LeVar Burton Reads
It’s exactly what you see on the label. Curated collection of short stories read by Mr. Buron. There are very few “to be continued” episodes, so you can pretty much jump in wherever and have a listen.
Origin Story - two people (from British print media) go into the backgrounds of terms, groups, ideologies, and people in the news.
General interest
- Hardcore History (the best!)
- A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs
- Myths and Legends
Game history
- Retronauts
- Video Game History Hour (Video Game History Foundation)
- New Books in Game Studies (I haven’t listed yet, but the description sounds interesting anyway)
Talking about current video games
- Kit and Krysta
- Vic’s Basement (Electric Playground)
- Easy Allies (Haven’t tuned in since a lot their personalities left, but they’ve still got a solid crew)
Thanks for the recommendations. No idea Victor Lucas had a podcast, I’ll have to check it out.

The Fall of Civilizations is hauntingly beautiful
A few not yet mentioned:
- Well There’s Your Problem - a podcast about engineering disasters
- Hard Fork - a weekly tech news show, with banter similar to what you could find on Reply All before that was ended
- The War on Cars - an urbanism-podcast
- The Urbanist Agenda - another urbanism-podcast, by the creator behind Not Just Bikes
- The Climate Denier’s Playbook - a climate-podcast
- Hyperfixed - by one of the hosts of Reply All
And a vote for previously mentioned podcasts:
- 99% Invisible - a podcast about design, arguably my favourite
- Darknet Diaries - a podcast about cybersecurity
The only one I listen to anymore is the WAN show. I just never have time to listen to them anymore so it usually takes 3-4 days to finish it.
The materialism podcast has stopped, but is absolutely worth listening to the backlog. It’s a material science podcast.
What’s Left of Philosophy? - Good for elevating your philosophy game.
DOS GAME CLUB
Darknet diaries. It’s about anything security, spy, hacking, some networking bots, etc. do NOT need to be a nerd to love it, recent episode was a guy who started tracking stolen bikes and found a crazy web of criminals though patterns.
Very well spoken, very well edited, very easy to listen to, even if you’re technically challenged.
https://www.youtube.com/@doomscrollpodcast/podcasts (“Doomscroll explores online culture and politics in the 21st century.”) (thoughtful one-on-one interviews with people that are active in youth culture, including people related to Chapo Trap House)
https://www.youtube.com/@spoonkid57/podcasts (a person who runs a Rust gaming channel talks with their friends about various things)
Beautiful Stories From Anonymous People, basically someone calls in to talk about anything they want with the host (comedian Chris Gethard). The caller can hang up any time, the host must hang up after exactly one hour.
People call in to talk about so many different things, and Gerhard is really good at getting people to open up in a very genuine yet casual manner.
Unmade Podcast - 2 dudes talking podcast.
