I’m looking to refresh my podcast subscriptions with thoughtful, insightful, non politics stuff (enough of that already in my subscriptions). I’d love some recommendations for:
- Techie stuff for a luddite like me
- Long form explorations of a single topic
- Video gaming (loved the video game historian but he stopped)
- TTRPGs and game design
- Reading and Writing
- Absolutely no interest in art, finance, crypto, cars, sports, aliens, murder/horror/crime, or influencer style conversation casts (Rogan or Piker)
My current subscriptions are to:
- Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History
- Disasters Deconstructed (though I’m not liking the academic tone anymore since I left this career, so stopped listening as much)
- Ralph Nader Radio Hour
- CBC podcasts, a wide variety on politics
- Autocracy in America
- NPR Shortwave and Planet Money
- John Stewart
- Trevor Noah
Edit: Wow! So many great suggestions. Thanks!
Over several years scholars and I put together Academic podcasts and University lectures on Judaism, Christianity and ANE Religion
You might find something interesting in there.
That’s nice and all, but don’t you have anything longer? 🤣
