@dani_p Oh cool. I'd heard of Métis in Space but not Politically Reactive. I'm pop culture-incompetent but can probably handle a little more politics if its filtered through comedians :)
@eskay8 Hari and Kamau are really adorable and funny people and they have such good energy together. They're very good filters, yes <3 <3 <3
@eskay8 Great to hear about non-tech related podcasts, I need that!

Morgan Stanley Ideas Podcast is about business/finance management.
The Changelog goes into Open Source & managing software businesses.
@alain Those sound interesting! I will check them out.
@eskay8 I'm not really into podcasts, but that sounds really interesting.
@q_aurelius It's much more in the "serial audiobook" class of things rather than "radio show via the internet", but the guy has a repetitive cadence to things that makes it easy to listen while doing other things (eg cooking, cleaning, walking) but I find I remember stuff pretty well.
@eskay8 #podcast #recs NPRs Pop Culture Happy Hour (roundtable, generally good discussions), and Code Switch (race and identity), BBC's In Our Time (expert panels on rotating Science, history, art topics), for SFF - Storyological (short stories), Fangirl Happy Hour, Sisterhood of the Traveling Paperbacks, and The Writer and the Critic.
I also dip into Reveal (Investigative Journalism), Dissent (Labor Issues), Nerds of Prey (black women media geeks), and MF Galaxy (black SFF books/music/movies)
@Jsuttonmorse NPR's are great, and IOT is definitely one of my favourites! I will check out the SFF ones as they are all new to me
@Jsuttonmorse @eskay8 Not that I need anymore, but Storyological sounds neat! I listen to most you've just rec'd ✨
@geeceevee @eskay8 Storyological and Flash Forward are two of my favorites these days, and Storyological is reasonably short!
@eskay8 This looks excellent. *bookmarks*

@eskay8 Something True, a history podcast with short episodes, witty writing, and a great narrator.
@eskay8 tales from the static is pretty good. It's this guy talking about a horror anthology series from the 80s that no one else remembers.
I listen to a lot of music podcasts, too.
@eskay8 OMG that is one of my favorite podcasts!!!
@eskay8 I think I've mostly been listening to fiction and/or pop culture podcasts lately. So my go to recs on the fiction front are: Wolf 359, The Message, The Penumbra Podcast, and The Strange Case of the Starship Iris
@eskay8 oooh that sounds amazing. I love me some historical linguistics. Thanks for the tip!
@eskay8 Depends on what you like. Fiction or nonfiction? Produced NPR-style stories or long freewheeling conversations? Comedy? History? News?
There's a big wide world out there. Right now I'm binging Love & Radio, which seems to be monologues of people talking really openly about important events/emotional experiences in their lives.
@eskay8 ahhhhh thank you for this rec! I love Métis in Space and Politically Re-Active—hilarious, political pop-culture podcasts (esp ones featuring Hari Kondabolu, my fake celebrity boyfriend) are up my street.
