What podcasts do you listen to? Looking for some informative but entertaining current events ones with good guests.

I'm a big Joe Rogan fan, love the variety of guests and topics. Also a few more specific topic/niche ones.

I really don't like Joe Rogan so we might be coming at this from different angles but my regular listens are:

[b]This American Life[/b] - magazine style documentary series
[b]Reply All[/b] - Similar to This American Life
[b]Revisionist History[/b] - Malcolm Gladwell documentary series (generally quirky subjects)
[b]Richard Herring's Leicester Theatre Podcast[/b] - Talk show (mostly comic)
[b]An Irishman Abroad[/b] - Talk Show (mostly serious)
[b]Ear Hustle[/b] - Stories from the inmates of San Quentin
[b]The Comedian's Comedian[/b] - Talk show specifically about the process and life of comedians
[b]Fighting Talk[/b] - Sports panel show
[b]Adam Buxton[/b] - Talk show (sometimes serious but more often pretty funny)
[b]WTF with Marc Maron[/b] - Talk Show (content varies a fair bit dependent on guests)
[b]The Bugle[/b] - Andy Zaltzman's comic look at the weeks events
[b]Here's the Thing with Alec Baldwin[/b] - Talk show (Bit showbiz but he gets guests that some others don't)
[b]The Beef and Dairy Network[/b] - Surreal comedy about beef and dairy farmers (much funnier than it sounds)
[b]Infinite Monkey Cage[/b] - Science show but kept fairly light

A couple of specials
[b]S-Town[/b] - Brilliant, everyone should listen to this one
[b]The Butterfly Effect[/b] - Jon Ronson's look at the world of digital porn

My main ones are:

Last podcast on the left
Casefile
(I'm a bit of a true crime nerd)
Adam Buxton
Richard herring
Bill burr

There are so many good podcasts now but I only have time for these at the moment

I love Bill burr but he goes on about US sports so much, it's testing sometimes but always funny. I was beside myself when Buxton interviewed burr recently

Buxton is great - he's funny and warm so he's got a big following

Can second a few of the ones above but if you're inclinded towards a being a treacherous enemy of the people the Remainiacs podcast is well worth a listen.

Podcast have come on so much.

The hookit podcast - great mountain bike podcast, with some good guests. (Enjoy this the most)

MTB podcast - done by one of the guys that does trainer road and his mate. Good technical discussion, if a little US centered.

Downtime MTB podcast - similar to hookit.

Non-mountain biking ones.

Myths and Legends. Really high production and good stories.

Plastic weekly - indoors climbing, niche but interesting, US centered.

Case file - one of the better true crime podcasts.

Thinking Allowed - podcast of the radio 4 program.

The Outdoors Station - great UK outdoors podcasts.

Jam Crack Climbing podcast - good UK based climbing.

Enjoy.

SingleTrack should really do a podcast in my mind. Would be great.
