It’s not exactly a podcast, it’s more like a show but in audio format, it’s called The Magnus Archives, it’s a Lovecraftian horror anthology. Essentially each episode is a tale from someone who encountered a supernatural thing, be it a monster, a strange person or even a book, their statements were written and are now being put into tapes by the new head archivist. Overtime you learn more about the nature of the supernatural things and the universe. I finished it recently and have been recommending it for everyone who likes Lovecraftian horror.
Welcome to Nightvale - I figured it was time to start listening to it. The Fully Charged Podcast - Great guests. Wheel-E - To keep up with micromobility news. The Climate Denier’s Playbook - It’s made by the guy that does Climate Town
Accidental Tech Podcast. atp.fm
Love the banter and have always been a fan of John Siracusa ever since his ARS Mac OS X reviews.
Never Seen It hosted by Kyle Ayers. Comedians rewrite scripts they’ve never seen and they do a brief table read, and then they play movie-based games that Kyle has made up. It’s a lot of fun, and Kyle is an underrated comedian. Also, he’s built up a small but great community of supporters.
- The Flop House - Three comedians watch a bad movie and then talk about it in funny ways. Additionally they answer letters from their listeners and have a lot of running jokes which I enjoy.
- Obiter Dictum - Two Swedish guys talk (in Swedish) about Swedish and US pop culture including movies, music and books. I enjoy it because it makes me feel kind of at home listening to friends talking about normal things.
- Modern Day Philosophers - a Jewish comedian invites other mostly Jewish comedians to first just talk about their life, etc. and then in each episode to pick a classic philosopher and one of their quote to talk about it with the guest.
- Israel Story - Every day stories from Israel, I was there a couple of years ago and became fascinated with their culture and history, this in a way is for me like going back there without traveling.

And then I’d like to do some self promotion: Jeenas Excellent Encounters is my own podcast, where I meet people who I think are interesting in my life and then we talk about their hobby or work or some special interest they have. Some exceptional episodes:
- Jehovah’s Witnesses - Althéa - I talked to a woman who grew up in a Jehovah’s Witnesses family, married young and got a child and only then realized that she needs to get out and she describes her way out and her fight to get her daughter back.
- In Israel/Palestine 2/3 - Hebron - I traveled to Hebron in Palestine and stayed at a AirBnB. The host took me with her to visit a family who’s house has been destroyed 3 times already by the Israeli military.
- Living as a foreigner in Russia - Alberto - I interviewed an Italian who met a Russian woman when studying in in Finland and decided to move to Russia for their children’s sake

Darknet Diaries - stories from the dark side of the internet. The host interviews hackers, security experts and convicted felons, as well as his own researched stories.
Stuff you should know - hosts chat tell you everything you want to know about different random topics.
Behind the bastards - a different take on different bastards throughout history.
You’re wrong about - the hosts chat about people and events that you may have had some misconceptions about.
I’ve been listening to Theo Vonn lately. Just three episodes so far. But he’s really funny, and manages to keep the spotlight on his guest despite being continually engaged.
Castle Super Beast - Woolie Madden and Patrick Boivin talk about a bunch of bullshit. Videogames, TV and Anime, industry news for both, and really bad letters from listeners that sometimes have funny openers. The fucked up episode names are a treat.
Forhead Fables. Bunch of silly goose gamers have a silly goose time. They also play Dungeons and Dragons and it’s very entertaining.
The Casual Criminalist. They do a wonderful job of respecting the victims and their families all while making the stories have a fun and interesting twist. Plus, Simon tends to go off on tangents which are also fun.
Soft Skills Engineering: I listen for advice on the non-technical side of software development.
The Greatest Generation: a couple guys who review ST:TNG, DS9 and now Voyager episodes.
Greatest Trek: the above but for new Trek
Cortex, F**KFACE, Tales from the Stinky Dragon
Why I Hate This Album is one of my favorites, they go between listening to an album for a week and then discuss the history of the band, the album, and sometimes they find secret meaning in it. Other episodes they have entire episodes dedicated to a single song and music news. There’s a lot of humor and inside jokes in it and they don’t take themselves too seriously. The best part is that it is ad free and they make it for the fun of it.
