I like podcasts more on the vegetable side of the spectrum than the candy side. This is what I’ve exhausted so far: The Dollop, Citations Needed, 5 - 4, Revolutions, Blowback, The History of Rome, The Audit, Hardcore History

Should I go back to Robert Fedvans and the Belling Cat Bad Guys Show with 3 ad breaks an hour?

I don’t want to listen to audiobooks outside of my commute because I’m way too distracted. All day I’m remembering 3-5 digit numbers while scanning through other numbers to find the matching ones. I need something interesting that I can zone in and out of
