If you don't enjoy pop music, try again! but there are also random episodes on other topics like their recent reality tv ep (they talk about Traitors and Love Is Blind lmao). idk I think they're funny!!! also love the idea of two grown ass men being Swifties.

Some I like are more produced and less indie but they're still more than people just sitting around and yapping about whatever people online are currently arguing about, so I feel like they fit the bill!
Lateral with Tom Scott -- combo of trivia and riddles, nerdiest thing i've ever been into and that's saying something
Escape This Podcast -- second nerdiest thing i've ever been into, listening to people do a table top game (think D&D) and their goal is to accomplish an escape room
Weirdest Thing I Learned This Week -- bunch of short science stories
Ologies -- long form, thoughtful interviews with experts in a variety of fields, many of which are quite timely
You Are Good -- Diving into movies that are culturally well known and/or just favorites of the hosts, and getting into why those stories are compelling and what the creators of the movie are saying/trying to say with it
You're Wrong About -- Getting into things that most people think they know about but there's way more to the story and there's often a fundamental misunderstanding in how most people think of the things (stanford prison experiment, donner party, stonewall uprising, and satanic panic are classic eps I recommend to everyone)
Decoder Ring -- Answers why random pop culture things of the present or past became things in the first place
American Hysteria -- Insights into pop culture and society (sounds boring with that description but I promise it's good)

i kinda hated these guys when i first started listening to this show but now i look forward to every episode. they are kinda assholes sometimes but in general they’re pretty funny and have made me laugh out loud in the middle of the sidewalk more than once. they get really interesting guests and also do episodes where it’s just the two of them shooting the shit about current goings-on in culture. def recommend if you live in nyc or la, and/or are terminally online (i fall into both categories)

learning how to breathe in yoga has seriously carried over in my every day life (have you read the articles on email apnea?)! it is sooo good for you bc it stretches and works muscles that other workouts don’t do for you.
that “keep your eyes on your own yoga mat” shit is real too like you are on your own journey!! comparison will kill you!! also I am trying to be mobile when I’m an old person…
