For me it's This Week In Google.

I listen to it every week and between new episodes I listen to the archival episodes I haven't heard yet.

Darknet Diaries. Full of fascinating cybersecurity stories and interviews, with both whitehats and blackhats.

Behind the Bastards for me. They have had some great and very informative episodes.

[-] MrVilliam@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I'm super behind and that mostly doesn't matter, which is nice. Excellent podcast. Currently on part 3 of the Thomas Jefferson deep dive. For people who like Behind The Bastards, check out their limited run of Behind The Police.

No Such Thing as a Fish, from the QI Elves. Funny, informative, rarely about current events which is a breath of fresh air. Just nerds getting nerdy about stuff.

[-] DampSquid@feddit.uk 4 points 1 month ago

Yes! I'm on my ~20th play though I reckon. I get to the end and go straight back to the start.

Til Death Do Us Blart

Every year around American Thanksgiving the members of My Brother, My Brother, and Me along with the hosts of Worst Idea of All Time watch Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 and discuss the movie. It's a surreal journey through the passage of time.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

Old MBMBAM is also very good. It’s horrible after a couple hundred episodes.

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Awesome, will check out

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

What a Hell of a Way To Die, Well There's Your Problem, The Unsubscribe Podcast, Bourbon Moth Woodworking podcast, Kill Tony, Creepcast, Time for Pie, Behind the Bastards.

There are others that are questionably a podcast.

Oh No Ross and Carrie was my gold standard of podcast... until they ended after 13 years... two days ago.... 🥲

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It a great podcast for sure. The ending was so awkward, that it's almost as if they want us to speculate about what happened to Carrie. They barely complimented each other, recorded separately, and didn't even like the other's goodbye announcement on social media. Very odd.

As far as I can tell from creeping, Drew and Carrie's pets are still alive, so it's not that.

[-] 8000gnat@reddthat.com 2 points 1 month ago

I literally logged into threads for the first time to lurk. Carrie is...posting images from a book she's reading. And then I remember that whatever her traumatic experience was and whatever the reason for the podcast's end it's not really any of my business 🤷

[-] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 7 points 1 month ago

The first campaign of Dungeons and Daddies is fantastic. It’s one I’ve come back to a couple of times.

[-] MrVilliam@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I just finished episode 48 on my first runthrough. Seriously good shit.

Knowledge Fight. Keeps me up-to-date on the right-wing grifter-sphere. Wacky Wednesday episodes were the best when they’d listen to Project Camelot or Jim Bakker. Equal parts SMH and LOL :) Long live the Bachelor Squatch!

Welcome to Night Vale and QWERPLine

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Technically its an audio drama but I love The Magnus Archives.

The Fall of Civilizations is a banger as well if you like history but I don't go back and listen to this one

[-] rehydrate5503@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

For me Mysterious Universe takes the cake. A couple of Aussie guys talking about anything and everything paranormal, big foot, lucid dreaming, missing 411, stone tape theory, mediums, hauntings, abductions, time travel, ufos, men in black, remote viewing, alternative history theories, etc. They don’t really delve into conspiracy theories which I appreciate.

They’ve been at it for ages, and they are on season 32 of the regular show and 30 of the plus show (2 seasons per year). Most shows they discover a book or essay and do a deep dive into it, explaining and linking it to other research.

My main draw is how they don’t take anything too seriously, and are able to objectively present a theory about “black ops stealth [person of short stature]”, mixed with “the meaning behind your Thai diving instructor’s tramp stamp”, and follow it by well researched interviews with authors and researchers. Giving facts and letting listeners draw their own conclusions.

All that to say, I’ve listened back to season 11 so far, and have thousands of hours of content. Highly recommend.

Cumtown/The Adam Friedland Show. It’s blue and crass and annoying at times but I’ve never laughed so hard at a podcast. Especially during the annoying, dumbest parts.

