I’m getting close to the bottom of my backlog on a few podcasts, so I’m looking to get something new in there.

Personally, it’s been, in no particular order:

  • If Books Could Kill
  • Darknet Diaries
  • Hard Fork
  • 99% Invisible
  • The War on Cars
  • The Urbanist Agenda
  • The Climate Denier’s Playbook
  • Well There’s Your Problem

I’m mildly considering getting into Behind the Bastards and It Could Happen Here, but I’m a little bit skeptical on account of how damn much there is to be listened to in their feed.

    Hard Fork - I love the hosts and the current popular tech news Pantsuit Politics - some really thoughtful nuanced views (Sarah can get a little spicy but it’s fun and informative) Knowledge Fight Maintenance Phase (only releasing intermittently right now but the hosts are hilarious and it’s good info about all things health and nutrition…good myth debunking)

    And these ones are very popular and probably not unknown to you but I listen to Up First (NPR) and The Daily every single day as they’re good, short to moderate length current news podcasts…relatively unbiased.

    I also listen to Pod Save America, Slate Political Gabfest, FiveThirtyEight, The Bulwark and Strict Scrutiny for a wide range of political arenas (lefty, righty, polling, judiciary…not in that order necessarily)
