        You know who else could benefit from listening to Behind the Bastards.

        The products and services that support this comment.

        Actually, nevermind, that would be too good of an ad transition.

          Besides, they’re all busy on the island where censored hunts children for sport.

      +1 for Behind the Bastards. Robert Evans might be one of the few leftists around these days that I can tolerate to listen to for more than 5 minutes.

      I tried it but wound up feeling the same way I do about the many nazi shows they used to play on History channel. I understand we should be wary of the villains of our past, but devoting hours of time laughing and talking about them seems disingenuous to the many many others who suffered from their actions.

    My three favorite podcasts gotta be,

    1. Behind the Bastards - They basically pick a “bastard” from history talk about them.
    2. Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History - Explainers about interesting (and often, grim) historical events in great detail.
    3. A Podcast of Unnecessary Detail - Three fellow nerds talk about nerd stuff.

    The Dollap - comedic American history podcast

    Behind the Bastards - Robert Evans’ exposes some real rotten people with guests

    Bill Burr - I just really like his weekly podcast even though I have no interest in sports

    Knowledge Fight - this has been a hilarious/scary journey of 2 dudes reviewing Alex Jones Infowars since 2016

    I never see this mentioned but Darknet Diaries is actually a really informative and entertaining podcast about hacking, the dark web, physical penetration testing (gone wrong), nation-state cyber attacks.

      I think 5-4 is the best legal podcast out there. It’s refreshing to hear legal takes from a leftist perspective by people that know what their talking about. It helped keep me sane in law school.

      Climate Denier’s Playbook is great. After enjoying Rollie’s YouTube stuff for so long it’s nice to see it translates well with bouncing off someone instead of just monologuing.

    DarknetDiaries

    It’s the podcast I’m listening to right now. If you’re interested in It you have to listen to it. The storytelling is just soo good. I really recommend the Episodes “Xbox Underground” and “Operation Bayonet”

    Most episodes aren’t actually about the dark Web and are instead about Cybersecurity.

      It’s actually a podcast about leftist takes on the news, and then they go into an engineering disaster after.

      They know the audience is split on the additional content, and they don’t care. Or they do care, and they land on the side of “we’re doing it anyway”.

    I’m a big fan of the following:

    Maintenance Phase: discusses health/diet fads and scams

    You’re Wrong About: debunking the popular (but misinformed) narratives surrounding many well-known events of the past

    Underunderstood: going down the rabbit hole of strange “ungoogle-able” questions (this one really fills the void Reply All left behind)

    Darknet Diaries: super riveting cybersecurity (or just general security) stories

    I haven’t seen anybody else suggest it but “99% invisible” is one of my favorites.

    Some I’ve been listening to lately:

    • Hard Fork - podcast about technology and science from the NYTimes that does a pretty good job of being varied and interesting.
    • Search Engine - newer podcast by PJ Vogt from Reply All about understanding weird or poorly understood topics.
    • Darknet Diaries - IT security stories, hacking, and red vs blue team defense of infrastructure.
    • Behind the Bastards - Stories about terrible people and their effect on society. Start with the Dulles Brothers or Kissinger.
    • Mother Country Radicals - Limited series about key members of the Weather Underground during the civil rights era.

    Lions Led By Donkeys - fun, irreverent military history podcast that is still quite informative

    Hardcore History - more like an audio book that comes out once or twice a year. The WWI series is like 20- something hours BY ITSELF

    Dungeons and Daddies, Behind the Bastards, and the Always Sunny podcast. To a lesser extent, “that happens.”

      Upvote for an actual play to try out. I’ll happily add:

      Redemption (a star wars podcast, just changed their name to smuggler’s blues)

      Friends at the Table, they play different systems and have fun running them. Players are having fun, but it’s not a comedy podcast.

      The Magpies, blades in the dark play. Not humor.

      And Spout Lore, it started off as the GM trying to have a game with depth and it’s a scaffolding held up by dick jokes. (Imagine that however you’d like)

      I am not a D&D a person and my husband very much is. He loves actual play podcasts and desperately wants me to love them too, but I just can’t.

      Dungeons & Daddies is the solution. It’s pure gold. It’s the first and only podcast I’ve ever joined a Patreon for. (I admittedly do also appreciate many parts of The Adventure Zone, but the daddies are comedy start to finish. No weird sappy awkward dramatic improv taking itself too seriously.)

      Love Always Sunny! I just finished all 15 seasons of the show on Disney Plus and am really enjoying the podcast. The Dayman Cometh episode made me so happy.
