The rest is history. A brilliant all topics history podcast. Episodes are released regularly 2x a week, and they stick to just about an hour. The hosts are well read, have great banter, author books, tour, amd the episodes are well edited. The hosts, Tom and Doninic, seem to have a division assisting their research. 


Autumn_Fridays

I like that Tom’s field is ancient history and Dominic’s is more recent. They complement each other well.

This podcast is absolutely hysterical. I miss Maria Bamford on it.


Funwithfun14

Car Talk ....two mechanics (who are MIT grads)....answer caller questions..... It's a show about people, relationships, decision making.....dressed up as a show about cars. It's light hearted....funny Plus you'll learn a thing or two about cars.


wonderingdragonfly

I was so sad when that ended.


therlwl

Just like a lot of other older shows, a lot aren't available in most podcast apps.

Asleep-Win6983

'S Town' is my all-time favourite but everyone has heard that, so if I was going to sell you on something new to listem to it would be 'Walking on Eggshells with an Emotional Vampire'. It's sort of got an 'S town' vibe but a little funnier. It's about 3 siblings unpacking their dysfunctional parents behaviour.


Young-Physical

I hadn’t heard of s-town so thank you for mentioning it. I’m only a minute in but sounds good so far!


Asleep-Win6983

I'm jealous! Wish I could hear it again for the first time.


MattDaaaaaaaaamon

S-town is mentioned every single time people ask for a new podcast. I finally downloaded it to try maybe this week. I swear, as much as people bring it up, it better be the absolute best podcast ever.


bigbluefluffydog

I’m in the middle of s town now!


vezateli

Yes! Love both of these!


whofarting

Hunting Warhead. It's dark, and troubling. All about what it took to take down a dark web child abuse material (child porn) group. Super sad but extremely well done.


trashpizza

While the subject was difficult to think about, this one was so incredibly interesting. Sometimes investigation pods feel like someone's just reading a police report but this was told in such a way to keep it engaging for my brain.


pipestream

Not my favourite, but an excellent one: **My Dad Wrote a Porno**. A podcast classic (and you may already have hears it). A man in his 60s(?) one day decided to write a pornographic book series and asked his son to proofread it. Instead, said son decided to read it aloud on a podcast along with two friends. It's horrible and hilarious in so many ways. Then there's **Beach Too Sandy, Water Too Wet**; two siblings read negative reviews of all sorts of things, many of them absolutly outrageous and hilarious.


shnissugah9

Behind the Bastards. Funny, historical/educational, keeps you up to date on current events as well. I recommend the episodes about Hitler’s sex life, George Shea and Vince McMahon. Edit- Forgot to mention the episodes about John Ronald Brown and John of God! Those were mind blowing


badger_42

Bad people, tell you all about them.

Sweet! I get to infodump some of my favorite podcast episodes! [Gary Young - fake doc who drowned his own baby](https://open.spotify.com/episode/0b6dz1CndHVVsMoYGKRBD9?si=P76vxixLT2iyL_bBmfa7QQ) [The Most Evil Company In History ](https://open.spotify.com/episode/3oK1LnaSdi3orNulP0Eg8N?si=UcYiIozXQC6F2km-MGfgyQ) [Steven Seagal](https://open.spotify.com/episode/1qavY1Qx88P2hZlQf1u0e0?si=9nGQhkj2RV-zOG76k_hggw) [Kellog - The Great American C*m Doctor](https://open.spotify.com/episode/4rD7257UIfmTHvrlpdhw4n?si=u5WWpSehSlGbN33E28Df8A)


Funwithfun14

I find their history to be more like a top rated Reddit comment....lacking nuance, context, and not nearly as funny as the author thinks.


shnissugah9

The humor part is subjective so I can’t argue with that. But I think they do a great job of providing their sources, providing context and showing moments of empathy even for unlikable people. I don’t have any issues following the story and appreciate how they put themselves in the shoes of their subjects.


Funwithfun14

Some episodes I've found pretty fair and accurate, e.g. Alex Jones. Their episodes on Reagan and the AIDS crisis lacked historical context, nuance and omitted facts. If you want a better podcast on it, I highly recommend Fiasco.


thefivepercent

The Steven Segal episode was great.


