Arnold_Palmer Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 I didn’t see any thread related to podcasts so I apologize if there was one already made at some point but curious to see if anyone has any good recommendations for podcasts, or what kind of podcasts people here listen to. I have a lot of down time at work, so I usually have a podcast on while I plug through my work. One podcasted I’m really into right now is a neuroscientist named Andrew Huberman, he’s fantastic he puts a lot of effort and information into his podcasts and he’s someone I respect a lot. A few other podcasts I listen to is stuff you should know, Jordan Peterson, Mind Pump (fitness podcast), the mindset mentor, and I’m pretty into fantasy sports so the fantasy footballers is a great podcast when I’m looking for something light to listen to.

Noeller Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 The Ringer Podcast Network.......it's my go to. Founded by Bill Simmons ("The Boston Sports Guy", formerly of ESPN, HBO and Grantland), it has some of the best talk on just about any subject you can think of. In particular, check out "The Rewatchables", "The Big Picture", "The Watch", and "The Prestige TV Podcast"........ TrueBlue4ever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCon Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 My regular listens are... Ongoing History of New Music - I could listen to Alan Cross read the phonebook. It's really a radio show but it's been a staple of my listening for 20 years. Podcasts just make it more convenient. Stuff You Should Know - it's pretty light and fun. Some baseball podcasts that no one is interested in - Stark, Rosenthal, Olney, and some others Some soccer podcasts that no one is interested in. History of Rome - Mike Duncan. I've started it for the third time. I've also listened to his Revolutions podcast but it never grabbed me the same way. Although, I did enjoy the French Revolution. Under The Influence - Terry O'Reilly. Fantastic look into the world of advertising. Also a CBC radio show but more convenient as a podcast. Was Age of Persuasion until they changed the name back in 2012. The Herle Burly - great show on politics. Although, I don't listen every week. There are a few more that are science related that I don't listen to frequently but on occasion. And, a short series, which was AWESOME! It's called Wind of Change and here's the synopsis: It’s 1990. The Berlin Wall just fell. The Soviet Union is on the verge of collapse. And the soundtrack to the revolution is one of the best selling songs of all time, the metal ballad “Wind of Change,” by the Scorpions. Decades later, journalist Patrick Radden Keefe heard a rumor: the song wasn’t written by the Scorpions. It was written by the CIA. This is his journey to find the truth. Wind of Change is an Original Series from Pineapple Street Studios, Crooked Media and Spotify. TrueBlue4ever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his podcast is half as creative and entertaining as his writing was, I will need to check this one out. Any link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnold_Palmer Posted October 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Another obvious one is Joe Rogan, I won’t catch every episode but when he had an interesting guest on I’ll tune in, guys like Graham Hancock, and Randal Carlson are must listen to in my opinion.

Any link? if you have Spotify (that's where I listen, and where they're "based out of"), just type in The Ringer, and stuff comes up. The best one they do is The Rewatchables (which is a group of knowledgeable people discussing movies that they love to rewatch over and over again) so if you go on Spotify and type in "The Rewatchables", it'll come up. I'm sure you can google "The Ringer Podcast Network" and a web version will show up. TrueBlue4ever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue_gold_84 Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 Came across this informative and fascinating podcast a few weeks ago on the drive to work: Bad Blood: The Story of Eugenics Amazing how much of that hits home today. BBC Radio has a ton of excellent content. Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark H. Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 ^^ riveting stuff. Some people who are / were highly thought of, were staunch eugenists. blue_gold_84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
