Go back in the Scott Sigler archives. Serialized sci-fi books.

Huberman Lab - science and body info

Politics! Politics! Politics! - very light hearted and consumable.

Strike Force Five - they have concluded their run but it is worth going back and plowing though.

I would check out some stuff from The Weekly Planet, Late Night Linux family, and the EFF has some good ones.

If your open to privacy and security podcast I would look at Firewalls Don't Stop Dragons, Techlore, and The Privacy Security and OSINT Show.

The Allusionist - a clever, silly, British (and now Canadian!) word nerd.

Handsome - Tig Notaro, Mae Martin and Fortune Feimster talk about deep and silly things.

Maybe also Beach Too Sandy, Water Too Wet - siblings banter while reading reviews off the internet.

@mikey is that about astronauts on some kind of star trek?

mikey, 6 months ago

@NickGates It's mostly about two guys failing to get blown out of airlock.

If a series of toots can be a warning buoy, I nominate the above exchange @GreatestTrek

@Toastie what's that

It starts as a simple story about an entitled white couple trying to steal #Indigenous babies, but turns out to be an expose of a nationwide right wing plot by libertarian think tanks to destroy tribal sovereignty altogether.

Ace reporting and storytelling.
