What are your go to podcasts? 🎧

I, myself have quite a few podcasts I listen to depending on my mood, whether I want to learn something new, I’m going for a walk or generally just want to chill.

I’ve been recommended nearly all the podcasts I listen to and I’ve learnt a lot from them so I wanted to know what do you listen to? What do you recommend? 🙂

I’ll go first,

Crime Junkie (audiochuck) or The Casual Criminalist (Cloud10 and iHeartPodcasts) - I’m quite the crime junkie myself and so these are perfect for that. One is more casual than the other but they both really do their research on the cases and tell them in a great way.

Syntax - Tasty Web Development Treats (Wes Bos and Scott Tolinski) or Ladybug Podcast (Emma Bostian, Sidney Buckner, Kelly Vaughn and Ali Spittal). - These are my two go toos if I want to learn something new, I’ve listened to many of their podcasts about Digital Content, Node.Js, study guides, what’s new in the tech industry. They both have some great material!

Lastly if I’m feeling historical is Dark History (Audioboom Studios) - I’ve learnt some great things from this podcast about the darker stories of history that you may not know of or you definitely didn’t get taught in school!

What about you? 🙂

My go to podcasts are related to table-top RPGs; but not the actual play variety but more about discussing the genre and "tabletop techniques". The hosts of these podcasts bring a critical eye to media and share their deep well-spring of knowledge regarding table-top RPGs.

Daydreaming about Dragons • A podcast on Anchor

Welcome to Daydreaming about Dragons, in which I'll think out loud about the techniques that help make tabletop role-playing games fun. I am always looking for feedback about your play experiences. I can't wait to hear from you.

+1 for Syntax FM
Also .net rocks, especially the geek-out episodes.
JSParty

Freelancer podcast from devchat. Not prolific but the back catalogue is full of useful stuff. Same with the MFCEO if you don't mind F-bombs. Akimbo and freakonomics for thought provoking social impact.
Back catalogue of 2 keto dudes for health and diet.
3 legs 4 wheels for F1 news and opinion

If you can manage with the subject matter, I really enjoy Sounds Like Hate by the SPLC. They do lots of deep drives into what fosters hate and hate crime, the US's history with marginalized groups, and how communities are dealing with it.
They do an especially good job at letting people who are in hate groups explain their reasoning, while still actively challenging them instead of just giving them a platform.

Love this question! Here are some of my favorites —

There Are No Girls on the Internet | iHeart

Marginalized voices have always been at the forefront of the internet, yet our stories often go overlooked. Bridget Todd chronicles our experiences online, and the ways marginalized voices have shaped the internet from the very beginning. We need monuments to all of the identities that make being online what it is. So let’s build them.
