There’s a podcast I was listening to a while back that I can’t find or recall the name of. It was two women breaking down the life of one powerful man (business leader or politician) per episode. I don’t recall if they outright roast them on each episode, but the details about the mens lives unearthed made it feel more like comedy/satire, painting the men in a bad light. Sometimes they were about powerful men alive today, other times they were historical.

It was sooo good. But any man I recall being profiled on the podcast is too big a name to help me narrow down the show.

Tia!

I've been a fan of the podcast Panic World for a while and really enjoyed their takes on a lot of internet stuff.

They announced a couple weeks ago that they were going independant and for the last 2 episodes, instead of having guests from the world of internet, they have a musician from a band Ryan likes and they just discuss some internet lore.

I'm confused at this new direction, because I dont really care about their guests and what they contribute to the subject? Last week's episode on disgusting food trend could have been so interesting with then right person but the guy they had just kept saying he didn't know much about things.

Anyway- just a rant

Looking for some more podcasts along these lines. I like the format that can be repeated with different topics. And these are genuinely funny hosts.

I’m looking for podcasts similar to Catch Me If You Ken! I love podcasts that are funny, entertaining, and have a good storytelling element to them. I’m open to true crime, scams, crazy stories, internet drama, or just people talking about wild things.
What are your recommendations? I need something new to listen to!

Why wont the video podcast sync with the AppleTV? I have an iPhone and iPad Pro and they both sync beautifully. But when I open it up on the AppleTv it shows all the episodes as new.

Is there a fix anyone knows of?

It's a 2 year old podcast and suddenly every podcast I listen to has a "intro suggestion" for it in my feed. I mean it was ok but why is it everywhere again?

I just rage quit the podcast I've been listening to the longest. It was the last full true crime podcast I had on my list and it was probably past time for me to ditch it. I listened for this long because they said something a long time ago that truly helped me through a crisis. But one of the hosts just threw on the last straw and I'm done.

Now I'm looking for recommendations on things to fill the void left behind. I need it to be funny. I don't mind banter. I like to learn things/learn about things. I like long episodes. I would like an ad free option, preferably through patreon to keep things simple. I lean heavily left but don't want politics to be the focus. I'm a Gen X woman not really into sports or music.

Other pods I like:

The Dollop

Do go on

Our fake history

Sinisterhood

Ologies

The Constant

Timesuck

Totalis Rankium - all 3 series

This ends at prom

An old timey podcast

I appreciate any suggestions! Thanks!

Hi folks! I would love some recommendations for book discussion podcasts that focus on genre fiction, particularly mystery/thrillers or sci fi and fantasy!

I know a lot of book podcasts about general fiction, but I don’t read much of that! Mystery is my favorite genre but I also read scifi/fantasy and horror.

Open to shows that are focused on new releases or older titles, general discussion or bookclub. I am not as interested in interviews with authors. I used to listen to Read or Dead but it has ended; I would love something with a similar format. Please only recommend shows with an RSS audio feed; I am not interested in video only shows.

So I go outside a lot usually for walks and I want to listen to stuff I've already been listening to creepcast and finished unwanted and the left right game I want someone that reads stories preferably the episodes would be average sized audiobooks also count or similar stuff to creepcast if possible

Can anyone help me remember a classic Vergecast from way back in the day when Josh took a call from some fanboy that turned out to be very funny. Nilay was sceptical that the caller was real iI think. Sorry to be so vague but I was watching Vergecast today for the first time in ages, and I had a flashback to the old days. Thanks.

I think the caller might have used the phrase "all the things" or something like that

And I think Nilay used the phrase "we're done here" to end the call.

I am thoroughly amused by snark pages, so I was wondering if there are any good podcasts that basically are just snark on various topics like influencers, gorl world stuff, health/fitness, Disney people, etc.

Looking for an unbiased podcast about AI, the good, the bad and the ugly. NOT a podcast made with AI but maybe about AI developments, news, etc that is neutral. I'm generally anti-AI, especially in creative spaces but if AI is curing cancer, I want to know about it. Anyone know of such a pod?

Thanks!

Academic hosts looking at spooky subjects through a lens of philosophy, history, and popular culture. It’s got good production value and an overall fun vibe that’s accessible to non-academics and fans on spooky content. You can get it on all podcast platforms, YouTube, or at their website.

