I’m curious what people here listen to, and I’m also looking for new ones to check out. I’m personally a big fan of Linux Unplugged, MBMBaM, Lateral, and Twenty Thousand Hertz!
I also cannot get Lemmy’s search to work, so apologies if this was already a recent topic.
EDIT: I have so many new podcasts to listen to now.
Political Gabfest, The Intelligence (Economist), the Briefing Room (BBC), Battleground Ukraine, The Rest is History, any of the History Hit stable, Ezra Klein Show, Club Random, The Poetry of Reality, History of English
I’m currently enjoying “A Problem Squared”. A comedy / educational podcast hosted by 2 Australian comedians (who live in the UK), Matt Parker (Stand-up Maths on YouTube) and Bec Hill.
Honorable mention for another CBB Presents, Full Throttle! With Bob Ducca - extraordinarily brilliant, probably the hardest I’ve ever laughed at a podcast in my life. Limited run, so it’s concluded. He tells a story about posing as a monkey in a traveling circus that is somehow both tragically beautiful, and snot running down your face funny.
That does sound like something that works sick with you for days, if not years. I’m so sorry that you’ll spend the rest of your life having flashbacks on someone asking someone else how they like to be addressed.
To ask someone their pronouns at the beginning of a 1-to-1 conversation is pretty weird. After all, the only possible pronoun is “you”, which is not gendered in English (thank goodness!).
So really this could only be ideological posturing. Appropriate for a podcast called “Ologies” maybe, but I prefer to avoid ideology.
You’re right. Next time I chat with a stranger who looks and sounds like a man I’m gonna open with “So, he-him?” If you really think this is normal and necessary and not-weird, you’re living in a place most people are not. You know this already, of course. Indeed you probably feel morally superior about being in with the weird codes. Like this host, you’re on the team, you know how to talk. And that’s the heart of the issue cos what we have here is a coded form of sanctimony, and nothing drives ordinary folks crazy like sanctimony.
They left probably 12-18 months ago. There are new hosts (which will be familiar if you’re a long-time listener) and the quality of NEW episodes is probably just as good as the old ones, albeit with some format changes. However, I think they only release new episodes once every two or three weeks, but they rerun an old show every week. Kinda sucks. It used to be my favorite podcast
I have kind of a boring job that allows me to wear headphones all day so I have a ton.

Not an expert with Lemmy, but if it’s like the markdown interpretation on Reddit single line breaks are ignored. You need two to have it render with a line break. Alternatively you can do a numbered list or a bulleted list with single line breaks starting with 1. or *
This

EDIT: Ok. After playing with it, I think your lists would work if you put a space between the hyphen and first word on the line
You listen to No Dogs in Space, have several spooky/strange/macabre podcasts on your list, but not Last Podcast on the Left. Just curious if there’s a reason.
Henry’s raw sexual magnetism is too powerful. Men with priapism, women slipping off their chairs: I don’t want to be responsible for everyone’s arousal related injuries.
Never seen it with Kyle Ayers. Kyle invites comedians to write scripts for movies or TV shows that they’ve never seen. Then they do a brief table read of the script. Then they play games that Kyle has created. It’s a lot of fun, it usually very light and a lot of fun.
Dumb people town. It’s the podcast I have continually listened to constantly. Since like 2013 or 2014. Listeners will send in articles of news stories they find of people being dumb or doing dumb things.
