I never listened to podcasts until I was watching the final season of GOT. I started listening to almost all the GOT podcasts and my favorite by far was “Oysters, Clams and Cockles.” I think the two commentators covered all the things I had issues with in season 8. Lots of stuff that appealed to my sensibilities. I really appreciated their take on things. The show ended but the podcast continues, however they are covering shows that I have not watched yet but may yet watch so I don’t want to get spoiler-ed. Both hosts have separate podcasts and I tried them out but they are geared to a younger demographic, lots of stuff I’m not into. I think they have committed to the next season of Westworld so I have them saved to favorites.

I also listen to;  
Sex, Death and Money  
The Takeaway  
The Politics Guys  
The Daily  
Trumpcast  
Ephemeral  
The Al Franken Podcast  
Moonrise  
American Hysteria  
NPR Politics  
Stay Tuned with Preet  
Can He Do That  
Political Gabfest  
Throughline  
Behind The Bastards  
Sleepwalkers  
Five Thirty Eight Politics  
Walking Dead’cast

There’s more really, I have a bluetooth speaker on my forklift and can listen to podcasts all day at work.

> I didn’t catch this the first time and just noticed it. Isn’t it great? I love it so much. I can’t believe I hadn’t read non-Discworld stuff before this podcast.The Bromeliad Trilogy was something I would have missed out on entirely if it weren’t for this Terry Pratchett adventure. Plus they used one or two of my questions/comments!

I started listening to _Pratchat_ not just because I like Discworld, but because it’s locally made and I follow Cal Wilson on Twitter, and she was the first guest. I was very happy to stumble on it organically, it’s an excellent deep dive, very much in a book club style, and they’re around 2hrs long each, which is a goodly listen to while away an afternoon.

Heck yeah, I’m interested! That’s awesome.

**Railer13** posted the list at Google docs.

I also added a couple of others that I found while perusing the podcast libraries. There are 265 rows in the sheet. (It’s entirely possible that I missed a couple from this thread, but I don’t believe I’ll be adding any more entries.)
