Ask HN: What is the best podcast you listened to in 2021?
I've been listening to all of Darknet Diaries this year and it's
been amazing. Hoping 2022 will be filled with similar gripping
brain food. Happy new year.

| This is not a great. I used to listen to it late 2000s-early

| call to donations banner times 20. Whenever there used to be a
| week where they didn 't get as many donation as they expected
| the hosts (esp Adam) would literally throw a fit on air acting
| pissy and threatening to quit the show. All the whining about
| the donations completely turned me off and have never looked
| back, also not to mention a good 20-30 mins of each episode was
| a glorified add/call for donations.

|
| Particularly interesting was the recent episodes on edibles,

| One very unconventional suggestion for HN but I really enjoyed

| I can't pick a best, but here are the best two:
|
| * The British History Podcast

| * The History of English Podcast
|
| Both are very well-made and entertaining. The second might

| heard (including sources in person like at university).

| Also, "In our time", which is my go-to for standalone episodes.

|
| Atlas Obscura have a podcast, too:
| https://www.atlasobscura.com/podcast If you like the website,
| you're probably going to like the podcast as well.
|
| If you know German, I can recommend _Sternengeschichten_ (about
| astronomy) and _Einschlafen Mit Wikipedia_ (they read articles
| from the German Wikipedia in a very quiet voice, great for
| falling asleep, as the title suggests).
|
| Of those already mentioned, _Fall Of Civilizations_ deserves
| special praise.
