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.

Been going through Behind the Bastards and I enjoy it a lot. I started from the beginning which was excellent for understanding some of the memes and ongoing jokes.

I skip the “It Could Happen Here” episodes personally because they are very long and tend to bring me down, but they’re also really good and they really highlight the vulnerabilities of contemporary systems of government.

I’m fully in the Nick Weiger podcast universe so I listen to:

  • Doughboys
  • Doughboys Double
  • Get Played
  • Get Played Season Pass

Which are all comedy podcasts with similar people appearing. They’re about chain restaurants, random side bullshit, Video Games, and Anime respectively. Then I also listen to:

  • Quick Question with Soren and Daniel
  • The Film Reroll

Which is a podcast by 2 former cracked writers which is the only reason people listen to them and a podcast about playing through movies as role playing games

Film Reroll is a top-tier AP podcast.

If you like them, check out Dungeons and Daddies; it has a similar energy. I wish they’d guest on each other’s shows!

makeshiftreaper ,

The only reason I listen to Film Reroll is because it’s about movies. I don’t even listen to all of them, just movies I know will be fun/I’ve seen. Fifth Element, Mighty Ducks, Aliens, Last Action Hero, and Memento (which was incredibly cool how they did it) are the ones I’ve listened to since 2020.

Something about actual play just irritates me, especially for D&D. I’d just rather play myself

Oh sure, I just think there’s some overlap because the cast on Dungeons & Daddies are all filmmakers themselves so they go for more of a cinematic presentation than any other D&D podcast I’ve heard.

Personally I wouldn’t play D&D again because it’s not my kind of system, but they don’t waste your time like other AP podcasts I’ve tried.

But hey if it’s not your thing, no big deal; it’s kind of a nice thing to know about yourself.

  • Tosh Show
  • Talking Counter
  • HLTV Confirmed

Sometimes listen to

  • The Daily
  • StarTalk
  • Behind the Bastards
MegaUltraChicken ,

I’ve been loving Tosh Show. His guests are way more interesting than listening to comedians talk to comedians all the time. Don’t have any kids, so I find the bedtime stories at the end hilarious as well.

My pocket cast stats: You’ve listened for 115 days 14 hours

Honorable mentions not yet seem in this thread (English only):

  • The Guardian: The Audio long read - full articles read by real people (30-45 min.)
  • Economist: Drum Tower - China correspondence about culture and politics
  • Aquired - 3h+ episodes about tech IPO and the history of companies. Sounds boring but it gives a look behind the curtain of the tech industry from the 30s to today (fun example episode: PowerPoint)
  • WNYC: On the media - Meta talk about media topics and enshittification
  • Law and Chaos - Previously on Opening Arguments, now in their own podcast: US justice topics, GOP bashing and of course: Trump

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.

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

I subscribe to a few more, but I often skip them, but the above i listen to every episode.

multifariace ,

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.

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.
