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
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 😂
10 cent beer night does it for me. I also recently relistened the Kissinger episodes (BtB w/ Dollop). That one still slaps and is what crossed me over into The Dollop.
