Brief descriptions/genres definitely recommended. Please don't be afraid of being :LIB:, I feel like so many podcast recs on this site focus of Political Pods which while fun, I can find myself listening to audio content for 6 hours on some days and I don't always wanna blast politics into my ears, and I know a lot of other people don't either.
my favorite podcast of all time is hey riddle riddle, an improv comedy riddle-solving podcast. basically, three comedians solve riddles and then do improv scenes based on whatever scenarios they can come up with relating to the riddles they solve or the tangents they go on. they're really, really funny people. plus, one of them (JPC) is a communist, so that's a nice bonus.
it's worth listening to from episode 1 onward, since there are a bunch of running jokes and the quality is pretty consistent anyway throughout the 200 or so episodes that exist currently.
