I’m getting close to the bottom of my backlog on a few podcasts, so I’m looking to get something new in there.

Personally, it’s been, in no particular order:

  • If Books Could Kill
  • Darknet Diaries
  • Hard Fork
  • 99% Invisible
  • The War on Cars
  • The Urbanist Agenda
  • The Climate Denier’s Playbook
  • Well There’s Your Problem

I’m mildly considering getting into Behind the Bastards and It Could Happen Here, but I’m a little bit skeptical on account of how damn much there is to be listened to in their feed.

    I’ve heard about this one before, but I’m downloading an episode now.

    The one thing I hate about QI is that I’ve already seen it all and there aren’t any more episodes.

    Edit: That was great. It totally scratched the QI itch. Among many other tidbits, I now know how leech treatments were discovered, that there’s a specific frequency that is arousing for badgers and sets off car alarms, and that in one year, over 700 American students were arrested for owning pagers.

    Edit: Holy shit. The author of Goodnight Moon literally died from an overly-enthusiastic “can-can kick”. She did it to prove she was feeling fine… (ironically) but she dislodged a blood clot that instantly killed her.

      Well now I know you’re the type of person who starts a podcast newest to oldest instead of the other way around lol
