I’m looking to stock up on podcasts, whether in Mandarin, French or English. Don’t worry about my tastes I’ll sort it out later
But share good podcasts in other languages if you know any (it might be useful for other people)
The Constant by Mark Chrisler. It covers examples of all the different way people have been wrong throughout history like thinking birds flew to the moon for winter or how homeopathy started. I always find it super interesting and pretty funny too.
It’s the only podcast I subscription to on patron.
I like fiction podcasts, and the main one I’m working through currently is The Magnus Archives. Each episode is a short first-person paranormal horror story, and they start out pretty standalone, eventually building more background and connections between the stories and adding more “frame story” about the people collecting these tales. I wouldn’t say it’s an SCP clone, but it’s kind of shaped similarly.
I see a bunch of other Cool Zone Media shows, but not Molly Conger’s Weird Little Guys.
Her calm cadence and thorough exploration of specific American wingnuts is fun. And as far as I’ve seen, most of the stories end with the guy dead or in prison, so happy endings.
I’ve really been enjoying it!
Almost TOO detailed and well researched, but I think that’s more on me for listening to her masterful work as distraction while doing other things.
It’s a watch along podcast for quite possibly the lowest depths of US reality TV, Mountain Monsters.
Their other podcast The Dogg Zzone 9000 is at least as funny, though it is dependent upon which cursed media artifact from the wrong dimension which they’re reviewing.
The Linux Experiment
Really enjoy the rest is history.
The Dumb Zone. I promise. I pay for an annual sub. Good fun with some sports mixed in.
Behind the Basards, History of Rome and Revolutions by Mike Duncan, Hardcore History.
I absolutely love these:
- Clearer Thinking with Spencer Greenberg (behavioral psychology)
- The Sloppy Boys (comedy cocktails)
- The Bugle (comedy satire politics)
- Danny Wallace’s Important Broadcast (comedy radio show)
- Heavyweight (comedy mystery)
- HomeAssistant podcast (smarthome tech HomeAssistant)
- Self-Hosted (tech)
- Maintenance Phase (comedy wellness)
- Severance Podcast (tv show Severance)
- Strong Songs (your favorite songs, explained)
- All Consuming (comedy product reviews)
Lions Led By Donkeys! Weird and usually stupid military history, featuring everything from Roman warfare up to Vietnam.
I’ll also toss in Well There’s Your Problem. It’s an engineering disasters podcast. With slides (if you’re watching on YouTube).
If you want more in-universe crossover, Kill James Bond and What a Hell of a Way to Dad are also good. So is Failure to Launch
You are not so smart podcast
Basically a book club about psychology books
While I don’t agree with all his politics, I do enjoy his style. He asks a question then he shuts up and lets the other side talk.
Doesn’t interrupt.

Second how did this get made, listened to it on the way back from a trip this afternoon. I avoid the “Live!” ones as they are usually very poorly mixed and often the audience gets involved so you just sit and listen to badly mixed laughter for 4 minutes. Go see em live if you want that experience.
Available in Morse Code , dude you rock

I have been making a weekly podcast about amateur radio since 15 May 2011. It started life as “What use is an F-call?” and in 2015 was renamed “Foundations of Amateur Radio”. I’ve made over 700 episodes so far.
Starting in the wonderful hobby of Amateur or HAM Radio can be daunting and challenging but can be very rewarding. Every week I look at a different aspect of the hobby, how you might fit in and get the very best from the 1000 hobbies that Amateur Radio represents.
It’s available as audio, text, email, RSS, YouTube and Morse code and can be found on many podcast platforms. It’s also available on amateur radio repeaters, as eBooks and on lemmy.radio and it can be downloaded from the Internet Archive.
