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.
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.

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.
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.
the adventure zone.

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!
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 🤷
The Dollop
Particularly the 1908 New York Paris Car Race episode
Car talk, Dan Carlin’s hardcore History, the maggott show, freakonomics, game design round table
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.
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
deleted by creator
The first campaign of Dungeons and Daddies is fantastic. It’s one I’ve come back to a couple of times.
This American Life and Heavyweight
Revolutions by Mike Duncan. It’s a history podcast with each season about a revolution, American, French, South American etc. with a huge backlog
Already listened through once but now I put it on to go to sleep, cause it’s fine if I miss something now.
