I asked this already in the megathread but maybe I will get some more answers here.

Anyone got recommendations for good podcasts? Gaming/History/Politics/Nerdshit, etc. I’m waiting for my new glasses, and my current ones are slowly killing me. So I would like to do stuff that I can do without using my eyes.

I dont really do podcasts usually so this is new territory for me.

EDIT: AGAIN Thanks for all the recommendations so far. Lots of cool stuff to sink my teeth into.

    The Dollop - one comedian reads a non-fiction story, typically from american history, to another, and they riff on it as they go. I'd recommend starting with the John Mccain episodes (I think it was a 3 parter)

    Citations Needed - the official podcast of hexbear.net, fairly dry analysis of media, PR, and the history of bullshit

    Blowback - A fairly thorough look at a different US imperialist war each season; S1 is Iraq, S2 is Cuba, S3 is DPRK

    Film Reroll - A group of actors play through movies as a tabletop RPG, typically going wildly off the rails, using GURPS. I'd recommend starting with O Brother, Where Art Thou?

        Damn straight! The playthrough of Memento is probably my favorite series, but I feel like it'd be confusing for new listeners.
