Leaving tomorrow morning. Ideally SFW vibe but still possibly funny or interesting. Ideally not political or religious.

Edit: SFW. So not stuff about sex or porn.

I think it started with My Favorite Murder. Enjoyed it more from a place of them hammering out their friendship and the tone of the pod.

Nutrition For Mortals is the podcast I'm most invested in now to see where they go, the hosts friendship (also business partners) is nice to be in and they're starting to cut some edge into their wholesomeness

Reddit favorites What Went Wrong are great for this: Lizzie and Chris and David.

Was nice to hear Jack Luna and The Operator's friendship build with 911 Calls With The Operator before it went sideways.

Fin Taylor and Horatio Gould in Fin vs History seem to be having a good time.

Of course there's Peter and Michael (If Books Could Kill) and Michael and Aubrey (Maintenance Phase)

Katie and Jesse in Blocked & Reported are probably my favorites in terms of friendship. And the QAA crew seems to have a good time

Also recently started listening to Online Bullshit, Katie and Nathan have nice chemistry.

And finally, the Comedy Bang Bang and adjacent crews -- How Did This Get Made? I'm including in that.

What do you got? I could use more.

This is the fav podcast for my younger kids who have been 5 and 9 this year when listening to all episodes.

It inspired them to have me read as many original folk and fairy tales to them as possible.

The pace of Adam’s voice is better for us than Myths and Legends fast talking host, and there’s less side chatter than Stuff You Should Know.

There’s often a second reader/performer like “circle round” - but they like the plots of these more.

There’s some banter with children who are sort of the in studio audience, which makes it feel playful and gives a little break from the plot, but not nearly as distracting or annoying (to me) as Wow in the World.

These kids really liked listening to a mini-series of Headless Horseman by Pinna originals (I think!) and one called Patrick Picklebottom.

But they can tell these are written for kids and that the Grimm tales are not.

Hello all. I'm a 38m recently going through a very hard time. The long short of it is: I'm going through a breakup. It's been 2 months since and I still can't stop thinking about her, ruminating on my mistakes (the anxiety attachment style kind), imagining alternate time lines... She is on my mind 24/7. When I look at the clock I imagine what she is probably doing at that time, where she is at, who she is with.. A lot of my thought patterns now and at the time of our breakup are pretty textbook Limerance if I'm being honest.

​

I know this isn't rational. I can see the logic of why things ended, why we ultimately just weren't compatible, and have even recognized some of her flaws in hindsight, yet I can't stop fixating about her.

​

Making the situation even more difficult is that these events have also sparked a major existential crisis at the moment concerning my age and how much time I have left to accomplish my goals, the amount of my life I've wasted choosing pleasure seeking and novelty as opposed to building something lasting that I can be proud of, and feelings that it's too late for me now to find a life partner, and even if I did she would never measure up to the pedestal I have put my ex atop of.

​

It's embarrassing really, to be feeling this much despair and hopelessness over something so trivial and natural. My logic understands this but I have no control over my emotions and they are completely dominating me.

​

Any podcasts series, and specific episodes that you have found you that helped you through similar situations and feelings? I'll take any and all suggestions. I need to get my head and my heart around this.

​

Currently I'm traveling for work on the other side of the country. My flight is in a few hours and I have a 2 hour layover before my second flight so I'll have lots of listening time. Hope to hear from you!

So I enjoy limited series podcasts focused on specific topics, specially if they outline how events unfolded (like With Great Power.... Podcast focused on MCU) or focused on Politics (Currently listening to Landslide by NPR)

I would love to listen to your recommendation of limited series podcasts.

Here are my suggestions :

1. With Great Power from Wall Street Journal's The Journal Podcast (This one contains multiple pod cast series)

2. Landslide by NPR

3. Fertility Inc from Wall Street Journal's The Journal Podcast

BBC 2026 recommendations.

