Ok, so i pretty much am constantly listening to something in the bacground, usually a podcast or creeypasta, and yeah its a problem

But while i work on that, i need some podcasts to listen to and i am mostly out of material

My two Criteria are:

  • The format is a conversation between two or more friends
  • its not about tech, enough people recommendation those around here

    I’ve been listening to Shite Talk: An Irish History Podcast (two friends talking a lot of shite, but also learning about Irish history), and have just listened to the first episode of The 2 Johnnies podcast (a pair of Inner city Dublin blokes, not sure what their topics are yet).

    My partner has listened to Tommy, Hector and Laurita.

    Lots of shite talking in all podcasts, which make them fun to listen to.

      Shite Talk songs deadly! I’ve been trying to relearn Irish history for ages but haven’t found the right format yet. I have hopes for this one!

        Gods they are so funny. They get the balance of shite talking and history down pat so you don’t feel like you haven’t learned anything.

        I would also recommend the Blindboy Podcast as well. He does it solo, but he talks about anything and everything. Big mental health advocate so has episodes on that, some history, sometimes just what happened on the day.

          Perfect, just what I want. Learning through entertainment while I hang laundry.

          Blindboy I have a lot of respect for but haven’t been about to get into his podcast. I think I just like when there’s more than one person and they bounce off each other.

            Yup. There are references that I don’t get, and probably never will, but they’re still really fun to listen to.

            For Blindboy, I have to be doing something calm and nearly mindless to really focus on what he’s saying… So usually I’m either playing Slitherlink (at your own pace, just know how to count from 1 to 6), or stitching.
