Podcasts recommendations.

I recently finished You Must Remember This | Podcast | Infinite Guest Podcast Network which by chance overlapped with CNN's 45th anniversary of the Manson murders program. (The shananigans that went on in Hollywood - Sheesh). The amount of people that married and remmaried over and over again was crazy.

Anyway, now I am listenting to this series Dan Carlin - Hardcore History Library.

Do any of you have recommendations on podcasts you would like to share? I could use some others to occupy my time and keep me out of trouble.

Some fascinating stuff for sure. I am finding that there are some that allow me to multitask. The Wrath of the Khans is totally different. I find myself rewinding often. There is sooooooooo much information.

Yeah, I find it hard to listen to podcasts, because a lot of my work involves either reading reports or writing reports. It's too much for my brain to handle, haha. :boggled:

Hardcore history is great! I love the Stuff You Should Know and Stuff You Missed in History Class, the Moth Radio Hour podcast, Marc Maron's WTF, Bill Burr's podcast, and some other comedians stuff too. Podcasts keep me sane on the long drives I'm always taking when out shooting

I would like to listen while out shooting, but it could be dangerous. I have to listen for critters especially snakes. I'm still not sure how snakes in Southern California know when to go dormant.

Yeah the only time I listen to them while out shooting is sometimes at night when I'm by myself. Part of me thinks it'd be better to be quiet so I could hear any animals creeping around but the podcasts distract me and give me a little piece of mind hah

Limetown just sucked me right in.. Limetown

If you like X-Files or the Serial podcast, you'll probably fall in love with this one.

Hardcore History is excellent. Probably my favourite. It's worth purchasing the older episodes, especially the Fall of Rome and Wrath of the Khans.

I also like:
99% Invisible
Radiolab
There's a new one called History on Fire I listened to the other day. Really interesting episode about the Iceman. Hopefully that ends up being a good series too.
CBC Ideas can be a good one too

This is a real short podcast--8 part series, with each episode being around 10 minutes. If you're looking for a very short sci-fi podcast, it's pretty good. I've used it as a mini-break between my other podcasts.
