For me it’s This Week In Google.
I listen to it every week and between new episodes I listen to the archival episodes I haven’t heard yet.
Revolutions by Mike Duncan. It’s a history podcast with each season about a revolution, American, French, South American etc. with a huge backlog
Already listened through once but now I put it on to go to sleep, cause it’s fine if I miss something now.
I am actually currently binging old episodes of Critical Role, but it’s my first time through so I’m not sure if that counts.
Also, I’d re-listen to most every 99% Invisible and Planet Money episode.
Blowback
99% Invisible
Came here to say this show and Planet Money.
Cautionary Tales has some good episodes that I’ve listened to more than once. My favorite one is called Bowie, Jazz, and the unplayable piano.
QWERPline and Welcome to Nightvale. Both of them are comedy faux local radio broadcasts on completely different ends of the spectrum.
Mission to Zyxx and The Orbiting Human Circus. Both absolute masterpieces in their own ways.
My latest is Help I Sexed My Boss, an agony aunt style write in show with two male hosts from entirely opposite walks of life who no one believes are friends irl.
Behind the Bastards for me. They have had some great and very informative episodes.
I’m super behind and that mostly doesn’t matter, which is nice. Excellent podcast. Currently on part 3 of the Thomas Jefferson deep dive. For people who like Behind The Bastards, check out their limited run of Behind The Police.
I loved the Jefferson deep dive. I also lived the Robert E Lee deep dive. Fuck those guys.
Knowledge Fight. Keeps me up-to-date on the right-wing grifter-sphere. Wacky Wednesday episodes were the best when they’d listen to Project Camelot or Jim Bakker. Equal parts SMH and LOL :) Long live the Bachelor Squatch!
Darknet Diaries. Full of fascinating cybersecurity stories and interviews, with both whitehats and blackhats.
I kinda like the crime more
I think they tend to be more interesting too, yeah.
the adventure zone.

NoSleep. It’s a great horror podcast
No Such Thing as a Fish, from the QI Elves. Funny, informative, rarely about current events which is a breath of fresh air. Just nerds getting nerdy about stuff.
Yes! I’m on my ~20th play though I reckon. I get to the end and go straight back to the start.
Dammi I gotta start that. It’s been on my list for ages and I’ve never heard an episode.
Car talk, Dan Carlin’s hardcore History, the maggott show, freakonomics, game design round table