[-] antrosapien@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

The Hidden Brain explores the unconscious patterns that drive human behavior and questions that lie at the heart of our complex and changing world.

99% Invisible Design is everywhere in our lives, perhaps most importantly in the places where we've just stopped noticing. 99% Invisible is a weekly exploration of the process and power of design and architecture

Geomob Geomob is an event series and podcast for geospatial enthusiasts. Discuss some softwares, technologies etc regarding GIS

Invisibilia Unseeable forces control human behavior and shape our ideas, beliefs, and assumptions. Invisibilia—Latin for invisible things—fuses narrative storytelling with science that will make you see your own life differently.

How to Fix the Internet It seems like everywhere we turn we see dystopian stories about technology’s impact on our lives and our futures — from tracking-based surveillance capitalism to street level government surveillance to the dominance of a few large platforms choking innovation to the growing pressure by authoritarian governments to control what we see and say — the landscape can feel bleak. Exposing and articulating these problems is important, but so is envisioning and then building a better future. That’s where our podcast comes in.

Not so much anymore but I binged Hello from the magic tavern when I first discovered it. Also hardcore history, behind the bastards and Welcome to nightvale.

[-] Not_mikey@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month ago

Revolutions by Mike Duncan. It's a history podcast with each season about a revolution, American, French, South American etc. with a huge backlog

Already listened through once but now I put it on to go to sleep, cause it's fine if I miss something now.

[-] smackjack@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Cautionary Tales has some good episodes that I've listened to more than once. My favorite one is called Bowie, Jazz, and the unplayable piano.

[-] Zachariah@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago
[-] dodeca@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

If I could give 1000 updoots I would. I've been trying to find this podcast again for years!

awkward cake

[-] brognak@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

This one may be kinda weird, but I regularly scroll wayyy back in the Giant Bombcast feed and will pick a point in time and listen forward. It's like hanging out with old friends again, it's always kinda bittersweet. You always have a soft spot for your first parasocial relationship 💜

[-] wildflowertea@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 month ago

Swindled. The host’s voice is very soothing, and the humour used is right down my alley.

Barjory Buffet: The Cruise Detective

Relisten-able because it has the highest joke per minute ratio and tightest comedic writing you'll ever hear.

One part Beyond Belief, one part Wooden Overcoats, and one part Clue.

It balances nimbly crafted wit with camp absurdism, and the cast all nail the patter delivery. It has such a strong capable tone you know that you're in safe hands and your time will be well spent.

[-] POTOOOOOOOO@reddthat.com 2 points 1 month ago

Buddhist Bootcamp, Not Another D&D Podcast, and Scamtown

NoSleep. It's a great horror podcast

[-] Jobe@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Ty and That Guy, if you're into movies. They are Ty Frank and Wes Chatham. The Podcast started as an episode by episode discussion oft The Expanse (Ty was an Executive producer and co-author of the novel series and Wes played Amos), but they branched out to just talk about any movies they like. Amazing insider knowledge there.

I am actually currently binging old episodes of Critical Role, but it's my first time through so I'm not sure if that counts.

Also, I'd re-listen to most every 99% Invisible and Planet Money episode.

Relatos de la noche Mr Ballen's old stuff

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago
  • Judge John Hodgeman
  • We Got This with Mark and Hal
  • My Brother, my Brother, and Me

Have no continuous throughlines and can be listened to in any order. They're fun to listen to, and nice to have on as background noise.

I've re-listened to these several times.

  • The Thrilling Adventure Hour is a stage play that lasted 15 years in LA and survives as an occasional road show and live streamed show. They are in the style of old-time radio. My favorite segment is Sparks Nevada: Martial on Mars!
  • SPONTANEANATION with Paul F. Tompkins is extremely good improv comedy with many comedians you know or whose voices you'll recognize. Every episode is different!
  • One Shot: Campaign: Star Wars is a tremendously funny and collaboratively-chaotic Star Wars TTRPG actual play.
