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.
NoSleep. It’s a great horror podcast
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!
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.
the adventure zone.
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.
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.
- Judge John Hodgeman
- We Got This with Mark and Hal
- My Brother, my Brother, and Me
Have no continuous throughlines and can be listened to in any order. They’re fun to listen to, and nice to have on as background noise.
I’ve re-listened to these several times.
- The Thrilling Adventure Hour is a stage play that lasted 15 years in LA and survives as an occasional road show and live streamed show. They are in the style of old-time radio. My favorite segment is Sparks Nevada: Martial on Mars!
- SPONTANEANATION with Paul F. Tompkins is extremely good improv comedy with many comedians you know or whose voices you’ll recognize. Every episode is different!
- One Shot: Campaign: Star Wars is a tremendously funny and collaboratively-chaotic Star Wars TTRPG actual play.
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.
Yes! I’m on my ~20th play though I reckon. I get to the end and go straight back to the start.
Dammi I gotta start that. It’s been on my list for ages and I’ve never heard an episode.
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.
Car talk, Dan Carlin’s hardcore History, the maggott show, freakonomics, game design round table
Radio ambulante
The Dollop
Particularly the 1908 New York Paris Car Race episode
Technically its an audio drama but I love The Magnus Archives.
The Fall of Civilizations is a banger as well if you like history but I don’t go back and listen to this one
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
