🎧Recommended Podcasts
I love podcasts. Here's some that I'd love to recommend—and by that I mean here's all the ones I regularly listen to for non-hate-listen reasons.
Pinned shows
These are podcasts that I've "pinned" to the top of my list and try to keep up-to-date on and/or finish listening through the archives.
- Twice weekly dissection of recent news of global interest. More of my thoughts on it here.
- The two co-founders of The Pillar chat about the week's Catholic news.
- Discussions on how podcasting is being improved by the Podcast Index.
- What started as a quick discussion show about whether or not certain things are a robot has now broadened to all sorts of other taxonomical questions.
- A brief bio on an Orthodox Saint recognised on the day of release.
- A thrice-weekly rundown of recent tech news.
- Discussions of audio nerdity.
- A Brit and a Yank discuss a Wikipedia article of interest.
- Two Canadian geeks discuss the week's tech headlines.
Drama shows
I keep these separate because I like to listen to them at times that I can devote more attention to them compared to my normal listening.
- A mystery thriller about a vanished research facility and the journalist investigating it.
- An improvised sci-fi comedy show.
- First they play an old mystery/similar show. Then they discuss it, asking if it still works as a story today.
- Community radio broadcasts from a surreal desert town where "every conspiracy theory is true" is what I was told, but I'd say it's better described as a place where everything in Dewey Decimal number 001.9 is real.
Others
These shows are ones that I keep subscribed to and when I'm caught up on the pinned shows above, I will peruse this list for interesting episodes.
- About the creative process behind sci-fi and fantasy storytelling.
- Two people in their 40s (?) talk about things are are, well, A Thing—usually a bit behind the trend but still more with it than I am.

- Long-form content about the heyday of a specific past civilisation and its downfall.
