I've really been getting turned on to podcasts lately, and wondering what everyone's favorite is. Lately my finance and I have been watching a lot of Tigerbelly, Kill Tony, Your Mom's House and Dr. Drew after dark.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!” HST

I really love "Views" by David Dobrik and Jason Nash.
Interesting to hear the weird and wacky things they get up to.

Hmm. It depends. For non-fiction podcasts I love 3 Spooked Girls and stuff like Criminal. Holosky is also kind of fun. If we're talking about fiction podcasts though, I'm particularly attached to Saffron and Peri (examination of fairytale tropes through fairy godmother training. Also a comedy), Dear Murder Street (supernatural mystery set up like a true crime podcast), Welcome to Night Vale and Our Fair City (post-apocalyptic what if about a city run entirely by an insurance company).

TED Talks and Hidden Brain are NPR classics. I love Cults, Conspiracy Theories, and Unexplained Mysteries by Parcast. Welcome to Night Vale is my first and truest podcast love. And for anyone interested in Russian, Russian Made Easy is the best language podcast I've encountered, on par with SwedishPod101.

Oh, it definitely is. I really love how they build the story and manage to even do call backs to stuff mentioned way back in the beginning.

Currently, the "Work in progress podcast" with Andy Mineo. I'm not a huge podcast person, but occasionally I will listen or watch the "Kings dream" podcast with Ruslan.

Just finished listening to Episode 6 of CATCH AND KILL podcast from Ronan Farrow, having previously listened to the Audiobook.
Highly recommended but often painful to listen to victim's experiences and the difficulty revealing them and recovering from the trauma.

Oh, if you like Girl in Space, there's an entire podcast universe surrounding it.

Wow, didn't know that. Any idea of which podcast I should start within that universe aside from Girl in Space? :tiphat:
