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)

    I listen to many, but here’s my favorites:

    • Chilluminati: Takes a comedy focused look at supernatural, paranormal, and just weird topics. After a few episodes, the hosts really build excellent rapport. When it is at its best, it reminds me of some weird AM radio program you’d catch while night driving across the country.
    • The Beef and Dairy Network: The leading podcast about beef animals and dairy herds. Start at episode 1.
    • The Climate Denier’s Playbook: “Rollie Williams (Climate Town) and Nicole Conlan (The Daily Show) are two comedians with Master’s Degrees in Climate Science & Policy and Urban Planning. But don’t get too excited, because they’re here to examine the pervasive myths and misinformation campaigns that are making it obnoxiously difficult to address the looming climate crisis you’ve probably heard about.”

    I use podcasts to escape so I more lean towards comedy podcasts. My top is

    Regulation Podcast (PREVIOUSLY F**kFace)

    • 4 guys and Andrew (who didn’t know what the shift key did) shooting the shit, coming up with zany and dumb ideas and having way too much burger confidence

    My Brother My Brother and Me

    • 3 brothers doing different bits, talking about fast food news, making jokes about pop culture and bad movies

    Clutch my Pearls

    • 3 girls started their own smut podcast where one of them who only reads true crime is introduced into the very very weird world of smut novels. With very funny readings from the books

    We’re Here to Help

    • A comedy advice podcast with Jake Johnson from New Girl where they get questions like “my kids got a trampoline and my neighbor likes to walk around naked outside” and “my coworker likes to take their socks off at work” and “I brought muffins every week to work since I started and now they call me the muffin man and excpect muffin deliveries”. Quite fun.

    Then more seriously

    Swindled

    • The stories of how the great (and often mainstream) scam artists get found out and topple from power

    Nerdland Podcast

    • (In Dutch) a podcast about new developments in science and technology. Sadly very often about AI or Musk now but they try to keep that to a minimum.

    My time has come! I have a podcast for everything. What do you like?

    I subscribe to over 250 podcasts. -_- I don’t listen to all of them every day, and many aren’t in production anymore.

    I love to listen and learn.

    Unexplainable - Explainers on scientific mysteries, each episode is less than 30 minutes

    What Went Wrong - Behind the scenes movie podcast. It’s a miracle any movie gets made.

    Song Exploder - Musicians take apart their songs, layer by layer and talk about how it was made

    Hysteria - Politics and News focusing on how the issues affect women

    Levar Burton Reads - Levar Burton reads short stories. Not in production anymore, but there are almost 200 episodes worth of stories to hear

    Hello From the Magic Tavern - A guy falls to another dimension but still gets WiFi so he started a podcast interviewing fantasy characters in that universe

    Welcome to Night Vale - A fictional story told through a bi-monthly community updates radio broadcast. All conspiracies in Night Vale are real.

    Hacked - Stories about hacking and internet crime.

    Ologies - Science show about ‘-ologies’ careers

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Lions Led By Donkeys! Weird and usually stupid military history, featuring everything from Roman warfare up to Vietnam.

    I’ll also toss in Well There’s Your Problem. It’s an engineering disasters podcast. With slides (if you’re watching on YouTube).

      Second how did this get made, listened to it on the way back from a trip this afternoon. I avoid the “Live!” ones as they are usually very poorly mixed and often the audience gets involved so you just sit and listen to badly mixed laughter for 4 minutes. Go see em live if you want that experience.

        I feel this way about most love recordings of podcasts (or anything for that matter, with the exception of standup comedy) - if I wanted live episodes I’d go see them live.

    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.

    Darknet diaries is one of my all time favorites.

    If you like music analysis then Strong Songs is also interesting

    And for a non serious listen I like to listen to Sherlock & Co, which is an amazing audioplay where Watson becomes a podcaster to deal with his PTSD. The adventures are self contained, so you can hop on any you like.
