Anything by the McElroy clan. My Brother, My Brother And Me is their original work, but I am currently working my way through the back catalog of The Adventure Zone, their actual-play D&D podcast with the brothers and their dad (start at the beginning, as Griffin is clearly telling a long-form story amidst the dick jokes, pop culture throwbacks, and dice rolls).

If you want a good intro to MBMBAM, check out the complete first episode of their Seeso tv version on Youtube - short version is that it is an advice show, but really it is three very funny guys having fun with one another.

I have listened to the Dan Carlin podcasts for years and they are great, just don't come out very frequently anymore.

Only stuff I can add that has not been mentioned is:

EconTalk - Pretty good discussions on relevant and interesting economics topics.

Eddie Trunk - Good discussion and interviews with 80s, 90s and some older classic musicians.

Pardon My Take is my favorite sports podcast these days. Both guys are hilarious. It's kind of a rib on sports media but they also have some hilarious interviews with some big guests. Does take a little while to understand some of the inside jokes and humor but it's great.

And I'm not a Barstool fan either. One of the hosts runs the infamous PFTCommenter twitter account.

PFTCommenter (@PFTCommenter) | Twitter

Their weekly breakdowns of the NFL as Berman are great.

Heavy heavy satire. I'm a fan. They get some normally pretty buttoned up guests to relax themselves and give a good interview.

I like pretty much all the Barstool podcasts. KFC Radio and Podfathers, especially.

Liar City - a Podcast where each episode they take a historical story about a major lie (broad definition, but often some major con man or something similar) and break it down to give you more detail, the after story after it left the media, etc. it's quite interesting imo.

If you try it out, the first Idano... year of it... they're getting their feet wet a bit and the rhythm, quality of delivery, etc is rough. So, may want to skip ahead.

The cover things from Jim Jones, to satanic panic, to Traci Lords, to the Delorean guy, etc, etc

Someone KNows SOmething is pretty good too. The second season was better than the first as the first season kind of went off-track a few times. The first season is about a 5 year old boy that went missing 40 years. Definitely still worth the listen.

The second season is about a woman who also went missing on New Years about 20 years ago. The host is a good story teller and you will hear a lot about dog descriptions... which are hilarious.

Hardcore History has been a revelation for me. Outside of that, nothing has really kept my interest over a period of months. I think Criminal generally had a good variety of different cases, but I stopped listening sometime last year after a string of not-so-interesting episodes.

Nerdist podcast can be awesome when they have specific guests, but Chris Hardwick really harps on about the same topics a lot of the time and all too often guides guests onto similar topics.

I've started both Cultivated and Trailblazers recently.

Cultivated is that rare bird where evangelicals take an intellectual approach to their role in culture and I find it fascinating compared to much of what I grew up with.

Trailblazers, hosted and narrated by Walter Isaacson, is another podcast about change makers in the world but kept under 45 minutes. It's only 2 episodes in, but both have been excellent at giving a big picture background to the topic of the episode before breaking down the detail of the latest disruptor that they're focusing on. The first is disruption in the film industry and the second is photography.

Been listening to "Biscuits" a lot lately.

It's a podcast of two guys who hate the NHL discussing what's going on in the NHL every week.

JJ Watt has been their white whale guest. He let them know he'd be interviewed if the fans could raise $50K for his charity. They blew through the goal in about 8 hours.

I'll throw out a recommendation for:

Important If True


It's generally focused on sort of pop culture / tech news, but is really quite free form in terms of topic. Like any good podcast (IMHO) you end up getting a lot of personal stories from the hosts, etc.

This is a "new" podcast in a technical sense, but the hosts literally just realized they were getting tired of being tied to a nominal video game podcast that constantly wandered off topic (Idle Thumbs) and launched a new show that just focused on the off-topic stuff. So they're bringing years of rapport to the table for this.

Important If True - Idle Thumbs Network

Also while it's basically going to be a sporadic podcast at this point, I would still recommend their original show (Idle Thumbs). It's a different take on video game podcasts than you're going to find elsewhere. They all work in game development, so they are often able to really go deep on game mechanics, writing, and basically the best and worst parts of games and really do a fantastic job discussing why they think those things succeed or fail.

Okay, I read that twice. Thought about it three times. And I'm still sitting here at "wait ... what?"

Do they hate, like, "the current state of the NHL" or something?
U.S. professional leagues specifically?
Pro hockey?
Anything more than the Original Six?

How does this work exactly?

I want to give the opportunity to another FOFC'er to describe the podcast more in depth, but it's two gentlemen who love hockey and watch the NHL. They discuss what's going on in the league and they just tend to (in a comedic way) point out how the league may not always be making the best of decisions.

Some great fiction podcasts going on right now.

Homecoming is fantastic. It's done by Gimlet that does the Crimetown podcast. People like David Schwimmer, Amy Sedaris, David Cross, and Catherine Keener doing the voice work. Season 1 was perfect and the first episode of season 2 just came out this week.

The Message and lif-e.af/ter by Panoply/GE Podcast Theater is just as good as Homecoming and has its two semi-related seasons done. Don't know if they're going to do a third piece and start tying it all together more closely, but I hope they do as it's been phenomenal so far.

Limetown was really good as well. Told through the lens of a reporter for an NPR equivalent gives it a perspective the others don't have.

Alice Isn't Dead has been okay so far. They've gotten more mileage out of the Thistle Men than I thought would work and season two has been better than the first one.

I haven't started Welcome to NightVale yet, but they're the creators of Alice Isn't Dead so they're on the list.

