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.

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.

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.

Some of my favourite episodes to love to hate - are the Adult Diaper Lover Forums & Trip Advisor Style Prostitute Reviews

My mind is seriously messed up now. I can't hold normal conversations anymore

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

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.

The blindboy pod is my new favourite

Azatadine · 21-12-2017 8:04pm

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

BBC mainly, in our time, moral maze, thinking allowed, newshour extra.

Sam Harris can be good too.

that was brilliant but a short series (relatively).

theboringfox · 04-03-2018 1:47pm

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.

Murdoc90 · 08-03-2018 12:04pm

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

sentient_6 · 13-03-2018 9:45am

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

The Royal Scam · 31-03-2018 1:43am

If you like music and comedy try The Horne Section.

Mehaffey1 · 01-04-2018 12:22am

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.

bonzodog2 · 01-04-2018 10:13am

I've been liking http://www.bacteriofiles.com/ for a while now.

NineEggs · 01-04-2018 11:03am

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....

eviltwin · 01-04-2018 4:46pm

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

Deise_vixen · 10-04-2018 3:05pm

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!

GalwayGrrrrrl · 11-06-2018 6:37am

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.

Belle E. Flops · 18-06-2018 10:30pm

No Such Thing as a Fish
Irish History Podcast
Limetown

Mantis Toboggan · 18-06-2018 10:55pm

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.

LazerShark · 15-02-2019 6:40pm

Embedded, Bear Brook, Heavyweight and Joe Rogan sometimes.

another shout for comedian Joe Rooney's podcast, Podarooney

interviews with musicians and comedians, actors

genuinely nice guy and good interviewer

griffin100 · 22-03-2019 12:05am

Beyond Today from BBC Radio 4 is good. Shirt daily podcasts about a broad range of subjects. Most are very good (the odd one is sh1te).

deisedude · 23-03-2019 11:41pm

Second Captains
Off the Ball
The Gaa Hour
An Irishman Abroad
Ireland Unfiltered
Marathon Talk
LOI Weekly

MzMurfy · 24-03-2019 8:53pm

Expanded perspectives podcast is great. two lads that cover some fascinating topics, eg mothman and Amelia Earhart.

North Cork Star · 24-03-2019 8:57pm

2 Johnnies Podcast is excellent. Easy listen to and quite funny. Topping the Irish Podcast Charts every week.

Agreed on the 2 Johnnies. I'm usually not a fan of the "Facebook famous" types but the podcast with the two lads and Maura is very entertaining.

Planet money by NPR is always interesting even if you are bored by finance etc

Marathon Talk

How's that? iirc, you ran DCM last year. I found one called Strength and Conditioning Journal podcast which is more so geared to S&C professionals, coaches and probably an academic audience. I don't want to get too hooked on a running one in case it puts things in my head.

I ran DCM 2017 and training for Cork now but that being said the name of the podcast is misleading as its a general running podcast.

I'd recommend to anyone interested in running not just training for a marathon. Good bit of banter between the hosts and they get some good guests. Clocks in around an hour and a half most weeks

I emailed the host of the S&C one. He noted I was emailing from Ireland and said the archive includes interviews with Daniel Caulfield and Ian Dunican. Also had one on GAA (hurling) from Aug 2018.

He recommended one called Moving2Live called too. http://www.moving2live.com/

cloudatlas · 01-04-2019 1:02am

A few nobody has mentioned:

BBC Radio 4 A Good Read: Every week 2 guest celebrities and the host choose a book that the other panelists have to read and they discuss each one for 10 minutes each. It's interesting hearing the personal reasons why people choose certain books and it has given me ideas of books to read.

Savage Love Cast: Dan Savage is a gay advice columnist who answers questions phoned in by gay, straight and everyone else pertaining to personal and relationship issues relating to love, sex and partnership. Very interesting, I have a different take on my approach to relationships as a result.

Under the Skin with Russell Brand. Russell who is studying some aspect of religion and politics at UCL invites academics, philosophers, religious and spiritual practitioners and celebrities on his show for a chat about their areas of interest and expertise. Mostly very informative and entertaining.

The 2Johnnies is decent by times
