    Last Podcast on the Left: cryptids, cults, and killers. My go to everyweek they just covered Andrew Cunanan.

    Something Rotten: Jacob Geller and Blake Hester analyze darker video games. I love Jacob’s youtube channel and Blake Hester has some great insights in this series as well. They are currently covering Silent Hill 2 and just had SuperEyePatchWolf guest star.

    I haven’t seen The Always Sunny podcast mentioned yet. If you like IASIP, this is a must listen.

    I’m working my way through the old episodes of Short History Of and The Soundtrack Show. Both are well written and narrated and worth listening to.

    Parenting Hell by a pair of UK comedians, Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe. Started as a lockdown podcast about how hard it is to be a parent during lockdown, but it’s continued ever since. They get a different guest, usually a comedian, in every week to talk about parenting.

    And they’re comedians, so it’s always funny. And totally relatable if you have kids.

    For a more serious podcast, Free Range Humans is a fantastic podcast about effecting change in educational systems.

    I always find myself listening to Distractible on long road trips. The stories are really funny. My top two episodes are Bob’s Fridge and Illegal Advice.

    If you’re into gaming I would suggest

    • NoClip (video game documentarians about modern video games)
    • video game history hour (general video game history done by the video game history foundation)
    • insert credit ( almost game show style, the hosts have only a few minutes to answer all kinds of questions about games, the gaming industry, or even opinions.)

    Otherwise I really enjoy

    • behind the bastards ( kind of like deep dives into shitty people of the world and what makes them tick)
    • cautionary tales ( true stories about disasters, humon error, and catastrophies )
    • 99 percent invisible (weekly episodes on all kinds of deep dives into things that often go without notice in our lives, the most recent episode covers the history of album art for example)

    I’m a history buff, so :

    -The Age of Napoleon: brilliant podcast that covers the entire Napoleonic era from different angles, currently about halfway, one episode per month

    -The history of Rome: finished podcast that goes over every era and emperor in Roman history

        I find them all good, but he does make some episodes about lesser known aspects. He has a series of 4 or 5 episodes where he really takes a deep dive in Haiti and its tumultuous history. This was a french colony at the time and one of Napoleons, if not the most questionable, decisions. He dives into the history of the Haitian resistance, the slavery, the politics, etc … and then ties it in with why Napoleon did what he did (reinstate slavery in Haiti). The guy who makes the podcast is a history student and took such a deep dive in the history of Haiti he is now considered one of the foremost experts in the field, and has been asked to give lectures about it. Fascinating stuff.

        But if you want to know about Napoleons brilliance in battle, the entire Italian campaign is legendary for a reason and the episodes do it justice, while also doing a good job at separating fact from fiction (and in the process explaining the birth pf Napoleons propaganda machine).

        Also the battle of Eylau episode gave me goosebumps. Incredible episode.

      Are there any good podcasts that try to connect the dots regarding the American and French revolutions and related events?

        Good question, but I don’t know the answer. I’m sure there are, but I would guess those will likely be in French.

    “If you’re listening” is anazing, but I have always loved “The Science Show” the best. Both on ABC.

    For non-Aussie podcasts, 99% invisible I guess.

        The latest season of “if you’re listening” is current world events, but I liked the 7th season, especially the second episode on Zelensky. If you’re a yank, going right back to the first season and listening to an Aussie perspective on the Trump thing is likely going to be interesting.

        The Science Show is always good, always current. Just listen to the latest and work your way back, there is always at least one good article in each episode.

        99% invisible has some great episodes. I recently relistened to Deafspace (23 march 2012) and “The Frankfurt Kitchen” is a great one too if you want something more recent. Just impressed Roman Mars can make audio shows about visual design I guess.
