Do you have a lot of downtime where you're driving or working? Maybe your gaming music sucks. A good podcast can remedy that- where you can learn about anything from experts in their respective field or just listen to a bunch of people screw around. This thread is dedicated to any podcast that you love listening to and don't mind sharing.
The guidelines are simple:
1) Pitch your podcast. Pretend the name isn't self-explanatory and nobody has ever heard of this podcast.
2) Link it- some podcasts delve into some very obscure corners of the world. It'll look like this: <a href="Podcast_Link">Podcast_Name</a>, but with [square] brackets to replace the <arrow> brackets.
3) There's plenty of other long-form content that's relatable, but perhaps not officially a podcast because it's just a really cool lecture. Those are fine, same rules apply.
My go-to for the longest time would be the Co-Optional Podcast. Hundreds of new video games come out every week- and these people play hundreds of games every month. If there's something good out there being released on any major system you'll hear of it from them.
The only reason I'm moving away from this one is because I'm not as interested as much in finding new video games these days. For the longest time I just tuned in because these people were good company and they know what makes great games tick.
So far I've picked up on a bit of an internet favourite- the Reply All Podcast. This one I fell in love with pretty quickly, and it largely covers the adventures of an independent journalist. In the episode "Long Distance" he tells the story of how he receives a scam phone call, and right away he could tell something was off. Most people would hang up and pretend it never happened. Some would even try to call back and yell at the scammer. This guy instead sees an opportunity. What if he could learn about these scammers? Who were they? Where did they come from? Why do they make a living scamming people? And so... that's what this guy does. He climbs up the rabbit hole and figures out a lot of interesting stuff along the way.
