Last Podcast on the Left- it’s great if you have a twisted sense of humor and enjoy the macabre.

In Our Time (BBC)- excellent for in depth historical discussions and more academic content.

Hardcore History- for when you really feel like running a nerd marathon (including, by way example and not limitation: a 23 hour-long history of the First World War.)

like

Ha - I’m a runner too (had some very good marathon outcomes), but don’t listen to anything when I run, but it makes for a more interesting commute, and since I listen to podcasts at 1.5-2.0x speed, I blow through these faster than the alloyed time.

BBC World News Service! Nothing like British accents to make my life feel fancy.

I have a regular schedule of NPR News Now, Up First, Short Wave, and the Daily in the morning, and Post Reports, the Journal, What Next and Consider This in the afternoon.

If I’ve got extra time, I like this American Life, Radio Lab, Slow Burn, the Jordan Harbinger Show, Stuff You Should Know, Criminal, and Amicus. I’ve recently stumbled across You’re Wrong About and Maintenance Phase, which I’m absolutely obsessed with, because they revisit so many issues of my millennial childhood that apparently were nothing like I understood them to be at the time. If I’m feeling super geeky, I like the We the People podcast from the National Constitution Center.

like

I’ll start. Aside from daily news podcasts (NPR Up First, WSJ, the Daily, Robinhood Snacks, etc.), I listen to a lot of comedy podcasts like Tiger Belly, Your Mom’s House, 2 Bears 1 Cave, and Bad Friends. I find them to be a nice break from reality and enjoy their conversational as opposed informative nature.

JRE

Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend -hilarious and he has OG comedians as guests like Ray Romano, Jim Carey. Why Won’t You Date Me by Nicole Byer - funny, trashy, there’s a lot of comedians as guests.

How Did This Get Made? and Behind the Bastards, because you gotta laugh at other people’s terrible decisions.

For more parochial interests: a bunch of soccer/basketball and lefty political stuff, because sometimes my blood pressure is too low. (It it not. Why do I do this to myself?)

Up First, This American Life, The Moth, and random Wondery series
