No Such Thing As A Fish is pretty good, it’s basically just more QI

• Darknet Diaries
• If Books Could Kill
• SpyCast

I’ve also listened through Jon Ronson’s 2 season series Things Fell Apart, which is on various culture wars over the years. That’s well worth a listen to, it covers the roots of abortion becoming an issue as well as many others.

Wolf 359. It’s a funny sci-fi radio drama. On my second listen through.

Pretty much exclusively F**kface.

My partner listens to a variety and I do enjoy the bits I hear of This Paranormal Life though.

It’s safe to say that I’m in it for laughs and not much else.

There are three I listen to regularly;

• Adrift
• Three Bean Salad
• The Cryptid Factor

I’ve also just started listening to Mythical Creatures.

• Mandatory Redistribution Party - Left wing political discussion.
• Off Menu - Food discussion usually with comedians based around dream meals.
• RHLSTP - Richard Herring’s Leicester Square Theatre Podcast - Comedy and adjacent discussions in front of a live audience.
• Adam Buxton Podcast - Long form interviews.
• Alexei Sayle Podcast - Angry old man comedian shouts about left wing stuff. Some interviews.
• Horne Section Podcast - Music and comedy with guests.
• The Worst Idea of All Time - 2 NZ comedians watch and review the same film every week for a year.

Triforce podcast, stop skeletons from podcasting, and the yascast

Regular listens are:

• No Such Thing As A Fish
• The Modern Mann
• Infinite Monkey Cage
• Naturebang

Can also recommend:

• The Missing Cryptoqueen
• How To Fuck Up An Airport

My number one Must Listen these days is The Blindboy Podcast.

I like the random nature of it. This week he chatted at length with a Brummie historian about the history of the British working class, last week he went on a deep dive into wanking wardrobes and an Irish spanking cult. Next week he might talk on mindfulness or meditation.

Adding to some good recommendations, some rather popular but not yet mentioned ones: 2 of the “The rest is…” family of podcasts seem rather good to me. Specifically, “The rest is politics” for these who are following the current agenda, and “The rest is history” for these who are fed up with it.

Edit: forgot a more entertainment-oriented one, delivered well in my view. “Clash of the titles” - the guys discuss movies, basically.

Lots. I’ve so many in my subscription list I’m usually quite late catching up.
