Podcast recs

I think the Stuffed You Missed in History is the podcast that many of us listen to.

I also listen to radio lab, this american life, skeptics guide to the universe, and sawbones.

I used to also listen to democracy now, rh reality check, and dan savage. I just don't have the same kind of driving time that I used to.

[viciouskittie]

I like Nerdist, it's a great pop culture podcast. Nerdist is also a network of podcasts and pretty much anything they do is good.
If you like current event podcasts, I like Fresh Air by NPR, TED Radio Hour by NPR, The Current by CBC, and TED Talks Audio.
If you like radio dramas, We're Alive is really, really good. The Leviathan Chronicles is okay, too.

[ChillyMcFreeze]

I never listen to all my podcasts, but I do love Wait Wait Don't Tell Me and On the Media. The Splendid Table is a good food one. Talk of the Nation is off the air now, but I have several saved up. I think The Onion also has a podcast...

Welcome to Nightvale. Not CEP-related, but it surpassed This American Life as the most popular podcast in the country in July. Their description is "as if Lake Wobegon was reinterpreted by Stephen King."

I don't listen to any podcasts and now I feel like I've been missing out on so much! Time to figure out this whole podcast thing!

[maybebabiesrus]

I eventually listen to every episode of the following (sometimes binge listening on a plane):
This American Life, Savage Love Cast, and Serial

I pick and choose episodes of the following:
Pop Culture Happy Hour, NPR food, Splendid Table, America's Test Kitchen, Audiolab, Ask Me Another, Slate Serial Spoilers, Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, and Rotten Tomatoes (this one really just for the OITNB spoiler and analysis episode)

[picksthemusic]

I highly recommend Sawbones, as others have mentioned. It's super funny and informative at the same time.

[punisher]

I'm totally and shamelessly self-promoting our family's podcast, UnpauseIt.

Our family of four reviews nerdy entertainment; right now we're reviewing all of the Avengers movies, in order of release, leading up to Infinity War.
We'll also do video games, comic-con events, etc. 

It's surreal to hear my kids' voices on a podcast on iTunes.

[hopecounts]

Just started
American History Tellers and it is good, first series is on the Cold War.

Also Slow Burn is fascinating

[annieblah]

Slow Burn is fascinating.
Uncivil is amazing.

[punisher]

Embedded by NPR is so well done. They have a series on Trump which gives tones of insights on him, Bannon, Kushner.

[pugz]

for a fluffier listen I like For the Love with Jen Hatmaker. Although the one with the guy talking about the enneagram this week was a total snooze. Enneagram stuff does NOT interest me.

[StrawberryBlondie]

I'm loving More Perfect lately.

I also loved Adapted... I'm not sure if they're making new episodes now or not. They haven't had a new one in a while. It's basically interviews with Korean American adopters who now, as adults, live in Korea

[nancybotwin]

I am currently obsessed with Constitutional. I think the people on this board will love it.

[One Girl In All The World]

On a totally not serious/political note,I became obsessed with paranormal podcasts over the summer. My favorites are real ghost stories online, astonishing legends and more recently two girls one ghost.

[One Girl In All The World]

Also, this post started in 2013? Have we really been here that long?

[sarahsays]

I'm really into the Breakdown podcast right now.

[pugz]

Omg i wondered why someone was all “try serial” 😂

sushi   which of the podcast recommendations did you end up loving after you started this thread in 2013?

I've gone through so many iterations. Crooked media has come on the scene, so I have a few of those thigh don't listen religiously. I still listen to sawbones, tal radiolab, and various stuff you... (history and know) every ep.

Ive added death sex money and really enjoy. That goes with the above of lonely permanent on the list.

I'm experimenting with court appointed.

For serials I really enjoyed first season of offshore (note: I lived a few blocks away when it happened). Enjoyed s town. I don't know how to categorize more perfect since I thought it was only a few eps but now see there was a 2nd season I haven't listened to.

Reply all is on my reader after a rec, but I haven't listened yet. Same with embedded. I listen even fewer hours than I did back in 2013.

I’m a loooong time lover of Stuff You Missed in History Class! Like, the Katie and Sarah days...

Aside from things already mentioned: Criminal and Ear Hustle.

Criminal is real life crime but not solely murder or heinous stuff. She just did one on a crime author critic; she did another on book theives that cops won’t track down, etc. It’s all kinds of crime.

Ear Hustle is about life in San Quentin prison. It’s hosted by a woman who volunteers there and an inmate. They talk about all sorts of thinga. You get to know the prisoners and their stories. It’s very well done.

EDIT - oh, lol, sorry zombie thread.

H raves about this

[punisher]

Oooooh, Homecoming by Gimlet makes you fucking hate David Schwimmer.

[sushi]

I just don't like when they use the acronym dsm because I've sent more time in psych world. Lol

I really like how varied the podcast is. This week's was just people venting about harassment at work.

Anna is as relatable as Lisa ling. When the two were together? Amazing.
