Youtube sucks because you cannot turn the phone screen off and listen only the audio. But I use "youtube-dl -x" to extract audio in my home server. I listen many "podcasts" in various languages this way. Joe Rogan is my favourite, best of those should be in Netflix. When properly translated they would have worldwide audience, like the one with Elon Musk.

That's a premium feature. I find it well worth the money, plus no ads. https://www.youtube.com/premium

Does it allow offline audio-only too ?

Ologies with Alie Ward is a personal favourite (Alie interviews a different ologist each week).

Philosophers in Space takes a sci-fi tv show or movie and examines the philosophical ideas behind it.

Download This Show by the ABC (Australia) is a great listen about tech news.

Citation Needed is great but only for those who like their comedy loud and offensive.

Rocket Ranch is NASA's podcast and is nicely geeky.

Also Stephen Fry's Great Leap Years is fascinating and funny.

Apart from that, +1 for Reply All, Darknet Diaries, Hardcore History and Syntax

Planet Money just turned 10 years old and in that time I haven't found a podcast that has been more consistently informative and entertaining. Some recent highlights: - P is for Phosphorus https://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?stor... - How the Social Security Number Became our National Identification https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2018/03/14/593620579/epis... - The Poop Cartel: https://www.npr.…

Another vote for Planet Money as it has been my top podcast! I would note that the indicator is far inferior to Planet Money as it is more the politicaly charged flavor of the show.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> Youtube sucks because you cannot turn the phone screen off and listen only the audio. Oh but you can. I have just tested on android, but if you open YouTube in Chrome and ask for the «Desktop site» in the menu, you can play, turn of the screen (the music stops), you turn the screen on again (without unlocking), and get a little toolbar you can press play to resume playing.

But does it stop streamin video too? I was living in Norway for two months this summer. 3 hours of Joe Roagan would have been 5 euros in roaming costs. Much cheaper is to start "Youtube -x" in my Helsinki server, and repack the audio into low quality 2 mega MP3-file.

Don't know if you know this, but given your example: The MP3s of the Joe Rogan Podcast can be downloaded from his website. Just an FYI.
