Actually, nevermind, that would be too good of an ad transition.
+1 for Behind the Bastards. Robert Evans might be one of the few leftists around these days that I can tolerate to listen to for more than 5 minutes.
I tried it but wound up feeling the same way I do about the many nazi shows they used to play on History channel. I understand we should be wary of the villains of our past, but devoting hours of time laughing and talking about them seems disingenuous to the many many others who suffered from their actions.
I'm a big fan of No Such Thing as a Fish.
It's a bunch of researchers for a funny British panel show (QI) talking about their favorite fact they've discovered that week.
The Dollap - comedic American history podcast
Behind the Bastards - Robert Evans’ exposes some real rotten people with guests
Bill Burr - I just really like his weekly podcast even though I have no interest in sports
Knowledge Fight - this has been a hilarious/scary journey of 2 dudes reviewing Alex Jones Infowars since 2016
Love Bill Burr - his podcast is the reason I got into listening and enjoying podcasts back in the day!
If you’re someone who likes these you’ll probably like This Past Weekend with Theo Von. He’s usually got really good guests, and his energy is different than his stand up. I’ve really enjoyed listening.
My three favorite podcasts gotta be,
I wish Behind The Bastards would be in another format. Just can't stand that style of podcasting
I honestly really like it. Their casual humor brings balance to the otherwise dark content of the podcast.
Yeah, they talk about some FUCKED UP stuff on there. I'm glad Robert, Sophie, and guest(s) can joke a bit about things between some of the atrocities.
I never see this mentioned but Darknet Diaries is actually a really informative and entertaining podcast about hacking, the dark web, physical penetration testing (gone wrong), nation-state cyber attacks.
Yeah, I know little of IT (as I'm a mech engineer, in construction) but find the story telling to be so good it's one of my favorite podcasts.
My favorites:
I think 5-4 is the best legal podcast out there. It's refreshing to hear legal takes from a leftist perspective by people that know what their talking about. It helped keep me sane in law school.
Climate Denier’s Playbook is great. After enjoying Rollie’s YouTube stuff for so long it’s nice to see it translates well with bouncing off someone instead of just monologuing.
DarknetDiaries
It's the podcast I'm listening to right now. If you're interested in It you have to listen to it. The storytelling is just soo good. I really recommend the Episodes "Xbox Underground" and "Operation Bayonet"
Most episodes aren't actually about the dark Web and are instead about Cybersecurity.
I'm a big fan of the following:
Maintenance Phase: discusses health/diet fads and scams
You're Wrong About: debunking the popular (but misinformed) narratives surrounding many well-known events of the past
Underunderstood: going down the rabbit hole of strange "ungoogle-able" questions (this one really fills the void Reply All left behind)
Darknet Diaries: super riveting cybersecurity (or just general security) stories
It's actually a podcast about leftist takes on the news, and then they go into an engineering disaster after.
They know the audience is split on the additional content, and they don't care. Or they do care, and they land on the side of "we're doing it anyway".
Some I've been listening to lately:
Darknetdiaries the name sounds pretty cringe but it is a really good podcast about digital crime.
Rss feed: link
Lions Led By Donkeys - fun, irreverent military history podcast that is still quite informative
Hardcore History - more like an audio book that comes out once or twice a year. The WWI series is like 20- something hours BY ITSELF
Dungeons and Daddies, Behind the Bastards, and the Always Sunny podcast. To a lesser extent, "that happens."
Upvote for an actual play to try out. I'll happily add:
Redemption (a star wars podcast, just changed their name to smuggler's blues)
Friends at the Table, they play different systems and have fun running them. Players are having fun, but it's not a comedy podcast.
The Magpies, blades in the dark play. Not humor.
And Spout Lore, it started off as the GM trying to have a game with depth and it's a scaffolding held up by dick jokes. (Imagine that however you'd like)
I am not a D&D a person and my husband very much is. He loves actual play podcasts and desperately wants me to love them too, but I just can’t.
Dungeons & Daddies is the solution. It’s pure gold. It’s the first and only podcast I’ve ever joined a Patreon for. (I admittedly do also appreciate many parts of The Adventure Zone, but the daddies are comedy start to finish. No weird sappy awkward dramatic improv taking itself too seriously.)
Love Always Sunny! I just finished all 15 seasons of the show on Disney Plus and am really enjoying the podcast. The Dayman Cometh episode made me so happy.
I love this thread! Many of my favorites have been mentioned. My first first few are acquired tastes, but I have come to really enjoy them.
On the shorter side:
And a classic that I don't think has been mentioned:
I have added Chilluminati to try based on this thread.
Man, LPotL has really come a long way in their research depth and quality. Started listening for the true crime but I like their paranormal and cult stuff more.
Some of my favorite ones are their in-depth historical pieces. Their Black Plague and Manhattan project episodes left me emotionally devastated for days afterwards.
I like video games, goofy stuff, and tech. So lately, it's been:
Last Podcast on the Left. Cryptids, UFOs, serial killers, cults, history of bloody incidents, and other true crime, but it's a comedy podcast.
I listen to so many, its hard to pick one. My current favourite is probably Cautionary Tales with Tim Harford. He does really good podcasts and I've followed him over from his BBC Radio 4 podcast (More or Less) which I also love.
Cautionary Tales is about a major screw up from history and the systemic problems that caused it. It takes away from society's bias to lay blame at the feet of the last known individual involved and looks at the whole causal chain leading up to an event.
