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 don’t know why I’m doing so many.
5-4 ALAB (if they ever post) pod save America pod save the world sawbones
- 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.
The War on Cars
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.
- Black Box Down
- Settling the Score
- Decoder Ring
- Futility Closet
- The New Wave Music Podcast
Black box down was just canceled :(
So was Ship Hits the Fan. At least RedWeb is still kicking.
BBD cancelation is a huge bummer. I'm still slowly working my way through the back catalog. I have 88 episodes left.
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. It’s shock jock radio with lots of laughing at their own “jokes.”
…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(DnD), Behind the Bastards, The Other States of America, The Daily Zeitgeist, History Unplugged, Empire
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.
A cherry picked selection from this weeks' playback history...
