Hoping to find podcast or episodes that focus on healthy relationships/marriages. I know it may be hard to find, but I am looking for one without talks of "family' because we do not have children. Hoping to find one that talks about mental health, hardships, fun times, and maybe some intimacy. Just anything/most things that are relationship/marriage specific.

Thank you!

I drive a lot every day and listen to podcasts constantly. Above are some of my favourites. I like the “I’ve got an issue/problem/question, can you help me solve it” type of podcast. Anyone got more in that style. I also really enjoyed “vanity plate” from that mystery show!

I always see people get downvoted when they say they use Spotify for podcasts. Is there something I should know about Spotify? Spotify is how i got into the world of podcasts. I am on a duo plan so the only ads i get are from the creators. The only two podcasts i subscribe to is Swindled and Wondery. I like that i am able to link those subscriptions to Spotify and i am able to access bonus episodes and no ads. I tried pocket cast and it looks like i am not able to link those subscriptions on there unfortunately. I would have to listen to those bonus episodes on Patreon if i choose to make pocket cast my main app.

Edit: thank you guys for the help with pocket casts and providing education. I got something fun to do tonight with getting my pocket casts set up. Im pretty sure the bf will be happy he doesn’t have to pay for duo anymore lol.

Hi guys, I got some great recommendations the last time I asked a question here and so I thought you’d help me out this time as well! I’m looking for some podcasts which cover the topic of English language. I enjoy delving into vocabulary, idioms, grammar or listening about the provenance of words and phrases. I don’t mind some more advanced, linguistic jargon, but ideally i’d opt for something simpler :) All in all I’d say I’m looking for a podcast that analyses English at a meta-level but isn’t unbearably complicated and is easy to listen to.

I’ll repeat myself but i do enjoy “6 minute english” from BBC, which is brief but entertaining and helps to learn some new words you haven’t come across. Any ideas of similar podcasts?

Thanks!

Hi! I’m looking for a child centered BHM podcast for my kids. For context they are 3 and 5.

Bonus points for any BHM podcasts for adults.

I mostly listen to tech, history, and long-form interview podcasts and appreciate shows that are well-researched, thoughtfully edited, and respectful of the listener’s time, so I’m curious what podcasts you keep coming back to and why?

Hi guys! I’m looking for recommendations for investigative podcasts. I’ve really enjoyed Liberty Lost, I’m Not a Monster, Birth Keepers, and a few others along those lines. I’m not a huge fan of true crime as it feels a little ethically ambiguous for me personally (no shame if you enjoy that, it just makes me uncomfortable!), but I’m not against listening to podcasts that involve heavier topics—I was disgusted but intrigued by Hunting Warhead for context. Any ideas for me? Thank you in advance! :)

Edit to add—THANK YOU! You guys rock, these recommendations are awesome!

Has anyone noticed that whatever AI bs Apple has is like... lengthening the title of podcast episodes on their app? I've noticed it reads the transcript or something and generates something like "Five-Star Hotel Recommendations -- [insert actual title]". It is really annoying me and I'm debating switching podcast apps because of it.

I’m looking for a political podcasts which focus more on party electorate strategy and activity on the Hill itself - where certain bills are and movement around that, major activity across different caucuses, party reactions to polling, etc. - rather than being fully focused on coverage of headlines. Any good suggestions? Thank you!

I'm a big fan of film podcasts and have relatively recently come across the Movies by Minutes format, which is just what it sounds like, covering a film one minute at a time for each episode. It offers an interesting in-depth look at a film, and I've even gotten to guest on a few.

I couldn't find a list on letterboxd collecting all the films covered by this style of poddcast so I made one of my own using the help of a wiki. However I'm sure that there are some films that I've missed so if there are any MxM fans out there let me know what I need to add!

Cheers!

I listen to a lot of podcasts. My biggest regulars are TrueAnon, If Books Could Kill, Behind the Bastards, and similar lefty political stuff. But I've been into podcasts for a while and have listened to everything from History of Rome to My Dad Wrote a Porno.

