Hardcore History, Sawbones, Lore, and Criminal are my favorites right now, with Hardcore History being my favorite of thoseGreat OT! I've recently gotten into Podcasts myself, since I need something to listen to at work (and can't really stream music). I'll have to look into some of these suggestions, since I only have 3-4 podcasts right now and need more (that weird news story one seems neat). I'm guessing 10 podcasts per week (depending on how often they update) will fill my work time where I listen, after I catch up on old episodes.
Since I really need a list online of "my podcast status", I'll put it here:
Listening to:
Retronauts (I love old gaming history and stuff)
VGMpire (I also love game music, though I wish they'd talk a little less)
Stuff You Should Know (very interesting, random stuff)
Probably Going to Drop:
The USGamer Podcast (I don't find it all that interesting, and a lot of overlap with Retronauts in terms of hosts)
Dropped:
Axe of the Blood God (I... don't really like Kat Bailey as a host. Nothing against her, just don't like it.)
Going to Try:
Legacy Music Hour
Sowerby & Luff
Turbogame Podcast
Planet Money (NPR podcast about money/economics, seems neat)
Wait Wait Don't Tell Me (NPR Podcast which is a comedy trivia show? Dunno, worth a try)
I'd like to get a current events podcast in my rotation, but I'm not sure which one to try. I also want to work through the others first and see which ones I want to keep on my phone.
Hardcore History has a cool set-up unlike other podcasts. Multi-part discussions on historical periods and they range from 1.5 to 4 hours long. More like audiobooks than podcasts and Dan is such a good storyteller, he brings the history to life. Only downside is that there's a few months between episodes but that's expected due to the depth and length of each episode
