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.
Diggnation
Film Reroll
Behind the Bastards for me. They have had some great and very informative episodes.
Ron and Fez. A wealth of entertainment.
Oh No Ross and Carrie was my gold standard of podcast… until they ended after 13 years… two days ago… 🥲
Short History Of
My Dad Wrote A Porno
Darknet Diaries. Full of fascinating cybersecurity stories and interviews, with both whitehats and blackhats.
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.
Welcome to Night Vale and QWERPLine
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.
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 ☹️
The first campaign of Dungeons and Daddies is fantastic. It’s one I’ve come back to a couple of times.
I just finished episode 48 on my first runthrough. Seriously good shit.
The Dollop
Particularly the 1908 New York Paris Car Race episode
Ty and That Guy, if you’re into movies. They are Ty Frank and Wes Chatham. The Podcast started as an episode by episode discussion oft The Expanse (Ty was an Executive producer and co-author of the novel series and Wes played Amos), but they branched out to just talk about any movies they like. Amazing insider knowledge there.
