In the podcasting app I have the follwoing subscriptions:
Behind The Bastards
The Delta Flyers
Lions Led By Donkeys
Decoding The Unknown
Kill James Bond
P3 Dokumentär
Well There's Your Problem
Damn Interesting
The Podcats
Nerd3 Podcats
P3 Dokumentär is great.
I should listen to more of them, unfortunately I always forget they exist.
Swedish radio produces a lot of high quality podcasts. Public service at it's finest!
Warp particles!
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?
That's a good point.
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 :(
Updates monthly now, so a new episode in a few days!
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.
Upvote for knowledge fight and BtB. I also personally love The Dollap
+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.
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.
local politics one that I disagree with but I use to be aware of what my local conservative pseudo fascists are arguing about.
I really need to find something like for my area. I like to hear what’s being said in these circles.
🤣 betteroffline.com What a joke !!!
They seem to promote self-hosted philosophy, but actually they use for their own podcast the full GAFAM suite XD XD
Thanks @Mallory
I prefer single voice, storytelling podcasts. I listen to them as bedtime stories a lot.
Lore (the older episodes are better, IMO)
Myths & Legends (snarky modern retelling of old folk stories)
Fictional (when he actually updates it... same guy as above, but these are classic literature)
LeVar Burton Reads (all over the board. It's whatever stories LeVar liked. Leans a bit toward speculative fiction)
Drabblecast, sometimes good if you like "weird fiction"
Cautionary Tales (nonfiction)
Just started getting into The Program. Clear Black Mirror influences here.
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.
I also listen to Lore, Myths and Legends and Fictional as bedtime stories.
I would add "Nothing Much Happens" to this list. The podcaster writes these short stories and tells them in a soothing voice with the goal of helping you fall asleep.
I've seen that one in my podcast app, but my backlog is still so long. Might be good for nights that I just want to zonk right out though.

Hello from the magic tavern. Man I haven’t listened to that in years. I have a map of Foon somewhere here though lol
Was hoping to see NADDPOD here
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.
If Books Could Kill is new my favourite
That's a fantastic name for a podcast (or most anything else).
I've tried Linux Unplugged and I'm quite shock ! for the Episode I've listen too ( 16 juin 2024 : So_Long_sudo )
It start early at 1:50, with a country music that prays systemd 🤔
Then at 2:06 Advertise for a company that sell SaaSS ! So quite the opposite of the GNU/Linux Philosophy !!!!!!
at 4:55 The host that say "Can you imagine life without systemd" WTF ! (That he use it personally, why not. He does what he want on his machines, but to promote it !! WTF )\
I've never listened, but I'm in the McElroy orbit already so maybe I ought to give it a shot.
That's the one! I say give it a try. Their episode on rabies and syphilis were pretty good imo

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.
No, but I'll check them out. Thanks for the suggestion.
Stuff You Should Know
Self Hosted
Cory Doctorow's Craphound
No Such Thing As A Fish - amazing facts by hilarious hosts
Let's Learn Everything - fascinating, hilarious and great chemistry between hosts
Dungeons and Daddies (not a BDSM podcast) - stunning story with some actual RPG play
Ologies - even the topics I felt would be boring were fascinating (like Ursinology)
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.
I was a teenaged fundamentalist
soft skills engineering
radió ambulante
real python
brief history of mathematics
A few that haven't been said in other comments
Most Cool Zone Media shows
Radio Free Tote Bag
Oddity Roadshow
Cory Doctorow
Sandy and Nora/Daily News
Respect the Dead
Knowledge Fight
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.
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.
I listen to mostly political podcasts.
The rest is politics - UK / US
The daily
The Ezra Klein show
Post report
Pod save America
Democracy Now
Today in Focus
The journal
NRPs Political podcast
The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart
Non political pods:
Pre-production with Chris Stuckman
Ted Talks daily
Domestic podcasts - Norway:
Det Store Bildet
Aftenpodden / USA / Midtøsten (premium only for Aftenposten subscribers)
Poprådet (same as with Aftenpodden)
Dypdykk (very good podcast that go deep into the material of each story, again need subscription from Aftenposten)
Trygdekontoret - Podcast that focuses on many different issues.
Urix - Podcast about news from the world and politics
Ekko - Show about various topis. Sometimes they got experts and scientists to explain the different topics
Abels tårn - Show about science. It makes it more understandable for the layman.
Kommentert - Show about norwegian politics.
How has no one mentioned "Off Menu"? It's pretty much always my first choice of podcast if published a new one
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.
There are more podcasts that deal with these kind of issues and maybe how to improve on those, or at least give context and options.
A few other podcasts that touch on these subjects:
Revolutionary Left Radio
Mass Struggle
Live Like the World is Dying (also with Margaret Killjoy)
Final Straw Radio
This Anthro Life
That's good to know there's more like this. My issue with a lot of politics online is that it feels like all blind anger and defeatism. With things were they talk to those actually involved in the events and those working to fix things, it makes it a much more positive experience to stay up to date on issues.
It is hard to find the outlets that are not just doom spewing but try to make it smaller and more personal, hopefully some of these podcasts give you a bit more that type of content that is motivating for you.

