Making Sense with Sam Harris
The biggest difference between Joe Rogan and Sam Harris is that Harris ought to know better. Platforming scientific racists like Charles Murry is the opposite of intellectual inquiry.
It’s motherfuckers like him who’ve turned the skeptic community into safe spaces for open bigotry. And worst of all, he’s known to impersonate a philosopher.
The Greatest Generation - Star Trek rewatch podcast. Rekindled my love for the greatest franchise in history. Hosts approach the show from a tv production background
Spout Lore - the best real-play podcast, in my opinion. Dungeon World with incredible world building despite almost everyone being named Greg
Blank Check with Griffin and David - film analysis from the film critic for the Atlantic and Arthur from the Tick / Orko / Watto, covering a director’s entire filmography each series
Marvel by the Month - Reading every Marvel comic, one month at a time. Has a gaggle of comic book industry legends as regular guests, talks about the context in which the comics were written, theme and interstitial music are bangers
- Behing The Bastards - informing, well researched bits of history with hilarious hosts
- The War On Cars - The name is a bit of a joke. Interesting discussions around how our cities are designed.
Last Podcast on the Left - Three guys that covered true crime, the morbid, the crazy and everything in between while cracking dark humor over it all. I used to listen to this heavily from 2017 through 2021. I believe before I just stopped listening. They lost one of their longtime hosts recently to controversy a while back and I haven’t been interested in picking it back up.
The Prancing Pony Podcast - This is an acquired taste because it appeals to fans of Middle-Earth and everything Tolkien. Two hosts offer insight and depth reading of the legendarium, starting from Silmarillion through Hobbit and up to the Lord of the Rings. I think they’re close to wrapping up Return of the King soon. Very informational podcast to get into if you’re a fan of the lore.
Sequelisers - A group of hosts take bad unnecessary sequels to beloved films and attempt to fix them, while offering insight as to why the sequel in question was a bad idea in the first place.
CUPodcast - Again, another acquired taste because this only has a small following and it involves video games. It’s hosted by Pat Contri who is known as PatTheNESPunk on YouTube along with co-host Ian. They basically cover the gossip and general news rounds with gaming.
Tech won’t save us. Great series in my opinion. Great if you want to hear about tech in general and it not always be a good thing.
99 percent invisible - fantastic podcast on a variety of topics. Roman Mars goes into detail about every day things and concepts.
Dungeons and Daddies. DnD podcast. Great for road trips. My wife and I were crying laughing at some parts.
American Hysteria. A look into the real and not so real stories that make America.
