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 Indicator by Planet Money from NPR: they talk about what they feel are important indicators for the current economy, and expand on various economic topics in ways that I think anybody can understand, and are rather short.

    The 1A from NPR: they talk about various topics that are affecting the US. They like to get people to chime in with their views, and have some experts on the topics to discuss context and how certain groups are or aren’t pushing for changes. Its usually close to an hour long, and not all topics interest me, but they do talk about fake news, presidential elections, housing, mental health etc.

    Planet Money from NPR: longer form discussions of economics, somewhat similar to the Indicator, but not as short form and they really expand on economic stories that I think are really interesting. Some topics include how, many, random people, can relatively accurately determine the weight of a cow (and how this defines the economy), the real estate trail that recently occurred and its background.

    I was never a podcast person until I listened to Otherworld. It gives a platform to people to tell their paranormal stories without sensationalism or judgement. They cover a wide range of topics from hauntings to cryptids to aliens. Really cool stuff even if you’re a skeptic

    I wanted to finish Wheel of Time, but couldn’t slog my way through all the books again, so I listened to the Dragon Re-Read. A ton of fun conversation and saved me so much time and reading.

    Castle Super Beast is what I put on for grinding in video games. Woolie Madden & Patrick Boivin from SBFP made their own podcast after dissolving the channel, and it’s now been going on for about as long as their old podcast. It’s about a bunch of nerd bullshit like video games, but with a slight veneer of a focus on industry news.

        funny enough, the tbfp subreddit is what actually got me onto lemmy. There was a tiny sbfp community that popped up around the blackout protest, but it faded pretty quick.

        I was on the Pathfinder.social instance for a little bit until that died off too, and then hopped over to a tiny art instance called crystals.rest, and now onto the warframe instance. This one’s surprisingly resilient for how niche it is!

        That’s how I was made aware of “The History of Rome”. I listened to the last chapters of “Revolutions” and decided to start from the beginning before listening to the rest.

        My current “roadmap” of sorts is to finish “The History of Rome”, then "The History of Byzantium* (not made by Duncan) and listen to the rest of “Revolutions” afterwards

      Make sure to follow it up with Robin Pearson’s History of Byzantium. He’s still centuries away from done, but I like it even better than Mike Duncan’s after it gets going.

    The only podcasts I listen to are the unexpectables ones. I don’t even really like DND but MontyGlu is an amazing voice actor and role player… Like you can tell she genuinely cares for her NPCs and can tell the differences in characters from the nuisance of her characters and the candor I’m which they speak. I haven’t had much luck finding that else where. And that’s ignoring the fantastic world she has built for her players.

    WARK.
