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)
Is there any podcasts that are interesting that isn’t a cus her white guy?
Valley Heat. Great writing, hilarious.
the yard
. Mad At The Internet
Almost Plausible is a show where three friends take ordinary objects (for example, a paperclip, a ceiling fan, or a toilet brush) and create movie plots based on those objects.
Full disclaimer: This is my podcast.
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 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.

The eastern border https://theeasternborder.lv/
A podcast about history and current events in the post Soviet sphere geared towards a western audience by a Latvian journalist. Unfortunately one current topic dominates for the last 3 years. Please take a guess, which it might be.
I looked through a number of comments and am surprised not to see Let’s Learn Everything.
Every two weeks the hosts cover two topics in a lot of depth, anything from quantum mechanics to swear words.
I don’t listen to podcasts that much, but I am a big fan of the Lingthusiasm podcast. I was actually introduced to it by none other than Tom Scott (although he doesn’t really host it himself).
Really enjoy the rest is history.
Well there’s your problem podcast. A podcast about engineering disasters; with slides.
Lateral with Tom Scott It’s a great non-political podcast.
