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?

Blowback. Very, very good podcast on western imperialism.

[–] LemmyHead@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's not free though...

[–] c10l@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It’s definitely free to listen, if that’s what you mean. I listen to it on Apple Podcasts without paying a penny.

[–] LemmyHead@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Alright. On the website it said it was a paid one

[–] c10l@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

You can pay for early access and I think some bonus content but otherwise it’s free.

A lot of people have been recommending Blowback. I'm listening to it now!
