How has no one mentioned “Off Menu”? It’s pretty much always my first choice of podcast if published a new one
The only podcast I listen to is the only podcast that has ever existed and it’s called ‘All Fantasy Everything.’ Everything else other users have posted is actually All Fantasy Everything in disguise behind a Joker mask hiding deep in the jungles of Bolivia. Pretty twisted.
Beautiful Anonymous Search Engine Expanded This American Life Selected Shorts The Bald and the Beautiful (all drag queen podcasts will teach you things about sex you have never imagined). Why Won’t You Date Me?
I think you could use some commas or carriage returns here- unless that’s all one podcast?
I made it as a list and this is how the text came out, damnit.

(After the last word, two spaces for a new line, two returns for a new paragraph)
Thanks very much.
I didn’t notice the username before- I’m glad to help someone so active on lemmy! Among other things, you keep us “well fed” with crazy sovereign citizen posts 😂
Aren’t they wild? They absolutely slay me.
You said “they” rather than “those personhoods” ergo victo therefore your comment is invalid henceforth the UCC 130.3-A strawman is null and void. I will be sending a notarized coupon with writing at 45 degrees in red ink, which makes it official.
(Did I do it right? 😂)
Sawbones
The Marital Tour of Misguided Medicine? Nice.
I’ve never listened, but I’m in the McElroy orbit already so maybe I ought to give it a shot.
That’s the one! I say give it a try. Their episode on rabies and syphilis were pretty good imo
-
SciShow tangents (a lightly competitive science show)
-
Ologies (interviewing experts from different fields/ologies)
-
Fake Doctors, Real Friends (Scrubs actors rewatching scrubs, my favorite show when i was younger. Plus great behind the scenes of film making)
-
The Imp & Skizz show (just two gamers i love to watch, talking about creative stuff. Probably not as enjoyable for anyone who doesn’t watch them already though. Still love them and would love to see then succeed more!)
-
I prefer single voice, storytelling podcasts. I listen to them as bedtime stories a lot.
- Lore (the older episodes are better, IMO)
- Myths & Legends (snarky modern retelling of old folk stories)
- Fictional (when he actually updates it… same guy as above, but these are classic literature)
- LeVar Burton Reads (all over the board. It’s whatever stories LeVar liked. Leans a bit toward speculative fiction)
- Drabblecast, sometimes good if you like “weird fiction”
- Cautionary Tales (nonfiction)
- Just started getting into The Program. Clear Black Mirror influences here.
I also listen to Lore, Myths and Legends and Fictional as bedtime stories.
I would add “Nothing Much Happens” to this list. The podcaster writes these short stories and tells them in a soothing voice with the goal of helping you fall asleep.
I’ve seen that one in my podcast app, but my backlog is still so long. Might be good for nights that I just want to zonk right out though.
Cautionary Tales is stressful but fun. The host has a great style and podcast voice.
LeVar Burton Reads is often great. If you like LeVar and have kids in your life, they may like Sound Detectives! , wherein a detective and a 4 foot tall ear named Audie investigate missing sounds.
The thing I like most about LeVar Burton Reads is that it’s basically Reading Rainbow with the occasional “fuck” thrown in there.
And yeah, Tim Harford’s smooth voice is a much-needed balance to the anxiety inducing content of Cautionary Tales.
Behind the Bastards, Linux Lads, Linux Late Night, The Infinite Monkey Cage (when they do episodes), some spanish stuff for listening practice (mostly Hoy Hablamos), Hack-a-Day, Self-Hosted, and Cory Doctorow…
Have you found Spanish Obsessed? It’s a Colombian/English couple who just have conversations in Spanish about random topics at an intermediate level.
They have several podcasts, so make sure to find the intermediate level for the conversations. Their beginner level has much more spoken English and basic Spanish vocab, which I’m not as into.

A few that haven’t been said in other comments
The one I listen the most and for the longest is No such thing as a fish.
Other that that, Better Offline, Darknet diaries, Money Stuff, Search engine, a local politics one that I disagree with but I use to be aware of what my local conservative pseudo fascists are arguing about.
And not so regularly many others whenever there’s an interesting episode.
local politics one that I disagree with but I use to be aware of what my local conservative pseudo fascists are arguing about.
I really need to find something like for my area. I like to hear what’s being said in these circles.
In order of listening frequency:
The Greatest Generation
Behind the Bastards
Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend
Linux Unplugged
Darknet Diaries
None apart from that. You’re better off listening to pirated audiobooks, especially the full-cast kind with SFX like those created by GraphicAudio
