Podcasts - Suggestions?

[gmillerdrake]

Looking for some suggestions for podcasts. I have ‘comedy’ covered I believe…..am looking for some good ones in these categories:

- History
- Philosophy
- Science / Astronomy (universe and stuff like that)
- Theology / Religion


Or…..any others that you all enjoy. Appreciate any suggestions

History - hardcore history with dan carlin

Science - lex friedman

Philosophy - I personally love seminars by Terrence McKenna. He's dead, but they are all online for free

And even though I've kind of lost interest in Joe Rogan, he has almost every single type of guest you can think off. Like you can just look up a neil degrass tyson episode and you will get a science podcast

I don't listen to podcast anymore, but when I used to my go to were Joe Rogan (before all the controversy surrounding him), StarTalk (with Neil Degrasse Tyson) and Planetary Radio (a lot about space exploration, and policies surrounding it).

+1 for Hardcore History.

+1 for Hardcore History.

Yeah…..thanks for this one     Drove to and from KC today (4hrs one way  ) and listened to the one he did on the history of the Atlantic Slave Trade. LOTS to unpack in what I heard but it was very informative.

If you liked that episode, I highly recommend Wrath of the khans and Ghosts of the ostfront.

First one is ghagis khan and the second is the eastern front in WW2. Both are favorite episodes of mine

Not from your list but I love Rocktails. Ahmet Zappa and a few buds pick a music topic,  get drunk and go off the rails. 1 hour that I laugh my ass off.

I've had the Dan Carlin podcast on my list forever, this might be the impetus to finally listen to it. I've heard the WWI is fantastic and want to check that out.

I like the Freakonomics podcast, they often have interesting data driven feedback on a lot of areas you'd find either boring or unrelatable. There was one on food and the science behind making it taste better and what the data showed.

Huberman Lab is a great resource for low/no cost science-based personal improvement/optimization.

I've listened to that one twice over the years. I don't even know if you can call that one a podcast. It's more like 25-30 hours of horror stories. Its amazing.   

He's got another one called The Destroyer of Worlds that's all about the atomic age that's pretty wild.

By no means do I listen to all his interviews, or even most of them, but I really enjoy the interviews Rich Roll does with extreme endurance athletes. He also interviews authors more in line with the subjects you mentioned.

The only other podcasts I listen to are kind of niche for this discussion.

This one I listened to on the history of the slave trade was horrifying.....I'll use the words interesting and informative as well but I don't want that to minimize how haunting it was by any means. Just a lot of information that I had never considered.

I felt that way after going to the National Museum of African American History and Culture in October last year.
