I’m looking to stock up on podcasts, whether in Mandarin, French or English. Don’t worry about my tastes I’ll sort it out later
But share good podcasts in other languages if you know any (it might be useful for other people)
Really enjoy the rest is history.
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 second the Citations Needed recommendation. Their episodes are so well researched.
-
- Behind the Bastards
- The Dollop
- Live Like The World is Dying
- Some More News
- It Could Happen Here
- Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff
- Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness
- The Film Reroll
- How Did This Get Made?
- Twenty Thousand Hertz
- The Amp Hour Electronics Podcast
These are some of my favorites, I’m sure I’m missing some though.
Available in Morse Code , dude you rock
Second how did this get made, listened to it on the way back from a trip this afternoon. I avoid the “Live!” ones as they are usually very poorly mixed and often the audience gets involved so you just sit and listen to badly mixed laughter for 4 minutes. Go see em live if you want that experience.
I feel this way about most love recordings of podcasts (or anything for that matter, with the exception of standup comedy) - if I wanted live episodes I’d go see them live.
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.
Ologies! " Each episode, Ward interviews an expert from a distinct scientific field (somnology, bryology, philematology, etc.)"
+1 for Ologies!
I’ll second Darknet Diaries! Hell of a podcast!
Darknet Diaries also has TOR website. Sadly it doesn’t have latest episode, so I don’t know if it will be updated.
Is there any podcasts that are interesting that isn’t a cus her white guy?
I mostly go for nonfiction stuff related to current events or history. Unfortunately some of these aren’t free.
Slow Burn - Each season goes deep on a particular event in recent (US) history. Quality falls off a bit after the first few seasons.
Fiasco - produced and hosted by the the guy that did the first 2 seasons of Slow Burn. Also US centric.
History on Fire - Haven’t listened to too much of this yet but was suggested the episode on Ötzi the Iceman which made me a fan. Probably the only one on here that isn’t US centric.
Throghline from NPR. Another history-ish podcast but focuses on current issues and the history behind them.
Going to check out some of these suggestions.
I quite enjoy:
- philosophise this
- escape pod
- darknet diaries
- the skeptics guide to the universe
- the jordan harbinger show
- search engine (and reply all)
- stellar firma
- sawbones
- if books could kill
- True crime garage
- midst
The Constant by Mark Chrisler. It covers examples of all the different way people have been wrong throughout history like thinking birds flew to the moon for winter or how homeopathy started. I always find it super interesting and pretty funny too.
It’s the only podcast I subscription to on patron.
Valley Heat. Great writing, hilarious.
I absolutely love these:
- Clearer Thinking with Spencer Greenberg (behavioral psychology)
- The Sloppy Boys (comedy cocktails)
- The Bugle (comedy satire politics)
- Danny Wallace’s Important Broadcast (comedy radio show)
- Heavyweight (comedy mystery)
- HomeAssistant podcast (smarthome tech HomeAssistant)
- Self-Hosted (tech)
- Maintenance Phase (comedy wellness)
- Severance Podcast (tv show Severance)
- Strong Songs (your favorite songs, explained)
- All Consuming (comedy product reviews)
The Severance podcast is a really great behind the scenes extrapolation of each episode by the cast and crew. I recommend this one too! It’s fun to hear how many of them are fans of the show since most of them had no idea what was going on while filling their portion.

I like fiction podcasts, and the main one I’m working through currently is The Magnus Archives. Each episode is a short first-person paranormal horror story, and they start out pretty standalone, eventually building more background and connections between the stories and adding more “frame story” about the people collecting these tales. I wouldn’t say it’s an SCP clone, but it’s kind of shaped similarly.
*Stuff you should know" is a fun podcast, two guys go over a random topic.
They aren’t experts in anything, but it’s fun to hear them try to explain what they’ve learned about everything from how cranes work to darker things like the Tulsa race riots.
Josh and Chuck are awesome. I enjoy how they slip in false info jokes, and go off on tangents
Omnibus is also good in this vein. Ken Jennings and his friend go over some weird and obscure history you might not know about. It’s not very in-depth a lot, more factoids, but always pretty cool.
Srsly Wrong
- a leftist utopian podcast made in Canada
Reply All
- it’s done now and is really only good until PJ leaves, but it was excellent for a while
Dungeons and Daddies
- four dads get sent to the forgotten realms while bringing their kids to a soccer game
The What If? Podcast
Turned Out A Punk
Something Rotten
Behind The Bastards
+1 for D&Dads
i freakin love season 3 so farOmg don’t spoil anything I’m still working through season 2!
I would never! Just sayin I love it 😁
Hell yeah I am so excited :)
Went looking for Reply All. I found that podcast as my “first” podcast, I’d never gotten into any before. Listened from episode one every day for weeks, and suddenly… They were announcing they were ending… I hadn’t realized they had ended…
Because they hadn’t yet. I somehow timed my listening of the whole show such that I heard the second or third last episode (where they first announced the ending) on the day it was put out… So I had to wait a week each for the last 2 episodes…
Great variety of content, despite the tagline…
Check out “Search Engine” if you liked Reply/All. PJ is the host!
Also Alex’s (the other Reply All host, with PJ) new podcast
Hyperfixatedhyperfixed!Edit: see above
