I'm looking to refresh my podcast subscriptions with thoughtful, insightful, non politics stuff (enough of that already in my subscriptions). I'd love some recommendations for:

  • Techie stuff for a luddite like me
  • Long form explorations of a single topic
  • Video gaming (loved the video game historian but he stopped)
  • TTRPGs and game design
  • Reading and Writing
  • Absolutely no interest in art, finance, crypto, cars, sports, aliens, murder/horror/crime, or influencer style conversation casts (Rogan or Piker)

My current subscriptions are to:

  • Dan Carlin's Hardcore History
  • Disasters Deconstructed (though I'm not liking the academic tone anymore since I left this career, so stopped listening as much)
  • Ralph Nader Radio Hour
  • CBC podcasts, a wide variety on politics
  • Autocracy in America
  • NPR Shortwave and Planet Money
  • John Stewart
  • Trevor Noah

Edit: Wow! So many great suggestions. Thanks!

Not sure these recommendations fit neatly into those categories, but here are some:

  • Tech: EFFector, How to Fix the Internet, Tech Won't Save Us - these mostly deal with the issues surrounding tech as opposed to the tech itself
  • Long form explanation: Let's Learn Everything - the topics are mostly science related with most of the research coming directly from scientific papers, but they also do miscellaneous topics
