Hidden Brain and Hardcore History
I like listening to Cose Molto Umane (it’s also available on all podcast apps). The host talks about fan facts and origij stories behind ordinary things. Comes out every day and it’s under 10 min am episode.
I know Jam from Radio Popolare, very funny guy!
I enjoy The Lemonade Stand
But you know does employ children, Sophie?
Well, There’s Your Problem, a podcast about engineering disasters, with slides. Not as dry as it sounds, a lot of it is taking the piss out of the people in decision-making roles who made the disaster possible. The video version is recommended for afore mentioned slide decks; none of the hosts actually appear on screen.
Fall of Civilizations - long narrative based historical episodes regarding civilizational collapse. One of my favorites by far
The Deprogram - 3 lads from vastly different countries yapping about socialism, imperialism, and world events with a relatively casual tone. They are silly guys and I like them.
Blowback - long-form narrative retellings of various US imperial crimes. Each season is a different country.
The Magnus Archives - my beloved. A horror/mystery audio drama that deserves an essay to describe it. This is my favorite work of fiction. I don’t even know where to start just try it please
I enjoyed A Podcast Of Unnecessary Detail. They stopped producing new episodes, though.
If you just want to laugh at some crass jokes and bullshit, I’d suggest Cum Town. It’s since ended, but you can find full episodes uploaded on YouTube, and there are some great bits.
Like Ben Shapiro getting assaulted by Mr. Feeny, or when they bullshit around about Gene Roddenberry being an absolute pimp, or when they’re making fun of Jordan Peterson
