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!
