They walk Among Us is a new Uk true crime podcast which I'm enjoying

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Tim Ferris

Stuff you should know

Freakenomics

 

These three are making my cycling commute an absolute breeze. I forget about times, distances, effort. I just keep my legs moving and listen to the podcast and I 'wake up' at work.

Which Freakonomics ones would you recommend?

Most of them are decent, not on the level of "Stuff you should know though". Specifically, recent ones I liked were:

 

In praise of maintenance

In praise of incrementalism

Trust me

 

Also, TED radio hour is usually pretty great.

Two new ones

 

How we built this:

From NPR, the guys who make stuff you should know I think.

 

StarTalkRadio:

Neil DeGrasse Tysons and friends talk starts and the universe

Just started listening to Last podcast on the Left.  A murder, conspiracy and mystery podcast.  Great subject matter but awful hosts trying to our wacky each other.  I wish I could just find one which spoke about the subject matter without trying to be funny.  Think Serial but with paranormal stuff and mysteries.

NPR do some great stuff.

 

Their coverage of the primaries and US election was excellent.

You Must Remember This by Karina Longworth, if you are into various lesser known, dark and alternative aspects of Hollywood history and film in general. Usually about 10 to 15 episodes grouped in a series dedicated to a particular topic.

 

I've only listened to the Charles Manson's Hollywood series so far, which was very well researched, plus the author knows how to tell a story. I actually found it much more interesting than the massively overhyped Serial.

My favourite podcast currently is Generation Why, two guys who cover mostly murder cases but also occasionally other mysteries and legends.  They're at the other end of the scale from LPOTL (which I also couldn't stick for more than 10 minutes due to the hosts) and I could see some finding them a bit dry, but each episode is always well researched and covered.

I've gone through a good few of You Must Remember This. Quality stuff alright. The Manson ones are excellent. The one on Brando in the 70s and Frank Sinatra's concept album about outer space are great too.

I dont mind the Frank Skinner ones

Can't remember who it was that suggested the Daniel Morgan murder podcasts. Was a really good listen.

 

Was an article on the beeb website yesterday, the woman who used to present crimewatch is married to the bloke that was the copper that was investigating the murder and suspected foul play.

 

The NOTW hacked her and her husbands phones.

Never listened to it (because I don't do podcasts, generally) but I think Jessica Williams is brilliant, so it's likely to be worth a giggle or two.

Infinite Monkey Cage. Bout da universs an ting.

[Stu Monty]

The Bugle is back into a regular schedule now. No longer with John Oliver but it's still pretty high quality.

[Rico1304]

Infinite Monkey Cage is good this week.

[Lee909]

Just downloaded that

[Rico1304]

Athletico Mince is good too.

[Rico1304]

Theres a good Joe Rogan with Dan Carlin from about 2 months ago. They talk for about an hour on American politics and how corrupt it is, fascinating.

[Elite]

Any others like Joe Rogans where they talk about different subjects every week?

The Freakonomics and Stuff younShould Know are good (the recent one on breast feeding was fascinating).

[Elite]

Thanks, I will give it a go.

Just listened to the first Dan Snow history hit.  Very good.

The recent one with Prof Stavrapopioetc on the bible as a historical document is good.
