NON-Political Podcast Suggestions (1 Viewer)

[Leonard]

I've got my fill of politics and sports is still not what it once was. Education, humor, whatever - as long as it's not politics. Tell me what you listen to.

Edit: Non US politics is ok I guess as long as it's entertaining. Like most Americans, my non-US global knowledge is lacking.

Art and culture talks are where it’s at for me. I don’t really follow podcasts, only go by what I find on YouTube because I like the added visual aspect.

Quite literally, as I type this I’m watching a discussion between Henry Rollins and Shepard Fairey from a few years ago. Two interesting characters who’s work is often politically informed and have had a huge impact on music/art/culture.

Almost anything of more recent vintage having to do with Rollins is A++ in my book. The guy has such an interesting way of living his life, really inspirational for me

Reply all is a great podcast if you are interested in internet culture and interesting stories related to tech. I might have listened to all of their 150+ podcasts so i can definitely recommend them.

Car Talk is great. I remember it from back in the day. The others looks great too.

Friendly Fire on max fun. Review of mostly randomly selected war films (us and foreign). Has a bank of about 150 eps at this point.

Not overtly political but as you can imagine it comes up during review of war films.

If you haven’t heard the Alex Goldman Reply All podcast about a phone scammer, it’s incredible. Over 2 parts, he plays with the scam caller a bit at first, but it goes SO much further. Highly recommended.