Hello from the magic tavern
Any recommendations for sub 10min podcasts? I have a short commute and put it on 1.3 speed to get a dialy radio show.
I already have DW News, Tech News Briefing, Marketplace Tech, and a few like Male Your Damn Bed/Arnold's Punp Club.
Can always do with more.
I like to listen to NPR's "Up First", they would more or less be in that time range.
Mainly listen to Australian podcast cause am one and find them more relatable. Listen to others as well but most the others already been mentioned. All are comedy. Faves are:
Mid flight brawl
Hamish and Andy
Mat and Alex all day breakfast
Yeah good
I'd recommend Boonta Vista to make your down-under fix complete.
The Abroad in Japan podcast, they're pretty short but they make a couple a week
The Co-Main Event
Stuff You Should Know
Space Nuts
Joy
Fly on the Wall, Smartless, and WTF, but only when they have interesting guests.
Believe You Me and Morning Kombat, but only when I’m in the right head space.
UNCANNY on BBC4
Not huge on podcasts but I enjoy The Casual Criminalist.
Dave and Chuck "The Freak" and Well There's Your Problem.
Another big fan of Darknet Diaries.
Ever since Michael Bazzle of Privacy, Security & OSINT stopped doing the podcasts, I'm still trying to find a replacement. Am listening to The Lockdown - Practical Privacy and Security in the mean time.
In the podcasting app I have the follwoing subscriptions:

I wouldn't call it a scandal at all. MKBHD has a company that relies on Apple hardware and software. They will very gladly accept any bribing from them.
99 Percent Invisible has been my favourite for years!
Any recommendations for sub 10min podcasts? I have a short commute and put it on 1.3 speed to get a dialy radio show.
I already have DW News, Tech News Briefing, Marketplace Tech, and a few like Male Your Damn Bed/Arnold's Punp Club.
Can always do with more.
I like to listen to NPR's "Up First", they would more or less be in that time range.
Mainly listen to Australian podcast cause am one and find them more relatable. Listen to others as well but most the others already been mentioned. All are comedy. Faves are:
Mid flight brawl
Hamish and Andy
Mat and Alex all day breakfast
Yeah good
I'd recommend Boonta Vista to make your down-under fix complete.
The Abroad in Japan podcast, they're pretty short but they make a couple a week
The Co-Main Event Stuff You Should Know Space Nuts Joy
Fly on the Wall, Smartless, and WTF, but only when they have interesting guests.
Believe You Me and Morning Kombat, but only when I’m in the right head space.
UNCANNY on BBC4
Not huge on podcasts but I enjoy The Casual Criminalist.
Dave and Chuck "The Freak" and Well There's Your Problem.
Another big fan of Darknet Diaries.
Ever since Michael Bazzle of Privacy, Security & OSINT stopped doing the podcasts, I'm still trying to find a replacement. Am listening to The Lockdown - Practical Privacy and Security in the mean time.
Also listen to Linux Game Cast.
