What are your favorite podcasts?

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.

CodenameNull,

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.

DrZoidbergYes,

Continuing the Australian comedy science theme - Smart Enough to Know Better is very good too.

NevermindNoMind,

Comedy Bang Bang

Hollywood Handbook

Hey Randy

Knowledge Fight

These are my “must listens” every week.

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.

thesushicat,
  • WTF - Marc Maron’s podcast with really great long-form interviews of comedians, actors, and other public figures.
  • Radiolab - about science, nature, and the human experience. Interesting and educational.
  • Don’t Ask Tig - comedian Tig Notaro and a guest answer listener questions asking for advice. Usually funny and heartwarming.
MorrisonMotel6,

Radiolab was great until Jad and Robert left. Now it’s 75% reruns

THB,

Haven’t listened in a while despite being subscribed! When did they leave and are there new hosts?

MorrisonMotel6,

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

NarsilNZ,

Daniel and Jorge Explain the Universe - great for particle and astrophysics

Jay,

“Für mich gibt’s nur einen Podcast: Fest und Flauschig!”

‘Fest und Flauschig’ is a great German Podcast, which takes an authentic look at current world events with humor, satire and heart.

NotAPenguin,

Hey Riddle Riddle, improv comedy/riddle podcast, very fun.

Harimau, (edited )

Twenty Thousand Hertz is indeed good.

  • SciShow Tangents
  • Numberphile Podcast
  • The unmade podcast
  • Tiny Matters
  • Through the web
  • Twenty Thousand Hertz

Sometimes:

  • Narcosis Into the deep

And some more german podcasts:

  • radioWissen
  • SWR2 Wissen
  • WeltraumWagner
  • c’t uplink

And some more stuff. Mostly science and knowledge podcasts.

Moobythegoldensock,

Ologies with Alie Ward

It’s a nice light introduction to a diverse array of fields you probably don’t know a ton about. It makes a good “drive to work” podcast.

JubilantJaguar,

After the host asked a bewildered scientist what his pronouns were, I just couldn’t listen any more.

wantd2B1ofthestrokes,

She does it on almost every podcast and I’ve never heard it take more than 10 seconds or have any pushback / confusion

Moobythegoldensock,

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.

JubilantJaguar,

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.

Moobythegoldensock,

What are you talking about? Alie constantly does asides where she talks about the interviewer in the third person or expands upon their comments.

JubilantJaguar,

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.

wantd2B1ofthestrokes,

Yes your reaction here really screams ordinary.

I’ve literally never asked someone for pronouns or been asked. And don’t plan to start. It also doesn’t bother me one iota that the host does this.

Moobythegoldensock,

I don’t host a show I’m airing out to other people so it doesn’t really affect my life. It really seems to affect yours, though.

If someone corrects me on pronouns, I apologize and use the correct pronouns because I’m a normally functioning adult.

cyberpunk007,
  • darknet diaries - stories about hackers
  • stuff you should know - interesting things you may not know about
  • Real Canadian true crime - stories of real murders in Canada
Ejh3k,

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.

Agent641,

Ok buddy, the podcast ‘Mysterious Universe’ is the show that radicalized me. One of the hosts is a blackbelt in hatespeech. The other one is the founder of the Alien Hate League, Earths last and best defense against the Extradimensional threat and defender of Linda Moulton-Howe’s fat mommy milkers
