I’m looking to stock up on podcasts, whether in Mandarin, French or English. Don’t worry about my tastes I’ll sort it out later
But share good podcasts in other languages if you know any (it might be useful for other people)
Valley Heat. Great writing, hilarious.
Darknet diaries is one of my all time favorites.
If you like music analysis then Strong Songs is also interesting
And for a non serious listen I like to listen to Sherlock & Co, which is an amazing audioplay where Watson becomes a podcaster to deal with his PTSD. The adventures are self contained, so you can hop on any you like.
Ologies! " Each episode, Ward interviews an expert from a distinct scientific field (somnology, bryology, philematology, etc.)"
+1 for Ologies!
I’ll second Darknet Diaries! Hell of a podcast!
Darknet Diaries also has TOR website. Sadly it doesn’t have latest episode, so I don’t know if it will be updated.
I liked “David Tennant does a podcast with…”
Radio lab is great :)
I would love to know some Chinese one’s too
- The Bugle (satire about the news)
- The Deprogram (far left politics, very funny hosts)
- Blowback (documentary style show about US interventions in different places - more interesting than it sounds)
- Radiolab (sciencey stuff)
Knowledge Fight. Dan listens to InfoWars so you don’t have to.
He has immersed himself in the world of Alex Jones, InfoWars, and other right-wing shit-headerry for almost 8 years now, and he brings a depth of research and continuity to the conversation that nobody else really does. He goes beyond the usual “wow, what a hypocrite” criticism and thoroughly eviscerates anything even remotely resembling a valid point that these dicks make. His co-host, Jordan, screeches along in an occasionally hilarious fashion.
They’re about to release their 1,000th episode, and virtually all of them are worth a listen (even going back to 2016-2017). It really shows how often people like Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, Trump, Laura Loomer, and so forth have been overlapping and collaborating for years.
What’s your bright spot?
TENNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSS
- Red Flags Pod: F1 Podcast with sister show Vankah Hours starring Gunther Steiner as a third co-host.
- Hyperfixed: Show where Alex Goldman tries to solve a problem an audience sent in, no matter what the topic is.
Chalk Radio from MIT OpenCourseWare
I really enjoy this podcast. It’s great to hear that the professors at MIT share their passion and expertise with students and the wider world. One of my favorite episodes is Prof. Eric Grimson’s story about making computer science more accessible to everyone. It’s really motivating to think that there are so many talented teachers and resources available, which makes me feel confident and excited to keep learning on my own.
- Old Gods of Appalachia**
- Spooked
- One Strange Thing**
- Radio Rental
- Mr. Ballen: Strange, Dark, & Mysterious
- Lore**
- Small Town Dicks
** I love these so much, I subscribe. If Spooked had an ad free subscription model, I would support it too, but alas, they prefer ad revenue.
- Omnibus
- Darknet Diaries
Just started listening to Darknet Diaries last week. It’s really good, right from ep1.
My favourites are:
- Fall of Civilisations
- The Thing About Austen
I second FoC. I recently started this as kind of ‘podcast to fall asleep to’. I ended up staying up even longer…
I have been making a weekly podcast about amateur radio since 15 May 2011. It started life as “What use is an F-call?” and in 2015 was renamed “Foundations of Amateur Radio”. I’ve made over 700 episodes so far.
Starting in the wonderful hobby of Amateur or HAM Radio can be daunting and challenging but can be very rewarding. Every week I look at a different aspect of the hobby, how you might fit in and get the very best from the 1000 hobbies that Amateur Radio represents.
It’s available as audio, text, email, RSS, YouTube and Morse code and can be found on many podcast platforms. It’s also available on amateur radio repeaters, as eBooks and on lemmy.radio and it can be downloaded from the Internet Archive.

i freakin love season 3 so farOmg don’t spoil anything I’m still working through season 2!
I would never! Just sayin I love it 😁
Hell yeah I am so excited :)
Went looking for Reply All. I found that podcast as my “first” podcast, I’d never gotten into any before. Listened from episode one every day for weeks, and suddenly… They were announcing they were ending… I hadn’t realized they had ended…
Because they hadn’t yet. I somehow timed my listening of the whole show such that I heard the second or third last episode (where they first announced the ending) on the day it was put out… So I had to wait a week each for the last 2 episodes…
Great variety of content, despite the tagline…
All of the “The Rest is…” Podcasts are great that I’ve heard- Entertainment, Football, Politics, Classified, Money.
No Such Thing As a Fish by the QI elves.
The Infinite Monkey Cage
Curious Cases
*Stuff you should know" is a fun podcast, two guys go over a random topic.
They aren’t experts in anything, but it’s fun to hear them try to explain what they’ve learned about everything from how cranes work to darker things like the Tulsa race riots.
Josh and Chuck are awesome. I enjoy how they slip in false info jokes, and go off on tangents
Omnibus is also good in this vein. Ken Jennings and his friend go over some weird and obscure history you might not know about. It’s not very in-depth a lot, more factoids, but always pretty cool.
I see a bunch of other Cool Zone Media shows, but not Molly Conger’s Weird Little Guys.
Her calm cadence and thorough exploration of specific American wingnuts is fun. And as far as I’ve seen, most of the stories end with the guy dead or in prison, so happy endings.
I’ve really been enjoying it!
Almost TOO detailed and well researched, but I think that’s more on me for listening to her masterful work as distraction while doing other things.
