I love podcasts and wish I could list my favorite podcasts, but TBH I literally cannot do that here. Why? Because I really enjoy listening to the wildest, most insanely extremist political podcasts that I can find. All of them are objectionable to many and totally inappropriate to list on this forum. :eek:

I don't AGREE with all of them, or disagree with all of them. I like listening carefully to exactly what they have to say, so that I can nail down (in my own mind) where I stand on what they are saying and what I think about it.

Entertainment for truly aged and nearly brain dead introverts, I suppose.
 
Colorado Public Radio: Colorado Matters
Lance Armstrong: The Forward
 
Fresh Air, radio lab, hidden brain, revisionist history, invisivilla,ear hustle
 
Aside from the usual and popular NPR podcasts, I love Ear Hustle, which has been mentioned several times, and Stacking Benjamins, a personal finance show that cracks me up every time.

Also like the Outside Magazine podcast, one for women called She Explores, a cooking show called Milk Street, and Larry Wilmore Black on the Air.
 
Thanks for sharing! Now I have over a dozen new podcasts to explore!
 
Kermode and Mayo's Film Reviews - two English guys in their 50's I'd say, whose witterings are funny. Lots of ongoing in-jokes, so it might be an acquired taste.
 
Do you remember why Agnew resigned?

DW and I were on a road trip recently and we really enjoyed this podcast. Not only was I too young to have much context back then, but the whole Nixon / Watergate scandal overpowered everything else.

I never realized what Agnew had actually done criminally wrong, how he tried to obstruct justice and his political war on the Press and Justice Department. I'd also never heard his repeated claims that Nixon was trying to have him assassinated. Additionally, I never realized how close he came to becoming president when Nixon was ready to resign.

There are some parallels hinted at to today's situation, but that aside, I found it a fascinating history lesson and a real hole in my understanding of how the whole scandal unfolded.

Freakonomics ...this week the topic was Trader Joe's. Great story.

MarketPlace.

Sometimes I listen to the Dave Ramsey podcast.

Don't know if I got this right word for word.
"Debt is dumb, cash is king, and the paid off mortgage takes the place of the BMW as the status symbol of choice".

It depends on how you listen.
In my case I have about an hour and a half of idle time each day where I do body work to address a structural back problem. I use a laptop equipped with headphones and a wireless mouse so I can manipulate the slider to bypass commercials and long introductions.

A couple favorites not mentioned (the last two can be fairly technical)
If I can find a topic of interest, Sam Harris' command of language/conversation is quite impressive
https://samharris.org/podcast/
Also the Peter Attia Drive podcast

And on exercise physiology, Sigma Nutrition
https://sigmanutrition.com/podcasts/
 
Guess I’m the only one listening to my favs: Casefile, Court Junkie, They Walk Among Us, Doctor Death, Dirty John, and You Must Remember This

There are podcast apps available for all smartphones. I use the standard Apple podcast app that comes with the iPhone.

My current favorite is Everything Happens from Kate Bowler. If you know someone or think you might ever know anyone with a serious illness, this is great stuff. Very informative and also funny. Not dry or stuffy in any way.

I just finished this. Although I lived through it (High School) it was interesting to see more detail. He was pugnacious. I enjoyed it. One of the things holding back impeachment of Nixon was that Agnew would be elevated to President. Once Agnew was out of the way then the pressure was increased on Nixon

And that sounds like a "Deep state" conspiracy. But both of them were crooks
