Really not much of a podcast person, but my favorite has to be the Stronger by Science podcast.

Decoder Ring Theatre, phenomenal audio drama podcast that got better as time went on

Shagged Married Annoyed

I like brittish comedy, but I'm not brittish myself :)

For Spanish speakers I recommend 'Las Hijas de Felipe', about medieval/modern History (herstory?). They usually cover mundane things, rather than battles or empires.

I really admire these two → Radiolab and 70 over 70

[-] clarth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

We're Alive is a great story! Top notch production quality also.

If you enjoy HHGTTG, the podcast Star Tripper, has a similar vibe. Good story too.

Kerning Cultures should be on the list of everyone who likes 99PI and This American Life. It's like those two shows had a baby and it grew up in the Arab world.

I love shows like that!

They had me at "Ron Stampler hides in his pants."

I am not sure how it doesn't seem like these have been listed yet, maybe they are too obvious. But here is my list:

-Radiolab (Amazingly well told stories about every topic)

-Reply All (Hilarious dudes talking about internet trends and memes mostly)

-More Perfect (Essentially RadioLab but specifically focused on interesting supreme court history)

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Reply All has wrapped up sadly. I like Radiolab, but sometimes it feels like "doot dootily doo, SCIENCE".

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The end of Radiolab was so rough. They got pushed into doing some more serious reporting and it started to lose its charm...and then the drama that finally shut it down was a bummer.

I wish Alex Goldman would start a new show with a similar format. I liked PJ as a host but Alex carried it for me.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Did you listen to PJ's new podcast yet? I'm liking it. I think it has potential because he's smart.

I think you'd like Beautiful Anonymous a lot if you like those podcasts. It's an intimate conversation with an excellent host who is both a comedian and quasi therapist, and anonymous caller, and it's often really funny or heart warming.

Are you referring to Crypto Island or Search Engine?

I haven't, it was my understanding that PJ was one of the problem people at Gimlet when the whole BA thing went down so I've stopped following him.

Don't take that as gospel, though! I could be wrong. I haven't looked into it since it happened.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I feel like PJ was just burned out on the Spotify shit, when I listen to this podcast. He seems humbled. I decided to give him another shot.

I was a huge fan of The No Sleep Podcast specially during the early seasons. But recently they've been trying so much unnecessary stuff which kind of takes away the whole fun of listening to it. They also started advertising brands after every story. Definitely recommend listening to the first few seasons though if you like horror.

Thartharaa, stories from history told in a way that makes them very moving, bro like I cried one time or two

[-] JaCrispy@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

The Dollop and Casefile True Crime are my two favorites

[-] vittoria666@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I have three that I listen to: Distractible, Brain Leak, and Go! My Favorite Sports Team.

[-] 2stovez@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Three major ones for me: Dudesy, What's It Called, and Never Seen It. All great comedy podcasts!

  • The Unmade Podcast - Podcast about podcasting ideas
  • Smashing Security - IT security news
  • Eagle Nine: Locked - Story podcast
  • World's Greatest Con - Season 1 is about misleading Nazis on DDay, Season 2 is about Game show cheating, Season 3 is about infilitrating research about the paranormal.

Omnibus, if forced to choose only one.
