What podcasts have you been listening to the most during the year? (lemmy.ml)

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.

The Cool Zone people do put out a ton of content, I don't know how they do it. I commute and hour each way to work, and between Behind the Bastards and It Could Happen Here, that gets me through almost the whole week.

I know they all have other shows now too. I have listened to Margaret Killjoy's Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff a few times now as well. It's like BtB, but more like the BtB Christmas Special where it focuses on people that have tried to make positive changes instead of the villains. It's nice to have the same quality content but with a somewhat positive spin.

If you want to get into it without it taking up all your time, see if Robert's or Margaret's topic is something that really looks good, or if it doesn't you can check out ICHH, which is split up into segments anyway and you can enjoy that in smaller portions.

Besides those, I enjoy Threedom (comedy show with Scott Aukerman of Comedy Bang Bang, Paul F Tompkins who was Mr Peanutbutter on Bojack Horseman, and Lauren Lapkus of Jurassic World, OitnB, and a ton of other things), How I Built This with Guy Raz, and Planet Money from NPR.
