Dammit Carl!

May 17, 2016, 11:31:37 AM
My job has me indoors and outdoors at varying rates through the year, so when I'm inside driving the computer, I like to get down with some music and podcasts.

The music thing is covered, so I'm looking for some suggestions on the podcast front; primarily in the areas covering history, comedy and the occult.  Odd mix, but there you go.

The goods as I've found so far:
1. Dan Carlin's "Hardcore History"  The two series covering WW1 and the Eastern Front in WW2 are very good
2. "The Dollop" - a mix of comedy and history at the same time!
3. "Bizarre States," - covers, in their words, "spooky shit."
4. A whole slew of one-off series from the BBC and others that are generally comedy or horror or a mix of the two.

What else have you guys got?

My favourite podcast is Page 94, by the British satirical news magazine Private Eye (can't post link right now, sorry).

It obviously has a British slant, but it's extremely amusing.  Basically just a bunch of satirists and investigative journalists interviewing each other and having a chuckle.  It's fantastic.

For a wacky group of goons, sports, social commentary, and the quirkiness that is Tony,  try the Tony Kornheiser Show.

Oh my God is this a funny one.  Basically, a DJ on a smooth R&B / light jazz station and his descent to madness / irrelevance.  Come for the tunes, and stay for the Laser Vandross!

Oh this is a wonderfully spooky 'cast.  Straight up "Delta Green," in podcast form.
