In the podcasting app I have the follwoing subscriptions:
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?
That's a good point.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Was hoping to see NADDPOD here
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...
Then I have a couple of news and political news talk shows that I listen to sparingly.
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.
Stuff You Should Know
Self Hosted
Cory Doctorow's Craphound
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.
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.
A few that haven't been said in other comments
I listen to mostly political podcasts.
Non political pods:
Domestic podcasts - Norway:
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!)
Current favorites:
99% invisible
Articles of Interest (on hiatus)
Serial (takes long breaks)
Revisionist History
Cautionary Tales
Behind the Bastards
The Economics of Everyday Things
The Past and the Curious (for the kids)
Podcasts I don't listen to you much anymore, though they have some good episodes:
Deep Cover
Radiolab
This American Life
The Moth
Odd Lots
Animal Spirits Podcast
Dan Carlin's Hardcore History
Darknet Diaries
None apart from that. You're better off listening to pirated audiobooks, especially the full-cast kind with SFX like those created by GraphicAudio
This Week in Tech. (since 2005ish)
Where should we begin?
The Moth.
What's that rash?
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.
