I got fascinated by the Supreme Court and that led me to a lot of political and law podcasts. I am notably not a lawyer so I donβt know why Iβm doing so many.

A Hotdog is a Sandwich from Mythical Kitchen. Lots of talks about interesting food debates. I don't think they have the titular discussion until like 300 episodes in, because they initially said they were never have that debate. Well, I guess they got more and more popular, so they did a 5 part series on whether a Hot Dog is a sandwich or not where they interviewed historians, philosophers, lawyers, and restaurant owners. It's a fun listen.
Other than that, I was listening to the House of The Dragon podcast, but that's over for now.

Firewalls don't stop dragons
- Levar Burton Reads - good short stories (today "D.P." by Kurt Vonnegut)
- Behind the Bastards this week: Stockton Rush, inventor of the Deathsub
- The Infinite Monkey Cage
- Evil Genius with Russell Kane (BBC) - last week, David Bowie... was he a genius, or simply evil?
- Something Rhymes with Purple - Fascinating look at English language.
- Drama of the Week (BBC) - occasionally brilliant plays.
- Desert Island Disks - Good when doing chores.
- 99% Invisible (Roman Mars)
- Slate Star Codex (narrated form of Scott Alexander's Astral Codex Ten column)
- Jack Rhysider - Darknet Diaries
- Maggie Killjoy - Cool people who did Cool Stuff
- Cory Doctorow's podcast
- Jennifer Briney - Congressional Dish
- Lex Fridman
the first three are all tightly scripted storytelling: generally non-fiction, but exciting or interesting. sorted by general audience -> niche audience.
the next three edge into political territory, sorted from politically-adjacent to 100% political (not punditry):
- Maggie's focuses on telling history. but she's self-described anarchist and it bleeds.
- Cory's is a narrated form of his blog. usually the overlap between tech & national policy.
- Congressional Dish is literally Jen watching hours of C-SPAN and reading 1000's of pages of text from bills to give actual deep-dives into congressional happenings.
Lex Fridman is if Joe Rogan was hosted by someone who actually did his research upfront, planned out his questions, and chose guests that are less divisive, and more academic or entrepreneurial.
if you listen to any of these, please leave a recommendation for something similar you think i would like! β€οΈ
I'm currently working my way thru prehistory season of Tides of History by Patrick Wyman (Fall of the Roman Empire guy). Came out in 2020, and I'm really enjoying the detail it goes into.
Currently 2, but unfortunately for (almost) everyone here they are both Dutch .
One is a daily news podcast where journalists and/or experts talk about something that is relevant right now. Every episode is 20-30 minutes and features a single topic. Today it was about the NATO leadership. Who could be the next leader, how is it decided and stuff like that. Yesterday about a national political party, the day before about Wagner's shenanigans on Saturday.
The other is a weekly 40 minute podcast about the war in Ukraine. There is a host and 2 former generals, one of them used to be the commander of the Dutch army. Every week they talk about what happened, why it happened and how it happened. They also have a certain topic that they talk about from their own experience or what they are seeing Ukraine right now. Like how tanks are best used, what the west can realistically (also factor in politics) do and how western militaries would respond so something like what Wagner did. Because they don't have to prove to anyone which side they are on, they can be honest and realistic. It makes a lot of news and opinions shared online look even more stupid.
Special shout out to Case File, Behind the Bastards, Criminal, Moth Radio Hour
Wrong Station: Episodic horror podcast based out of Canada. Very well written and superbly well acted. The only podcast I actively subscribe to the patreon of.
Nextlander Podcast: Gaming podcast from 3 of the founding members of Giant Bomb (Vinny, Alex, and Brad).
The Jimmy Dore Show: Comedy/politics talk show. I don't actually agree with his political takes 100% of the time, but that is more interesting than listening to somebody who always agrees with me.

Currently I really like rest is politics-leading. Interviews with different kinds of people bringing interesting perspectives.
- Tech Won't Save Us
- Congressional Dish
- Breaking Points
A few others that are sometimes good and sometimes not, but these are ones everyone should hear!
The Doughboys - a podcast where they review chain restaurants (fast food to fast casual to high end chains). The hosts (Nick Wiger and Mike Mitchell, comedians) have a love-hate relationship that makes it so fun and real. And their guests are the best.
I liked listening to Sad Boyz for a while.
Normally I alternate between the WAN show for some background chatter and The Linux Experimentβs podcast for some fun Linux news.
When Iβm looking for something lighter, I make my way through My Dad Wrote a Porno.

All of the Rogan comedy circle ones, JRE, Your Mom's house, Two bears One Cave, This past weekend.
Lex Friedman Podcast is great when I'm in a deep think kind of mood.
I found a niche little historical podcast on the American frontier called Furs and Frontiers
Lore and Cabinate of curiosity are always great to fall back in to for a bit.
Man, I feel like JR and Tom Segura are like the Howard Stern of my generation. But somehow less thoughtful, and more edgy. Itβs shock jock radio with lots of laughing at their own βjokes.β
β¦Now I feel bad. Keep enjoying what you enjoy.
Don't feel bad, to each their own. It's not everybody's thing and I get that.
I was too young to really know Howard Stern so never I don't really know him. It comes in waves for me, sometimes if I'm stressed at work I just want to listen to some stupid jackassery on my way home. Then other times I want to learn more or have a more thoughtful podcast.

High rollers! I've been meaning to listen to that, mostly because I'm a big hat films fan. Is there a good starting point?
Honestly I'd start at the beginning, it's quite a fun story and I feel like a lot won't make sense if you dive into the middle. I'm a little more than halfway through. I first listened to Rouges Gambit and after that campaign was over I ended up getting really into the Aerois campaign.
The Launch Sequence. Star Citizen focused podcast, pretty interesting
