Currently working my way through Melvyn Bragg's back catalogue of In Our Time. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qykl/episodes/player

Also from the BBC, the 13 Minutes series (?): https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/w13xttx2

...and The Fall of Civilisations: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/fall-of-civilizations-...

...ocasionally a smattering of Dan Carlin's Hardcore History.

Really curious to see what other people are listening to.

I'm trying to be a bit more "intentional" with my podcasts, especially as its easy to amass a huge list of stuff and then not listen to 95% of them.

Edit: grammar

Revisionist History - The recent Alabama Murders story was a super interesting look into the death penalty.

The Colin & Samir show - interviews with Youtube creators. Recent John Johnson interview about doing stand up comedy for youtube was hilarious.

Lsat 12 months I listened to lots of Peter Attia, for health and aging information but not listening to him anymore because I found the Epstein emails problematic.

Latent Space gets a lot of play from me.

Darknet diaries is always great.

Corecursive, because I'm making it. Working on new episode about social media algorithms.

Good nerd stories, alas it was cancelled, so no new ones:

- Uncharted with Hannah Fry

Some great fiction:

- Achewillow - horror, but not excessively horrible.

- Desert Skies - humor, about folks who work in the first sphere of the afterlife, folks who are recently dead and arrive in Buick Skylarks are equipped with microwaveable burritos and information about the spheres to come.

Fantastic poetry:

- Poetry Unbound

Really fantastic interviews, alas, it's no longer updated:

- Partners by Hriskikesh Hirway

Linguistics and language:

- The Allusionist

Tabletop RPG:

- My First Dungeon

Not particularly 'educational' at all, but "My dad wrote a Porno". Was recommended it by a friend and have been wetting myself laughing on the work commute.

Also "Stuff you should know" is a super popular one that always gets a listen.

My podcast would be a good fit for this audience. Three engineer friends and a rotating guest each pitch a tech product or startup idea that we wished existed, but don't have time to build ourselves. Bicycle Lasertag, Cabinets that _are_ Dishwashers, Planetarium Swimming Pools, etc.
