🎙I basically only listen to these sorts of podcasts so hopefully these recs will be of use to you
If books could kill - very funny but also informed and thorough discussions of non fiction books - has helped be more critical about what I read and be aware of how authors distort facts and create narratives
Radiolab - investigative deep dives into a range of topics - I would really recommend the ep playing god
Us and them - deep dives into systemic issues in the us like gun violence
Through line - goes back into the history of various topics like the history of smell
Ologies - lighthearted but very informative episodes about various niche fields - I love the episodes on thanatology
Nice try! - focuses on the history of design and architecture that usually isn’t covered - really rec the ep about germania (Germany during and after hitler)
Conflicted: a history podcast - really rec the series in the partition of India
Natalie Haynes stands up for the classics - very entertaining recaps of Greek myths
Book club bbc - interviews with authors Others: - the experiment (the Atlantic) - search engine - you’re wrong about - classy with jonathan menjivar (talks about ‘taste’ ans his that intersects with class) - articles of interest (deep dives into fashion and history) - in our time - 20000 hertz - longform (very insightful interviews) - song exploder - unexplainable - the Anthropocene reviewed - you must remember this - 99% invisible - the rest is history - the great women artists
Hope you find some podcasts you love ❤️

🎧sorry most of these are history podcasts bc that’s mostly what i listen to but there’s a range of topics
last week tonight with john oliver (youtube) - he recaps the last week or a specific topic in a very understandable funny yet educational way
conflicted: a history podcast - for something a bit more serious in tone - its deep dives into different events in history especially those that don’t get much attention
book club (bbc) - discussions of books with the authors and a group of readers - so many episodes going back years to choose from
slow burn - season long deep dives into events like the clinton impeachment, lead up to the iraq war, rise of clarence thomas
anthropocene reviewed - has a more hopeful tone - john green reviewing and explaining different aspects of the world like orbital sunrises
contrapoints (youtube) - tackles different topics from a lot philosohical cultural sociological perspective - love the video on twilight us & them - talks about decisive problems in the us from both sides my fav episode is the gun divide
colorless wonderland (youtube) - my fav book channel hes so enthusiastic and has such unique book recs
the morbid zoo (youtube) - deep dives into horror and thriller movies from sociological cultural perspective - she’s so smart and and well read my fav videos are on civil war and sound of freedom
nice try! - exploration of design and its interactions with people history government and more - highly recommend the episode about chandigarh or germania
radio lab - tackles interesting questions that combine law science history sociology - my fav episodes are playing god and eye in the sky
the audio long read - podcast form of long stories from the guardian on a bunch of different topics
more: - throughline - philosophy tube - 99% invisible - the experiment - longform - what roman mars can learn about con law - codeswitch - in our time - audacious with chion wolf - story corps - the daily - ologies

this is the podcast that really made me value podcasts, as well as being one of the biggest parts of my own personal recovery with food. cannot recommend highly enough!
Aubrey Gordon and Michael Hobbes debunk various health and wellness claims, studies, movies and biases on this show.
truly changed the way i look at the world, myself, and has given me a more critical eye for the infinite wellness industry.
