I can't find it on Pocket Casts, is it Spotify only?

Thartharaa, stories from history told in a way that makes them very moving, bro like I cried one time or two

We're Alive is a great story! Top notch production quality also.

If you enjoy HHGTTG, the podcast Star Tripper, has a similar vibe. Good story too.

I have three that I listen to: Distractible, Brain Leak, and Go! My Favorite Sports Team.

Kerning Cultures should be on the list of everyone who likes 99PI and This American Life. It's like those two shows had a baby and it grew up in the Arab world.

I was a huge fan of The No Sleep Podcast specially during the early seasons. But recently they've been trying so much unnecessary stuff which kind of takes away the whole fun of listening to it. They also started advertising brands after every story. Definitely recommend listening to the first few seasons though if you like horror.

  • The Unmade Podcast - Podcast about podcasting ideas
  • Smashing Security - IT security news
  • Eagle Nine: Locked - Story podcast
  • World's Greatest Con - Season 1 is about misleading Nazis on DDay, Season 2 is about Game show cheating, Season 3 is about infilitrating research about the paranormal.

Decoder Ring Theatre, phenomenal audio drama podcast that got better as time went on

[–] 2stovez@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Three major ones for me: Dudesy, What's It Called, and Never Seen It. All great comedy podcasts!

I really admire these two β†’ Radiolab and 70 over 70

For Spanish speakers I recommend 'Las Hijas de Felipe', about medieval/modern History (herstory?). They usually cover mundane things, rather than battles or empires.

They had me at "Ron Stampler hides in his pants."

This Podcast Will Kill You.

WTF with Marc Maron is a comedy podcast of interviews with comedians, actors, writers, and musicians. They’ve hosted some great guests such as Cillian Murphy of Oppenheimer.

Stuff You Should Know. Also a comedy podcast that is essentially a literature review on a plethora of topics covering everything from whether Mallory summited Everest to how HIV works.

The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish

[–] korny@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Dudesy is a new favorite along with Bad Friends

CodeSwitch Pop Culture Happy Hour Stuff You Should Know Stuff You missed in History Class Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me (more of a radio show but I like it anyway)

I started getting into True Crime podcasts. So far, I'm liking these

  • Crime Junkie
  • True Crime Couple
  • Casefile
  • Unsolved Murders: True Crime Stories (Although I don't listen to this anymore because it's a Spotify exclusive. It is pretty good tho.)

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

S1 and s2 of in the dark

Morbid, Red-handed, Wine & Crime, Criminology, True Crime Garage, Dark Poutine, My Favorite Murder, Small Town Murder.

Varying degrees of comedy, I cycle through favorites depending on my mood.
