I'm a big fan of the following:
Maintenance Phase: discusses health/diet fads and scams
You're Wrong About: debunking the popular (but misinformed) narratives surrounding many well-known events of the past
Underunderstood: going down the rabbit hole of strange "ungoogle-able" questions (this one really fills the void Reply All left behind)
Darknet Diaries: super riveting cybersecurity (or just general security) stories
I've been a flashaholic since the CWM days, but I haven't rooted since probably 2017 or so. Back in the day, rooting was practically necessary for a good UX, but Android's matured enough now that I haven't had the need for a few years.