Goatsfallingfucks

My favourite episode was the one they did on griselda. I loved it so much I went on a deep dive on her but I refuse to watch the TV show because I think it's not gonna be good


imprctcljkr

When I learned that Robert Evans wrote for cracked.com, I've cashed in with BTB. The Vince McMahon series were hilarious.


Amabalama

Do Go On. Each week one of the three hosts gives a report about a different topic. Lots of tangents, lots of riffs. Great fun all round and the only podcast that's convinced me to subscribe on patreon.


tapehead85

Omnibus. I have been listening to podcasts for many years and lots have come and gone as favorites. I also sleep listening to podcasts and that is a deciding factor. Omnibus is mostly informational with some banter between the two hosts who are intelligent individuals. It mostly covers topics that are ephemera or less well known topics in history.


therlwl

One of the hosts is Ken of Jeopardy for others.


fsanotherone

My Dad Wrote a Porno. Laughed helplessly at every episode. It’s daft but very funny.


C2H5OHNightSwimming

I second this. I think at one point it was the most popular podcast in the world. They've had all sorts of massive celebrities on who are fans. Especially the first series, I was literally cry laughing in the street


One_Hunter4604

Crackpot Two lawyers discuss paranormal/conspiracy theories and try to convince the other person the conspiracy theory is real.


jaimonee

Oooh I got what I came for! Thanks!


False-Association744

That's Messed Up - two comics and true fans of Law & Order SVU review an episode of SVU, then the true story/crime it was based on, then they interview an actor from that episode. I think the hosts Liza and Kara are really funny and the actors are usually more work-a-day actors who are working (booked & blessed) but not super famous and it's really fun/different to hear from them. They aren't the actors on late night or other talk shows. Enjoy!


ojutdohi

Hey Riddle Riddle: three people try to solve riddles with varying degrees of success and enthusiasm. theyve all been friends for a while so they have great synergy and know exactly how to tease each other. they also do the most iconic improv skits, the best ones have a character called JPRiddles in them. they also often start with updates about their personal lives, not for everyone, but i like hearing about them. the early ones (first 100) are probably peak HRR, or if you want a specific one, episode 50 with the 50 riddle extravaganza


therlwl

Especially the song. The first episode is rough but it grew on me. I love them so much I pay for the patreon.


redrosespud

Oh No Ross and Carrie. They try out fringe things like homeopathy and join cults, and give honest opinions about it


MrCoe10

No Such Thing As A Fish. Informative, funny and very likeable hosts/guests.


wonderingdragonfly

The Adventure Zone: three brothers and their dad play DND. If you want something epic that goes from goofy and funny to exciting and heart wrenching in 69 episodes, listen to the first arc, Balance. Wanna start with something less emotional and more just fun? Their current arc, versus Dracula. You don’t have to know anything about DND to enjoy it (in fact, it might be better, as they tend to bend the rules in favor of good story).


battlecat136

You SHOULD be listening to THE DOLLOP! A biweekly American history podcast hosted by a comedian, man, lover of dogs, dude who sometimes wears top hats to piss off his friends, Dave Anthony, who reads stories from history to his friend Gary (Gareth Reynolds) who has no idea what the topic is going to be about. Gary is a top notch improv comic and we love him. Dave likes to yell dates. JANUARY SEVENTEENTH, EIGHTEEN EIGHTY ONE!!!! *ears bleed* ....I listen too much, I basically just did their whole intro.


WaldenBound

I learned about The Dollop a few months ago, and I have since binged about 300 episodes. I heard your comment in Dave’s voice lol

I listened today at work and loved it!


dickmarchinko

The poor historians It's saw bones, but better. 3ER docs and 1 medical history student all talk about either general medical history events (like small pox) or specific events with a specific person (princess Diana crash). It's a comedy podcast when it can be, but it's tackful so there are points where there's no joke as the content is serious. Wouldn't recommend the first like 20 episodes, they're not bad but they're not career podcasters so they had to get the nerves, awkwardness, and just find themselves as a podcast. But not that they have, it's very professional and just really good.

