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

    that was brilliant but a short series (relatively).

    I like the following


    Revisionist History by Malcolm Gladwell.
    The MMQB: 10 Things - NFL
    Planet Money
    EconTalk
    Around the NFL
    50 Things That Made The Modern Economy
    More or Less Behind the Stats


    I use podkicker for podcasts. Just find it simple to use.

    Thanks for all the suggestions on here. I've subscribed to a good few new ones from it.

    S-Town was fantastic, If it was a movie i probably wouldn't have believed the story. Such a shame John existed in the world he did. If he was born any where else think of what he could have been and achieved. And he knew that.

    It's mostly true crime podcasts for me, hard to find a good one that grips you though. My top picks:

    Serial (no sh1t)

    Someone knows something

    Missing and Murdered: Who killed Alberta Williams?

    Dirty John


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,780 ✭✭✭sentient_6


    The Dollop
    Ear Hustle
    Adam Buxton
    WTF
    Around the nfl

    Audio Dramas I liked or currently liking:
    A Scottish Podcast
    Passage
    Edict Zero FIS
    Wormwood
    Transmissions From Colony One

    If you like music and comedy try The Horne Section.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,535 ✭✭✭Mehaffey1


    Nothing beats Dan Carlin's Hardcore History and everything else just passes the aching amount of time between his releases.

    Joe Rogan Experience can be hilarious/ really interesting or dreadful depending on the guest.

    Casefile is great and also gave The Trail Went Cold which isn't far off in terms of quality, Trevor Deely episode covered an impressive amount in 45mins

    Daniele Bolleli's History on Fire is fantastic too.

    Welcome to Night Vale is a cool quirky show with some genuine lol moments about aliens taking over a small town and how life goes on.

    Unpopular Culture - Has a good series on the psychology of Black Mirror.

    Sawbones - comedy about old timey medical treatments (trepanation, blood letting, opium etc)

    ReplyAll - interesting stories relating to the internet.

    Hidden Brain, Invisibilia, Ear Hustle, Bizarre States....


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,495 ✭✭✭✭eviltwin


    I've become addicted to Ear Hustle. It's produced by inmates of San Quentin prison and its about life behind bars.


  • Registered Users Posts: 78 ✭✭Deise_vixen


    I'm a big true crime fan so I'm looking forward to starting some of the podcasts mentioned by previous posters. 
    The ones that I have really enjoyed are:

    S-Town 
    My Favourite Murder 
    Heavens Gate 
    Dirty John 
    Serial 
    And I'm sure there are others that I'm forgetting!

    Just come across the History Hit podcast. Fascinating stories about various eras of history. Well worth a listen. My favourite episode so far is the real great escape.

    Recently started listening to a podcast by a guy called Gvdzooks who is a photographer/former musician/vlogger/instagram guy amongst other things.

    It's called OTWD (On The Way Down) and it's a nice one to listen to.

    Loving the two Johnny's podcast from the beginning. Just the two lads rambling on about different topics but it's funny.

    I loved this up until about 4 weeks ago when he had his big art episode. I thought it was terrible, but he said he got a great response from it. A few more weeks of similar terrible episodes about disco and I've unsubscribed.

    have being listening to that for years.

    masters of scale has a similar vibe but i don't like it as much.

    business wars and legal wars can be ok as well. e.g. netflix business wars v.good.

    planet money is also good with some very interesting episodes. check out "the onion king"

    freakonomics can also have it's moments

    techstuff may sound techy but covers a lot of topics. if you search back through the years you will get some brilliant episodes like a 3 parter on the history of sony. best buy also done and some other companies.
