  I am curious if you have any episodes you would recommend? I have seen the worst. I wonder what the good ones are and would be interested to better understand the appeal.

  I tend to go for very dry and academic podcasts. We’re not so different, maintenance phase, when diplomacy fails, Australia in the world, tech wont save us etc.

    I’m not the person you asked, but his 2019 Bernie Sanders interview was really good.

    Not what you asked for but I assume you already listen to Stuff You Should Know? Thats a super easy listening general science & culture podcast for background listening while working or traffic.

    The 2016 election night episode entitled something like “The End of the World” was great and IMO signals the shift in the show. He’s at the Comedy Store or The Icehouse (LA comedy clubs) and there are a dozen comics on stage commenting as other comics drop in and out.
