The only one I listen to anymore is the WAN show. I just never have time to listen to them anymore so it usually takes 3-4 days to finish it.

Better Offline: explains a lot of things that are wrong with today’s tech. Mostly Ed ranting about enshittification/AI in everything

General interest

Game history

• Video Game History Hour (Video Game History Foundation)

My brother, my brother, and me- a fake advice show. Pardon My Take- national sports podcast. The Ringer F1 Show- ins and outs of Formula 1 Motorsport.

If you’re at all techy or in to self-hosting or home automation, the Self-Hosted podcast is excellent listening.

Shout out to Linux Unplugged, from the same network, Juipeter Broadcasting

Plenty of audience participation, current and active.

They also have meetups, community stuff and are very fediverse involved!

If you like NBA basketball, No Dunks!

I haven’t listened to this recently, but I know that Forehead Fables Podcast had an interview with John McAfee shortly before they died: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dajjuH4LFjY&list=PL0AyYv4PjzJ6vGxDjrfzSbWTj3Vgjd4mh&index=119

The podcast is run by the same person that controls https://www.youtube.com/@GeneralSam

Here are some I really enjoy, which I also use to fall asleep to.

• Fall of civilizations - great history show
• Sweet Bobby - Weird and fascinating story
• The Spy Who - Awesome storytelling about different spystories from around the world
• It could happen here - Podcast that tells how a second american civil war could happen
• Decoding the gurus - decoding weirdos like musk, jordan peterson and other scammers

The Magnus Archives is still the best podcast of all time, if you’re into audio dramas.

I also love The Deep 3, Thinking Basketball, and the No Dunks podcast for the NBA.

LeVar Burton Reads

It’s exactly what you see on the label. Curated collection of short stories read by Mr. Buron. There are very few “to be continued” episodes, so you can pretty much jump in wherever and have a listen.

DOS GAME CLUB

The three I listen to on a regular basis:

• Adrift - stories of introverts and social awkwardness
• The Cryptid Factor - sometimes about cryptids
• Three Bean Salad - a random topic which they eventually might touch on and know nothing about