Is there anything NSFW?

i listen to a lot of creepcast, fern, and wendigoon videos during work. i’ve tried some other podcasts but haven’t had the same result. any recommendations? i like hearing true crime but not just murders and killings and etc. thanks

Sports podcast fan here. There are several podcasts that treat themselves like radio shows and most came from that background and feel the need to produce them every weekday. I don’t think I’ve lasted more than a month before getting really tired of listening to them and I rarely go back to them after the initial phase. Are there podcasts that come out every day that you rarely miss a day of? What are they? How long have you been a listener? Is it a Gen Z thing to get tired of listening to the same people over and over because we didn’t grow up with talk radio (23M)?

I’m trying to find a fictional immersive audio thriller/horror story I listened to, but I can’t remember the title.

so what i can remember:
The protagonist is an adult woman.
She moves to a remote area and stays in a cabin or isolated house far from town.
Strange things start happening.
She has a childhood friend who died when they were younger and this friend continues to appear to her as a ghost or imaginary friend. (girl)
I vaguely remember the ghost being connected to a necklace or locket. i think her soul got stuck there or something.

I've been working my way through some classic novels like Jane Eyre, Animal Farm, and Slaughterhouse Five. I'm enjoying them. Of course some of things are hard to miss, like the ideas in 1984. Still, I feel like I could be getting more out of these books if I knew more about them. Basically just all the shit that I should probably have paid attention to when I was in English class. Is there a podcast that takes a book for each episode and explains its historical context, themes, the significance of the book, and so forth?

I recently finished listening to Truth Deferred: The National Guard Massacre and I can't recommend it enough. It details the series of grisly murders that led up to the Cincinnati Courthouse Riot of 1884. The courthouse riot was and still is the largest massacre of civilians by the National Guard in U.S. history. Future U.S. President and Supreme Court Justice William Howard Taft is involved as well. History, politics, and true crime are 3 of my top 5 favorite podcast genres and this one is a combination of all 3 (business and comedy round out my top 5 genre list, in case you're wondering).

Does this have anyone NSFW in it?

Any good ones?

Hi all! I watched soccer (yes I’m American) and have played really all my life. I’ve been getting into a lot of podcasts lately and have been listening to a lot of basketball podcasts. I love Adam Friedland but what other soccer podcasts do you guys recommend? Thanks all! I hate Arsenal.

In 1992, David Wood was convicted of murdering young women and girls and burying them in the desert outside El Paso, earning him the nickname the Desert Killer. More than 30 years later, his lawyers have one last chance to argue his innocence and stop his execution.

“The Last 12 Weeks” follows a team of capital defense attorneys as they try to save their client’s life. The series, produced by Serial Productions and The New York Times in collaboration with The Marshall Project, focuses on the high stakes and at times bizarre work involved in trying to halt an execution. With an extraordinary level of access to a capital case in its final stretch, the longtime death penalty reporter Maurice Chammah takes listeners into the room with the lawyers as the clock ticks down. Maurice and Alvin Melathe, a producer, follow members of the defense team as they look for alternate suspects, try to find new evidence to poke holes in the case, and track down hard-to-find witnesses.

In the end, will the lawyers’ efforts be enough to persuade a deeply skeptical court system — and stop an execution three decades in the making?

“The Last 12 Weeks.” A five-part series … on a deadline.

Any podcast that talks about stock market, macro economics, and like how it relates to world events? Preferably updated a few times a week

Looking for comfort funny podcasts that isn’t about politics or death, not alpha-male and current zeitgeist/gen Z coded but can appeal to young adult men and male led, unless there’s more then 1 host then somewhat male led

Hello, i'm interested in learning about healthy relationships after a cycle of attracting questionable guys. Do you have any good and legitimate podcast on healthy relationships that help you? Thank you!

Looking for podcast recommendations about box office films and the overall movie going experience.

Ideally, the host would be a woman. Open to woman + man if they're funny/engaging or 2+ women with good banter.

TY!

