I’ve been listening to all of Darknet Diaries this year and it’s been amazing. Hoping 2022 will be filled with similar gripping brain food. Happy new year.

#2Have to recommend the podcast from No Agenda. No Agenda, a show where former VJ Adam Curry and columnist John C. Dvorak, two experts from the media industry, have a conversation about politics. Twice a week they deconstruct the news cycle and give insights into the narrative of the mainstream media, political campaigns and the government.

This is not a great. I used to listen to it late 2000s-early 2010s era and honestly it was one of the worst podcasts I have heard when it comes to begging for money. Think the Wikipedia call to donations banner times 20. Whenever there used to be a week where they didn't get as many donation as they expected the hosts (esp Adam) would literally throw a fit on air acting pissy and threatening to quit the show. All the whining about the donations completely turned me off and have never looked back, also not to mention a good 20-30 mins of each episode was a glorified add/call for donations.

#6If you’re into things at the intersection of food, science, and culture I highly recommend Gastropod, https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gastropod/id918896288.
Good production values, the hosts and guests are great, and I love that they’re long enough to really get in depth on whatever subject they’re covering. Big back catalog as well.
Particularly interesting was the recent episodes on edibles, lobster, and smoke, but I can’t think of one that I didn’t enjoy and listen all the way through.

#7I like to listen to Lex Fridman and Joe Rogan when they have guests that I'm interested in. Between the two of them, it's a rare opportunity to see some really interesting people being themselves.

#10“Revolutions” and “The History of Rome” by Mike Duncan. I think I enjoyed Revolutions a little bit more, as it’s more recent history.
Also, “In our time”, which is my go-to for standalone episodes.
