Uhh Yeah Dude. 2 guys choppin it up since 2006.
This History of Rome – Pretty much exactly what the title says. This is an old podcast. It started in 2007 and finished in 2013. It pioneered the history podcast genre. It was made by Mike Duncan, who went on to create…
Revolutions – Mike Duncan’s follow up to The History of Rome. It’s a similar format, but rather than a single on-going historical narrative, each season focuses on a different historical revolution. The original run of the show covered the English Revolution, American, French, Haitian, Spanish-American, 1830 French Revolution, 1848 European Revolutions, Mexican, and Russian Revolutions. He then concluded the podcast in 2022, but started it back up again late last year. This season is a fictionalized podcast about the Martian Revolution of the 24th century (told as a history from someone living well in the future of it). He’s said that once he’s done this season he’s going back to doing historical revolutions picking back up after the Russian Revolution.
If you’re at all techy or in to self-hosting or home automation, the Self-Hosted podcast is excellent listening.
Shout out to Linux Unplugged, from the same network, Juipeter Broadcasting
Plenty of audience participation, current and active.
They also have meetups, community stuff and are very fediverse involved!
LeVar Burton Reads
It’s exactly what you see on the label. Curated collection of short stories read by Mr. Buron. There are very few “to be continued” episodes, so you can pretty much jump in wherever and have a listen.

And a vote for previously mentioned podcasts:
- 99% Invisible - a podcast about design, arguably my favourite
- Darknet Diaries - a podcast about cybersecurity
Origin Story - two people (from British print media) go into the backgrounds of terms, groups, ideologies, and people in the news.
The Fall of Civilizations is hauntingly beautiful
Darknet diaries. It’s about anything security, spy, hacking, some networking bots, etc. do NOT need to be a nerd to love it, recent episode was a guy who started tracking stolen bikes and found a crazy web of criminals though patterns.
Very well spoken, very well edited, very easy to listen to, even if you’re technically challenged.
Here are some I really enjoy, which I also use to fall asleep to.
- Fall of civilizations - great history show
- Sweet Bobby - Weird and fascinating story
- The Spy Who - Awesome storytelling about different spystories from around the world
- It could happen here - Podcast that tells how a second american civil war could happen
- Decoding the gurus - decoding weirdos like musk, jordan peterson and other scammers
The only one I listen to anymore is the WAN show. I just never have time to listen to them anymore so it usually takes 3-4 days to finish it.
I love Knowledge Fight. I came across Know Rogan podcast after seeing it linked a lot on the KFddit and I find it really good as well. If you like KF give KR a shot
I gave the Know Rogan guys’ other podcasts a shot but they weren’t for me. The Know Rogan one was good I even joined the Patron for it.
Thanks! With this I’ll feel better tomorrow.
Darknet Diaries, it’s about hacking and each episode is a different story and has interviews with people that were involved in information security incidents, either the ones doing the hacking and/or those defending from and responding to attacks
Great pod
Trueanon, if I ever make a manifesto I’m mentioning them in it
best podcast
