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!
Thank you for asking this question! I recently realized I would like to listen to something new, so now I have some ideas :)
From my side, I may recommend Clearer Thinking Podcast with Spencer Greenberg - he is a psychology researcher but he covers other interesting topics too. Check it out!
