I used to listen to long form essays on Youtube. My favourite ones either break down the history of a conspiracy, teach me something new and cool about the world, or explore a hobby I’ve never been interested in.
I don’t like the ones about killers or heavy drama. I also don’t like podcasts that spend half the time reading the latest news from [topic] in verbatim .
What are some podcasts you can recommend me while I chip away at other things?
Darknet Diaries: very interesting podcast about hackers, can have occasionally disturbing content.
Smashing Security: Funny and informative podcast about recent Security and Computer related topics. Can have serious content, but is often presented very lightheartedly.
Fall of civilizations Podcast. Can be a bit of a downer, but is so good presented.
The missing Cryptoqueen. The search for a fraud who run of with billions. Yes, billions.
And for some good entertaining content: some Dungeons & Dragons Podcast:
High Rollers
Critical Role
