The Dollap - comedic American history podcast

Behind the Bastards - Robert Evans’ exposes some real rotten people with guests

Bill Burr - I just really like his weekly podcast even though I have no interest in sports

Knowledge Fight - this has been a hilarious/scary journey of 2 dudes reviewing Alex Jones Infowars since 2016

I’m a big fan of No Such Thing as a Fish.

It’s a bunch of researchers for a funny British panel show (QI) talking about their favorite fact they’ve discovered that week.

Well, there’s your problem. A podcast about engineering disasters, with slides.

I never see this mentioned but Darknet Diaries is actually a really informative and entertaining podcast about hacking, the dark web, physical penetration testing (gone wrong), nation-state cyber attacks.

Lions Led By Donkeys - fun, irreverent military history podcast that is still quite informative

Hardcore History - more like an audio book that comes out once or twice a year. The WWI series is like 20- something hours BY ITSELF

DarknetDiaries

It’s the podcast I’m listening to right now. If you’re interested in It you have to listen to it. The storytelling is just soo good. I really recommend the Episodes “Xbox Underground” and “Operation Bayonet”

Most episodes aren’t actually about the dark Web and are instead about Cybersecurity.

Dungeons and Daddies, Behind the Bastards, and the Always Sunny podcast. To a lesser extent, “that happens.”

I like video games, goofy stuff, and tech. So lately, it’s been:

• My Brother, My Brother, and Me
• Noclip
• Besties
• We Have Concerns
• Search Engine (New podcast from PJ Vogt of Reply All fame - if you haven’t listened to Reply All, there are a number of great episodes to enjoy)
• How Did This Get Made
• and occasionally Swindled (my girlfriend likes true crime stuff and this is about as close as I like to get to that)

I haven’t seen anybody else suggest it but “99% invisible” is one of my favorites.

Some I’ve been listening to lately:

• Hard Fork - podcast about technology and science from the NYTimes that does a pretty good job of being varied and interesting.
• Search Engine - newer podcast by PJ Vogt from Reply All about understanding weird or poorly understood topics.
• Darknet Diaries - IT security stories, hacking, and red vs blue team defense of infrastructure.
• Behind the Bastards - Stories about terrible people and their effect on society. Start with the Dulles Brothers or Kissinger.
• Mother Country Radicals - Limited series about key members of the Weather Underground during the civil rights era.

I’m a big fan of the following:

Maintenance Phase: discusses health/diet fads and scams

You’re Wrong About: debunking the popular (but misinformed) narratives surrounding many well-known events of the past

Underunderstood: going down the rabbit hole of strange “ungoogle-able” questions (this one really fills the void Reply All left behind)

Darknet Diaries: super riveting cybersecurity (or just general security) stories

Blowback. I’m only on the first season which is about the Iraq war, and it’s great so far. Great use of audio clips from Bush admin officials to prove their points.

Last Podcast on the Left. Cryptids, UFOs, serial killers, cults, history of bloody incidents, and other true crime, but it’s a comedy podcast.

99% Invisible. Produced in beautiful downtown Oakland California.

Darknetdiaries the name sounds pretty cringe but it is a really good podcast about digital crime.
