on and they let loose and agreed with his views which was uncommon. Didn’t finish the episode, but came back to it a few years later and I recall hearing Aaron back track. Some of their newer episodes are still interesting and they seem to be more balanced, though I’ve been listening to the pre pandemic episodes.
I think I’ve let go of MU for forever, but it was hard to do because Ben reading a firsthand account of a paranormal sighting really used to give me the feels back in the day
Behind the Bastards for me. They have had some great and very informative episodes.
I’m super behind and that mostly doesn’t matter, which is nice. Excellent podcast. Currently on part 3 of the Thomas Jefferson deep dive. For people who like Behind The Bastards, check out their limited run of Behind The Police.
I loved the Jefferson deep dive. I also lived the Robert E Lee deep dive. Fuck those guys.
Ron and Fez. A wealth of entertainment.
Darknet Diaries. Full of fascinating cybersecurity stories and interviews, with both whitehats and blackhats.
I kinda like the crime more
I think they tend to be more interesting too, yeah.
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.
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.
Car talk, Dan Carlin’s hardcore History, the maggott show, freakonomics, game design round table
NoSleep. It’s a great horror podcast
Oh No Ross and Carrie was my gold standard of podcast… until they ended after 13 years… two days ago… 🥲
It a great podcast for sure. The ending was so awkward, that it’s almost as if they want us to speculate about what happened to Carrie. They barely complimented each other, recorded separately, and didn’t even like the other’s goodbye announcement on social media. Very odd.
As far as I can tell from creeping, Drew and Carrie’s pets are still alive, so it’s not that.
I literally logged into threads for the first time to lurk. Carrie is…posting images from a book she’s reading. And then I remember that whatever her traumatic experience was and whatever the reason for the podcast’s end it’s not really any of my business 🤷
What a Hell of a Way To Die, Well There’s Your Problem, The Unsubscribe Podcast, Bourbon Moth Woodworking podcast, Kill Tony, Creepcast, Time for Pie, Behind the Bastards.
There are others that are questionably a podcast.

Mission to Zyxx and The Orbiting Human Circus. Both absolute masterpieces in their own ways.
Limetown is one i revisit from time to time. SAYER used to be this, but after they decided to continue the series I kinda lost interest.
