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.

For college football fans, Shutdown Fullcast, the only college football podcast. They occasionally accidentally talk about football.

Hard Fork - I love the hosts and the current popular tech news Pantsuit Politics - some really thoughtful nuanced views (Sarah can get a little spicy but it’s fun and informative) Knowledge Fight Maintenance Phase (only releasing intermittently right now but the hosts are hilarious and it’s good info about all things health and nutrition…good myth debunking)

And these ones are very popular and probably not unknown to you but I listen to Up First (NPR) and The Daily every single day as they’re good, short to moderate length current news podcasts…relatively unbiased.

I also listen to Pod Save America, Slate Political Gabfest, FiveThirtyEight, The Bulwark and Strict Scrutiny for a wide range of political arenas (lefty, righty, polling, judiciary…not in that order necessarily)

The one podcast I listen to every week as it comes out is Lateral, a trivia show hosted by Tom Scott with rotating guests.

Other than that, I have a thing for casual and conversational history podcasts, including:

  • The Lesser Bonapartes (old but gold, the full backlog’s only available on spotify under the title ‘From the desk of Glen’)
  • Dead Ideas
  • Some ‘leader ranking’ podcasts with the same formula: Rex Factor (British monarchs), Totalus Rankium (Roman Emperors and then American Presidents) and Pontifacts (Popes)

Huberman. The single best podcast the world could have currently.

F**k Face and Face Jam were my jam, but I have no clue how long they’ll be around what with Rooster Teeth being shut down. Otherwise, I try to keep up with Factually! as often as I can.

I’m a sucker for true crime, so I would recommend anything like that.

Then there’s No Such Thing as a Fish, which I find fun. Star Talk… Oh and I’ve been listening to that one with Zach Braff and Donald Faison where they rewatch Scrubs together and talk about each episode together with a relevant guest per episode. The Scrubs one happens during the pandemic as well, which they talk about sometimes, and it’s interesting to hear how they are reacting to it and losing their loved ones.

Give Srsly Wrong a shot! The Wrong Boys are funny and earnest and I always learn something from them.

And so much more. It may just be three dudes from Ohio bullshitting around in a basement but I fucking love it

Serious Trouble, by the further hosts of (and essentially a continuation of) All the President's Lawyers.

Nocturne, by Vanessa Lowe. A podcast about the night, and things that happen during the night. Favorite episodes: Night ways about what ancient people use to do at night and how archeology and anthropology are changing their perceptions; Finding the Void about a guy who lived inside a mall; On the North Face about a guy who got lost while climbing Mount Shasta; What's Would You Do about the fear of night.

I usually check in on The Daily like once a week to see if anything interesting has been covered.

And This Week in Virology, which I got into during the pandemic. Usually the weekly update on Friday on what contagious diseases are currently circulating, and about half the time their Sunday episode.
