Honestly, any podcast by Jamie Loftus (My year in Mensa, ghost church, sixteenth minute, bechdel cast, etc).
You’re wrong about, the constant, American hysteria, ologies, cool people who did cool stuff are some of my other faves.
I second some of these. I listen to cool people regularly, as the episodes release, and have listened to all the past episodes. I've listened to all of your wrong about with Sarah Marshall, who I totally have a parasocial crush on. I'm listening through the back catalog of You Are Good, which is a movie podcast with her. I don't even really watch movies. I've not listened to any of Jamie Loftus' own podcasts yet, but she's always a wonderful guest whenever she's on one of the other ones.
I feel like Margaret Killjoy of Cool People might not be too popular here, as she's very anarchist and rather critical of MLs, and IIRC she has less than great opinions about Ukraine. Personally I've not adopted a label and am not educated enough to do so. She's far more informed than I am and also a source of a lot of my personal leftist education, so I have a lot of admiration for her.
You’re definitely right about Maggie Killjoy. I still enjoy much of her work. I don’t know her personally but I have several friends who’ve worked with her and speak highly of her so I take the chance to promote her creative work if and when it comes up.
Edit: yes, also have parasocial crush on Sarah Marshall, but my main parasocial crush is def j loftus. It’s embarrassing honestly.
