Yup The Bugle is pretty great.

I also really like the BBC news bulletin thing they do every 12 hours. It's a pretty good newspaper front page in audio form

dan carlin has a very entertaining way of talking about things so even if you don't care much about the topic it's fun to listen to

I used to listen to the BBC update a lot before Komla Dumor passed, show just wasn't as fun after him, but a great way to get your world news in.

At the risk of turning the thread weird, gently caress the podcast scene. It was bound to happen eventually but podcast one and their peers moved in and now we have the Nicole paloozi show and the Kathy lee Gifford show and the voice of the honey badger guy show and gently caress podcasting they killed it like they did everything else. It has as much of a scene as the gap outlet near the indian land.

Right now the this American Life people are doing this podcast called 'serial' where they follow a murder in Baltimore. It's not over, and it's pretty interesting.

Wait wait don't tell me owns.

If you like old timey broadcasts, there's something like 40 years of ' The Big Broadcast' an old show on NPR. You can follow the exciting tales, of 'Johnny Dollar, the insurance investigator with the golden expense account.' Action packed I tells ya.

Stuff you should know is p interesting.

If you like X-files, there's a guy that's watching all the episodes and is jabbering about them.

I'm going to nth Hardcore History (check out his archives too, great stuff) and 99% invisible.

Harry potter fanfic that's actually worth a drat. Get into the nitty gritty of science and rationality with a proportionate amount of fan service.

The author is almost done writing it and has recently hid away on a vacation in a cabin that was financed by a fan of the series.

If you enjoy scifi and fantasy and satire and fun then harry potter and the methods of rationality might be for you.

A Life Well Wasted lasted 7 episodes before the guy abandoned it but it's pretty interesting. It's about people who have been involved with videogames in some way beyond just being a player/fan, for example the first episode is all people who worked for EGM talking about their time there, he interviews the desert bus for hope people and also gets Penn Gillette to talk about the desert bus game itself, talks to professors whose research overlaps with video games, etc. The connection to video games and video gaming is pretty tangential a lot of the time, it's really all about the people he interviews, but it's interesting hearing them tell you their stories (also it's cut together well).

indoor kids - video game podcast with kumail nanjiani (silicon valley, meltdown on comedy central) and his wife emily v gordon. it's a video game podcast not by spergs, so a lot of people on here hate it. i recommend the one with tom lennon for a trial. it's a pretty great episode, even if you don't care much about video games (tom lennon doesn't play them anymore).

harmontown - dan harmon narcissistically rambling to a live audience every week. they play dungeons and dragons at the end, for about 1/3 or less of the episode. i don't listen to that part. i recommend starting with the one called 'dan takes a bath'. that was the first one i listened to, and it still hasn't been topped.

Judge John Hodgman. John Hodgman is a fake internet judge, presiding over actual disputes between friends or family members. It's usually hilarious (If you think John Hodgman is funny), and occasionally really heartwarming. Like the one where a father wants his daughter to be more outgoing because she didn't take the opportunity to talk to Eugene Mirman, and then John actually brings Eugene in on the conversation.

Oh No! Ross and Carrie. It's about two people who investigate fringe science, spirituality, and claims of the paranormal. They're both solidly skeptics, and they have a good chemistry on-air talking about their exploits. Weird cults, penis pumps, ghost hunters, juice cleanses.

The Cracked Podcast is usually great, if you're into those dudes.

Freakonomics Radio, Radiolab.

Seconding 99pi and Hardcore History.

Serial is really great, listen to it. There will only be 12 so it's not a huge commitment like some podcasts (no, Pete Holmes, I don't want to listen to you for 6 hours a week).

The X-Files one is the X-Files Files and that is also Kumail Nanjiani who is wonderful. I haven't listened to it yet because I'm going to re-watch the episodes and make a whole big thing of it.

Oh, I like the Cracked podcast, too. I just didn't mention it because that website tends to not be very popular around here, I've found.
I also listen to Unpopular Opinion from that site but I don't know if other people would think it's any good. It's pretty much just Adam Tod Brown talking about his opinions and how everyone who disagrees with him is wrong, and he has guests on.
