For me it’s This Week In Google.
I listen to it every week and between new episodes I listen to the archival episodes I haven’t heard yet.
The Hidden Brain explores the unconscious patterns that drive human behavior and questions that lie at the heart of our complex and changing world.
99% Invisible Design is everywhere in our lives, perhaps most importantly in the places where we’ve just stopped noticing. 99% Invisible is a weekly exploration of the process and power of design and architecture
Geomob Geomob is an event series and podcast for geospatial enthusiasts. Discuss some softwares, technologies etc regarding GIS
Invisibilia Unseeable forces control human behavior and shape our ideas, beliefs, and assumptions. Invisibilia—Latin for invisible things—fuses narrative storytelling with science that will make you see your own life differently.
How to Fix the Internet It seems like everywhere we turn we see dystopian stories about technology’s impact on our lives and our futures — from tracking-based surveillance capitalism to street level government surveillance to the dominance of a few large platforms choking innovation to the growing pressure by authoritarian governments to control what we see and say — the landscape can feel bleak. Exposing and articulating these problems is important, but so is envisioning and then building a better future. That’s where our podcast comes in.
Barjory Buffet: The Cruise Detective
Relisten-able because it has the highest joke per minute ratio and tightest comedic writing you’ll ever hear.
One part Beyond Belief, one part Wooden Overcoats, and one part Clue.
It balances nimbly crafted wit with camp absurdism, and the cast all nail the patter delivery. It has such a strong capable tone you know that you’re in safe hands and your time will be well spent.
99% Invisible
Came here to say this show and Planet Money.
Office Ladies. It’s relaxing and fun and I hate stress.
Revolutions by Mike Duncan. It’s a history podcast with each season about a revolution, American, French, South American etc. with a huge backlog
Already listened through once but now I put it on to go to sleep, cause it’s fine if I miss something now.
Swindled. The host’s voice is very soothing, and the humour used is right down my alley.
This one may be kinda weird, but I regularly scroll wayyy back in the Giant Bombcast feed and will pick a point in time and listen forward. It’s like hanging out with old friends again, it’s always kinda bittersweet. You always have a soft spot for your first parasocial relationship 💜
Blowback
I am actually currently binging old episodes of Critical Role, but it’s my first time through so I’m not sure if that counts.
Also, I’d re-listen to most every 99% Invisible and Planet Money episode.
We’re Alive. It doesn’t feel like a normal podcast - more like listening to a movie. A movie with tons of zombies.
Behind the Bastards for me. They have had some great and very informative episodes.
I’m super behind and that mostly doesn’t matter, which is nice. Excellent podcast. Currently on part 3 of the Thomas Jefferson deep dive. For people who like Behind The Bastards, check out their limited run of Behind The Police.
I loved the Jefferson deep dive. I also lived the Robert E Lee deep dive. Fuck those guys.
Cautionary Tales has some good episodes that I’ve listened to more than once. My favorite one is called Bowie, Jazz, and the unplayable piano.
Darknet Diaries. Full of fascinating cybersecurity stories and interviews, with both whitehats and blackhats.
I kinda like the crime more
I think they tend to be more interesting too, yeah.
No Such Thing as a Fish, from the QI Elves. Funny, informative, rarely about current events which is a breath of fresh air. Just nerds getting nerdy about stuff.
Yes! I’m on my ~20th play though I reckon. I get to the end and go straight back to the start.
Dammi I gotta start that. It’s been on my list for ages and I’ve never heard an episode.
Car talk, Dan Carlin’s hardcore History, the maggott show, freakonomics, game design round table
