What's the best podcast you've listened to in the past few months? (I've spent 20 minutes looking for a new one to start while I do the dishes, a chore that takes 10 minutes top.) Thanks!

New Yorker fiction is really good. Listen to the one where Akhil Sharma reads Joyce Carol Oates!

If you're looking for trivial fun, I'd recommend No Such Thing as a Fish. If you're looking for a serious look at American politics and national security, I recommend Lawfare's Rational Security. If you're looking to stay on top of the war in Ukraine, I recommend War on the Rocks.

If you want history/documentary-ish I’d recommend this Australian podcast ‘Stuff The British Stole’ Some more history ones that are very good: - Revolutions (Mike Duncan) - Gone Medieval And BBC Radio 4 has loads of history podcasts also.

If you haven't already done 60 Songs that Explain the 90s by @harvilla.bsky.social, that's my all-time fave. Lawyers, Guns and Money with @mrjoncryer.bsky.social is my fave recent short run podcast. If you like nerdy media analysis, House of R with @jowrotethis.bsky.social is bomb

Thanks! Looking for something different than what I usually listen to, which typically involves tech-focused true crime, wrongful convictions, women's soccer, the Economist, and political crime.

If you have tech focused true crime, I’m interested in your recommendations!
