Rule of Google: if it works, kill it.
I know, I know, using Google apps isn’t the best, but this was a perfectly good Podcast app with all the features you might want.
Apparently they’re moving everything over to YouTube Music, where a lot of the features of Google Podcasts aren’t implemented yet.
I’ve moved over to an app from F-Droid.
Fine. I finally installed f-droid, because while I don’t listen to a lot of podcasts, I am trying to listen to more, and YT Music is ass for finding new podcasts.
Please give me recommendations for more podcasts that may like based on what I got
Darknet Diaries
Check out Darknet Diaries. High production, in-depth stories on hacking and cyber security. Good for tech-heads and non-tech-heads
TrashFuture is great if you want to be amused/depressed by tech journalist news.
Lions Led By Donkeys is a great war history podcast series.
Neither have ads, which I really value in any podcast. Probably the only reason I don’t subscribe to BtB.
Based on Behind The Bastards, check out Knowledge Fight. Dan and Jordan have co-hosted on BtB. They track Alex Jones and Infowars. They’re funny and delightful.
Based on Wait Wait, Don’t Tell Me, check out The Unbelievable Truth. Hosted by David Mitchell on BBC Radio 4. Very funny celebrity panel show where they tell outrageous lies about a particular topic, but try to snuggle truths undetected past their opponents. Very funny, and there’s years of back catalog to listen to, if you’re so inclined.
“smuggle” not "snuggle "
“Search Engine” is essentially the replacement for Reply All, but with just PJ Vogt. It’s really good.
Hi. I listen to half the podcasts on this list. My favorite podcast is oh no! Ross and Carrie they don’t just report on fringe science, spirituality, and claims of the paranormal, but take part themselves. For example, they did a whole series where they joined scientology. They took part in experiments with flatearthers. They go to psychics and then talk about their cold reading techniches etc It’s very funny and they are very nice they don’t go and try to debunk or whatever. They go with genuine curiosity and skepticism. They are on maximum fun which was recently turned into a co-op, I think that’s pretty cool. Other shows I enjoy from max fun are Sawbones, it’s about medical history and judge John Hodgman which is more wholesome fun. Another skeptical podcast I enjoy is Skeptoid, it’s from another network, and has very short episodes every week. Adam Conover’s Factually is also funny and educational
Thank you, subscribed to most, they seem right up my alley.
I was apprehensive about the first two because they sound (from their titles) like the type of conservative conspiracy theory my FIL talks about. He was talking to my BIL (FIL’s stepdaughters husband) about the collapse, and where to go yesterday. He decided Mexico since “they’re only doing all that shit in the industrialized countries” , and I couldn’t help but silently laugh that a.) he thinks Mexico isn’t an industrialized country, and b.) he would illegally immigrate there to avoid politicized chaos.