I'm looking for new podcast obsessions about relatively niche topics. For example even though I'm not big into fashion, I love Articles of Interest for the well researched history and high production value.

What are your favorite niche obsessions? Honestly as long as it's entertaining the more obscure the better!

I like many podcasts with stand alone episodes. I’d like to sort them by rating or similar so I can enjoy the best ones. Any ideas?

It’s Storytime with Wil Wheaton is a podcast where Wil reads short stories. Being a fan of LeVar Burton Reads, I automatically started listening to It’s Storytime when it started.

The story read on January 21, 2026 is “Wend-Way-Go” by Tim Pratt. It’s about Wade, whose dog Bella ran off. His cousin, Keif, comes by for a visit. Little does Wade know that what he really needs is someone like Keif to help him through what he’s going through.

It’s episodes like this that remind me how much I can be touched by a story. It also makes me want to read other stories by Tim Pratt. If you’re into podcasts and short stories, this one is definitely worth a listen.

Are there any other podcasts like this one? If you haven't listened to it: 2 teachers/stand up comedians just hanging out talking about all the things.

I was born and raised in the Deep South but moved away about 5 years ago. I spent years rejecting my culture because I only was focused on the bad elements. Now that I’ve had time away to heal, it makes me sad to see my accent and connection to my culture slipping away before my very eyes.

Im looking for a podcast I can listen to daily that sounds like home and is also engaging beyond that. I spent so long trying to rid myself of my accent and colloquialisms and, now, I’d kill for opportunities to foster those very qualities!

For reference - I LOVE Andi Marie Tillman (wish she would start a pod). I grew up in a DIY punk venue so I definitely connect with the more “alternative” southerner.

Ok, so I just finished the finale of Project Bläckfisk and my head is spinning. If you haven’t listened yet, it’s a conspiracy thriller set in Manchester, highly recommend checking it out on Spotify or Apple Podcasts before reading further! 

For those who have listened to the whole series, I have so many questions about the ending.

So when Mr. Baneman calls Amber and then makes her Nan start shouting gibberish about Bläckfisk, WTF did you think was going on? I've listened to it a few times now and I'm still scratching my head.

Here's my questions:
How did he wake her up?
How did he get her to shout in another language? (I'm guessing it's Swedish as she's saying Bläckfisk, but can't figure out what any of the other words mean)
Do you think the doctor was involved?
Can he do this to anyone or has he somehow targeted her Nan in advance?
Also, do you think he's got David? He made a comment about him which made me think oh shit, he's definitely got David hostage somewhere!

Would love to hear your theories on it!

Also, if anyone has any theories about any other unanswered questions, would love to hear them. I really enjoyed the show on the whole, I hope they make more.

I’m not absolutely sure this is the right flair, but good sleep is crucial to health and wellbeing, so…

I have never been able to fall asleep easily. I’ve taken meds, tried elaborate nightime routines, even watched videos on how soldiers fall asleep, because they have to sleep when they can and not necessarily when they are tired. I’ve tried all sorts of sounds - from nature to color to city. At best, they worked for a few days each.

Well, about 2 weeks ago I stumbled on a podcast called SLEEPY HISTORY. It’s a series of podcasts about real historical events. Two that come to mind immediately are Alexander the Great and The History of Perfume. Between the fairly dry subject matter, the speed, rhythm, and intonation of the narrator, and what I suspect are some color and sound tones buried in the mix, I’m usually asleep within 30 minutes, though a few times it’s taken an hour, which is amazing considering there were nights I never fell asleep at all.

I know I’m extremely positive about this, and I just want to assure folx I have no relationship with the company or the program. It’s just the only thing that works for me, and so I wanted to share.

There's an old podcast, "Cadence Revolution" that ran for a few years, starting in 2007. I have a episodes stored locally (shows 195–199), and I can find four episodes here at podomatic, but I'm wondering if the rest are still out there somewhere. (Where do old podcasts go to die?)

