Since it hasn’t been mentioned, Dudesy.
It’s Will Sasso and Chad Kultgen shittin around while an AI named Dudesy (trained by all their personal information, search histories, emails, social media accounts, etc.) produces the show.
Ooh! And Chad’s other podcast Games of Roses is great too! Completely changed at how I look at the bachelor.
We Might Be Drunk is the podcast I listen to with the most consistency, and definitely worth a listen. Two of my favorite comedians (Mark Norman & Sam Morrill) who are hilarious while also getting into aspects of day to day life.
Distractible is my go-to for a good laugh. Listen to the episode “Bob’s Fridge” to make your day better
I’m new to Distractible as of only a few weeks ago. I was working backwards until my brother said “no. Stop what you’re doing and listen to ‘Bob’s Fridge’”
It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
Recently I’ve been listening to Well There’s You’re Problem; it’s 30% retrospective on engineering disasters 70% shitpost
Mission To Zyxx
Cautionary tales: stories of how things went wrong
Darknet diaries: stories from the dark web
intelligence squared: thought provoking debates about anything and everything
The numberphile podcast: interviews with mathematicians by Brady Haran. If you like the kinds of videos Brady makes, you’ll probably like this too. You know, stuff like sixty symbols, numberphile, perioedic table of videos etc.
You are not so smart: podcast about psychology
your undivided attention: discussion and interviews about social media. What it’s like to work for a social media company. How social media influences your business, or how it affects your life. How different parts of it are intentional and some are unintentional.
Which ‘cautionary tales’, the search gave a couple results?
With Tim Harford, by Pushkin.
Hope you like it. It’s one of my favorites even though I Found it only about a year ago.
Thank you!

Love recommending podcasts!
- Like others have said, Behind the Bastards is great to find out about some of the worst people in history.
- In relation to that Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff is the opposite of Behind the Bastards. It’s about people who did cool stuff who became cool.
- Also in lieu of that, Bad Gays, it’s about bad gays in history. I think they’ve covered similar folks on BtB, but this is obviously from a queer perspective.
- Fad Camp and Maintenance Phase are great podcasts about dieting and wellness. Fad Camp is more about how damaging some of these diets can be, whereas Maintenance Phase is similar to You’re Wrong About (which I also recommend)
- The Weekly Planet are these two Australian guys who talk about movies, tv, comics and video games. They also have a YouTube channel called Me Sunday Movies where they’ll upload some of their podcasts. Like they have a running segment called “Caravan of Garbage” which is just sort of talking about a movie, tv show or game. Currently they’ve started going through the RoboCop movies.
- Also shameless plug, but Checkpoint is on the radio but they take their radio show and put it on a podcast. It’s a podcast about giving a 1up to diversity in video games. Most of us are from the LGBTQIA+ community and that’s where most of our perspectives come from, but it’s also just folks from any marginalised group. Lovely bunch of folks (if I do say so myself).
Uh yeah, I have some more, but like that’s politics or it’s writing related or spicyness in or out of the bedroom. But these are the ones I always recc.
Well, There’s Your Problem, a podcast with slides about engineering disasters which is, itself, a disaster.
Less of a disaster now, thanks Devin!
“I am Justin Rozniak I’m the person who is talking right now. My pronouns are he and him.”
The Dollop - a comedy podcast about how messed up American history is.
Last Podcast On The Left - comedy podcast about horror, true crime, aliens and the paranormal.
The Greatest Generation - Star Trek podcast
Behind the Bastards - Podcast about the worst people in history.
Get Played - video game podcast with a comedic bent.
Second Last Podcast on the Left. Quality content consistently for years.
Astonishing Legends - Two guys discussing all the weird stories of history - but not just discussing, they have a team of volunteer researchers and they discuss the justified in depth to see what progress or conclusions can be made. Very unique approach.
For comedy:
Distractible - very funny guys. Start with the episode Bob’s Fridge
Hamish and Andy - higher profuction value and hilarious. Very much like a radio show because they used to be radio hosts and are also comedians
For hilarious comedians with great chemistry and occasional improved bits: Bad Friends. With Andrew Santino and Bobby Lee.
Sawbones!
A podcast about medical history with a doctor and an idiot (Justin and Sydney Mcelroy. yes, that Justin Mcelroy)
Armchair Expert - interviews with not just actors, musicians, and directors, but also professors, philosophers, authors, etc. The host is very open about his childhood trauma and recovery from addiction. Very interesting intellectual conversations.
Behind the Bastards - really good deep dives into the assholes of our time and prior.
Beach Too Sandy, Water Too Wet - each episode, the hosts (brother and sister) read real reviews on a certain topic or genre and discuss. The reviews are generally hilarious, ridiculous, and/or crazy.
Christine Schiefer from Beach Too Sandy also has another podcast called And That’s Why We Drink. She does it with her friend Em Schulz once a week where they tell a paranormal and a true crime story, then once a month they also do viewer stories. I highly recommend it also!
Whoo another BtB listener!
“You know who won’t steal babies and forge adoption documents, probably? The goods and services that support this podcast.”
“Robert!”
“Sorry, Sophie, I guess I mangled that one. Here’s aaaaaads!”
I heard that in their voices oh my God.
I listen to too much BtB.
American History Tellers. I haven’t listened to many other podcasts so I can’t compare, but it feels like well researched and well told history. I feel like it is filling in the gaps of what was once my least favorite subject.
Probably should learn more world history, not just America, but I’m easing into the subject and America really has a colorful history for our short time so far.
