They had me at "Ron Stampler hides in his pants."

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.

I have three that I listen to: Distractible, Brain Leak, and Go! My Favorite Sports Team.

Thartharaa, stories from history told in a way that makes them very moving, bro like I cried one time or two

I was a huge fan of The No Sleep Podcast specially during the early seasons. But recently they've been trying so much unnecessary stuff which kind of takes away the whole fun of listening to it. They also started advertising brands after every story. Definitely recommend listening to the first few seasons though if you like horror.

Vulgar history

Three major ones for me: Dudesy, What's It Called, and Never Seen It. All great comedy podcasts!

For Spanish speakers I recommend 'Las Hijas de Felipe', about medieval/modern History (herstory?). They usually cover mundane things, rather than battles or empires.

We're Alive is a great story! Top notch production quality also.

If you enjoy HHGTTG, the podcast Star Tripper, has a similar vibe. Good story too.

Decoder Ring Theatre, phenomenal audio drama podcast that got better as time went on

The Dollop and Casefile True Crime are my two favorites

Kerning Cultures should be on the list of everyone who likes 99PI and This American Life. It's like those two shows had a baby and it grew up in the Arab world.

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.

• The Unmade Podcast - Podcast about podcasting ideas
• Smashing Security - IT security news
• Eagle Nine: Locked - Story podcast
• World's Greatest Con - Season 1 is about misleading Nazis on DDay, Season 2 is about Game show cheating, Season 3 is about infilitrating research about the paranormal.

I am not sure how it doesn't seem like these have been listed yet, maybe they are too obvious. But here is my list:

-Radiolab (Amazingly well told stories about every topic)

-Reply All (Hilarious dudes talking about internet trends and memes mostly)

-More Perfect (Essentially RadioLab but specifically focused on interesting supreme court history)

I really admire these two → Radiolab and 70 over 70

Shagged Married Annoyed

I like brittish comedy, but I'm not brittish myself :)

I started getting into True Crime podcasts. So far, I'm liking these

• Crime Junkie
• True Crime Couple
• Casefile
• Unsolved Murders: True Crime Stories (Although I don't listen to this anymore because it's a Spotify exclusive. It is pretty good tho.)

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I really like The Lost Drivein if I just want to tune out and laugh, their movie review style is pretty entertaining

CodeSwitch Pop Culture Happy Hour Stuff You Should Know Stuff You missed in History Class Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me (more of a radio show but I like it anyway)

The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish

Dudesy is a new favorite along with Bad Friends

WTF with Marc Maron is a comedy podcast of interviews with comedians, actors, writers, and musicians. They’ve hosted some great guests such as Cillian Murphy of Oppenheimer.

Stuff You Should Know. Also a comedy podcast that is essentially a literature review on a plethora of topics covering everything from whether Mallory summited Everest to how HIV works.

Omnibus, if forced to choose only one.
