I always recommend Blowback, and I’ve recently been getting into Rev Left Radio. The former is an excellent anti-imperialist podcast going over the crimes of the US Empire, the latter is a solid podcast discussing Marxist-Leninist history, theory, and practice.
Hidden Brain and Hardcore History
I like listening to Cose Molto Umane (it’s also available on all podcast apps). The host talks about fan facts and origij stories behind ordinary things. Comes out every day and it’s under 10 min am episode.
I know Jam from Radio Popolare, very funny guy!
But you know who does employ children, Sophie?
Fall of Civilizations - long narrative based historical episodes regarding civilizational collapse. One of my favorites by far
The Deprogram - 3 lads from vastly different countries yapping about socialism, imperialism, and world events with a relatively casual tone. They are silly guys and I like them.
Blowback - long-form narrative retellings of various US imperial crimes. Each season is a different country.
The Magnus Archives - my beloved. A horror/mystery audio drama that deserves an essay to describe it. This is my favorite work of fiction. I don’t even know where to start just try it please
I enjoy The Lemonade Stand
Well, There’s Your Problem, a podcast about engineering disasters, with slides. Not as dry as it sounds, a lot of it is taking the piss out of the people in decision-making roles who made the disaster possible. The video version is recommended for afore mentioned slide decks; none of the hosts actually appear on screen.
I’ll also throw in November Kelly’s No Gods No Mayors, and occasional guests Failure To Launch (space disasters) and Beyond The Breakers (shipwrecks).
If you just want to laugh at some crass jokes and bullshit, I’d suggest Cum Town. It’s since ended, but you can find full episodes uploaded on YouTube, and there are some great bits.
Like Ben Shapiro getting assaulted by Mr. Feeny, or when they bullshit around about Gene Roddenberry being an absolute pimp, or when they’re making fun of Jordan Peterson
