This American Life, The Ezra Klein Show and Hard Fork were already named by others.

  • Wizard and the Bruiser, fun hosts and history of nerdy stuff

  • Your Kickstarter Sucks, very funny podcast

  • 99% Invisible, about design of objects mainly

  • Battleground, updates about the war in Ukraine

If you like news, I really like The Daily and Up First, each of which gives a daily summary of something in the news. The former is a 30min deep dive on one subject, the latter is 3 pieces of news all in 15mins.

If you like TV shows, a lot of shows are doing rewatches now. It’s Always Sunny and Office Ladies are two I can recommend personally, but there’s a Wizard of Waverly Place one, a Buffy one, a Suits one. Tons.

Outside of that, I enjoy listening to

  • This American Life (weekly podcast about people’s lives, it’s great)

  • Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me (a weekly comedy news show)

  • Revisionist History (Malcolm Gladwell exploring subjects we get wrong today)

  • Ezra Klein (a smart guy talking about economics, politics, war/peace…etc)

  • Pod Save America (left-leaning political news)

I listen to a lot of podcasts. What do you like?
