Serious-Story Telling
Story telling style podcasts, all true.
John Allen (a former navy seal) describes his podcast as a "true crime and mystery podcast that presents strange, dark and mysterious content delivered in story format." And this is exactly what it is. He is a great storyteller, and his stories will ...
MrBallen Podcast: Strange Dark Stories
Riveting, first hand accounts of sometimes disturbing stories and tragedies. The only voice you will hear is that of the person telling their story. You will be on the edge of your seat as people describe what they have gone through in graphic detail...
This Is Actually Happening
Written and hosted by Joe Nocera, The Shrink Next Door is an unbelievable story that you have to listen to. I stumbled upon it and gave it a listen and it was fantastic. It's a podcast, but it's almost like reading a novel that you can't put down. I ...
The Shrink Next Door
Comedy-Story Telling
I am a huge fan of comedy, and this one makes me laugh out loud! It's totally irreverent and politically incorrect, but in a comical way..Follow these 2 comics as they discuss their unusual lifestyles and experiences. NSFW!
#671 Three Blind Mikes
Comedy-Interview/Banter
The best known O.G. of podcasting. There's a reason why he's #1. It's categorized as a comedy but it's so much more. Check out my favorite episodes.
The Joe Rogan Experience
This one might be an acquired taste. I've always enjoyed Bill Maher back to his Politically Incorrect days. I like his style of comedy and his raw banter with his guests. This podcast is better to watch than listen.
Club Random with Bill Maher
I haven't listened to Mark's podcast in a while. There just aren't enough hours in the day or days in the week. But the ones I heard were good. I remember seeing Mark doing comedy in Cambridge in the 90s, so there's a little bit of nostalgia there fo...
WTF with Marc Maron Podcast
Bobby Lee & Andrew Santino's self depracating and sometimes vulnerable humor makes this a great podcast. It's even better when you watch it. Interesting guests, often fellow comedians ripping on eachother.
Bad Friends
Theo Von is genuinely funny. There's nothing fake about him. He is often funny without knowing it. He has interesting guests from all backgrounds and is often himself a guest on others' podcasts.
This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von
True Crime
I know there are a lot of true crime podcasts out there. I've only listened to a handful, but so far this one is my favorite. There isn't any banter. It's a monotone, no-nonsense account of the crimes delivered in a way that I just can't get enough o...
Casefile True Crime
True Crime by The New Yorker. Superbly written, edited and delivered.
In The Dark
True crime investigations that dive deep into the details and history. Relevant parties are interviewed and theories explored. Delivered with calm and insight, long form story telling.
Someone Knows Something
Business
Informative podcasts that add value to your life. Always providing something to learn.
I really enjoy this podcast. Clark delivers very useful and current financial/ business advice. He's friendly and honest and takes questions and criticisms.
The Clark Howard Podcast
Steven is a mild mannered host with very interesting guests, usually experts in their fields. Casual conversations. He asks the questions we would ask.
The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
I like the format of their news programming, direct and no-nonsense. Turn it on and listen while you get ready for your day.
NPR News Now
Mystery
Marissa Jones hosts The Vanished podcast. She takes a deep dive into cold cases where people have vanished unexplainably. There's also a companion Facebook group that you can join and follow along and get updates. Family members, detectives and polic...
The Vanished Podcast
Nick Ryan narrates listeners' stories. Some will give you the chills. Some are jaw dropping. If you're a fan of scary stories, this is a must in your podcast rotation.
Paranormal Mysteries
Science
Very informative podcast. Interesting and relatable topics delivered in a casual, inviting and interesting way. Safe to play around others.
Hidden Brain
Favorite Episodes
This first eposode hooked me. The best episode I.M.O. Podcast put out by The New Yorker. Well investigated, reported and presented. You'll learn every heart breaking detail.
Trailer: Season 1
Love him or hate him. There is a reason why JRE is the number 1 podcast in the world. You don't listen for Joe, but for the varied backgrounds, credentials and experiences of his guests. Always on my radar.
#2219 - Donald Trump
The Diary of a CEO is another great podcast. Stephen Bartlett is the host, a very mild mannered, gentleman. I tagged this episode in particular, because I thought it was fascinating and very relevant. He has a whole slew of different and fascinating ...
