"I had no idea pod casts we so popular"
I'm sorry... what? The small child across the street from you has been running like four podcasts for the last two years, and your dog is getting ready to start his third one next week. Statically, you are running at least two of your own, apparently without even knowing. I'm recording my ninth episode this week, as I type this. This episode brought to you by Squarespace and Manscaped...
I live under a rock compared to most people.
Don't listen to that guy. You're in for a treat, my friend.
Pendejo Time.
Jake and Thomas are two guys with fucked up pasts, just shooting the shit and improvising.
The only podcast that scratches the cumtown itch.
My favourite bit:
I grew up playing D&D and really enjoyed learning about the history of the game from When We Were Wizards.
Aaaand thats going on my To Listen list.
Kind of hungering for new podcasts right now, and this sounds like one I didn't know I needed.
Thanks!
Bad Hasbara is a hilarious listen and extremely cathartic
Science VS: They investigate the science behind trends. E.g. ozempic, protein powder, the male g-spot, weed strains etc. With citations for everything
Gastropod: The science and history of various foods
Radiolab: Documentaries on a wide range of subjects. Usually from an angle you wouldnβt expect
Wong Notes: Vulfpeck guitarist Cory Wong interviews other artists from a musicianβs pov, which leads to much more interesting conversations than your usual interview
Among The Stars and Bones is a great fiction podcast.
Selected Shorts is best for short stories read live.
This American Life is the OG podcast with such great stories.
Aria Code, it breaks down great opera arias and the plots behind them.
Cocaine and Rhinestones, a crazy look at the history of the country and western greats.
Expanded by To Be Magnetic, it's an actually helpful self help podcast. Truly. A touch woo but don't be put off by it.
Every drag queen podcast is worth listening to because you will learn things about sex you never considered possible. Vanessa Vanjie Mateo and her Listerine and Tictacs will blow your mind. (I am not recommending these ideas but it's hilarious).
Security Now is great for getting Tech/Security industry information explained in a way that's fairly understandable even if you're not immersed in it.
Decoder Ring.
Please Stop Talking.
The main podcast is usually just a bunch of hosts getting together to share life stories, discuss some random topics and laugh and joke around (sometimes jokes can be dark and/or very stupid, but I find them funny as hell).
Besides that, they do Poundering Spooky Tapes (by the way all their podcasts are based on PST acronym). They watch a (usually) horror movie and discuss it. There are also commentary tracks available if you want to watch the thing with their live commentary on it.
Perilous StoryTelling is a DnD podcast that they do, very entertaining to listen to. They have two campaigns available, Folk and Dagger did not have a proper ending to it due to a key member leaving not in the best way, while Subliminal Space is new and is still coming out.
And finally they record Press Start Turbo, a fully gaming related podcast where they cover news, do interviews with people from the industry and cover a game that they all play for the episode and share thier thoughts about it.
'Sawbones: a marital tour of misguided medicine' is a show about the history of medicine in the 'smart person explains thing to funny person' genre. Medical doctor Syndey Mclroy goes over the history of a disease or treatment at her Podcaster husband Justin.
If you feel like getting even more depressed about the state of the world;
Popular Front is a grassroots war/conflict reporting podcast by british journalist Jake Hanrahan, about different ongoing and developing conflicts around the world.
Kinda depressing, but often times far, far ahead of the large media house news cycles. Also offers a little bit of hope, with reports of why and how people on the ground are going against oppression of various kinds.
P.S. anyone know how one could bold comment/post text in the Jerboa app?
like this?
Yes, exactly like that - thanks! I also realize now that apparently I'm blind for not seeing all the text formatting options right there under my nose.
Breaking Points has amazing coverage on American politics which matches up with reality unlike those CNN casters which keep getting "surprised" their coverage turned out to be wrong.
Hey Riddle Riddle - best humor and host interaction of any podcast I've listened to.
Ken and Robin talk about stuff. Two TTRPG game designer/writers discuss gaming, history, conspiracy theories, occultism, and horror.
Time Suck with Dan Cummins
Join the Cult of the Curious and learn about a variety of topics including : cults, historic figures, serial killers and more. Some recent sucks have covered Alexander Hamilton, The Kidwelly Sex Cult, The Taiping Rebellion, The Gainesville Ripper, Elvis Presley, and The Dark Truth about Pornhub.
Hail Nimrod, good boy Bojangles!
Third eye drops
Excellent podcast about philosophy, psychedelics and psychedelic assisted therapies, maps etc. Tons and tons of Dr's of science guests and the host is just amazing
