The Dollop has an amusing episode on The Minneapolis co-op war. When hippies, anarchists, and Marxists try to get into the grocery business. Interesting reveal at the end.
Skip to about 10 minutes to bypass the ads.

Something funny I have just discovered and started going through the backlog of is Gossipmongers

David Earl, Joe Wilkinson and Poppy Hillstead read out unsubstantiated rumours sent in by listeners. At the end of each episode they choose their favourite piece of gossip and help spread it further by getting Poppy to shout it out the window.``` add quoted text here -

Here's The Thing with Alec BaldwinSheesh, there's a lot of Podcasts in the world, I don't listen to any of those, and to be frank I've probably only heard of three of them. Yet I listen to podcasts every day while doing exercises and still struggle to keep up with some them.
-
@Nepia Ditto - I keep up with the topical ones and things I really enjoy but there are others like The History of Rome that I enjoy but don't really have the time for and as a result have been working my way through it for three years. Still only 23/179 to go - almost to the sack of Rome.

I discovered I couldn't listen to his voice after a while, I got further than you though, scratch that, I missread, you got way further than me.
I mix it up between entertainment (movie and tv podcasts) and history mostly, with the odd general ones like Business Wars, Cracked, Intrigue, Reply All, Against the Rules and Science Vs.
I've stopped all true crime though as it did my head in after a while.
-
@Nepia yeah the true crime ones can be hard going, just astounded at how fucked up some people are.
I havent listened as much due to lock down and I dont listen at work, just in the car or out walking the dog.
-
@taniwharugby hah, I pretty much only listen to true crime. Podcasts have pretty much ceased to exist though as I only generally listen to them if commuting or driving.