A third fiction podcast in the Night Vale lineup is The Orbiting Human Circus (Of the Air) with a cast that includes Tim Robbins and Mandy Patinkin. You can check out all of their stuff under the Night Vale Presents moniker.

Deadly Manners: An old timey dinner party murder mystery narrated by Levar Burton and starring people such as Kristen Bell, Anna Chlumsky, and RuPaul (seriously).

Ear Hustle: Real stories told by inmates at San Quentin. Easily the best new podcast this year.

Fictional: Usually 2 part summaries of class fiction writing. Basically a well read audio version of cliff notes.

Uncivil: Historical look at the Civil War, largely from an African American perspective, poking holes in many of the wildly inaccurate things taught in schools (especially in the south).

Download: A weekly discussion of the top news in the tech world.

This isn't for everyone but Last Podcast on the Left is kind of a weird comedy podcast that talks about really messed up stuff in history. Mainly focuses on serial killers but things like the Dyatlov Pass Incident and such are discussed. Like I said, it's not for everyone but pick an episode with a top that might interest and give it a listen.

A couple of guys at work put me onto the My Dad Wrote a Porno podcast. Just like it says on the tin, the premise is that a guy's 60 year old father decided to try and cash in on the 50 Shades of Grey hype train by trying his hand at erotic fiction, and the podcast involves the son and two friends reading the book line by line and commenting on it. I'm 6 chapters into the first book, which is hilariously badly written, but it's the commentary and critiquing by the son and friends that really makes this shine - it's an awful lot funnier than it probably sounds, especially if you get the British style of humour.

I've been listening to the Firewalls Don't Stop Dragons podcast by Carey Parker. He's basically a privacy/security advocate. He gives lots of advice on how to protect your privacy online and on your phone, with an emphasis on how to stop Google and Facebook from monitoring everything you do online and selling your information to whoever might want it. I've started implementing a lot of the things he suggests. It's worth a listen if you are concerned about protecting your privacy.

True Crime genre: Dirty John and its sister Dr. Death were both good for a listen. Crimetown has returned with season 2, but I will probably let it build up some episdoes before I go in. Serial is also back, and it has been getting better reviews than Season 2.

I have fallen into a trap, courtesy of John Green. He is the guy who wrote a book The Fault in our Stars that I cannot imagine I would ever read. But apparently he and his brother Hank have been doing video podcasts for some time, and have a real following.

I really, really like them both, but especially John. So, submitted for your consideration:

The Anthropocene, Reviewed - John spends 20m or so each episode delivering a "review" (Amazon style, 5-star scale) of seemingly random things from life around us. Topics have ranged from the soccer penalty shootout to "the yips" to the Taco Bell breakfast menu. Easy non-spoiler preview here: if you are in for 5 minutes of one episode and it's not for you... then it's not for you. You've lost 5 minutes of your time. Me? I listened to one, and then fairly rapidly went back and listened to all 12 or so episodes.

Dear Hank and John - this is the brothers' weekly offering. Basically, like Car Talk without the cars - people write in with various questions, either advice or information, and the brothers try to answer. It's clever and funny. And basically same as above, I suspect it's either for you or not for you, and you will likely know rapidly.

After watching the Aaron Hernandez documentary, I listened to the Gladiator podcast by the Boston Globe. I did not follow his whole situation closely when it happened. WHEW! There is a lot of there there.

Love that podcast!!

Parcast has several podcasts I listen to. Among them are:

Female Criminals - Female felons. One of the episodes is about Griselda Blanco, the cocaine godmother. I believe Cocaine Cowboys 2 is about her.

Great Women of Business - I encourage anyone with young daughters to listen to this podcast about female entrepreneurs and how they got started. #girlpower

Kingpins - leaders of organized crime like Al Capone and Pablo Escobar.

Cults - out of all the podcasts i listen to, this is one of my faves.

I mentioned it previously but, This is actually happening is one of my alltime favorites. Stories about real heart wrenching events that dramatically change people's lives. It's absolutely phenomenal. It's the one podcast that I make it a point to listen to when there's a new episode.

If you are interested in the business side of soccer, I recommend listening to The Price of Football. It is English football centric, but they do a great job discussing the economics of the sport on a more micro level,

This is technically a YouTube video, but is likely listens pretty much like a pod... and is all about FOF, in the event anyone around here still plays that.

Doing this was a real treat for me and big thanks to Quik for doing it. Just love listening to him talk about playing the game. Hope others do too.

I've been enjoying Event Horizon on YouTube, which is a science podcast where the host (John Michael Godier) talks with a guest (seems like usually a physicist of some sort) about stuff like the Fermi paradox, whether we are in a sim, is there alien life, etc.

I've been enjoying the All My Movies podcast by Dan Murrell. It's available on YouTube as well as Apple and other traditional sources for podcasts. In each episode, he does a deep dive into one of the movies in his collection of DVDs, VHS tapes, and Blu-rays. He talks about how each movie came to be, as well as highlighting things that worked well/didn't work well. It's really well done, and I recommend the YouTube version because he includes a lot of visual stuff that would be lost in the pure audio versions. He tends to do touchstone movies for our generation, like Jaws, T2, Groundhog's Day, Star Wars, The Dark Knight, etc. He clearly has a vast swath of knowledge about movies and pop culture in general. He also occasionally covers a clunker movie, like Jaws 4: The Revenge. They're all good.

Good recommendation. These are great. I also have enjoyed Revisionist History and Dan Carlin's Hardcore History.
