I’m looking to stock up on podcasts, whether in Mandarin, French or English. Don’t worry about my tastes I’ll sort it out later

But share good podcasts in other languages ​​if you know any (it might be useful for other people)

    Darknet diaries is one of my all time favorites.

    If you like music analysis then Strong Songs is also interesting

    And for a non serious listen I like to listen to Sherlock & Co, which is an amazing audioplay where Watson becomes a podcaster to deal with his PTSD. The adventures are self contained, so you can hop on any you like.

    I mostly go for nonfiction stuff related to current events or history. Unfortunately some of these aren’t free.

    Slow Burn - Each season goes deep on a particular event in recent (US) history. Quality falls off a bit after the first few seasons.

    Fiasco - produced and hosted by the the guy that did the first 2 seasons of Slow Burn. Also US centric.

    History on Fire - Haven’t listened to too much of this yet but was suggested the episode on Ötzi the Iceman which made me a fan. Probably the only one on here that isn’t US centric.

    Throghline from NPR. Another history-ish podcast but focuses on current issues and the history behind them.

    Going to check out some of these suggestions.

    I don’t listen to podcasts often. But I like:

    • Citations Needed: a podcast about media. Basically goes into how media covers some events and topics from a leftist perspective.

    • Cane and Rinse: video game discussions and analyses. Each episode covers a specific game

    In no particular order, I listen to all of them regularly:

    • Omnibus - general obscure history hosted by indie rocker John Roderick and Jeopardy’s golden boy Ken Jennings

    • The Dollop - (mostly) American history with a leftist bent. One comedian reads a story the other hasn’t heard before.

    • Not Another D&D Podcast - apologies for the first episode, but great world- and character-building. Really shows how great cooperative storytelling can be

    • Last Podcast on the Left - comedy/horror. Conspiracies, cults, UFOs, and other weird shit. Their historical deep dives are awesome.

    I listen to these regularly, but there’s a limited series podcast I like to recommend called S-Town. It’s excellent, especially if you’re from the southern US or grew up in a rural area. If you aren’t from the south or a rural area, it’ll probably be an extra-wild ride!
