But share good podcasts in other languages ​​if you know any (it might be useful for other people)

    • Stuff You Should Know -A show that originally came from How Stuff Works. The name is self explanatory
    • Radiolab -A science based narrative type show that originally airs on WNYC, a major NPR Affiliate and it used to be my favorite show but it’s gone down in quality in recent years.
    • It’s Always Sunny Podcast by the cast of Sunny in Philadelphia talk about their shows and personal lives. It’s arguably the most light-hearted show I listen to

    • Behind The Bastards -A Biographical podcast about a lot of historic/prominent people that probably shouldn’t be idolized
    • Sawbones -A podcast about the history of medicine.

    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.

      And if you like Sawbones, check out My Brother, My Brother, and Me.

      It’s a comedy advice podcast from the lovable idiot and his two brothers. It’s great fun, and was referenced in the musical Hamilton (Lin-Manuel Miranda is a big fan).

    My time has come! I have a podcast for everything. What do you like?

    I subscribe to over 250 podcasts. -_- I don’t listen to all of them every day, and many aren’t in production anymore.

    I love to listen and learn.

    Unexplainable - Explainers on scientific mysteries, each episode is less than 30 minutes

    What Went Wrong - Behind the scenes movie podcast. It’s a miracle any movie gets made.

    Song Exploder - Musicians take apart their songs, layer by layer and talk about how it was made

    Hysteria - Politics and News focusing on how the issues affect women

    Levar Burton Reads - Levar Burton reads short stories. Not in production anymore, but there are almost 200 episodes worth of stories to hear

    Hello From the Magic Tavern - A guy falls to another dimension but still gets WiFi so he started a podcast interviewing fantasy characters in that universe

    Welcome to Night Vale - A fictional story told through a bi-monthly community updates radio broadcast. All conspiracies in Night Vale are real.

    Hacked - Stories about hacking and internet crime.

    Ologies - Science show about ‘-ologies’ careers

    There is only one podcast truly worth your valuable time, and it’s the Get Skrek’d Podcast - “A shot-by-shot analysis of the award-winning film, Shrek 2 by your tour guide and host, Logan Flinders.”

    No other podcasts compare. No other podcasts matter.

    Get Shrek’d is love. Get Shrek’d is life.

    I’m surprised no-one has mentioned “if books could kill”.

    They basically tear all their top seller self help books to shreds. It’s very entertaining and actually really smart too.

      It is a great podcast. But all of Michael Hobbes podcasts are. He still co hosts maintenance phase and now Sarah is running you are wrong about alone.

    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 listen to many, but here’s my favorites:

    • Chilluminati: Takes a comedy focused look at supernatural, paranormal, and just weird topics. After a few episodes, the hosts really build excellent rapport. When it is at its best, it reminds me of some weird AM radio program you’d catch while night driving across the country.
    • The Beef and Dairy Network: The leading podcast about beef animals and dairy herds. Start at episode 1.
    • The Climate Denier’s Playbook: “Rollie Williams (Climate Town) and Nicole Conlan (The Daily Show) are two comedians with Master’s Degrees in Climate Science & Policy and Urban Planning. But don’t get too excited, because they’re here to examine the pervasive myths and misinformation campaigns that are making it obnoxiously difficult to address the looming climate crisis you’ve probably heard about.”
