    I don’t have as much time to listen to podcasts at the moment. The only one I’ve continued listening to is “Well There’s Your Problem”, it is sooo good. Just my kind of humor!

    The fall of civilizations - it tells the story of the rise and fall of different groups of people through history. Often with readings in the original tongue.

    From the same creator “vaccine” is the history of the creation of the works first vaccines. Neither podcast has any ads which is awesome.

    Lastly factually with Adam conover is great. Comedian discussing often political issues.

  • I love Throughline from NPR. Some of their episodes are very “cinematic” and great to listen too in bed with the lights off, though some might find some of the topics depressing, but you can mostly avoid thoose based on the titles (but those are sometimes the best episodes!!!)

    History podcast from the BBC : You’re dead to me

    I enjoy 'This American life, depends on the topic but it can be very interesting.

    If you’ve heard of QI from the BBC there is No such thing as a fish when they talk about a couple facts they’ve read. I find it pretty funny too.

    Mike Duncan is doing a new seasons of Revolutions about the Mars revolution (fictional of course) but before he did a bunch of others including the Mexican and French revolutions which I particularly enjoyed.

    Blowback does seasons about bad US foreign policy. For news about US foreign policy there is also American Prestige.

    Also listen to 15 minutes history from the University of Austin Texas. They just did something about the King of Haïti for example. They do new topics each episode.

    Also another history one if MartyrMade.

    And Trillbilly Workers podcast because I like to have no clue what they’re talking about lol

      Mike Duncan is fire! I really enjoyed all of it. But his “revolutions” podcast on early modern england was really interesting.

      I particularly enjoyed an episode (later on in the French revolution) that talked about the Paris fish wives march on the Bastille.

    Behind the Bastards has already been shouted out a lot. And I’m sure lots of folks on lemmy are big fans of Robert Evans as it is, but I haven’t seen It Could Happen Here or friend of both those pods Knowledge Fight mentioned. Both well worth listening to

        I’ve been a Cooler Zone Media subscriber since they launched that and it’s so much better without ads. I consumed a bunch of their content so $5 is well worth it for me

        for an anticapitalist podcast they really need to lay off the ads just a little bit

        May I know what do you mean?

            It’s an I Heart Radio podcast right? I♡R suuuuuvks.

            I love Cool Zone Media’s output, but their parent company is exhausting.

    • Swindled - Mostly white-collar true crime with dark humor and disdain aplenty.
    • 404 Media - The folks who used to do the Cyber podcast before they left VICE and are doing far better work, indy.
    • Better Offline - Another tech podcast by Ed Zitron. He loves tech and can’t stand how fucked up the tech-bros are making the whole thing, at our collective expense.

    Something a bit different, but Super Marcato Bros. They play through game soundtracks and give some musician commentary. I’d say their music curation for the episodes is pretty good.
