I’d you’re on Android, you have an app called Android Podcasts. If you’re on an iPhone, I highly recommend the free app Overcast because it’s infinitely better than Apple Podcasts.
What kinda stuff are you interested in? My podcast list is mostly comprised of non-annoying true crime, interesting tech stuff, and the dumbest comedy garbage I’ve ever heard (and I very much love how dumb it is.)
Never heard of that. There’s Google Podcasts, but Google discontinued it recently. I’d personally recommend AntennaPod, but there’s other alternatives as well.
Thank you! I was misinformed. I had the first two android phones but switched to iPhones after my partner got theirs, and because phones stopped having physical keyboards, I hated the way Android typed. It’s better now but with a stock system I’m more into privacy now. I’ll keep AntennaPod in mind for reccos in the future!
History, Behind the Bastards is hilarious and mortifying. Start with “Oskar Dirlwanger: The Worst Nazi”.
Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History is more serious with LOOONG episodes. Painfotainment is definitely a great one to start with.
Tech, Darknet Diaries is the greatest. Tons of excellent stories about infosec, opsec, and pentesting. Start with Gollumfun… or Welcome to Video if you wanna be absolutely mortified.
“Search Engine” is another great tech podcast that goes further than just tech. Start with “Should this creepy search engine actually exist?”
No worries! I listen to podcasts all day while I work, and I very much love them.
“Hunting Warhead” is one of the best I’ve heard, but I can’t content warning it enough. It’s completely fucked, and gets worse every episode. Excellently researched and told, though.
I loved Apple Podcasts until a few years (maybe almost a decade ago…) when they really wonked up the interface. I tried a couple different applications, but ended up on Overcast. It has a fantastic interface and gosh darn LOUDNESS EQUALIZATION (“Voice Boost”, they calls it) so podcasts that have both quiet and loud parts or aren’t mastered well are actually listenable in like, a car.
I’ve seen Apple podcats recently and it got better! But I still think overcast is vastly superior.
Please do

+1 for AntennaPod!

Sorry for some reason I didn’t see your reply before.
History, tech, tv seris (Fantasy, Sci Fi, etc)… These are the things that I think might work in a podcast format, do you have any recommendation?
Absolutely!

Hmm interesting, I use Apple Podcasts and have no issues with the app. What does Overcast do better in your opinion?
