What are your favorite podcasts?
I’m considering putting my toe a little deeper into the 21st century as I keep hearing people recommending podcasts. Pretty sure I can figure out how to access these magical things with help from real-life persons, but I’d love to know which ones the people here think are worth listening to, do you have a subscription, all those questions!
Thanks!

I have been listening to the twice weekly WTF podcast since 2010. Marc Maron has conversations with comedians, actors, musicians, artists. His most widely listened to podcast was a conversation with President Obama.
I listen to the Writer’s Almanac every morning as I walk to work Garrison Keillor tells a bit of literary trivia followed by a poem, they are 5½ minutes long.
And I like Stuff You Missed in History Class, and History Extra.
The New Yorker Radio Hour is a nice mix of literary discussions, politics, and humor.
A fun one is Ask Me Another, which is a replay of an NPR radio game show that is based on puzzles and wordplay.
And my newest delight is Sawbones, a bit of a look into the weird things of medical history.
I listen to quite a few as I walk (I walk a lot) and also as I drive, which includes two 40 minute drives every week.
Serial (I’ve only listened to season 1)
S-Town (not done with the season yet, but it’s great so far)
Thanks, people, I’ll look into these!
NPR Only a Game
KCRW Left, Right, and Center
The Show About Science
The Infinite Monkey Cage
Scott Sigler Audiobooks
Escape Pod
For starters
I love Invisibilia, Reply All, and Planet Money!
