Any Interesting (Not Disturbing) Podcasts? (programming.dev)

I used to listen to long form essays on Youtube. My favourite ones either break down the history of a conspiracy, teach me something new and cool about the world, or explore a hobby I've never been interested in.

I don't like the ones about killers or heavy drama. I also don't like podcasts that spend half the time reading the latest news from [topic] in verbatim .

What are some podcasts you can recommend me while I chip away at other things?

99 percent invisible is a good one. It’s about the stories behind things we take for granted in the world. It can be anything between ambulances, country borders and the lyrics of who let the dogs out.

Roman Mars has literally the perfect voice for a podcast

I didn’t think Roman hosted it anymore. Is he still making it?

Edit: just had a look. I guess he is. I seem to remember a spell where he wasn’t hosting. Am I remembering correctly?

AFAIK it's always been him.

Though the Articles of Interest spin off from (former) producer Avery Truffleman is also very good.

They changed owners or something a few years ago, which means Roman Mars got more time to work with actual podcast stuff instead of being a manager.

I might have to go back and give it a fresh listen. I dropped off years ago when he was deep into running radiotopia.

Whomst among us has let the dogs out is one of my favorite episodes of theirs. Great stuff.
