Triforce podcast for silly and fun chats from the Yogscast members, Sips, PFlax, and Lewis

History of English Podcast is fascinating. Especially if English is your first/primary language.

"Homestuck Made This World" is a critical analysis of the webcomic Homestuck that morphs into a discussion about how the culture of the Internet changed immensely from 2008 to 2015.

"Lavar Burton Reads" is as it says, a podcast about an actor reading science fiction pieces.

I listen to quite a few episodes by the Economist. Science Vs, Freakonomics are couple of others that come to mind right now.

By far Completely Arbortrary. A podcast about trees and tree related topics. The host are great, one of them you might recognize from the podcast Ologies if you are into science topics.

The hosts compliment each other well and deliver a funny, educational podcasts with fun series for certain months. Highly highly reccomend

This is so hard to answer because I have so many I love to listen to - which are basically all Australian comedy podcasts. Here’s 10 that I’ve listened to the longest and most frequently:

1. The Little Dum Dum Club
2. The Phone Hacks
3. Somehow Related with Glenn Robbins and Dave O'Neil
4. Mid-flight Brawl
5. The Mugg Off
6. Big Natural Talents
7. Shitting with the Door Open
8. Community Noticeboard
9. Feed Em Brah
10. The Becky & Cam Show

Even with this list (initially it was just 5) I’ve still got some great ones I listen to regularly that I’ve left off!

The first season of Good Assassins is incredibly gripping. It tells the story of a Jewish spy after World War 2 who spends months befriending a Nazi who escaped justice known as 'The Butcher' with the goal of killing him. It's a roller coaster

Friends at the Table is the best podcast.

It's an actual play podcast run in game systems designed mostly for story generation, operated by people who who know there's no such thing as a monster, and I'd never seen anything like it.

They ran some seasons in a post-fantasy-apocalypse world, some in a Star-Wars-meets-Gundam science fantasy world, and one recently in a Western sort-of-horror setting. I started at the beginning, with Autumn in Heiron, featuring orc archivists who work magic using extremely specific shopping lists, undead pastry chef boyfriends, and an "evil" alignment of "destroy something rather than trying to understand it".

But for the impatient you can start with Marielda. Marielda is a series of heists by a crew of illegal knowledge dealers, in a fantasy city that sounds like New Orleans, patrolled by living statues and ruled by a god who forged the sun, whom our players proceed to fight.

The sci-fi side, which is running its fourth season now, starts with COUNTER/Weight, a game set in the aftermath of a mecha movie never made. It features a character who is "what if Han Solo used to be Beyoncé", psychic hackers, and mechs who might be gods.

Also there's no sponsors because the GM is too punk for that.

Gastropod easily. They are so informative and it’s generally pretty entertaining if your into food and food history

Chilluminati. Jesse Cox who was previously on co-optional with Total Biscuit talks paranormal, internet stories and true crime. Jesse is a skeptic, his stoner co-host is way too into it and the third guy is neutral and just kind of laughs at it all. Better than it should be due to the balance.

Been really into hiking/backpacking lately so "Out alive" has been good.

I listen to way too many to name, but the two I always move to the top of the queue when they drop are Fright Pub (three very funny friends drink and talk about horror movies, to much hilarity) and Film Reroll (a bunch of talented actors and improv folks reenact and rewrite popular movies using tabletop dice mechanics).

Recently the latter did an insane reroll series of Memento that they recorded in chronological order and then re-edited and released in reverse order like the movie. In their E.T. reroll, they succeeded in getting E.T. off the planet and involved in an interstellar war. For Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, the GM invented a whole system for randomizing their trips back in time based on their phonepad keypresses, leading to a completely different set of historical figures collected for their final project. Truly nutso levels of craft and effort go into these episodes.

Stuff You Should Know and Conon O'Brien Needs A Friend

Timesuck. The long form, research based style is a refreshing departure from a lot of the content I consume most days. Plus, each week is a different topic, so you get a good mix of history, cults, serial killers, and a little bit of everything in between.

You're Wrong About Maintenance Phase Sounds Like A Cult Scarred for Life Pod and the Pendulum

TrueAnon. I recommend the series about Elon Musk, "The Lamest Show on Earth".

Because that always comes up: Yes, the name is making fun of QAnon because it's not true. They started out talking about Epstein, and that's an actually true pedophile conspiracy.

Beach too sandy, water too wet.

Brother and sister duo that read mean, outrageous and plain weird product and place reviews. Very funny.

Mysterious Universe

OK buddy this is the podcast that radicalized me. Its also low key turned into a rightwing antivax conspiracy fest, but seasons 1-25 were good. Just stop listening when covid arrives. Moderately funny, good if you like paranormal stuff.

Lets talk about sects

Not funny, actually usually horrifying, but its a great resource for anyone interested in learning about cults around the world and the shit they got up to.

My two favorites are Darknet Diaries and Dark Dice.

Land of the giants is one of my favorites

Only about 1 season a year but each season is about the rise (and sometimes fall) of big tech companies

Unexplainable is cool too, about weird sciencey things that we don't have an explanation for
