Behind the Bastards - Some of you Interesting Things Explained Well fans might like this. Each episode focuses on a person or group that's despicable - like King Leopold of Belgium or the Payday Loan Industry.

Bag Man - I didn't know anything about the crimes of former Vice President Spiro Agnew. It's a great story.

Caliphate - Rukmini Callimachi has been a terrific reporter on ISIS and this gives even more depth.

Running from COPS - This American Life played a segment from this show a month or two ago, and then I blew through the season. It's a look at the making of COPS and Live PD.

Uncover Season 1 - I've only listened to Season 1 from this show, which covered the MLM/Sex Cult combo NXIVM. It's a bananas story. I found this podcast thanks to...

The Dream - All about the scams of multilevel marketing companies.

Outside/In - Random stories generally (some loosely) tied to the outside world.

Wow In The World - Science podcast for kids. My kid loves it, and it's pretty funny ("walk,walk,walk,walk,walk,walk,walk.")

Looking for an investigation podcast similar to serial or up and vanished if anyone has any recs.

S-Town was made by the same people as Serial. I enjoyed it more.

If you're interested in witnessing someone literally have a mental breakdown that they managed to document and record as a podcast (because they needed to get the truth out there) then Daily Fantasy Scandal could be interesting to you.

A dfs tout decides to venture off on his own touting/affiliate marketing site and in the process of a normal clerical error, assumes there to be a huge scandal brewing and decides to record the investigation.

It's a deep passage into the mind of someone without any concept of their reality and is a train wreck that you can't stop listening to. I legit thought it was satire for a very long time. It's not.

He has another follow up one where he just complains about his father in laws ex girlfriends... that was a little too slow so gave up on it.

But that one I just shared is a fascinating voyage into the mind of someone experiencing a mental breakdown.

He's actually very well known in the dfs community as well, which makes it all the more surreal.

S town was good. I'll check out the dfs one. Thanks guys!

seconding ****town as pretty good, though i haven't listened to a lot of podcasts outside of serial.

Tony Robbin's podcast (amazing stories there) and Joe Rogan experience.

Shaun Attwood's True Crime Podcast has some insane crime stories

The Asset Podcast - In-depth look at the connection between Trump and Russia. Really recommend it if you have any interest in what's going on even if you think you know all about it anyway.

It's amazing, Trump has literally failed at everything in life except winning the election. It also makes it blatently clear he's guilty of money laundering.

If you're a latenight tv fan, the new Conan w/Letterman podcast is a delight, just like the Colbert ep was. I haven't listened to the Tina Fey one yet, but I'm looking forward to it.

I really liked Conan's interviews with Hader, Sandler, and Carvey - basically any of his SNL connection interviews were hilarious.

had no idea conedawg had a pod, will check it out

Me too.

Once again, it pays to be on Twoplustwo. 😊

There's 40 something and they are great.

Is there a podcast equivalent to sklansky bucks? Heyoooooo.

quoting this to listen to later.

Also not sure if I've mentioned it or not but thanks everyone for the interesting things explained well

I normally cringe at titles like that and would have never given it a second chance of not for the constant praise it gets here

Amazing podcast with literally the perfect mix if information and humor, quite easily the most charismatic host I've ever listened to as well

And... no ads, done anonymously... it's truly amazing

Really good stuff for anyone here who hasn't yet given it a listen

And it doesn't clutter up your feed with weekly episodes, so a new episode feels like a treat.

PSA: New Hardcore History episode just dropped

Supernova in the East part 3

...You're welcome

Is that you Ben?

My brother, My brother, and Me is ****ing awesome.

Conan and Martin Short was awesome. Weird when old comedians I never thought were that funny end up on a podcast and just crush it.

The one with Will Ferrell is now behind a paywall unfortunately

I remember when I was young I thought Conan was hip and cool...back in the day.

he still is

You need to watch his travel videos and the ones where he goes driving around with ice cube

His tinder ones are alright too

Binge Mode is back with the Star Wars universe.

Not being in anyway associated with the franchise, they don't hold back at all.
