Many so far suggested are already in my subscribe list but a couple I haven’t seen posted yet that I enjoy are

and

We Hate Movies - A comedy group make fun of bad (and sometimes good) films. Full of actor/politician/youtube hack impressions, speculation about how the film might have gone with different actors, and insane ideas for sequels/spinoffs.

Thetwomikes on talksport are really good, hilarious.

Gave this a go for the first time last night and listened to a 30 minute episode of the history of ramblers in the UK. It was oddly compelling…

I like to hear what’s going in football so listen to Danny Kelly’s Trans Europe Express and on the continent.

The accidental tech podcast sounds interesting so will give it a go.

Some faves of mine:

  • Freakonomics - they have a lot of really interesting episodes, and can be super varied too.
  • 99% Invisible -
    • Some fave episodes; Vexillology (about flags), Super-tall 101 (about Taipei’s skyscraper), one about a building that needed some secret work to make it safe (but the name I’ve forgot), and one about the first popular tv laugh tracks and how they were made.
  • Stuff you should know - breaks down a lot of complex things and explains how they work. Very well writted.
  • Science Vs - scientists take on popularised ‘things’ and explain why sciences proves them wrong.
  • Reply All - neat stories about the internet and things that happen on it. They did a great one a little while back about a scammy call centre in india, which they went to visit.
  • The Allusionist - history of words and language.
  • No Such Thing as a Fish - weekly facts and chat from the QI researchers.
  • Season 1 of Serial.

And I think they’re the main ones!

Have you been to see my dad wrote a porno live? Hilarious! :rofl:

Loved it. Was so disappointed with season 2.

I’ve just discovered a new podcast which I’ve somehow managed to miss all these years - no idea how - The joe rogan experience podcast is brilliant. I’ve become hooked and highly recommend checking it out. http://podcasts.joerogan.net

Just listened to the first episode. Enjoying it.

If you’re really into the US election The Daily and 538 are both great listens right now.

Great talk with Tim Cook on the Outside Podcast.

It’s hard for me to reconcile the genuine warmth and humanity he exudes with the money grabbing behemoth I perceive Apple to be.
