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?

Behind the Bastards and The Dollop are both a lot of fun as they delve into historical events and figures and do a whole comedic + factual examination in that order

If you want a really good episode for people unfamilar with the series-s, I love

  • "The Tank Chase" (Dollop)
  • "Stalin After Dark" (Behind the Bastards), the guest on Stalin episodes is very funny to me

I think the best behind the bastards episodes are the ones on Kissinger (6 pqrts) and the ones on the police (also 6 parts). The funnest however I think are on Alex Jones with those guys from the Alex Jones podcast and the ones on Kellogs becquse wtf.
