Okay, I know there are a million podcasts out there, and I listen to several to pass the time at work. What are your favorite podcasts? What should we be listening to?
My current faves:
True Crime Garage - (what it says on the tin; I love the hosts)
You’re Wrong About - (debunking historical myths)
Richmond Til We Die - (Ted Lasso discussion)
The Two Robbies - (EPL / Champions League football talk)
StarTalk - (Neil deGrasse Tyson’s show)
Rotten Tomatoes Is Wrong - (movie reviews)
The only podcasts you need are:

I used to listen to a number of them, but they’ve dropped off for me these days. I did really like Someone Knows Something, a Canadian investigative crime podcast. I do still check in on the follow-up series, The Next Call.
If you like “You’re Wrong About,” you’d probably dig “American Hysteria.” The 2-parter with Chris Gethard about dangerous amusement attractions would probably be a good intro!
The Bugle Audio newspaper for a visual world. Hosted by Satirist-For-Hire Andy Zaltzman with guest comedians from around the globe.
I don’t listen to many podcasts, but I do like the Fall of Civilizations Podcast which does some real deep dives into history.
I could never get into podcasts. Anytime I try to listen to one it devolves into noise. I have the same issue with radio plays.
I didn’t until the pandemic. Then I was working at home alongside my roommate, who is a hardcore podcast listener. With my agreement, she would play her podcasts out loud and I got used to it and learned how to “tune in.” I can only really do them when I’m doing rote work, though – any time I really have to concentrate, I find I’m not listening anymore and that’s when I swap over to random music or ambience background noise.
I’ve been paying for Bill Corbett’s Ringheads podcast, but I’ve only listened to a few episodes and I waaaaay behind.
The Trailer Park Boys ‘Park After Dark’ (formerly the ‘Podca$h’) the audio version is free weekly.
Must give a shout-out to our own kin at @ItsJustAShow .
Sure, we don’t agree on ALL fandom points, but that’s what makes it interesting, eh? 
(Also certain political podcasts which help further cement my reputation as Smelly Hippie. “You can’t own property, Maaaaannnn !!”)
I listen to a lot of podcasts, but here’s the ones I never miss:
Maintenance Phase (debunking diet culture)
Savage Lovecast (sex advice)
420 Day Fiance (two stoned comedians recap the 90 Day Fiance franchise)
Life After MLM (anti-MLM podcast where people who used to be in MLMs or otherwise have a connection with people who are in MLMs are interviewed)
I love his column; is he as fun to listen to as to read?
Definitely!

Messrs Jnelson and Clastowka discuss books they don’t expect to enjoy…
I don’t listen to many podcasts. But I might have to start listening to this one:
Oh, it can get very deep into the scientific details, but “Found My Fitness” is genuinely good health information. A lot on intermittent fasting, saunas, and here’s the latest on cold-water immersion.
I really love the Twenty Percent True podcast.
And I still can’t get enough of RadioLab.
