      Okay… what’s the difference between a beautiful and highly produced radio program and a podcast?

    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

      +1 for If Books Could Kill. They’ve kinda run out of shitty famous self help books, but they still do good rundowns on other books now.

      I’ll also recommend Michael Hobbes’ other podcast, Maintenance Phase, which is largely about health grifts.

    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.

    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.

    I prefer single voice, storytelling podcasts. I listen to them as bedtime stories a lot.

    • Lore (the older episodes are better, IMO)
    • Myths & Legends (snarky modern retelling of old folk stories)
    • Fictional (when he actually updates it… same guy as above, but these are classic literature)
    • LeVar Burton Reads (all over the board. It’s whatever stories LeVar liked. Leans a bit toward speculative fiction)
    • Drabblecast, sometimes good if you like “weird fiction”
    • Cautionary Tales (nonfiction)
    • Just started getting into The Program. Clear Black Mirror influences here.

      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.

        I’ve seen that one in my podcast app, but my backlog is still so long. Might be good for nights that I just want to zonk right out though.

      Cautionary Tales is stressful but fun. The host has a great style and podcast voice.

      LeVar Burton Reads is often great. If you like LeVar and have kids in your life, they may like Sound Detectives! , wherein a detective and a 4 foot tall ear named Audie investigate missing sounds.

        The thing I like most about LeVar Burton Reads is that it’s basically Reading Rainbow with the occasional “fuck” thrown in there.

        And yeah, Tim Harford’s smooth voice is a much-needed balance to the anxiety inducing content of Cautionary Tales.

    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.

      The Marital Tour of Misguided Medicine? Nice.

      I’ve never listened, but I’m in the McElroy orbit already so maybe I ought to give it a shot.

      Have you found Spanish Obsessed? It’s a Colombian/English couple who just have conversations in Spanish about random topics at an intermediate level.

      They have several podcasts, so make sure to find the intermediate level for the conversations. Their beginner level has much more spoken English and basic Spanish vocab, which I’m not as into.
