I'm currently working my way thru prehistory season of Tides of History by Patrick Wyman (Fall of the Roman Empire guy). Came out in 2020, and I'm really enjoying the detail it goes into.

- Levar Burton Reads - good short stories (today "D.P." by Kurt Vonnegut)
- Behind the Bastards this week: Stockton Rush, inventor of the Deathsub
- The Infinite Monkey Cage
- Evil Genius with Russell Kane (BBC) - last week, David Bowie... was he a genius, or simply evil?

- Drama of the Week (BBC) - occasionally brilliant plays.
- Desert Island Disks - Good when doing chores.
The Doughboys - a podcast where they review chain restaurants (fast food to fast casual to high end chains). The hosts (Nick Wiger and Mike Mitchell, comedians) have a love-hate relationship that makes it so fun and real. And their guests are the best.
All of the Rogan comedy circle ones, JRE, Your Mom's house, Two bears One Cave, This past weekend.
Lex Friedman Podcast is great when I'm in a deep think kind of mood.
I found a niche little historical podcast on the American frontier called Furs and Frontiers
Lore and Cabinate of curiosity are always great to fall back in to for a bit.
Man, I feel like JR and Tom Segura are like the Howard Stern of my generation. But somehow less thoughtful, and more edgy. Itβs shock jock radio with lots of laughing at their own βjokes.β
β¦Now I feel bad. Keep enjoying what you enjoy.
Don't feel bad, to each their own. It's not everybody's thing and I get that.
I was too young to really know Howard Stern so never I don't really know him. It comes in waves for me, sometimes if I'm stressed at work I just want to listen to some stupid jackassery on my way home. Then other times I want to learn more or have a more thoughtful podcast.
