I got into podcasts to make the day go by faster at work. I started out with Up and Vanished (the first season) and then listened to the first season of Serial.

Dr. Death is also a good one, following one story and just wrapped up.

The one I listen to the most is The Dollop which is 2 comedians retelling stories from mostly American History. I have learned so many random things from history and the two guys who do it keep me very entertained.

I am so glad this thread exists!