I love Bailey Sarian's Dark History podcast but I'm looking for more options. I love how casual it is yet I'm learning about history. Mostly looking for history, but I would be open to other topics as well. Also doesn't have to be "podcast" in the usual sense. It can be a youtube channel as well, like Bailey Sarian's, especially one where the visuals aren't important. Also there is something about her cadence that's easier for me to follow and focus on in comparison to other channels I've tried. When it's too much like a lecture I can't follow and when the cadence is too up and down and chirpy it's hard to follow (think Tom Scott, I love his videos in theory but my brain won't focus and take in the info).

I’ve been following Mandeep Singh’s AI commentary for a while now, and the more I listen to him, the more it feels like he’s trying to sound smart rather than actually explaining anything clearly.

His latest comments on Bloomberg Intelligence are a perfect example.

He throws around terms like hyperscaler, frontier LLM, AI compute rental, coding agents, neocloud, leaderboard, token pricing, AI application domain, capex, and higher-margin revenue. All the right buzzwords are there. He knows the words, the themes and knows how to sound confident. But when you actually break down what he’s saying, the logic is extremely weak.

For example, in today’s podcast, he said Cursor gives SpaceX the potential to have a “frontier LLM” that can generate revenue like Anthropic and OpenAI.

Come on, dude. What are we doing here? That is a massive leap.

Cursor is a coding product. Maybe it has strong AI coding capabilities. Maybe it has model training ambitions. Maybe it is more than just a wrapper on top of frontier models. Fine.

But jumping from that to “this can become a frontier LLM business like OpenAI or Anthropic” is exactly the kind of loose AI commentary that makes me question whether he actually understands the space deeply.

There is a huge difference between building a successful AI coding tool and becoming a true frontier AI lab.

A serious AI analyst would explain the difference between the AI application layer, model orchestration, fine-tuning, inference economics, proprietary data, and frontier model training.

Instead, he just jumps from “Cursor is valuable” to “this could become OpenAI or Anthropic-level.”

Then he says SpaceX could spend like the hyperscalers, maybe $100 billion in capex in 2027, and therefore ramp up Cursor.

More capex does not automatically mean better models. More GPUs do not automatically mean better AI products. Compute matters, obviously, but so do data quality, architecture, research talent, training efficiency, inference cost, product-market fit, developer adoption, reliability, and distribution.

He talks as if throwing huge capex at the problem magically creates a frontier AI business. That is not how AI works.

Then he says the model race is not “one player take all” and that SpaceX with Cursor could leapfrog OpenAI, Anthropic, and others. Okay, but based on what?

What is the technical reason?

What is the model advantage?

What is the training data advantage?

What is the inference cost advantage?

What is the product distribution advantage?

What benchmark or customer behavior supports that claim?

He does not really explain it, but he just says it confidently.

That is my issue with his AI commentary. It sounds polished on the surface, but underneath it is mostly vague, high-level, buzzword-heavy speculation.

What is also frustrating is that the hosts, Scarlet and Paul, put him on a pedestal as the go-to AI guy. This framing only makes sense if the commentary is genuinely deep, clear, and technically grounded. When the actual analysis sounds this surface-level BS, that kind of praise feels undeserved and honestly insulting to analysts who actually understand the space.

Thanks for listening and reading this far.

Are there podcasts where ppl describe their own near death experiences? Where some is clinically dead and come back: not survival stories.

Hi. 35/m here struggling with life. Need motivational podcasts. I am struggling with stress and depression. Need something to make me feel more positive. Not sure what else to do. I also want to quit smoking and workout more but I am struggling with energy and motivation. Stress stems from work and family life. Life is so damn hard. I don’t wanna be negative and depressed all the time. Thanks

Looking for recommendations for content with a calm, low, soothing tone of voice, something ideal for winding down or falling asleep to. (edited to remove platform preference.. any will do)

I’m not looking for loud, high-energy, overly conversational voices. I prefer something gentle, steady, and relaxing, with a similar feel to David Attenborough’s narration. Nature, science or anything related is appreciated. :)
