Swedish radio produces a lot of high quality podcasts. Public service at it's finest!
P3 Dokumentär is great.
I should listen to more of them, unfortunately I always forget they exist.
Wait wait don't tell me
Well fine then! I’ll keep them to myself.
Okay… what’s the difference between a beautiful and highly produced radio program and a podcast?
Knowledge Fight - Analysis of Alex Jones and his fucked up world
God Awful Movies - Let's watch bad religious movies and talk shit about them
Behind the Bastards - Details about evil fuckers in history (and the present)
If Books Could Kill - let's read shitty airport books and talk about them
Qanon Anonymous (QAA now?) - The Qanon conspiracy world is fucking wild. Best keep track of it.
Others more sporadically.
+1 for If Books Could Kill. They've kinda run out of shitty famous self help books, but they still do good rundowns on other books now.
I'll also recommend Michael Hobbes' other podcast, Maintenance Phase, which is largely about health grifts.
Upvote for knowledge fight and BtB. I also personally love The Dollap
Another Darknet Diaries fan here. Very approachable, centered around cyber security and privacy. It's the only one I am currently listening to, but I am going to check out some of the others from this thread.
Same. Only problem is how he's shifted his focus and new episodes are uncommon :(
I prefer single voice, storytelling podcasts. I listen to them as bedtime stories a lot.
Cautionary Tales is stressful but fun. The host has a great style and podcast voice.
LeVar Burton Reads is often great. If you like LeVar and have kids in your life, they may like Sound Detectives! , wherein a detective and a 4 foot tall ear named Audie investigate missing sounds.
The thing I like most about LeVar Burton Reads is that it's basically Reading Rainbow with the occasional "fuck" thrown in there.
And yeah, Tim Harford's smooth voice is a much-needed balance to the anxiety inducing content of Cautionary Tales.
The one I listen the most and for the longest is No such thing as a fish.
Other that that, Better Offline, Darknet diaries, Money Stuff, Search engine, a local politics one that I disagree with but I use to be aware of what my local conservative pseudo fascists are arguing about.
And not so regularly many others whenever there's an interesting episode.

I really need to find something like for my area. I like to hear what’s being said in these circles.
R.I.P Hello Internet, the podcast I most wish would come back. Forever in my subs just in case.
A lot. The one's I always come back to are
Not another D&D podcast
Improvised star trek
Thrilling adventure hour
Dungeons & Daddies
Hello from the Magic Tavern
Conan O Brian Needs a Friend
Comedy Bang Bang
Doug loves Movies - (since covid has a lot of video call episodes instead of live shows which really kills the energy imo.)

Hello from the magic tavern. Man I haven’t listened to that in years. I have a map of Foon somewhere here though lol
Currently Dan Carlin's Hardcore History. Love it because he's good at the storytelling and there aren't a lot of sponsored segments like other popular shows.
In order of listening frequency:
The Greatest Generation
Behind the Bastards
Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend
Linux Unplugged
Behind the Bastards, Linux Lads, Linux Late Night, The Infinite Monkey Cage (when they do episodes), some spanish stuff for listening practice (mostly Hoy Hablamos), Hack-a-Day, Self-Hosted, and Cory Doctorow...
Have you found Spanish Obsessed? It's a Colombian/English couple who just have conversations in Spanish about random topics at an intermediate level.
They have several podcasts, so make sure to find the intermediate level for the conversations. Their beginner level has much more spoken English and basic Spanish vocab, which I'm not as into.
Stuff You Should Know
Self Hosted
Cory Doctorow's Craphound
I subscribe to TWiT network so I listen to This Week in Tech/Google, Untitled Linux Show
Besides that i like waveform, the vergecast, no such thing as a fish, stuff you should know.
Then I have a couple of news and political news talk shows that I listen to sparingly.
A few that haven't been said in other comments
Here are two I recommend:
The Rest is History - two historians, Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook go deep on interesting topics from history.
Never Post - a podcast described as “about and for the internet” and in some sense the spiritual successor to Hello Internet but also reminding me of classic Radiolab. Worth checking out.
SciShow tangents (a lightly competitive science show)
Ologies (interviewing experts from different fields/ologies)
Fake Doctors, Real Friends (Scrubs actors rewatching scrubs, my favorite show when i was younger. Plus great behind the scenes of film making)
The Imp & Skizz show (just two gamers i love to watch, talking about creative stuff. Probably not as enjoyable for anyone who doesn't watch them already though. Still love them and would love to see then succeed more!)
The only podcast I listen to is the only podcast that has ever existed and it’s called ‘All Fantasy Everything.’ Everything else other users have posted is actually All Fantasy Everything in disguise behind a Joker mask hiding deep in the jungles of Bolivia. Pretty twisted.
I listen to mostly political podcasts.
Non political pods:
Domestic podcasts - Norway:
Already seeing a trend here, joining in:
Behind the Bastards Better Offline Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff Red Menace This Machine Kills Heavyweight (discontinued) Search Engine
Came here to see if anyone else was plugging the other CZM podcasts. I've expanded out to Cool People (I especially like the anarchist book club stories) and It Could Happen Here.
I wouldn't call myself an anarchist by any means, but I like how they get to both the root causes of issues and also give some ideas on things we can do to make some of these situations better. That last part is what I feel is missing from just about every other show about current events.
The NoSleep Podcast The Nightowl Podcast Weird Darkness Kinda Funny Games Daily Kinda Funny Gamescast Dungeons and Daddys Remember the game? The Last Podcast on the Left Smosh Reads Reddit Stories This Paranormal Life
That's my current rotation right now.
Political: Chapo Traphouse, TrueAnon, Know Your Enemy
Semi-political and humor: QAA, Spycops
Humor: Boonta Vista, Your Favorite Band Sucks
Education: Stuff the British Stole, What Roman Mars Can Learn About ConLaw, Noble Blood
Tech: Dithering, Grumpy Old Geeks, Accidental Tech Podcast, Under the Radar, Darknet Diaries, The Talk Show
Events: Alphabet Boys, Long Shadow, In the Dark, Serial
Etc: Better Offline, Behind the Bastards, Dutch New Podcast, Strong Songs, 99% Invisible, Last Podcast on the Left, Friendly Atheist, Song Exploder, What Went Wrong
I don't listen to every episode of every show, but some shows I never miss. A lot of this came from being single during the pan and having a ton of alone time to fill while walking my area. Things fell off when we got back to normal and again when I got together with my partner. Luckily, my latest job has a lot of downtime so I'm able to listen to more again.
The Deprogram, RevLeft, Socialist Program, Upstream
This Week in Tech. (since 2005ish)
Where should we begin?
The Moth.
What's that rash?
I only listen to two, usually while diving
It's just people shooting the shit. Just friends chatting.
