Good job putting in links, should've done that on mine. Haven't listened to AoM in a while

Currently 2, but unfortunately for (almost) everyone here they are both Dutch .

One is a daily news podcast where journalists and/or experts talk about something that is relevant right now. Every episode is 20-30 minutes and features a single topic. Today it was about the NATO leadership. Who could be the next leader, how is it decided and stuff like that. Yesterday about a national political party, the day before about Wagner's shenanigans on Saturday.

The other is a weekly 40 minute podcast about the war in Ukraine. There is a host and 2 former generals, one of them used to be the commander of the Dutch army. Every week they talk about what happened, why it happened and how it happened. They also have a certain topic that they talk about from their own experience or what they are seeing Ukraine right now. Like how tanks are best used, what the west can realistically (also factor in politics) do and how western militaries would respond so something like what Wagner did. Because they don't have to prove to anyone which side they are on, they can be honest and realistic. It makes a lot of news and opinions shared online look even more stupid.

Wrong Station: Episodic horror podcast based out of Canada. Very well written and superbly well acted. The only podcast I actively subscribe to the patreon of.

Nextlander Podcast: Gaming podcast from 3 of the founding members of Giant Bomb (Vinny, Alex, and Brad).

The Jimmy Dore Show: Comedy/politics talk show. I don't actually agree with his political takes 100% of the time, but that is more interesting than listening to somebody who always agrees with me.

The Doughboys - a podcast where they review chain restaurants (fast food to fast casual to high end chains). The hosts (Nick Wiger and Mike Mitchell, comedians) have a love-hate relationship that makes it so fun and real. And their guests are the best.

High rollers! I've been meaning to listen to that, mostly because I'm a big hat films fan. Is there a good starting point?

All of the Rogan comedy circle ones, JRE, Your Mom's house, Two bears One Cave, This past weekend.

Lex Friedman Podcast is great when I'm in a deep think kind of mood.

I found a niche little historical podcast on the American frontier called Furs and Frontiers

Lore and Cabinate of curiosity are always great to fall back in to for a bit.

Man, I feel like JR and Tom Segura are like the Howard Stern of my generation. But somehow less thoughtful, and more edgy. It’s shock jock radio with lots of laughing at their own β€œjokes.”

…Now I feel bad. Keep enjoying what you enjoy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Don't feel bad, to each their own. It's not everybody's thing and I get that.

I was too young to really know Howard Stern so never I don't really know him. It comes in waves for me, sometimes if I'm stressed at work I just want to listen to some stupid jackassery on my way home. Then other times I want to learn more or have a more thoughtful podcast.
