Any Interesting (Not Disturbing) Podcasts?
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?
You're viewing a single thread.
Sawbones "A marital tour of Misguided Medicine" from Justin & Sydney McElroy is a great podcast. each episode dives into the history behind some medical quackery. Funny & Informative, I always learn something and have a good time.
If you like Sawbones you might also like "This podcast will kill you", an epidemiologist and a doctor make cocktails and go into the history and pathophysiology of diseases and conditions throughout human history.
Not as classically funny as the McElroys, but really informative and they do a good job at keeping the "disturbing content" to a minimum even when going into detail on pretty devastating illnesses.
For a much more lightweight podcast "You're Dead to Me" from the writers of Horrible Histories is fun. A historian quizzes comedians on their knowledge of historical events and figures.
I also like "oh no Ross and carrie" -- same network
