To whoever finds this new community, welcome!
I thought I would start this community off by sharing my favourite app and podcasts and would invite you to do the same.
I've been an Android user for many, many years now so I've been through every podcast app there is. The one I always come back to though, is Podcast Addict. The dev is really responsive, hard-working and listens to the community. The app itself has just an insane amount of features and anything you can think of is generally possible. I also like Podcast Republic and PocketCasts but they might be better suited to people who don't want to tinker as much and get everything little thing working as they like.
I go through new podcasts constantly so my favourites do change a lot, however, at the moment these are my favourites.
- Last Podcast On The Left - They're a comedy true-crime/ paranormal/ weird stuff/ gory history podcast. They've been around a long time now and I always go back to them.
- Chilluminati - This one is very similar to LPOTL but they do a lot of new conspiracies (the fun kind not the poisonous kind) and internet mysteries which I enjoy. They also have a slightly different dynamic in that two of the guys are believers and one is a sceptic.
- Swinded - Swindled is a true crime podcast but it handles exclusively blue-collar crime, so shady business dealings, human rights violations, scams etc. It's really informative and really well written.
- All Systems Goku - I'm not a huge anime fan but I love Dragon Ball. This series has been finished a while now but it's worth going back to every now and then. It's two comedians watching DBZ for the first time.
- Retronauts - Admittedly, I haven't listened to this one in a while but it's a great retro gaming podcast with great hosts and guests.
- You're Wrong About - A really fun and informative podcast about subjects and topics the public usually has a take on that might not be the entire truth.
Anyway! Welcome to the community and I can't wait to read everyone's replies!
I like
behind the bastards - cool deep dives into the worst people in history
the dollop - comedians joking around as they look at an interesting historical episode. left of the libs and radicalizing
death panel - focuses on healthcare in america. they explain the systems and issues very well
blowback - each season covers an example of american imperialism i.e. iraq invasion, korean war, cuba.
the deprogram - seems good. talking about socialism and communism, 3 guys from different countries.
Great suggestions! I love The Dollop but I've never really been able to get in to BTB. The others sound very interesting.
The Dollop and Behind the Bastards I'll second (though I've fallen out of the habit of listening to them lately) and on a similar note, I really enjoy Knowledge Fight - deep dive analysis and correction of all the conspiracy stuff Alex Jones and Infowars claims. The primary host was even brought on as an expert in at least one of the Sandy Hook Defamation cases. If it sounds good, I think I'd recommend just diving in on recent ones, maybe around the disposition, rather than trying to start from the beginning.
