Any Interesting (Not Disturbing) Podcasts? (programming.dev)

I used to listen to long form essays on Youtube. My favourite ones either break down the history of a conspiracy, teach me something new and cool about the world, or explore a hobby I've never been interested in.

I don't like the ones about killers or heavy drama. I also don't like podcasts that spend half the time reading the latest news from [topic] in verbatim .

What are some podcasts you can recommend me while I chip away at other things?

Behind the Bastards and The Dollop are both a lot of fun as they delve into historical events and figures and do a whole comedic + factual examination in that order

If you want a really good episode for people unfamilar with the series-s, I love

"The Tank Chase" (Dollop)
"Stalin After Dark" (Behind the Bastards), the guest on Stalin episodes is very funny to me

For me the top Dollop episode will always be The Rube.

The baseball ones are ALWAY a roaring good time! My fave baseball one was Lenny Dykstra, lol.

It turns out his ping-pong ball schtick might actually be a legit real thing for focus 😂