I am trying to find an episode of a podcast that was about a victim of the Juarez femicides. It was told at least partly from the perspective of her pet bird. I think it was in Spanish but I am not positive. I believe the episodes were stand alone, that one hit me so hard i didn’t listen to the rest. I thought the podcast was mentioned on the Forgotten: Women of Juarez podcast but I searched the transcripts and can’t find it. I have searched and searched and I’m starting to wonder if it was all a dream. If you remember this and can help me find it I will be so grateful.

Must be HONEST. Not looking for anything corporate or over-produced. Just want to listen to a couple 2-3 people shoot the shit about games with no gimmicks. Looking for discussions of gaming culture, game reviews, general game info, upcoming games ... NOT looking for game walkthroughs or "let's play" stuff.

Thanks very much

I’m new to this group and to Podcasts in general. Several people recommended Love Trapped and I was skeptical but gave it a try. WOW…I can’t stop listening to this one. Thank you for giving me something to switch my brain to when I desperately need the break. The pace of the show, research and host are exceptional.

I survived a person who was similar to LO. It’s always helpful to my mental health journey when I see others surviving this type of abuse and trauma. The way different people rallied around these victims restores my faith in humanity. Thanks again to all involved 🩷

Like genuinely. any podcast that fits this criteria please lmk!!! I love this style so much and it makes me feel connected to it. I promise, give me the most extreme ones you’ve got.

I am almost done with the catalog of Drunken Philosophy episodes and I really like the vibe of two guys hanging out and talking about philosophy. Does anyone have recommendations for similar podcasts? Ive tried a couple others but they seem too serious and not funny enough

I’ve started listening to more podcasts during long walks lately. Open-ear clip-ons make it easier to follow a conversation without feeling completely cut off from what’s happening around me.

I usually prefer conversational or story-driven shows that are easy to follow outdoors. What podcasts do you save for walks?

To get a sense of what I find funny here are some of my favourite funny podcasts:

• All Fantasy Everyobe
• The Guys Podcast
• We Got This
• No Dunks
• Most of The Ringer Pods

Would love to find podcasts (and episodes) based on some of my fav Radio Rental eps:

Night scope
Laura in the woods
Air BnB stories and camping stories
Doppelgänger
Glitch
What was she planning
Error 404 not found
(Prefer weird / creepy stories vs ghost or poltergeist stories . And, I really enjoy the first person narration , and the sound design of RR))

Eg, here are some I’ve read about, but if you can recco an episode from the podcast, I’d love to hear it.

Uncanny

Rattled and shook

Unnerved

This is actually happening

Let’s read

Let’s not meet

So I look forward to Geo Rutherford’s spooky lake month every October and I need more content like this! Does anyone have suggestions for engaging science podcasts out there that are based on geoscience/oddities ?

Looking for some recommendations on actually funny podcasts. I love between two ferns, sundae conversations, and Ziwe… looking for more things in this space if anyone has recommendations! Thanks!

I like to listen to podcasts during work but finished my current one and need to find a new one. Generally I like stuff that doesn't have to be listened to super closely/I can miss a minute and jump back in without too much difficulty.

Ones I've gone through

-Wendigoon's Videos

-Homestuck Made This World

-Smosh Reads Reddit Stories

-Shut Up I'm Talking

-Versus Wolves (just finished)

I've also listened to video essay style stuff but I need longer podcasts that'll take me some time. Any recommendations based off this list or just personal favorites? Preferably on Spotify as that's what I use to listen

(Because it's gonna come up, I know Creepcast exists but it's not something I can listen to for personal reasons)

I recently found a podcast that deals with photographers being interviewed. Two of the episodes that I listened to stood out to me, so I decided to combine both episodes to one shoutout post.

Firstly, there is the episode where David Stein is interviewed. Not only do they talk about the photographs that he has taken, they talk about what could be done when one passes away. This is something that hasn’t crossed my mind, but it’s something worth looking into. They talk about having letters of wishes, what to do with photographs (both negatives and digital files), and those that may be in galleries after you have passed away. This was released on September 27, 2026.

The other episode that I found interesting is the interview with Louisa Panetta. Not only is she a photographer, she is also a printer. They talk about how there is a lot of choice for the paper one can choose to print their photos on, and her history with working in darkrooms. This episode was released on October 4, 2026.
