I've a long drive back to Cork later and I'm looking for Podcast suggestions.

The Joe Rogan Experience is my usual go to, he interviews a nice wide variety of people and had a nice balance of famous names on his show and people who you never heard of but prove to very interesting anyway.

I've started listening to "Unexplained" and find it interesting enough while going to and from work.

Yeah, I heard the diaper one alright, between you, me and the wall dressing up as a baby and pooping myself in public places is not all that alien to me. I listened to the one about pickers in bed the other night and dry heaved, absolutely sickening

By far the most disturbing one I have listened to - and I have listened to them all - was the Bug Chaser episode. It's pretty dark. And we ain't talking about insects either.

For any Elliott Smith fans out there, Say Yes: An Elliott Smith Podcast. Found it very enjoyable.

Good spot, hadn't heard of this. I listened to a few episodes and there were moments I laughed out loud. I really enjoy it. Thanks for the recommendation.

I like Casefile and The Trail Went Cold the most. For both, production quality has improved dramatically over the past year. I like how the host for The Trail Went Cold gives a breakdown of all theories in the latter-half of the podcast where he discusses his thoughts. Both hosts treat the subject matter with respect.

I've listened to 2 episodes of The Dollop, both recommended from other podcasts. One was the Enron one and the other was the recent Donald Trump one. Both were great and worth a listen if you want to get into The Dollop.

The Dollop is my favourite podcast, they are a bit hard on the Irish sometimes, in my opinion.

One that i don't think has been mentioned is 'The Dollop'. Two american comedians, one tells a story about american history that the other one hasn't heard about. Usually pretty crazy stories, very funny too. Some notable ones are the Tickle one, two daredevils, vampire panic, 10c beer night, loads more though.

Started listening to this recently too. The Tank Chase is a particular favourite.

Some great suggestions here, I'm going to start Casefile now.

Dan Carlin - Hardcore History.

Currently on episode 5 of 'Blueprint for Armageddon'. Must be about 12 hours of WW1 at this stage and I think I'll listen to it all over again in a few months.

The only thing that annoys me slightly about Carlin's podcast is where he continuously announces that he isn't a 'proper historian'. I doubt his legions of fans care, and the quality and depth of research in his shows is outstanding.

There's very few people out there who would dare to make an 18 hour series of podcasts about WW1, and even fewer who would make it so utterly compelling.

My own favourites at the moment are:

99% Invisible
50 Things That Made the Modern Economy
Adam Buxton
Reasons to be Cheerful (former UK Labour Party leader, Ed Milliband - funny and insightful stuff if politics is your thing)
The Economist
Talking History - Newstalk

Cool, I'm listening through all the old ones and I've avoided the normans because there's so many. You reckon it's worth listening to?

Definitely. Learned a lot about the Norman Invasion. However he just dropped it and moved on to a series about coal mining in his home town. He said he would come back to it but never did and instead has now gone onto a series about the Famine. He did something similar with the original series on Pre-Norman Ireland. Was really good about the various high kings etc and then he lost interest and just dropped it and moves on to something else. What he does on each topic is really good but just be prepared for a frustrating end (or lack there of) to the story. If anyone is thinking of doing a history podcast there is definitely space to to do one on the Norman conquest of Ireland because he showed it is a fascinating topic there are literally centuries more yet to be covered.

My Dad Wrote a Porno

This is tremendous fun. A middle-aged man wrote a terrible erotic novel and his son, along with two of his mates, read out a chapter every week and rip it to shreds. It's one of those podcasts that will have you laughing like an idiot in public places while everyone wonders what the hell is wrong with you.

Another one, which just started this week, is ESPN's 30 for 30 series. They've been running as tv documentaries for the past few years and they've now decided to do some in audio form. If the quality is anything like the tv series they should be outstanding.

Irish History Podcast can be good especially the series he did on the Norman's but he tends to lost interest in a series after a few months and just drops it and moves into something else which can be frustrating but when he is on a topic or can be good.
