• Stuff You Should Know -A show that originally came from How Stuff Works. The name is self explanatory
• Radiolab -A science based narrative type show that originally airs on WNYC, a major NPR Affiliate and it used to be my favorite show but it’s gone down in quality in recent years.
• It’s Always Sunny Podcast by the cast of Sunny in Philadelphia talk about their shows and personal lives. It’s arguably the most light-hearted show I listen to
• Philosophize This -a educational podcast that discusses mainstream philosophy and the development of the subject in chronological order. I’m only 29 episodes in and there are currently over 200

  • Marketplace presents: The Uncertain Hour -A podcast that does season length stories that take a deep dive into the broken aspects of americas economy, america’s failing regulation & safety nets.
• Behind The Bastards -A Biographical podcast about a lot of historic/prominent people that probably shouldn’t be idolized
• Sawbones -A podcast about the history of medicine.
• The Moth -A collection of personal stories of triumph, change, growth, and inspiration as they were remembered and told live on stage. I first heard it on NPR.

On a more personal level I also listen to various collections of Alan Watts talks in addition to Sam Harris’s Making Sense podcast.

Really enjoy the rest is history.

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

• 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.

I looked through a number of comments and am surprised not to see Let’s Learn Everything.

Every two weeks the hosts cover two topics in a lot of depth, anything from quantum mechanics to swear words.

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.

There is only one podcast truly worth your valuable time, and it’s the Get Skrek’d Podcast - “A shot-by-shot analysis of the award-winning film, Shrek 2 by your tour guide and host, Logan Flinders.”

No other podcasts compare. No other podcasts matter.

Get Shrek’d is love. Get Shrek’d is life.

Lions Led By Donkeys! Weird and usually stupid military history, featuring everything from Roman warfare up to Vietnam.

I’ll also toss in Well There’s Your Problem. It’s an engineering disasters podcast. With slides (if you’re watching on YouTube).

“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.

I don’t listen to podcasts often. But I like:

• Citations Needed: a podcast about media. Basically goes into how media covers some events and topics from a leftist perspective.

• Cane and Rinse: video game discussions and analyses. Each episode covers a specific game

I don’t listen to podcasts that much, but I am a big fan of the Lingthusiasm podcast. I was actually introduced to it by none other than Tom Scott (although he doesn’t really host it himself).

I’ve enjoyed Blowback.
