For me it’s This Week In Google.
I listen to it every week and between new episodes I listen to the archival episodes I haven’t heard yet.
NoSleep. It’s a great horror podcast
Knowledge Fight. Keeps me up-to-date on the right-wing grifter-sphere. Wacky Wednesday episodes were the best when they’d listen to Project Camelot or Jim Bakker. Equal parts SMH and LOL :) Long live the Bachelor Squatch!
Limetown is one i revisit from time to time. SAYER used to be this, but after they decided to continue the series I kinda lost interest.
- Judge John Hodgeman
- We Got This with Mark and Hal
- My Brother, my Brother, and Me
Have no continuous throughlines and can be listened to in any order. They’re fun to listen to, and nice to have on as background noise.
I’ve re-listened to these several times.
- The Thrilling Adventure Hour is a stage play that lasted 15 years in LA and survives as an occasional road show and live streamed show. They are in the style of old-time radio. My favorite segment is Sparks Nevada: Martial on Mars!
- SPONTANEANATION with Paul F. Tompkins is extremely good improv comedy with many comedians you know or whose voices you’ll recognize. Every episode is different!
- One Shot: Campaign: Star Wars is a tremendously funny and collaboratively-chaotic Star Wars TTRPG actual play.
Technically its an audio drama but I love The Magnus Archives.
The Fall of Civilizations is a banger as well if you like history but I don’t go back and listen to this one
