I adore podcasts!
"Caliphate" was very good.
"Detective" is excellent.
"Death in Ice Valley" spooky and sad and intriguing.
"Infinite Monkey Cage" funny, insightful, educational.
"13 Minutes to the Moon" was very good,but Kevin Fong needed to stop getting in the way of the narrative.
"Revisionist History" with Malcolm Gladwell is continually interesting and surprising,in all kinds of directions.
"Improvised Star Trek" is brilliant. Very funny,and makes me miss "Whose Line is it Anyway?" even more.
"Atlanta Monster"
"Man at the Window" : both of these are good if you are interested in how crimes as big as these can sometimes evade solution,and in how police work cases.
"Root of Evil" and how this story is not more widely known I do not know. It is horrifying,if even half of it is as-reported. Tragic,too. And illuminates an art movement most people think was just about melting clocks. It's bizarre.
"Serial". The first two seasons are excellent,just excellent.
"The Life Scientific", "Frontiers", "The Documentary Podcast", "Discovery": all BBC podcasts,all very interesting with a diverse range of subjects. You never what you'll learn next which I really like!
"Stephen Fry's Great Leap Years" is really, really interesting. Esoteric yet expansive, endlessly entertaining and educational!
"Oh No, Ross and Carrie" because woo and pseudoscience cannot say it wasn't given a fair crack of the whip. And routinely found to be wanting. Very funny, informative and remarkably polite given some of the crap they have to listen to.
On top of that the chemistry that these two have with each other is really nice to be around! I would love friends like that.
"The Thinking Atheist" because no-one in this country seems to do anything like this, probably because we're complacent about it. Conversely it IS interesting to see how, despite how proactive many of the guests are, it feels like they're playing catch-up with debates and issues that Humanists are well-versed in,in most of Western Europe.
"The Beef and Dairy Network" because it just gets stranger,funnier and more inspired as it goes on.
Just a few of my favourites.
