Any Interesting (Not Disturbing) Podcasts? (self.asklemmy)

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?

Stuff You Should Know

Seconded. A very chill and entertaining informational podcast that benefits greatly from its conversational style.

And episodes can be about nearly anything. Forgiveness, the Cannonball Run, the Loch Ness monster, the sun, beavers, the Equal Rights Act. They’re all great. I’ve been listening since 2012.

Stuff they don’t want you to know was good years ago. I haven’t listened in a while though.

It's still good as well as Stuff to Blow Your Mind.
