Casefile. Never listened to it myself but in these here parts any other answer is wrong.

Why did you bother replying then? Weird.

Anyway. Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History is brilliant. Long and impeccably researched shows about major events and figures in world history.

if true crime is your thing casefile is your man. I am a fan of crimetown, season 1 is mafia in providence and new season just started and is focusing on detroit.

few others i enjoyed serial is good new season is interesting so far, in the dark was another true crime one.

Homecoming was an interesting story with good actors.

Slideways

“They walk amongst us” is a UK version of casefile and tbh I prefer it

Nothing is wrong with him. It is just an After Hours trope to be the first one to suggest any given thread is a "thinly veiled" something thread. An on going joke like the "Atari Jaguar" showing up in nearly ever poll. Don't take it personally. It is just the done thing around here.

The ones I listen to every episode:

• Brainfood (from Today I found out).
• No Dumb Questions (from SmarterEveryDay).
• Waking up (from Sam Harris).

The ones I listen to very select episodes (say average 1 in 10):

• The Joe Rogan Podcast. (Only listen to the ones where I like or know the guest invited).
• The Jocko Podcast. (Only listen to the ones where I like or know the topic covered).
• Star Talk Radio - Astrophysicist podcast which usually has guest comedians like Infinite Monkey Cage does.
• The Blindboy Podcast. (Only listen to the ones where I like or know the topic covered).
• Born Optimistic. (Irish music podcast, generally listen if I know the singer covered).
• Pangburn Philosophy. (Dont listen to his own stuff, just when he covers live events).

Podcasts I keep meaning to check out but never have:

• bertcast (vaguely funny comedian guy famous for being drunk a lot).
• sexplanations (sexual topics covered by a clinical sex therapists).
• Infinite Monkey Cage (Thanks Goodshape - forgot this is on my list to start listening to).
• Freethought Radio.

Crime in sports

two comedians go though the life from more or less birth of a selected sportsperson to where they **** it all up with crime. diffent sports every week, from boxing to NFL to Pro Wrestling to Ski jumping.

really really funny.

It's a trick I picked up in Superstar Hero Ninja Space School for Sexy Legends.

If you're into movies then I'd recommend Filmspotting as a good source of the latest movie reviews. They also do classic reviews and special shows dedicated to various film topics. I've tried a lot of film podcasts but this, imo, is the best.

The Vergecast is good if you like tech.

Mens Rea is an Irish crime podcast. It's usually very good.

Irish History Podcast is great.

The Stand with Eamon Dunphy is surprisingly good. He's a better interviewer than you might think.

BelovedAunt

If you’re into games then I highly recommend Cane and Rinse. They pick an old game each week and discuss it for an hour.

Also Stown is very good.

For gaming rebel fm, video game outsiders, the geekbox, DLC, giant bomb cast ,giant beastcast , gamehounds are good podcasts .
VGO is also very humourous and entertaining even if you just a casual gamer
See giantbomb.com/podcasts
See player fm.com look on popular podcasts
For tech this week in tech,the vergecast are good. theverge.com
TWIT is on youtube too.
Comedy podcasts ,call chelsea peretti, make it weird on nerdist.com
desert island discs on bbc4 uk radio ,depending on who the guest is .
the archives go back 100 plus episodes .
Culture slate culture podcasts ,talk about the latest tv books movies .

In my opinion Dunphy is Ireland's best Current Affairs presenter.

Completely different to his football troll persona.

Sounds like you might be interested in Reply All. It's about the internet.

Duffy the Vampire Slayer

I listen to a lot of old In Our Time episodes from BBC.

I really, really hate Joe Rogan.

Sabre0001

Podcasts forum has chatter and recommendations (and fewer smart ass responses).

uncommon_name

I know you didn't mention crime or war in your list above. But there are some fantastic ones out there in that topic. All of the below are ones I have listened to fully and would highly recommend.

Dirty John
Accused
Atlanta monster
Death in ice valley
Serial
The teachers pet
Up & vanished
In the dark
All the above are very good crime podcasts

Caliphate - very interesting war podcast
Aftermath - about the aftermath of victims of shootings
S-town - Unusual but very gripping story line

Cult podcasts
Heavens gate
Dear Franklin Jones

Once Serial was a success, every man and his dog started doing true crime podcasts so there’s certainly plenty to choose from if you’re into that kind of thing.

Agreed. There are too many of them out there and most of them are just average. That's why I summarized the best ones in my opinion.

jack presley

There is a podcast forum on Boards that has plenty of ideas too.

My personal favourite that I couldn’t recommend enough is Cartalk. Two Bostonians taking calls about people’s car problems. And I have no interest in cars but the two lads are hilarious, basically taking the piss out of themselves and making fun of the calls. Well worth a listen, even if you are like me and don’t care at all about cars.

Optimalprimerib

Lore is good for creepy stories
Skip to the end is good for movies
Dear John is a good true crime podcast
The beef and dairy network is pure nuts, but is very funny and is well delivered
The soundtrack show is good for movie soundtracks if you are interested in the film he is covering
Final games is very interesting. It's basically desert island discs, but for games. He has a different guest from the games industry each week, where they talk about 8 games they would bring to a desert island.

your having a laugh surely ?

dunphy is a spoof merchant of the highest order ,was calling this place a kip in early 2013 just as the economy was beginning to take off again but of course dunphy forever the populist sang a different tune , he is a solid establishment hack posing as a rebel , he talks the talk but thats all

a guy who whatever the subject , can be relied upon to have it wrong all of the time . if he were a politician , he would be in the mould of ming flanagan , a career bullsh1tter .

Joe Rogan is about as entertaining as untangling a box of cables. His American ‘bro’ persona is intolerable. UFC, weed, cryptocurrency, shoving his overpriced supplements on people. Just a dickhead.

Electric Nitwit

Couple of newer ones that people might like

Films to Be Buried With
- bit ramshackle and long, but a comedian comes on and talks about films that have shaped them. Genuine enthusiasm, when it's a good guest I really enjoy it

That Peter Crouch podcast
- Crouchy talking about his career. Open, honest, insightful and really funny

Christopher Cross

The Guardian football podcast is great, my favourite pod, twice weekly
