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?

      I didn’t think Roman hosted it anymore. Is he still making it?

      Edit: just had a look. I guess he is. I seem to remember a spell where he wasn’t hosting. Am I remembering correctly?

          Though the Articles of Interest spin off from (former) producer Avery Truffleman is also very good.

        They changed owners or something a few years ago, which means Roman Mars got more time to work with actual podcast stuff instead of being a manager.

          I might have to go back and give it a fresh listen. I dropped off years ago when he was deep into running radiotopia.
