Do any of you listen to podcasts? Tell me your favorites!

This’ll be heavily weighted toward history-related podcasts, and I prefer scripted to unscripted shows. So with my biases in mind:

  • The History of Rome
  • The History of Philosophy
  • S Town (aka Shit Town)
  • Serial
  • Fictional
  • Myths & Legends
  • Hardcore History (his delivery is an acquired taste, but he often lingers on salacious details, and I love me some salacious details)
  • The Ancient World
  • Revolutions (from the History of Rome guy)
  • Freakanomics
  • WTF with Marc Maron
  • Lore
  • As a dedicated and eternal NewsRadio fan, I am contractually obligated to listen to any episode of Joe Rogan that features Andy Dick or Dave Foley. I’m not proud of this, but it’s in the rules.

I’ve tried a few true-crime podcasts over the years, figuring that would be a sweet spot for me, but so far… bleh.
