There's gotta be a ton of us addicted to #podcasts on here y/y? Mine are:
OKAY so how many of you can see the screenshots on the ^ post?? Is it only people on my instance??
UGH it seems like the answer is yes. Okay for real, my top #podcasts:
Kermode and Mayo (movies), Friday Night Comedy, Answer Me This, My Dad Wrote a Porno, Pop Culture Happy Hour, What's The Point (stats/big data), Another Round (culture/ comedy), 2 Dope Queens (comedy), No Such Thing As A Fish (trivia), My Favorite Murder (true crime), Infinite Monkey Cage (science), Code Switch (social justice), Still Processing (ibid), Slate Money, Switched On Pop (music), Lingthusiasm (language)
*takes deep breath*
Reply All (internet culture), Myths and Legends, Invisibilia (psychology), Colour Code (race in Canada), More Perfect (history of law), Black Tapes (fiction), Limetown (fiction)
okay that's most of them will take further recs for #podcasts
@phire How about Tanis. Similar to Black Tapes and is more current. Black Tapes seems to be in an extended hiatus which is a drag.
@phire I'm all in on Important If True and Idle Thumbs. Usually all I have time for. I'll list those for a theoretical future day, though!
@deathmtn Both of those sound great! Thanks!!
@phire The History of the English Language podcast really fed my dormant etymology nerd feels
@phire I subscribe to a lot of mostly video game related junk, but these days my must listens are Waypoint podcast (video gaming featuring Austin Walker), and Something True (odd history monologue, hosted on Idle Thumbs network). Mystery Show (Starlee Kine solving mysteries) is done and dusted but its great IMO (I can see how some may be put off by TAL/twee-ness, but not me), if you're not familiar. Also like what I've heard of Within The Wires, narrative by Night Vale people iirc.
@phire also want to chime in and ditto Limetown is fantastic for anybody else wandering through looking for recs
@phire I've really been enjoying Sudipta Bhawmik's "Stories of Mahabharata". Just like it sounds: a podcast where he retells individual stories from the Indian epic. It's somewhere between straight story telling and an audio drama (one voice, but sound effects and other atmospheric touches). #podcasts
