- Morbid (True Crime/Mysteries)
- Behind the Bastards (History/Biography with some humor)
- No Sleep (Fictional Horror Audiodrama)–
I like Robert Evans
This week’s Behind the Bastards about Jim Caviezel is hilarious.
Yeah, that one stung because I loved his version of The Count of Monte Cristo.
My son loves Behind the Bastards!
Better Offline: explains a lot of things that are wrong with today’s tech. Mostly Ed ranting about enshittification/AI in everything
Darknet diaries. It’s about anything security, spy, hacking, some networking bots, etc. do NOT need to be a nerd to love it, recent episode was a guy who started tracking stolen bikes and found a crazy web of criminals though patterns.
Very well spoken, very well edited, very easy to listen to, even if you’re technically challenged.
The Dollop is one of my all time favourites.
Lateral - guests try to solve weird puzzles that require lateral thinking
Regular Features - regulars take turns telling a funny story each. They can be all kinds of different things. Songs, plays where everyone needs to get involved, or even true stories backed up with covert voice recordings.
That’s Absurd Please Elaborate - regulars either explain something weird and interesting or listeners will prompt then with a question that they will go and research and explain in the podcast.
Horne Section Podcast - Little Alex Horne (of Taskmaster fame) interviews a guest alongside his band that will keep playing improv music of all kinds of different genres throughout. Regularly playing songs that end up being relevant to the guest, for example could be a funny retelling of their life or some fun word play on their name etc. the banter between Alex and band makes this one. They probably didn’t even need guests to be honest.
A Problem Squared - 2 regulars each try to solve a question posed by listeners. Is often very intellectual but the two hosts are very witty and can find an interesting and funny way to explain someone’s complicated concepts that anyone could understand and learn from.
James Acasters Perfect Sounds - each episode James shares an album specifically from the year 2016 to try and convince them that 2016 was the best year in music in an attempt to justify his obsession of trying to physically collect every album released in 2016. The reasons for it being 2016 specifically are very personal to him and uses each album to explain why. (This is like a companion piece/extension to a book he wrote prior on the same subject, except this time with other people involved and their opinions as well as the audible medium allowing him to share snippets of the sins they are talking about).
Some other ones I regularly listen to: Cox n Crendor Geekenders Bill Burr’s Monday Morning Podcast C.R.E.A.M. (Cars Rule Everything Around Me - The TDC Podcast) SmartLess Windbreaker Better Offline (A good one for Tech Sceptics that hate the big tech monopolies)
Oologies. A charming interviewer talks to experts in various disciplines.
I’m a fan of Lingthusiasm. It’s two linguist friends chatting about interesting things in their field. They keep it pretty approachable for non-linguists (like me)
deleted by creator
I hope you enjoy it! The podcast is in English, but they don’t always talk about English linguistics. One of the two hosts works primarily on Nepalese languages, and they frequently have guests on to discuss their work
I couldn’t find it, can you share the link or at least mention one of the hosters?
I can! Here is the first episode on their website https://lingthusiasm.com/post/154520059101/lingthusiasm-episode-1-speaking-a-single-language
The episode can be listened to via soundcloud on that page. Slightly further down the page, it has links to the episode on Spotify, iTunes, and Youtube as well, plus an RSS link. The hosts are Lauren Gawne and Gretchen McCulloch
Done, thanks
Though I’ve never studied lingthusiasm as a student, I have always preceived it as complex when I read something about it , I’ll give this podcast a try

The Magnus Archives is still the best podcast of all time, if you’re into audio dramas.
I also love The Deep 3, Thinking Basketball, and the No Dunks podcast for the NBA.
This Podcast will Kill You. It’s about illness causing pathogens and poisons. It’s super cool they break it down so nicely. AND they cite their sources!!!
Yes. This one! Sawbones is good too(-a doctor and a comedian podcast)
Oooo yes! I’ve listened to them too!!!
Here are some I really enjoy, which I also use to fall asleep to.

- The Spy Who - Awesome storytelling about different spystories from around the world
- It could happen here - Podcast that tells how a second american civil war could happen
- Decoding the gurus - decoding weirdos like musk, jordan peterson and other scammers
The three I listen to on a regular basis:
- Adrift - stories of introverts and social awkwardness
- The Cryptid Factor - sometimes about cryptids

Is adrift hosted by Geoff Lloyd and Annabel Port?
Yes, that’s the one.
