What podcasts have you been listening to the most during the year?

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.

Fall of Civilizations podcast.

Great insight it a number of civilisations that have collapsed throughout human history. Explains their rise, peak and of course collapse in great detail.

Love that podcast. If only there were more episodes.

They released one on Egypt pretty recently.

Yeah I know, already done. I actually use old episodes to fall asleep to

  • This week in Tech
  • This week in Google
  • No such thing as a fish
  • Waveform

I like listening to people play RPGs. I mostly enjoy them playing Pokemon but have run out of them I used to listen to M&M and now listen to DnD.

Any recommendations for podcasts in Spanish? Preferably where people speak in turn (not where 3+ people are speaking at the same time).

GissaMittJobb OP ,

I’d be interested in this as well.

I follow the Duolingo Spanish Podcast, which has had some moderately interesting stories over the years, but I’d like to hear something a bit more challenging for sure.

kambusha ,

I have 2 that I’ve finished that I could recommend:

  • El verdadero Robo del Siglo (duolingo actually has a short version of this; but this is the original one in pure Spanish)
  • La Cruda (Argentinean podcast, where he interviews an expert/specialist in a very specific field; e.g., a pilot, ER medic)

No Such Thing As A Fish!

From the makers of BBC’s “QI,” a (nearly) endless collection of useless facts that will not change your life, but will make you more fun to talk to at parties. Not that you go to any parties.

blindsight , (edited )

I’ve heard about this one before, but I’m downloading an episode now.

The one thing I hate about QI is that I’ve already seen it all and there aren’t any more episodes.

Edit: That was great. It totally scratched the QI itch. Among many other tidbits, I now know how leech treatments were discovered, that there’s a specific frequency that is arousing for badgers and sets off car alarms, and that in one year, over 700 American students were arrested for owning pagers.

Edit: Holy shit. The author of Goodnight Moon literally died from an overly-enthusiastic “can-can kick”. She did it to prove she was feeling fine… (ironically) but she dislodged a blood clot that instantly killed her.

Well now I know you’re the type of person who starts a podcast newest to oldest instead of the other way around lol

Anna from No Such Thing as a Fish recommended an Australian podcast called Smart Enough to Know Better years ago and I’ve been thoroughly enjoying both since. And I would say if you get the opportunity to see No Such Thing as a Fish live go for it. They are excellent live.

Not a lot, but several haven’t been mentioned yet:

  • Darknet Diaries
  • SANS ISC StormCast
  • 538 Politics
  • Lawfare
  • Rational Security
  • Perun - Technically a Youtube series, but there is a podcast feed for the audio
BonesOfTheMoon ,

I’ve been listening to a lot of This American Life this year. Gosh the stories are good.

Also this is pretty woowoo and the commercial part is really heinous but the Expanded podcast by To Be Magnetic is genuinely a really good self help podcast. It’s a lot of white women in fedora schtick but their advice is actually really very good.

Never been one for podcasts but man—the past few years have been super inundated with Drawfee and the related Secret Sleepover Society content on YouTube. It’s just so comforting as background noise while working.
