      Friend of mine introduced me to Behind the Bastards. Very much enjoy Robert Evans and his guests. Finishing the Josh Duggar series.

    My podcasts fall into two groups:

    Linux/Tech

    • Destination Linux
    • Late Night Linux and its brethren
    • Linux GameCast and its sister show LWDW

    Urbanism

    • The War on Cars
    • The Urbanist Agenda
    • Strong Towns Podcast
    • Upzoned

    They release on almost a daily schedule, so I always have something to listen to.

      I’ve been listening to CogDis since they had something like six episodes. It’s great seeing how far they’ve come.

      I really like all three of those guys but for some reason the podcast doesn’t work for me. It feels forced or disingenuous or something I can’t quite put my finger on.

        It took me awhile to like them, I see what you’re saying. I think it’s the interviews that are what really keeps me. They have honest conversations with their guests because they know them. It’s definitely a bro culture type pod.

    Deprogram, Safety Third, various HowStuffWorks series, Nosleep and Creepypastas, and also I have NewPipe so I mainly just listen to long YouTube videos as podcasts. Disaster Breakdown, Plainly Difficult, RMTransit, and Mentour Pilot are my current educational channels. Barely Sociable, Nexpo, Rob Gavagan for horror and true crime stuff. Some channels interleave the video and audio a lot more so they’re not as suitable for listening to.

    • Spout Lore (actual play dungeon world podcast which is an absolute blast of hilarity and wholesomeness)
    • Dungeon and daddies (first season is a masterpiece, after that, your mileage may vary, they are going too often in the “too raunchy” for my taste but there are some good episodes still)
    • Adventure Zones I recently dropped. I basically enjoy only the one off they do in the old West with ghosts and such. The main campaign is subpar since quite some time
    • Not Another D&D podcast, I’m catching up with the first season still, sometimes they go for the “over the top” for no reason but there are some good moments. I absolutely loathe the sponsors they use (like fucking turbotaxes and other exploiting companies)

    I had others but over time the quality dropped unfortunately.

    I used podcast for infotainment and keeping updated with work related stuff as well once, but since the pandemic I don’t commute anymore and the time for podcast is basically just for when I cook or clean.

      Have you tried Tale of the Manticore? Solid solo play, season 1 was great and 2 is solid so far.

      I just started listening to Stuff You Should know a few weeks ago, I really like it. Since I started at ‘the beginning’ it is a bit of a walk down memory lane, currently around 2009, it’s really funny and a bit strange… Are you up to the current episodes, is it still Chuck and Josh doing all the talking?

    If you like short and sweet (most eps. 20–30 min) and don’t mind being sad that it’s discontinued:

    A World Without

    Two buddies discuss what a world without a particular thing (one thing per episode) would be like. No color? No chairs? No numbers? They tackle these questions in often unapologetically unscientific, and always creative and hysterical ways.
