I’m looking to stock up on podcasts, whether in Mandarin, French or English. Don’t worry about my tastes I’ll sort it out later

But share good podcasts in other languages ​​if you know any (it might be useful for other people)

    Darknet diaries is one of my all time favorites.

    If you like music analysis then Strong Songs is also interesting

    And for a non serious listen I like to listen to Sherlock & Co, which is an amazing audioplay where Watson becomes a podcaster to deal with his PTSD. The adventures are self contained, so you can hop on any you like.

      Went looking for Reply All. I found that podcast as my “first” podcast, I’d never gotten into any before. Listened from episode one every day for weeks, and suddenly… They were announcing they were ending… I hadn’t realized they had ended…

      Because they hadn’t yet. I somehow timed my listening of the whole show such that I heard the second or third last episode (where they first announced the ending) on the day it was put out… So I had to wait a week each for the last 2 episodes…

      Great variety of content, despite the tagline…

      I second FoC. I recently started this as kind of ‘podcast to fall asleep to’. I ended up staying up even longer…

    “Ty and That Guy” - Ty Franck (one of the writers of The Expanse books) and Wes Chatham (actor of Amos Burton on the show) talk about sci-fi.

    “SPINES” - supernatural fiction about an amnesiac tracking down broken people with paranormal abilities, written in an audio diary format. It gets a little gay.

    “The White Vault” - supernatural fiction about a multinational team that travels to Svalbard to recover a lost expedition and encounters a monster.

    Chalk Radio from MIT OpenCourseWare

    I really enjoy this podcast. It’s great to hear that the professors at MIT share their passion and expertise with students and the wider world. One of my favorite episodes is Prof. Eric Grimson’s story about making computer science more accessible to everyone. It’s really motivating to think that there are so many talented teachers and resources available, which makes me feel confident and excited to keep learning on my own.

      The Severance podcast is a really great behind the scenes extrapolation of each episode by the cast and crew. I recommend this one too! It’s fun to hear how many of them are fans of the show since most of them had no idea what was going on while filling their portion.

    I see a bunch of other Cool Zone Media shows, but not Molly Conger’s Weird Little Guys.

    Her calm cadence and thorough exploration of specific American wingnuts is fun. And as far as I’ve seen, most of the stories end with the guy dead or in prison, so happy endings.

      I’ve really been enjoying it!

      Almost TOO detailed and well researched, but I think that’s more on me for listening to her masterful work as distraction while doing other things.
