I don’t listen to every episode of every show, but some shows I never miss. A lot of this came from being single during the pan and having a ton of alone time to fill while walking my area. Things fell off when we got back to normal and again when I got together with my partner. Luckily, my latest job has a lot of downtime so I’m able to listen to more again.
I like On Taking Pictures a lot. Nice podcast that really sparked my interest in photography about 10 years ago.
I try to stay away from political podcasts these days because I’m just too burnt out.
Sawbones
The Marital Tour of Misguided Medicine? Nice.
I’ve never listened, but I’m in the McElroy orbit already so maybe I ought to give it a shot.
That’s the one! I say give it a try. Their episode on rabies and syphilis were pretty good imo
UNCANNY on BBC4
Here are two I recommend:
The Rest is History - two historians, Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook go deep on interesting topics from history.
Never Post - a podcast described as “about and for the internet” and in some sense the spiritual successor to Hello Internet but also reminding me of classic Radiolab. Worth checking out.
The NoSleep Podcast The Nightowl Podcast Weird Darkness Kinda Funny Games Daily Kinda Funny Gamescast Dungeons and Daddys Remember the game? The Last Podcast on the Left Smosh Reads Reddit Stories This Paranormal Life
That’s my current rotation right now.
Only one I listen to sometimes is https://www.bsdnow.tv/ since I’m an OpenBSD user and it’s interesting to hear about other BSDs from time to time.

Safety first and Zaza (lithuanian and has no topics ,but uploads once in like a year)
-
SciShow tangents (a lightly competitive science show)
-
Ologies (interviewing experts from different fields/ologies)
-
Fake Doctors, Real Friends (Scrubs actors rewatching scrubs, my favorite show when i was younger. Plus great behind the scenes of film making)
-
The Imp & Skizz show (just two gamers i love to watch, talking about creative stuff. Probably not as enjoyable for anyone who doesn’t watch them already though. Still love them and would love to see then succeed more!)
-
Behind the Bastards, Linux Lads, Linux Late Night, The Infinite Monkey Cage (when they do episodes), some spanish stuff for listening practice (mostly Hoy Hablamos), Hack-a-Day, Self-Hosted, and Cory Doctorow…
Have you found Spanish Obsessed? It’s a Colombian/English couple who just have conversations in Spanish about random topics at an intermediate level.
They have several podcasts, so make sure to find the intermediate level for the conversations. Their beginner level has much more spoken English and basic Spanish vocab, which I’m not as into.
No, but I’ll check them out. Thanks for the suggestion.
Another big fan of Darknet Diaries.
Ever since Michael Bazzle of Privacy, Security & OSINT stopped doing the podcasts, I’m still trying to find a replacement. Am listening to The Lockdown - Practical Privacy and Security in the mean time.
Also listen to Linux Game Cast.
The Co-Main Event Stuff You Should Know Space Nuts Joy
Fly on the Wall, Smartless, and WTF, but only when they have interesting guests.
Believe You Me and Morning Kombat, but only when I’m in the right head space.
Any recommendations for sub 10min podcasts? I have a short commute and put it on 1.3 speed to get a dialy radio show.
I already have DW News, Tech News Briefing, Marketplace Tech, and a few like Male Your Damn Bed/Arnold’s Punp Club.
Can always do with more.
I like to listen to NPR’s “Up First”, they would more or less be in that time range.
