Recommend me a Podcast.

[Shai]

What non wrestling podcasts to y'all like to listen to?

Pretty much anything pop culture/nerd related is what I'm looking for.

Bonus points if someone has a cooking one for me.

[StuntGranny®]

No cooking ones, but here's a few I would recommend:

- Purple Stuff Podcast: If you read Dinosaur Dracula, you'll love this.
- Nerd Lunch: Fun show with really creative topics.
- Comedy Bang Bang: f***ing hilarious.
- Retroist Podcast: If you want something quick to listen to, this is it. Very informative, short podcast about various retro topics.

In The Dark & Serial (Crime related, but awesome story arcs for both of them - I couldn't get enough)

Make Me Like It (Not sure that's what it is called, but it shouldn't be too hard to find the real name) - as the title implies, every single episode has a different subject and a different guest, and they try to walk you through understanding and maybe even liking said subject.

Homecoming. This one is a story - fake - played brilliantly by the actors (Dave Schwimmer, that guy who played Tobias Fünke from Arrested Development). There's 6 to 8 episodes I believe, and I loved every single one of them.

We Hate Movies - A hilarious podcast hosted by four comedians reviewing bad movies. It's a fairly simple concept; but they're really good at impressions and off-the-cuff bits. They all also have a pretty impressive knowledge of film; which adds validity to their criticisms.

[Mighty Attack Tribble]

Hardcore History - a great, in depth history podcast covering a pretty broad range of subjects and time periods. Very infrequent releases (three or four episodes per year) but each one is usually a minimum of four hours long and incredibly well researched.

All Killa No Filla - two British comediennes discuss the lives and "careers" of famous serial killers. They tend to be on the more irreverent side of things, so don't expect comprehensive details, but it's a fun little show.

The Unexplained with Howard Hughes - pretty much a British take on the Art Bell format of paranormal phenomena, conspiracy theories, UFOs, psychics, etc. Quality greatly depends on the guests, but with Howard's background as a long-time broadcaster for the BBC, ITV and more he often lands interviews with some big names.

Chris Cabin is a film critic who writes for Collider, and Andrew Jupin teaches Film and Media at a college, so they definitely know their shit.

Aside from wrestling I only really listen to history or mystery podcasts. These are great if you are looking for things informative, interesting or creepy.

In Our Time - A roundtable history discussion
History Extra - A magazine style history show with interviews and features
Mysteries Abound - A range of creepy or fascinating stories told by a great narrator
Originz - Done by the same person who does the above Mystery podcast but this looks at interesting stories about history, nature, science etc
Myths and Legends - As the title says!
The Unexplained with Howard Hughes - see the description in the above post

That sounds fun.
Is it through itunes or something else?

I like Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast. If you're into old Hollywood it's worth a listen.

Doug Stanhope's Podcast. Mostly him and his drunk friends and their antics. If you don't know Stanhope or like him, wouldn't recommend. Lots of black and gallows humour.

I did not know Comedy Bang Bang was based on a podcast. I watch the show on IFC.

I love Doug Stanhope. I have a very twisted sense of humor.

Then check out his podcast. They come out often and at an irregular schedule but when they drink, which is a few times a week, they record it

Yep. The podcast is a little different from the show, but not too much. Scott Aukerman is the host, but he's not 'in character' like he is on the show. Usually they have a 'normal' guest and then someone else playing a character, like on the show. I'd suggest any episode with Neil Campbell (His Time Keeper character is hilarious), Paul F. Tompkins, Lauren Lapkus, Horatio Sanz, or Thomas Middleditch.

[Big DSR Energy]

Improv4Humans, in which Matt Besser (of the UCB) and usually 3 other improvisers make up sketches based on twitter suggestions, Youtube videos, etc. I'd recommend any episode with John Gemberling or Jon Gabrus.

Doughboys, which features Nick Wiger and Mike "Spoonman" Mitchell. It's supposed to be about reviewing chain restaurants, but they also diverge into Star Wars talk, Super Mario stuff, how much they hate doing the show, how much they hate themselves and/or each other, and it's all usually pretty hilarious.

Thirty Twenty Ten is one of my favorites

They talk about Events, Movies, TV Shows. Music, Video Games that happen 30,20,10 years ago

[Powerline]

Sklarbro Country if you're into sports and comedy. They usually casually bring up sports, but focus more on their guest and what they wanna discuss.  Their guests are usually comedians, but they shake it up sometimes (even the sports people spend only the "headlines" segment talking about sports, and they never touch it at all with some guests).

"The Completely Unnecessary Podcast" is good for videogame stuff, though they mostly dabble in retro-gaming news and information. They sometimes will delve into wrestling if something newsworthy happens (Wrestlemania, a mega-legend passing away), but the vast majority of the time it's videogames, films (especially if an entry in a major franchise releases, like a new Marvel film), television, etc. The show has felt kindof different ever since one-half of the show, Ian, has had some health issues and took a long hiatus.  Recently it's just been Pat (of "Pat the NES Punk" fame) discussing the topics himself. In the newest episode though, Ian made his return after almost 5 months, though he left after the first hour was done.  It's still good when it's a "solo Pat episode", but different since he doesn't have Ian to play off of.  There would be times Pat would be very nonchalant about a topic and Ian would pretty much go "you better be recording, cause I'm about to rip some heads off".  But Pat will tee off sometimes too (particularly their "scumbag seller of the week" topic gets him in a fluster).  Just, don't listen to this with kids around, especially if you backtrack to the Ian episodes, cause he'll cuss like a sailor.

I can't help you directly with the food/cooking podcasts personally, but I have a friend that swears by a couple. "Spilled Milk" is pretty much what I said about Sklarbro Country, except replace "sports" with "food". It's a couple food-writers/comedians dissecting a random ass topic; could be steak, could be oreos, or anything in between. And then "A Taste of the Past" is actually about food and cooking throughout history; what/how different people and cultures ate, what we believe their rituals to be when it came to meals, etc.

[ShaolinHandLock]

I listen to a couple of video game podcasts, Cooptional Podcast and the Jimquisition Podcast.

Apart from that, the BMFcast (Bad Movie Fiends Podcast), I've been listening to for years...in fact, I'm pretty sure it's the first podcast I ever listened to, and the first that I started listening to on a regular basis. Don't let the name fool you, they aren't the type of podcast that craps all over 'bad' movies, they genuinelly enjoy 'bad' movies and I find it fun to listen to.

There are a few other podcasts I listen to, but I wouldn't exactly recommend them...apart from the Cox N Crendor Podcast.
