A few not yet mentioned:

• Well There’s Your Problem - a podcast about engineering disasters

• The War on Cars - an urbanism-podcast
• The Urbanist Agenda - another urbanism-podcast, by the creator behind Not Just Bikes

And a vote for previously mentioned podcasts:

• 99% Invisible - a podcast about design, arguably my favourite
• Darknet Diaries - a podcast about cybersecurity

The only one I listen to anymore is the WAN show. I just never have time to listen to them anymore so it usually takes 3-4 days to finish it.

Here are some I really enjoy, which I also use to fall asleep to.

• Fall of civilizations - great history show
• Sweet Bobby - Weird and fascinating story
• The Spy Who - Awesome storytelling about different spystories from around the world
• It could happen here - Podcast that tells how a second american civil war could happen
• Decoding the gurus - decoding weirdos like musk, jordan peterson and other scammers

Many good ones on channel zero

Darknet diaries. It’s about anything security, spy, hacking, some networking bots, etc. do NOT need to be a nerd to love it, recent episode was a guy who started tracking stolen bikes and found a crazy web of criminals though patterns.

Very well spoken, very well edited, very easy to listen to, even if you’re technically challenged.

The materialism podcast has stopped, but is absolutely worth listening to the backlog. It’s a material science podcast.

What’s Left of Philosophy? - Good for elevating your philosophy game.

DOS GAME CLUB

Darknet Diaries, it’s about hacking and each episode is a different story and has interviews with people that were involved in information security incidents, either the ones doing the hacking and/or those defending from and responding to attacks
