MODERATORS
Awesome, thanks. Here are some of the ones I would recommend:
The Reith Lectures - Lecture series from an expert on a topic. Tend to release episodes close to the end of the year only (episodes are releasing now talking about the state of democracy). The backlog is worth listening to.
The Dream- investigative podcast looked at pyramid schemes and the world of wellness.
The Jordan Harbinger Show - In-depth conversations with people at the top of their game.
Playing God - Medical ethics. Life-and-death dilemmas. New medical technologies. Controversial treatments.
Hot Money: The New Narcos - The backlog has excellent episodes about investigating the financing structures in the porn industry. They're just preparing to launch a new series now but I don't know what they're going to look at now.
You Are Not So Smart - about reasoning, biases, judgments, and decision-making.
The Happiness Lab - the science of happiness
Your Parenting Mojo - Respectful, research-based parenting ideas
CrowdScience - Listener questions about a science issue that the presenters then try to find experts to answer
The Real Story - examination of some current event issue.
The Inquiry - gets beyond the headlines to explore the trends, forces and ideas shaping the world.
The Infinite Monkey Cage - a witty, irreverent look at the world through scientists
Darknet Diaries - true stories of the dark side of the Internet
Revisionist History - Malcolm Gladwelllooks at things overlooked and the misunderstood
Owls at Dawn - Two dudes from SoCal who studied philosophy, politics, and religion around the globe who decided to start a podcast where we could bullshit with impunity.
If Books Could Kill - Two guys talk about books that are popular and tear apart how bad they are. I mostly find you don't need to have read the book and the books tend to be pretty popular.
The Forum - The programme that explains the present by exploring the past. Expert panel discussion about any subject area.
Law in Action - legal magazine programme, featuring reports and discussion on matters relating to law (UK based)
All Consuming - explore our culture of consumption through products that have changed the world.
Sound of Gaming - video game soundtracks and an interview with a sound designer from a popular video game.
Bad People - true crime with a criminologist and a comedian. This show has ended but the backlog is great.
