History podcast from the BBC : You’re dead to me
I enjoy 'This American life, depends on the topic but it can be very interesting.
If you’ve heard of QI from the BBC there is No such thing as a fish when they talk about a couple facts they’ve read. I find it pretty funny too.
Mike Duncan is doing a new seasons of Revolutions about the Mars revolution (fictional of course) but before he did a bunch of others including the Mexican and French revolutions which I particularly enjoyed.
Blowback does seasons about bad US foreign policy. For news about US foreign policy there is also American Prestige.
Also listen to 15 minutes history from the University of Austin Texas. They just did something about the King of Haïti for example. They do new topics each episode.
Also another history one if MartyrMade.
And Trillbilly Workers podcast because I like to have no clue what they’re talking about lol
Mike Duncan is fire! I really enjoyed all of it. But his “revolutions” podcast on early modern england was really interesting.
I particularly enjoyed an episode (later on in the French revolution) that talked about the Paris fish wives march on the Bastille.
You’re Dead to Me is a great one. I also really like The Rest is History in a similar niche.
- We Have Ways of Making You Talk
- Battleground
- The Rest is Classified
- The History of English
- Ehrman Podcast (Christianity from an atheist expert in the New Testament)
Some that I’ve been on and off listening to (because I struggle to consistently listen to anything in particular)
- UNBIASED politics
- ChooseFI
- do it yourself
There’s a bunch of other financial coaching type podcasts that I’ve listened to, but I haven’t been much in the financial coaching game in a while
I answered this a month ago https://lemmy.ml/comment/16536763
Behind the Bastards has already been shouted out a lot. And I’m sure lots of folks on lemmy are big fans of Robert Evans as it is, but I haven’t seen It Could Happen Here or friend of both those pods Knowledge Fight mentioned. Both well worth listening to
I’m a fan of ICHH, but my god, for an anticapitalist podcast they really need to lay off the ads just a little bit
I’ve been a Cooler Zone Media subscriber since they launched that and it’s so much better without ads. I consumed a bunch of their content so $5 is well worth it for me
I would too but afaik its only available on apple podcasts :(
This has nothing to do with what I said
Criticizing anti-capitalism media for existing in a capitalistic system is literally the last panel. I’m sure we agree on most things if you listened to ICHH as well, so I’m not trying to argue or start a fight.
But Evans has to eat, pay rent and deserves to make profit off his time like the rest of us. Personally, I feel as if you’re falling into the “AoC/Bernie/Hasan has money and are hypocritical socialists” style trap, which is at best lazy and worst willfully ignorant of the context in which we all live.
The podcast wouldn’t exist without ads, so ads are a weird thing to complain about. It’s the message that is important and ads don’t diminish that anti capitalistic message.
Not just Evans, but Mia, Gar (sp?), James, and their other contributors.
Yeah except I never said their arguments aren’t valid like the comic is suggesting. Nor did I say they shouldn’t run ads at all. All I said was the amount of ads is tiresome.
For this comic to be relevant I’d have to have said something along the line of “Im not going to listen to what they say because they run ads”
I’m happy for Robert and co.’s success, I just wish they had a model that didn’t rely so heavily on advertising, like some other leftist content creators I listen to.
You can always listen to the weekly omnibus episode that only has ad breaks between each full segment. Or get good with your skip forward button.
for an anticapitalist podcast they really need to lay off the ads just a little bit
May I know what do you mean?
The podcast is critical of corpratism and consumerism, but they run like 5 minutes of ads every 10 minutes. Its excessive
It’s not like they are unskippable ads, so i don’t think it’s as bad as YouTube or Hulu or whatever.
It’s an I Heart Radio podcast right? I♡R suuuuuvks.
I love Cool Zone Media’s output, but their parent company is exhausting.
This is my list from 2017: https://jeena.net/podcasts-listening
Interestingly I still listen to mos of them with the exception of the technology ones. Somehow technology podcasts started boring me a couple of years ago so I stopped listening to them, with one notable exception, the HomeAssistant podcast.
Something a bit different, but Super Marcato Bros. They play through game soundtracks and give some musician commentary. I’d say their music curation for the episodes is pretty good.
- Swindled - Mostly white-collar true crime with dark humor and disdain aplenty.
- 404 Media - The folks who used to do the Cyber podcast before they left VICE and are doing far better work, indy.
- Better Offline - Another tech podcast by Ed Zitron. He loves tech and can’t stand how fucked up the tech-bros are making the whole thing, at our collective expense.
I’ll have to check out Swindled. +1 for 404 Media and Better Offline.
I don’t have as much time to listen to podcasts at the moment. The only one I’ve continued listening to is “Well There’s Your Problem”, it is sooo good. Just my kind of humor!
It’s an engineering disaster podcast with slides, so it’s on YouTube. It’s a good one to listen to while doing chores where you can occasionally glance at your screen to see what they are talking about.
I second this, it’s a great podcast for chores
Skeptoid.
Everything from the Ranged Touch Network. Basically culture and media studies with good banter. They have:
Just king things (Reading every King Book in publication order)
Game Studies Study Buddies
Shelved By Genre (Units discussing different genre books).
“Even more news” general news and politics
“Trash taste” anime and japanese centric by 3 people who moved to Japan and are YouTubers
Not rly a podcast but looong (3+hr episodes) video series caller “fall of civilisations” about fall of civilisations in ancient times , history of the civ , what lead to the fall , the fall itself and the aftermath
I love Throughline from NPR. Some of their episodes are very “cinematic” and great to listen too in bed with the lights off, though some might find some of the topics depressing, but you can mostly avoid thoose based on the titles (but those are sometimes the best episodes!!!)
