I'm getting close to the bottom of my backlog on a few podcasts, so I'm looking to get something new in there.

Personally, it's been, in no particular order:

  • If Books Could Kill
  • Darknet Diaries
  • Hard Fork
  • 99% Invisible
  • The War on Cars
  • The Urbanist Agenda
  • The Climate Denier's Playbook
  • Well There's Your Problem

I'm mildly considering getting into Behind the Bastards and It Could Happen Here, but I'm a little bit skeptical on account of how damn much there is to be listened to in their feed.

It Could Happen Here is often talking about what's going on that week in the world. I wouldn't try to listen to their whole backlog, but I usually catch an episode or two a week.

Behind the Bastards is great. Since I found it (Summer 2020, I'd reckon), I've listened to most of what has come out since.

Cool People who did Cool Stuff is a sort of spin off of btb. Deep dives on people and movements who were resisting the bastards. It's only been going on a couple of years, so the backlog is more manageable if that's your thing.

I listen to Past Times on the Dollop feed most weeks. The Dollop is another deep dive history podcast. On Past Times, they read headlines and articles from different newspaper every week. Usually from the late 19th through early 20th century, but they've gone as far back as the 1600s.

Anything by Jamie Loftus is great. She's mostly done short run things on a single topic. She's on the Bechdel cast, too which I listen to occasionally.

You might enjoy The Deprogram, which has a less daunting backlog.

It could happen here is very hit or miss, unfortunately. For me personally, about 70% is garbage, the rest is pretty good.

Their resident middle east anchor woman (Shirin?) and Andrew are just completely unlistenable to me, simply because of their voices. And there's a lot of USA internal politics, which just isn't all that interesting to me.

English:

  • Lateral

  • World's Greatest Con

  • Weird Crimes

All in no particular order.

Fall of Civilizations podcast.

Great insight it a number of civilisations that have collapsed throughout human history. Explains their rise, peak and of course collapse in great detail.

Love that podcast. If only there were more episodes.

[–] ag_roberston_author@beehaw.org 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They released one on Egypt pretty recently.

Yeah I know, already done. I actually use old episodes to fall asleep to