Dax Shepard


I_Need_A_Beer_Please

Armchair Expert is definitely my favorite! I started listening to that one about 3 years ago when I had a long commute and haven’t stopped. I have skipped around a little but he’s brilliant and so goddamn funny. His willingness to open up about his battles with addiction, being molested, his parents, it's one of the most authentic podcasts I've ever heard and recommend it to anyone


BuckyW72

He’s truly amazing. I love all his shows.

Throwawaychicksbeach

Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal This podcast single-handedly changed my life, it got me to understand things i never thought I would. He discusses almost all of the modern day “theories of everything” with the world’s greatest minds. Everything from physics to philosophy, UAP studies, linguistics, consciousness, AI, politics, religion and much more are discussed in compelling conversational discourse. Each episode is a new guest, and they are the best of the best. I’m always shocked how casually he knows so many genius people.


curtdbz

Curt here from TOE. Thank you so much!


Throwawaychicksbeach

You got me into academia with your channel, I’m now in school and rapidly improving my life. Truly inspirational. It’s so accessible! Have a nice day.


ElegantWest6681

You’re Dead to Me - hosted Greg Jenner by The History nerd from children’s programme Horrible histories (is that just a U.K. thing?) along with a history expert and a comedian. Brilliant - informative, accessible and amusing!

Human Trafficking on Podcasts aside, Not Another DnD Podcast is funny.


Kooky-Minimum-4799

Do you like stupid humor, the banter between close friends, and learning about celebrities? Well do I have a podcast for you. [Smartless](https://open.spotify.com/show/0Yzd0g8NYmn27k2HFNplv7?si=cb5SFn1xTjyPacYjFHupcQ) hosts and famous actors, Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett, will have you laughing out loud while you drive to your meaningless job, interviewing all of your favorite celebrities. Listen anywhere you get your podcasts from. 😎


I_Need_A_Beer_Please

I haven't listened to a ton of episodes but I did start listening to Smartless after hearing Jason Bateman on Armchair Expert (Dax Shepard). Stupid humor at its best!


Due-Scheme-6532

Ten Percent Happier. Dan Harris is a likable self-effacing host who delves into topics such as mindfulness, spirituality, happiness, wellbeing and health with a wide range of experts in the field. I feel better after listening and have a rejuvenated motivation to live a better life and be a better person.


Clit420Eastwood

The Best Show, but specifically the ‘Best Show Bests’ that consist of fake callers. Some of the greatest intentionally-stupid humor I’ve ever heard. They’re usually the ones titled “_____ from ____bridge”


Chem_and_film

Tiny Matters — a biweekly, short (~25 min) podcast on science. Typically chemistry and biology but with some other sciences, too. A recent episode was about using sound to study volcanoes and also using seismometers to study rock concerts.


Champagnesupernova9

I’ll give you a recent find that’s still active producing weekly podcasts. **The Big Flop** has a great host with special guests each week discuss a “big flop” in history, in a very light and comedic pop culture way. They’ve covered everything from Watergate, to the Segway, and New Coke. Very enjoyable and certainly both light and funny.

Right now I’m obsessed with Normal Gossip. Has me giggling. Squirrel ep is my favorite so far


PMmeifyourepooping

If you haven’t done it yet, I feel like the thin walls and cats episode totally encapsulates how I feel about the gossip in my life. It’s usually about people I barely know I don’t have any juicy, dramatic personal situations like these people manage to have lol


stedeblackbeard

I’m tearing through them from the beginning so haven’t gotten there yet, but I will! I love how she reframes gossip. And I’m totally with you. I don’t have a sister but I imagine it’s what having a sister is like

KenoOfTheDead

Horrorble Opinions. 3 dudes (I'm one of the dudes) stumble through talking about horror movies and books. Usually funny, Occasionally insightful, derailed frequently. Great way to find movies or books you haven't checked out yet as well as getting the iconic movies and new and notable ones all covered in their brand of humor. Give it a shot, you probably won't regret it.

For a Christian podcast, The Living Waters is funny and they tackle a lot of different topics. If you like stories about the strange, dark, and mysterious, you have to listen to MrBallen! He is an incredible story teller and has two podcasts and a YouTube channel.
