I’d also recommend going to the This American Life website and searching his name. He has quite a few episodes there that are just as good.

S-Town (part of Serial) is a weird, dramatic and overall fantastic podcast!

Loved that one.

Looking to get into a new podcast weekly groove. What’s on your daily or weekly rotation these days?

@chrisjohnnick I like Staavy's World and Bad Friends but both are terribly stupid and I turn them off half of the time. The other half of the time I find them funny and entertaining on my long ride to and from work each day.

This one might have 2 strikes against it but I still enjoyed it
1st strike : might be too niche even for here
2nd strike: technically its political but it's cold war so hopefully statute of limitations applies?

Was reminded of it when @scooter posted a scorpions tune a few days back

It, somewhat humorously, follows the theory that the song winds of change was actually a cia operation to aid in the fall of the iron curtain

@GraemeE Didn‘t know this was actually a theory. On the other hand, however, Da Hoff still seems to be convinced that he single-handedly brought down the berlin wall with Looking for Freedom.

I have been listening to Ologies with Alie Ward. She interviews different "ologists" during each episode. So far, I have enjoyed Erethizonology (PORCUPINES), Domestic Phytology (HOUSEPLANTS), Hippopotomology (HIPPOS), Ambystomology (AXOLOTLS … AND LIMB REGROWTH?), Witchology (WITCHES & WITCHCRAFT) and a few others. It is wholesome and educational, makes for a nice pod to listen to on my hour long commute back and forth from work.

The car was my podcast time and now I barely drive at all. I miss them. I’d like to find a good one about the conspiracy theory that Courtney killed Kurt. It makes perfect sense to me.

Another shout out for the Dan Carlin - Hardcore History podcast.

If you've never listened to the series about Genghis Khan, you really should. It's immense. Carlin is so compelling with his narration and detail. Essential.

I guess I might as well admit I've been listening to Joe Rogan for what feels like 15 years. Certain topics, conversations I skip. Think Rogan has the ability to have a conversation with someone like it's the first time he's sat down to do a pod - so you get to play Rogan bingo with certain things he's probably repeated 1000 times. It's about his guests and he's had some crackers. Do love anything that breaks my brain: quantum physics, simulation theory.

I also love the comedian eps as I'm very much tethered to the US comedy scene and I'm obsessed with Kill Tony podcast (but via YouTube as it's really a visual watch). Also, anything MMA/UFC and I'm there too.

Courtney killed Kurt.

Or Courtney hired el Duce from the Mentors to do it

I heard this theory before, and didn’t el Deuce exit this life by sig heiling a train head on?
