I used to listen to long form essays on Youtube. My favourite ones either break down the history of a conspiracy, teach me something new and cool about the world, or explore a hobby I've never been interested in.

I don't like the ones about killers or heavy drama. I also don't like podcasts that spend half the time reading the latest news from [topic] in verbatim .

What are some podcasts you can recommend me while I chip away at other things?

I really like it! I recommend starting out by looking at the episode descriptions to listen to investigations that sound particularly interesting to you, then if you want eventually going back and catching the ones you skipped
