Any Interesting (Not Disturbing) Podcasts? (programming.dev)

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?

This Podcast Will Kill You - this podcast is only disturbing if you find medical issues disturbing. Each episode discusses a disease, medical issue or some kind of medical history. I think it's really interesting.

Hidden Brain - goes into a bunch of different topics about how we see and interpret the world. Very well done.

You're Wrong About - talks about popular misconceptions and such.

Science VS - Talks about science stuff in a fun and entertaining way.

People already mentioned Behind the Bastards and I really like that one but it can be hit or miss. Don't start with the newest episode, instead look for one that sounds like an interesting tooic to you and start there. When it's good it's very good.

History of the World in Spy Objects - ok I actually just found this one and haven't had a chance to listen to an episode yet but it looks good and sounds like it might be interesting to you.

Lore - it's very well done about dark historical takes
