Hi,

I’m a big fan of podcasts and I’ve been enjoying “Against the Rules” and “Darknet Diaries” lately.

Now, I want to hear your recommendations! What podcasts do you love and why? Let’s build an epic list of must-listen podcasts together.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    Behind the Bastards, a deep dive into the various shit people of history. Episode one is Saddam Hussein: Erotic Novelist.

    There’s nearly 700 episodes, and I’ve yet to run tio a dud. Loads of great guests. My only gripe is that it’s a touch Amerocentric, but other than that I’d recommend it to basically anyone. Not kid friendly, in case that wasn’t obvious.

      I think it’s only fair to add that this podcast has a very left leaning bias. I’m not saying that that is bad, just being objective.

        This is a fair assessment, but I would add that the host mentions that he’s a gun owner with a carry permit, and does from time to time point out the failures of the US political left. There is a bias, but I wouldn’t put him in the realm of Democracy Now!

        That said, some of the episodes are great. I recently listened to the Jack Welch ones and loved them.
