• Trillbilly Worker's Party - Kentucky-centric Marxist jokers hanging out. They always know how to put a smile on my face, even if they're talking about bleak stuff.
• Fun City - Well produced live role playing of Shadowrun. The game is a few years in and I am just invested.
• ALAB - Lawyers talking shit. They're funny and I like learning about interesting cases. One of the characters they covered actually sued them and settled for an interview on the show.
• Desert Oracle Radio - Joshua Tree-centric paranormal stuff. Good for an old X-Files head like me.

Cumtown. Three comedians from New York just riffing about anything and everything. I think it's hilarious (usually) and they have some imo legendary bits, like Ben Shapiro getting raped by Mr. Feeney when he was a kid, Judge Dredd vs. The Mask, them talking mad shit about Jordan Peterson and making fun of his voice; even just talking about a hypothetical of one of the guys buying $40,000 worth of chocolate to commit fraud with.

Pendejo Time.

Jake and Thomas are two guys with fucked up pasts, just shooting the shit and improvising.

The only podcast that scratches the cumtown itch.

My favourite bit:

I grew up playing D&D and really enjoyed learning about the history of the game from When We Were Wizards.

Triforce (by Yogscast guys) is excellent.

It's just three funny, kinda nerdy, guys chatting shit. No scripting. Minimal ads. Funny stuff.

Bad Hasbara is a hilarious listen and extremely cathartic

History podcasts I like:

Revolutions. Well known; Mike Duncan goes through various revolutions through history in an excellent, detailed narrative.

American History Too!: two academics from the university of Glasgow have various guests on to discuss different topics from American history. They know their stuff and are really charismatic.

In Our Time: BBC podcast that's been going since the early 2000s. A panel of academics are interviewed and discuss a topic on which they are all experts. Incredibly well researched and interesting, though not especially humorous.

Science VS: They investigate the science behind trends. E.g. ozempic, protein powder, the male g-spot, weed strains etc. With citations for everything

Gastropod: The science and history of various foods

Radiolab: Documentaries on a wide range of subjects. Usually from an angle you wouldn’t expect

Wong Notes: Vulfpeck guitarist Cory Wong interviews other artists from a musician’s pov, which leads to much more interesting conversations than your usual interview

Decoder Ring.

If you feel like getting even more depressed about the state of the world;

Popular Front is a grassroots war/conflict reporting podcast by british journalist Jake Hanrahan, about different ongoing and developing conflicts around the world.

Kinda depressing, but often times far, far ahead of the large media house news cycles. Also offers a little bit of hope, with reports of why and how people on the ground are going against oppression of various kinds.

P.S. anyone know how one could bold comment/post text in the Jerboa app?

Please Stop Talking.

The main podcast is usually just a bunch of hosts getting together to share life stories, discuss some random topics and laugh and joke around (sometimes jokes can be dark and/or very stupid, but I find them funny as hell).

Besides that, they do Poundering Spooky Tapes (by the way all their podcasts are based on PST acronym). They watch a (usually) horror movie and discuss it. There are also commentary tracks available if you want to watch the thing with their live commentary on it.

Perilous StoryTelling is a DnD podcast that they do, very entertaining to listen to. They have two campaigns available, Folk and Dagger did not have a proper ending to it due to a key member leaving not in the best way, while Subliminal Space is new and is still coming out.

And finally they record Press Start Turbo, a fully gaming related podcast where they cover news, do interviews with people from the industry and cover a game that they all play for the episode and share thier thoughts about it.

Security Now is great for getting Tech/Security industry information explained in a way that's fairly understandable even if you're not immersed in it.

'Sawbones: a marital tour of misguided medicine' is a show about the history of medicine in the 'smart person explains thing to funny person' genre. Medical doctor Syndey Mclroy goes over the history of a disease or treatment at her Podcaster husband Justin.

Third eye drops

Excellent podcast about philosophy, psychedelics and psychedelic assisted therapies, maps etc. Tons and tons of Dr's of science guests and the host is just amazing

Ken and Robin talk about stuff. Two TTRPG game designer/writers discuss gaming, history, conspiracy theories, occultism, and horror.

Breaking Points has amazing coverage on American politics which matches up with reality unlike those CNN casters which keep getting "surprised" their coverage turned out to be wrong.

Hey Riddle Riddle - best humor and host interaction of any podcast I've listened to.
