Any Interesting (Not Disturbing) Podcasts? (programming.dev)

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’m pretty hooked on Behind the Bastards, but his newer stuff has gotten a bit sloppy. Too much lazy dunking on conservatives. He does have some really good series though. The Jack Welch series sticks out in my head as particularly good. That, and G. Gordon Liddy.

5-4 is also a recent addition to my playlist.

Anything they do on Ron L Hubbard or Stalin is tops

What’s a specific example you feel is sloppy? I love BtB but yeah it’s always been hit or miss for me. A lot of times, it depends on the guest too. I thought the latest Sam Bankman-Fried ones were pretty entertaining.
