I’d suggest YouTubers that deep dive into controversy, science, or current events. It might be tough to stumble upon, depending on which side of the algorithm you’re on, but I’m a sucker for hour long documentaries on game design and development history.
Do you want JUST casual conversation podcasts? Or podcasts that have a “topic” but there’s lots of friendly bullshitting around the topic of the day? I listen to 10+ hours of podcasts a day, I might have recs if you specify.
Edit: I offer because none of the podcasts I listen to are out-of-touch millionaires complaining about their Rolexes lol.
Not OP, but if you have a recommendation for podcasts that have a “topic” but there’s lots of friendly bullshitting around the topic of the day, I’d love to hear some!
Get Played (Two, then three hosts talk about weird/bad video games. Two hosts are or have been in the video game industry in some form.)
Doughboys (This is a long shot as they get REALLY weird sometimes lmao. Don’t listen if you don’t like jokes about cum. But two dudes go to and review fast food restaurants.)
Podcast: The Ride (Theme park dorks talk about theme parks/rides with full understanding of how dorky they are but they’re funny about it.)
Underunderstood (This one is a lot more controlled than some of the others, but I really enjoy it. They investigate questions “the internet can’t answer” aka a lot of weird stuff the internet thinks is a mystery just requires some digging.)
Fraudsters (A bit more topic-focused but again they’re very loose, not rigid and riff a lot. Talks about famous and not so famous fraud cases.)
I could do much more but they’ll lean more topic-focused or chat-focused.

I’d like to recommend a few non-rogansphere podcasts:

Obligatory Knowledge Fight shout out.
The Rogan-centric episodes might be a good place to start.

Absolutely! Heres a totally random assortment!
Your Kickstarter Sucks (Two dry funny guys mock dumb/weird Kickstarter campaigns)

Perfect, I’ll definitely give some of those a whirl. Thanks!
