I’m getting close to the bottom of my backlog on a few podcasts, so I’m looking to get something new in there.
Personally, it’s been, in no particular order:
- If Books Could Kill
- Darknet Diaries
- Hard Fork
- 99% Invisible
- The War on Cars
- The Urbanist Agenda
- The Climate Denier’s Playbook
- Well There’s Your Problem
I’m mildly considering getting into Behind the Bastards and It Could Happen Here, but I’m a little bit skeptical on account of how damn much there is to be listened to in their feed.
No Such Thing As A Fish!
From the makers of BBC’s “QI,” a (nearly) endless collection of useless facts that will not change your life, but will make you more fun to talk to at parties. Not that you go to any parties.
I’ve heard about this one before, but I’m downloading an episode now.
The one thing I hate about QI is that I’ve already seen it all and there aren’t any more episodes.
Edit: That was great. It totally scratched the QI itch. Among many other tidbits, I now know how leech treatments were discovered, that there’s a specific frequency that is arousing for badgers and sets off car alarms, and that in one year, over 700 American students were arrested for owning pagers.
Edit: Holy shit. The author of Goodnight Moon literally died from an overly-enthusiastic “can-can kick”. She did it to prove she was feeling fine… (ironically) but she dislodged a blood clot that instantly killed her.
Well now I know you’re the type of person who starts a podcast newest to oldest instead of the other way around lol
Anna from No Such Thing as a Fish recommended an Australian podcast called Smart Enough to Know Better years ago and I’ve been thoroughly enjoying both since. And I would say if you get the opportunity to see No Such Thing as a Fish live go for it. They are excellent live.

Recently I’ve started listening to Off Menu
The only podcasts I listen to are the unexpectables ones. I don’t even really like DND but MontyGlu is an amazing voice actor and role player… Like you can tell she genuinely cares for her NPCs and can tell the differences in characters from the nuisance of her characters and the candor I’m which they speak. I haven’t had much luck finding that else where. And that’s ignoring the fantastic world she has built for her players.
WARK.

Curious if anyone who has search engine has paid for incognito mode?
I’m sure people have but my guess is they’re more likely to be bluesky people instead of lemmy people.
Search Engine had been my favorite podcast in the last year or so.

Castle Super Beast is what I put on for grinding in video games. Woolie Madden & Patrick Boivin from SBFP made their own podcast after dissolving the channel, and it’s now been going on for about as long as their old podcast. It’s about a bunch of nerd bullshit like video games, but with a slight veneer of a focus on industry news.
Always neat to see another fan of CSB/Woolie around. I haven’t seen your instance name before, at least that I can remember.
funny enough, the tbfp subreddit is what actually got me onto lemmy. There was a tiny sbfp community that popped up around the blackout protest, but it faded pretty quick.
I was on the Pathfinder.social instance for a little bit until that died off too, and then hopped over to a tiny art instance called crystals.rest, and now onto the warframe instance. This one’s surprisingly resilient for how niche it is!
English:
- Lateral
- Darknet Diaries
- Artifexian
- Exolore
- The White Vault (caught up on old episodes)
- World’s Greatest Con
German:
- Geschichten aus der Geschichte
- Geschichten aus dem Altbau
- Darwin gefällt das
- Mord auf Ex
- Bayern 3 True Crime
- Weird Crimes
All in no particular order.
I might add to the German column:
Wochendämmerung
Lage der Nation
Übermedien
Piratensender Powerplay

Been going through Behind the Bastards and I enjoy it a lot. I started from the beginning which was excellent for understanding some of the memes and ongoing jokes.
I skip the “It Could Happen Here” episodes personally because they are very long and tend to bring me down, but they’re also really good and they really highlight the vulnerabilities of contemporary systems of government.

Fall of Civilizations podcast.
Great insight it a number of civilisations that have collapsed throughout human history. Explains their rise, peak and of course collapse in great detail.
Love that podcast. If only there were more episodes.
They released one on Egypt pretty recently.
Yeah I know, already done. I actually use old episodes to fall asleep to
I was never a podcast person until I listened to Otherworld. It gives a platform to people to tell their paranormal stories without sensationalism or judgement. They cover a wide range of topics from hauntings to cryptids to aliens. Really cool stuff even if you’re a skeptic
I wanted to finish Wheel of Time, but couldn’t slog my way through all the books again, so I listened to the Dragon Re-Read. A ton of fun conversation and saved me so much time and reading.
