I’m looking to stock up on podcasts, whether in Mandarin, French or English. Don’t worry about my tastes I’ll sort it out later

But share good podcasts in other languages ​​if you know any (it might be useful for other people)

    Almost Plausible is a show where three friends take ordinary objects (for example, a paperclip, a ceiling fan, or a toilet brush) and create movie plots based on those objects.

    Full disclaimer: This is my podcast.

    The eastern border https://theeasternborder.lv/

    A podcast about history and current events in the post Soviet sphere geared towards a western audience by a Latvian journalist. Unfortunately one current topic dominates for the last 3 years. Please take a guess, which it might be.

    I looked through a number of comments and am surprised not to see Let’s Learn Everything.

    Every two weeks the hosts cover two topics in a lot of depth, anything from quantum mechanics to swear words.

    I don’t listen to podcasts that much, but I am a big fan of the Lingthusiasm podcast. I was actually introduced to it by none other than Tom Scott (although he doesn’t really host it himself).

    Darknet diaries is one of my all time favorites.

    If you like music analysis then Strong Songs is also interesting

    And for a non serious listen I like to listen to Sherlock & Co, which is an amazing audioplay where Watson becomes a podcaster to deal with his PTSD. The adventures are self contained, so you can hop on any you like.

      Second how did this get made, listened to it on the way back from a trip this afternoon. I avoid the “Live!” ones as they are usually very poorly mixed and often the audience gets involved so you just sit and listen to badly mixed laughter for 4 minutes. Go see em live if you want that experience.

        I feel this way about most love recordings of podcasts (or anything for that matter, with the exception of standup comedy) - if I wanted live episodes I’d go see them live.

      Went looking for Reply All. I found that podcast as my “first” podcast, I’d never gotten into any before. Listened from episode one every day for weeks, and suddenly… They were announcing they were ending… I hadn’t realized they had ended…

      Because they hadn’t yet. I somehow timed my listening of the whole show such that I heard the second or third last episode (where they first announced the ending) on the day it was put out… So I had to wait a week each for the last 2 episodes…

      Great variety of content, despite the tagline…

    Lions Led By Donkeys! Weird and usually stupid military history, featuring everything from Roman warfare up to Vietnam.

    I’ll also toss in Well There’s Your Problem. It’s an engineering disasters podcast. With slides (if you’re watching on YouTube).
