Decoder Ring Theatre, phenomenal audio drama podcast that got better as time went on
Shagged Married Annoyed
I like brittish comedy, but I'm not brittish myself :)
I really admire these two β Radiolab and 70 over 70
Kerning Cultures should be on the list of everyone who likes 99PI and This American Life. It's like those two shows had a baby and it grew up in the Arab world.
We're Alive is a great story! Top notch production quality also.
If you enjoy HHGTTG, the podcast Star Tripper, has a similar vibe. Good story too.
They had me at "Ron Stampler hides in his pants."
I am not sure how it doesn't seem like these have been listed yet, maybe they are too obvious. But here is my list:
-Radiolab (Amazingly well told stories about every topic)
-Reply All (Hilarious dudes talking about internet trends and memes mostly)
-More Perfect (Essentially RadioLab but specifically focused on interesting supreme court history)
Reply All has wrapped up sadly. I like Radiolab, but sometimes it feels like "doot dootily doo, SCIENCE".
Thartharaa, stories from history told in a way that makes them very moving, bro like I cried one time or two
I was a huge fan of The No Sleep Podcast specially during the early seasons. But recently they've been trying so much unnecessary stuff which kind of takes away the whole fun of listening to it. They also started advertising brands after every story. Definitely recommend listening to the first few seasons though if you like horror.
The Dollop and Casefile True Crime are my two favorites
I have three that I listen to: Distractible, Brain Leak, and Go! My Favorite Sports Team.
Three major ones for me: Dudesy, What's It Called, and Never Seen It. All great comedy podcasts!
- The Unmade Podcast - Podcast about podcasting ideas
- Smashing Security - IT security news

-
RedHanded - British true crime podcast

Dudesy is a new favorite along with Bad Friends
CodeSwitch Pop Culture Happy Hour Stuff You Should Know Stuff You missed in History Class Wait Wait Donβt Tell Me (more of a radio show but I like it anyway)
WTF with Marc Maron is a comedy podcast of interviews with comedians, actors, writers, and musicians. Theyβve hosted some great guests such as Cillian Murphy of Oppenheimer.
Stuff You Should Know. Also a comedy podcast that is essentially a literature review on a plethora of topics covering everything from whether Mallory summited Everest to how HIV works.
