    If you like short and sweet (most eps. 20–30 min) and don’t mind being sad that it’s discontinued:

    A World Without

    Two buddies discuss what a world without a particular thing (one thing per episode) would be like. No color? No chairs? No numbers? They tackle these questions in often unapologetically unscientific, and always creative and hysterical ways.

    • Spout Lore (actual play dungeon world podcast which is an absolute blast of hilarity and wholesomeness)
    • Dungeon and daddies (first season is a masterpiece, after that, your mileage may vary, they are going too often in the “too raunchy” for my taste but there are some good episodes still)
    • Adventure Zones I recently dropped. I basically enjoy only the one off they do in the old West with ghosts and such. The main campaign is subpar since quite some time
    • Not Another D&D podcast, I’m catching up with the first season still, sometimes they go for the “over the top” for no reason but there are some good moments. I absolutely loathe the sponsors they use (like fucking turbotaxes and other exploiting companies)

    I had others but over time the quality dropped unfortunately.

    I used podcast for infotainment and keeping updated with work related stuff as well once, but since the pandemic I don’t commute anymore and the time for podcast is basically just for when I cook or clean.

      Have you tried Tale of the Manticore? Solid solo play, season 1 was great and 2 is solid so far.

    My podcasts fall into two groups:

    Linux/Tech

    • Destination Linux
    • Late Night Linux and its brethren
    • Linux GameCast and its sister show LWDW

    Urbanism

    • The War on Cars
    • The Urbanist Agenda
    • Strong Towns Podcast
    • Upzoned

    They release on almost a daily schedule, so I always have something to listen to.

      I’ve been listening to CogDis since they had something like six episodes. It’s great seeing how far they’ve come.

        I just added Cognitive Dissonance to my podcast feed. Are there any standout episodes that you would recommended grabbing?

        Attempting to ping @Dressedlikeapenguin@lemmy.world so they see this question too. Is that a thing on lemmy?

        BBD cancelation is a huge bummer. I’m still slowly working my way through the back catalog. I have 88 episodes left.

    Currently I really like rest is politics-leading. Interviews with different kinds of people bringing interesting perspectives.

    I’m currently working my way thru prehistory season of Tides of History by Patrick Wyman (Fall of the Roman Empire guy). Came out in 2020, and I’m really enjoying the detail it goes into.
