History podcasts are my catnip at the moment. I'm not alone.

What about actual play podcasts? The only podcast I listen other is Glass Cannon. Or rather, shows in their network. Its the only place I get my TTRPG fix anymore
Bottom left is wrong, should mainstream media spewing the propaganda they have been told to.
i enjoyed the comic, and even the inclusion of theo vaughn.
but ive gotta point out that IQ is some nonsense
What about the Nick Fuentes, Tim Pool, and other far right podcasters? Where do they fall on this scale?
Comedy podcasts about death, Mars news, and a random small English soccer team.
Once we were Spacemen?
No, but that's a good one. I was thinking of Dear Hank and John.
yorkshireman explains the machinations of intelligence agencies and the mafia
The All In podcast deserves a separate panel in this
I'm glad that of the 90 podcasts I subscribe to, none of them are in this meme
Tommy Siegel's watching the wrong podcasts.
Did he seriously use Theo Von as the example for the bottom right podcast instead of Lex Fridman?

Here are a few noteworthy podcasts
Since we are listing our favorite pods,
- History the doesn't suck - historic drama about interesting events
- Terrible lizards - dinosaurs and their kin (araaah)
- I have forgotten the name, but it was ghost stories and creepy music
Dinosaurs were not terrible lizards. >:-(
they were very good at being lizards, as demonstrated below
Ghost stories remind me about Lore.
I listened 100+ episodes a long time ago.
you forgot
podcast about engineering disasters, with slides
No one mentioned Trashfuture, recommended, as a fan of WTYP and LLBD
well there's your problem
Lions led by donkeys
hey now, dont forget the McElroys. they got good stuff too.
I found my way in via Lions Led By Donkeys and now I'm addicted to WTYP and KJB. What a collection of lunatics.
LLD is excellent. If my dance card wasn't already overflowing, I'd maybe listen to it more than once every month or two.

Types of podcast I listen to:
- History podcasts (the best type)
- That one French daily fiction podcast about a fictional city that's a mix of realistic and absurd
- A woman reads fairy tales and old novels
- A small group of people (always the same + tye occasional guest) discuss the one thing they're all fascinated by, with a different thematic each day.
I'd be interested in a list, most of the podcasts I listened to while commuting have ended.
And one of the still running podcasts is "372 pages we'll never get back", a funny book club kind of thing with books of dubious quality, and since I read along in between episodes it takes me forever to get to listen to those.
Either French or English-speaking will do.
For the history podcasts, I listene to "The History of Rome" and "Revolutions", both by Mike Duncan, and "The History of Byzantium" by Robien Pierson.
The woman reading fairy tails and books is Abitlate (she also has the youtube channel Abitfrank)
For the group of people chatting format, I have "The Deprogram", which is a communist podcast about politics, and "Une invention sans avenir", a podcast about cinema, which is in French.
The daily fiction one is "La chute de Lapinville", also in French. And while I'm on the topic of French fiction podcats, " Les Donjons de Nahelbeuk" is of course a classic.
I have the same history podcasts but you forgot Dan Carlin somehow!
Great, thank you.
Also, D&D campaign
We need the podcast equivalent of old radio shows, like acting out a story with sound effects
Radiolab? Oh you mean D&D

I listen to C list comedians make dark jokes about dark topics.
last podcast on the left?
Honestly, this chart is sad. I have not listened to a single of any of these type of podcasts because I stay away from bad content.

You forgot:
Independent media news show with a hyper-niche ideology covering political developments you had no idea were happening.
And also:
Marathon-length dramatic history reading with a beat-for-beat breakdown of events as they occurred.
There’s also: Computer nerds talk about the most inane software topics imaginable.
And: AI bros who used to be Crypto bros talk about their latest scam.
I mean there's also fiction storytelling and radio plays, which is about the only kind of podcast I listen to besides Cautionary Tales.
My favorite type of podcast is Learn About A Weird Thing, which isn't on this list. Stuff You Should Know is a good one. Word up, Josh & Chuck.
