I recently started listening to Judge John Hodgman and it's pretty drat funny. It's basically Judge Judy but with a bespectacled nerd as judge. Two people come on with a grievance or argument or whatever and John talks to them to find out details and renders his verdict. It's a lot funnier than it sounds. The only thing I don't like much is the shillery for MaximumFun.org podcasts, which only bothers me since it's usually in the middle of the podcast rather than at the beginning or end so it's more annoying to skip.

If you haven't already you should give some of their other podcasts a listen. My Brother, My Brother, and Me and Throwing Shade are both amazing.

I love history but I'm not much of a scholar. I like the look of Hardcore History but do I need to have a lot of background going in? Is it the best history podcast, or is the one from howstuffworks good too?

No you don't need to know anything going into Hardcore History, you just need a lot of time to burn listening.

Surprised we don't have a Hardcore History thread actually.

The Vergecast always seemed pretty balanced to me. I mean you're not going to find a tech journalist worth a drat who thinks that the iPhone is objectively a bad phone, because it's not, but the Vergecast definitely respects other devices. Hell, I think one of the guys on there still wants Windows Phone to succeed. Of course, it leads to letdowns a lot (one of the guys was super hyped for the Note tablet and then did a scathing review of it on the Verge because it was garbage), but when a good device comes along they definitely give it proper due.

This assuming that you can deal with everyone on it basically never letting one another finish a sentence without interrupting them and Joshua Topolsky screaming over all of them at any given opportunity.

This might be an odd request but are there any podcasts in the style of the old pulpy radio shows?

The Thrilling Adventure Hour is great.
