    Thanks to all the construction my commute has gotten even longer. Sports radio isn’t the same and songs get old. Any good podcasts to listen to?

    Joe Rogan Experience. Varied guests and topics. Rogan is probably one of the best interviewers around.

    This American Life, Snap Judgement, State of the Reunion, Planet Money although those are all pretty Barnes and Nobley. Moth Radio Hour isn't bad either. The Serial Podcast, for the two seasons it ran, weren't bad, especially the second season.

    Bill Burr Monday Morning Podcast and Thursday podcasts typically don't interview anyone except chat with his wife when she walks in, but he is just an intrinsically funny person.

    I've been slowly listening to all of Stuff You Should Know for over a year now. Really good combination of good info and humor by a couple regular guys that are pretty funny. I would recommend it to anyone.

    I like Rogan, though he even admits to getting sucked into conspiracy theories. He puts out a lot of episodes, I pick and choose which I want to listen to. If I were to complain about something with him, it's that you hear a lot of repeated info, he likes regurgitating topics that have been covered to other guests.

    Another podcast I like is The Dollop. Two comedians, one presents a story from history to the other.

    Yeah, this is the best. For anyone who's at least somewhat familiar with wrestling from the late 80s to the early 2000s it is a good listen. Typically very long shows (most recent was 3 hr 50 min I think) so it's good especially if you're looking for a long one.

    Season 1 of Serial is by far the best podcast I've heard. Sarah Koenig is an amazing host, story teller, and interviewer. Season 2 was just OK, but give season 1 a shot.