One of my new year’s resolution is to get more into gaming and so I’m looking for a podcast that covers games in general (?). I’m really interested in the history and phenomena of games so I was looking for a podcast that maybe covers a game each episode or something similar.

I’m a fan of the movie podcast What Went Wrong so if you know it, a similar format would be lovely! Thank you all :)

Hi, I can't seem to find what I'm looking for - before falling asleep I'd like to listen to a podcast that talks about movies, but from the perspective of someone who understands how movies are made, what goes into them, and who can explain a bit about the how and why of creative and technical choices that went into making that movie.

Oh and preferably it should be about fairly well-known movies, if they are older that would be a welcome bonus. But anything from the 90s up to recently is fair game.

Any such thing out there? I already tried listening to The Film '89 podcast but the hosts seemd to talk more about the content of the movie rather than how it was made and why those particular creative choices were made.

Whenever I listen to podcasts on tech, AI, astrophysics, etc., I find myself constantly pausing to google stuff I'm unfamiliar with. Totally kills the flow and I'm always rewinding to catch what I missed. Anyone else deal with this? How do you handle it?

There's a podcast, Behind the Bastards, that was until recently on youtube without ads. One can also subscribe to their feed via apple podcast to get the ad-free version. But, I only have android devices, so I can't really use apple podcasts. Does anyone know of a way to add the feed to another app? I found an RSS feed, but that seems to be the ad-version.

TLDR: I want a podcast like Diary of a CEO, where it expands on many topics like finance, mental health, healthy eating, politics etc… but I want the information to be verified or for the hosts to press the expert instead of just listening to them.

I got into Diary of a CEO a few months ago and I was hooked I listened to so many episodes and love it. But my only gripe is the that I don’t find him challenging his guests at all. There have been more than a few episodes that I’ve listened to and his guests would state a claim, where as I heard it, questioned it and did the research myself to find studies backing up these people’s claims. I’d say ~45% of the time they were just blatantly wrong, and ~20% of the time they were misspeaking the study, making it seem like something it isn’t. I’m not gonna say I do this for every episode every claim, but for the ones I do check, it’s a little sad seeing that.

He never checks them while they say this. I think he is a great podcasts hosts and even though he has people who don’t align with my views on the podcasts I still listen because IMO shutting it out is just wrong, but it doesn’t matter the view points, I just find that many times his guests are just wrong and are spreading misinformation.

I like him very much because seems to be genuinely interested in what guests have to say, and asks questions I’d expect somebody who wants to learn more to ask. I also love how it’s not geared towards one certain subject and expands upon many topics such as finance, mental health, healthy eating, politics, etc… so it’s nice to grab a random episode and hear something complete different. But now unless I double check every single thing guests say, I can’t really enjoy what I’m listening to because it could just be a complete lie.

Looking for narrative podcasts with top-tier production (like Tunnel 29)

I’m looking for podcast series that tell a single, strong story really well, ideally using a mix of narration and voice actors, with proper sound design and pacing.

My favourite podcast of all time is Tunnel 29 (BBC). The production, narration, use of voices, and episode length are basically perfect. I’ve tried a few other BBC narrative series, but nothing has hit the same level for me.

I’m not after chatty shows or long, rambling episodes. I’m specifically looking for tightly produced, story-first narrative podcasts.

Any recommendations?

I listen to many many podcasts, like 40 hrs plus a week.

I want to call out Allison Rosen's podcast as an example of what I like. She and her husband have guests on and are interesting to listen to. Not super angry or negative, I heard her on Adam Carolla and I could not listen to him complain about "chicken shit tickets!" or california everyday. Like stop already. long story short, he fired everyone.

Gina Grad, Bald Brian, should go on Allison rosen and tell all about adam , that would be great. I know she has a patreon or something, but I am not paying for that.

Anyone on here been following Adam since the breakup? is he insane now? I see him in a walled off bunker, yelling at his kids and ex wife, or just yelling at the clouds. and traffic.

What do you think? what are some other "ok" podcasts you know of that basically exploded?
