Huge fan of Avery Trufelman's Articles of Interest ( https://www.radiotopia.fm/podcasts/articles-of-interest ). She used to be a correspondent on 99% Invisible and originally developed the series as a subsection of 99PI. She also briefly worked on a podcast called "Nice Try!" in the same vein: deeply exploring weird facets of the world around us. Articles of Interest does that, but for clothes, and the latest season…

Yes! I love Articles of Interest. I am very much not into fashion, but fashion is also a game you can't not play; the fact that I'm so ignorant of it I think is part of why I really like the historical analysis.

It's great stuff.

Look I deeply love Star Trek, but I also realize that a lot of it is pretty goofy.

My favourite pod in the world is The Greatest Generation: A [comedy] Star Trek podcast by two guys who are a little bit embarrassed to have a Star Trek podcast.

If you like mysteries, The Strait Times did a mini-series on "The Unsolved Mysteries of South East Asia" [0] which were (other than MH 370) totally new to me.

"Arms Control Wonk" [1] has episodes on North Korea missile tests, open source intel methods, etc. which often get simplified by regular press.

The episodic podcast that I was hooked on was “Rachel Maddow Presents: Ultra” [1] about the plot to overthrow the United States government in the 1940s by members of Congress who were white nationalists and Natzi sympathizers.

Well written with lots of source material from news archives and the Library of Congress.
