video gam:

the giant bombcast is consistently very good but its like two to three hours long some weeks.

the giant beastcast (basically the same show from giant bombs east coast office) is ok but dan ryckert is so fucking dumb and obnoxious it makes listening extremely uncomfortable sometimes but everyone else on the show is great.

gayme bar is three old queens complaining about video games

everything else:

sawbones is a show put on by justin mcelroy of my brother my brother and me and his wife sydnee whos an actual real doctor and they talk about medical history. its good. also i could recommend mbmbam here but you already know what mbmbam is and also their last few episodes have been kinda bad

chapo trap house is bad but i listen to it anyway.

important if true is a show i really like thats basically like absurdist commentary on technology and culture in late capitalism???? (thats my description not theirs). probably difficult to start listening to without listening to the earlier episodes but i think theyre all really funny and interesting. they have a video game show called idle thumbs thats basically the same thing but ostensibly about video games

the outline world dispatch is basically some journalists from the outline talking to each other and folks from other outlets about the stories they publish. the episodes are about 10-15 minutes long and usually interesting though they changed producers recently and the quality took a dive but things seem to be improving again???

the orville will be cancelled is basically a recap show of seth mcfarlanes star trek clone "the orville" except the two hosts like star trek and really hate the orville?? its better than it sounds i guess but they havent updated in a while.

citations needed is a politics podcast where the hosts basically recap and explain media bullshit. the name is bad but the show is typically pretty good. kind of on the fence between liberal/socialist but not too socdem but even then its worth listening to.

giving a list of every podcast i listen to makes me feel strangely vulnerable like "heres all my dumb interests and my justifications for them"?? anyway Enjoy

Personally I unsubscribed from a few just because having the need to sort the wheat from the chaff made some podcasts appear lower in my esteem. The biggest problem being that they were too Terminally Online: people from Twitter discussing outrage they learnt about from Twitter. Like discussing the Szechuan sauce debacle as a great moral digressions or James Damore - in other words, issues that were discussed into the death in a few days.
