I’m looking to stock up on podcasts, whether in Mandarin, French or English. Don’t worry about my tastes I’ll sort it out later
But share good podcasts in other languages if you know any (it might be useful for other people)
Is there any podcasts that are interesting that isn’t a cus her white guy?

This Podcast Will Kill You - good shit about various diseases/poisons
While I don’t agree with all his politics, I do enjoy his style. He asks a question then he shuts up and lets the other side talk.
Doesn’t interrupt.
@ShawnRyanShow On YouTube.
Worst of all and WTYP are excellent. Those are the two I’ve listened to.
I can also recommend QAA, Knowledge Fight, and Lions Led by Donkeys
I absolutely love these:
- Clearer Thinking with Spencer Greenberg (behavioral psychology)
- The Sloppy Boys (comedy cocktails)
- The Bugle (comedy satire politics)
- Danny Wallace’s Important Broadcast (comedy radio show)
- Heavyweight (comedy mystery)
- HomeAssistant podcast (smarthome tech HomeAssistant)
- Self-Hosted (tech)
- Maintenance Phase (comedy wellness)
- Severance Podcast (tv show Severance)
- Strong Songs (your favorite songs, explained)
- All Consuming (comedy product reviews)
The Severance podcast is a really great behind the scenes extrapolation of each episode by the cast and crew. I recommend this one too! It’s fun to hear how many of them are fans of the show since most of them had no idea what was going on while filling their portion.
The Dumb Zone. I promise. I pay for an annual sub. Good fun with some sports mixed in.
I like fiction podcasts, and the main one I’m working through currently is The Magnus Archives. Each episode is a short first-person paranormal horror story, and they start out pretty standalone, eventually building more background and connections between the stories and adding more “frame story” about the people collecting these tales. I wouldn’t say it’s an SCP clone, but it’s kind of shaped similarly.
It’s a watch along podcast for quite possibly the lowest depths of US reality TV, Mountain Monsters.
Their other podcast The Dogg Zzone 9000 is at least as funny, though it is dependent upon which cursed media artifact from the wrong dimension which they’re reviewing.
Really enjoy the rest is history.
I see a bunch of other Cool Zone Media shows, but not Molly Conger’s Weird Little Guys.
Her calm cadence and thorough exploration of specific American wingnuts is fun. And as far as I’ve seen, most of the stories end with the guy dead or in prison, so happy endings.
I’ve really been enjoying it!
Almost TOO detailed and well researched, but I think that’s more on me for listening to her masterful work as distraction while doing other things.
The Constant by Mark Chrisler. It covers examples of all the different way people have been wrong throughout history like thinking birds flew to the moon for winter or how homeopathy started. I always find it super interesting and pretty funny too.
It’s the only podcast I subscription to on patron.
In no particular order, I listen to all of them regularly:
-
Omnibus - general obscure history hosted by indie rocker John Roderick and Jeopardy’s golden boy Ken Jennings
-
The Dollop - (mostly) American history with a leftist bent. One comedian reads a story the other hasn’t heard before.
-
Not Another D&D Podcast - apologies for the first episode, but great world- and character-building. Really shows how great cooperative storytelling can be
-
Last Podcast on the Left - comedy/horror. Conspiracies, cults, UFOs, and other weird shit. Their historical deep dives are awesome.
I listen to these regularly, but there’s a limited series podcast I like to recommend called S-Town. It’s excellent, especially if you’re from the southern US or grew up in a rural area. If you aren’t from the south or a rural area, it’ll probably be an extra-wild ride!
My medieval reenactment camp group is basically The Crick after we found a stump at our campsite.
You ever get the feelin’ that sump’n ain’t right at the crick?
Yarp but it cleared up all right
Love NADDPOD, and yeah once you get past the rocky start (they talk about dragon pussy within the first 10 minutes) it’s a creative and hilarious actual play with some very emotional moments. I cried at several points during campaign 1.
It got surprisingly heavy in places, and I didn’t realize I had grown so attached to some of those characters!
Campaign 2 was great—I really loved the guest star and secondary plot, and I’m now on C3. Have been binging the hell out of it for the past 6 months or so
