Anyone know a good show on gardening, maybe a bit on the nerdy/technical side? Maybe they talk about nutrients in the soil or what happens when compost breaks down, that sort of stuff.

I know I've asked several times about podcasts in French and I finally got a tip to heads towards radio France (this seems obvious in retrospect). They've a slew of podcasts ranging all sorts of subjects in French. Obviously there's a bunch on politics, but surprisingly to me a very well developed music based section.

France musique owns if you want to know what's happening in jazz, contemporary classical, and even electronic music. Open Jazz, Les lundis de la contemporaine, Electrain de nuit, La tribune des critiques de disques, are good shows worth checking out.

Anyone listening to The Virtual Memories Show http://chimeraobscura.com/vm/ ? It's afaik just interviews with writers and artists. Latest one has sci-fi writer Samuel Delany. Haven't listened to it yet, but the guest list sounds interesting.

If you're interested in classical music or want to learn about the fine nuances between conductors and performers, check out

https://www.francemusique.fr/emissions/la-tribune-des-critiques-de-disques

Basically they take one work, and then listen to different recordings with different orchestras and conductors, then discuss what makes them special, why this is better or worse etc. It's really good for learning to listen and discovering how subtle changes can influence the mood of a piece. Really excellent.

You know, I knew nothing about this guy but a friend gave me one of his books to read and I thought it was weird as all gently caress.

Le Guin and Delaney are worth a look if you're interested in 70s scifi dealing with social issues or language itself. I don't remember much of Delaney's stuff, reading it as a non-native speaker was super hard (since the structure of the language was part of/intertwined with the narrative, iirc). Le Guin's Dispossessed is worth checking out, shows dealings between sovjet, capitalist and anarchist planets.

Are there any other podcasts like Joe Rogan's, where it's basically a 2 hour conversation with a scientist or researcher, and generally pretty chill? Also the host is not a researcher himself.

Currently listening to the Panzram supercut episode from Last Podcast on the Left, never heard that podcast before. Their cheeriness when someone talks about getting gang-raped is a bit weird. Actually kind of off-putting. Is that par for the course, or is that episode special? It's like the dollop, but they laugh about everything.

Criminal -- Excellent if you prefer a broad definition of true crime that isn't always murder (but may be murder). Almost every ep is worth listening to, but as an entry point, "Money Tree" is good.

This is a weird complaint, but to me, Criminal feels almost too "smooth" for a podcast. It's slick to the point where it's off-putting. From the audio quality to the pro-sounding voice of the narrator. Idk. I realize it's weird, maybe I like my podcasts a bit rough around the edges, especially when it's about emotional themes like murder. Industrial perfection makes it seem cold, cynical.

I like when a podcast tries to lend its popularity to a new podcast by subbing one of the new podcast's episodes into the popular podcast's feed. 99% Invisible does this all the time and so far I've never ended up subscribing to any of the shows they've promoted this way.

ah yeah there was that one episode where the presenters were struggling to make ends meet, until they find some sv-dude promising to pay them in crypto-currency. "the ~block-chain~ will change everything". made me lol

The only true crime show I stuck with is Generation Why. The hosts muted delivery makes the horrible stuff more bearable. They don't get excited or angry, and talk like a bunch of librarians on tranquilizers. But somehow that works for me.

Generation Why just released an interview with the director of Murder Mountain, a Netflix documentary about a remote community in Northern California. It's a pretty wild place; with legal and illegal weed growers, drop-outs, hippies, veterans, and mexican and russian organized crime gangs. Several people have gone missing over the last decades, and the police is afraid to enter some areas because people are armed and don't give a gently caress.
I watched the first episode and it has a really weird vibe, like it was the inspirational piece for the latest Far Cry game. The Gen Why dude said it reminded him of Twin Peaks, so I guess that works too.

Not really a podcast, but if you like True Crime shows, worth a watch. (also worth it for the look at the not so hippy-dippy weed growing industry)

Heh. I don�t listen to many podcast in my own language at the moment to be honest.
The Dutch public broadcasters Vpro and npo nos seem to have a wide array of podcasts. But haven�t listened to most of them.

Since I�m flemish I know more Belgian podcasts.
The newspaper �De standaard� has its ds audio podcast which is in itself a collection of podcasts about various subjects. From politics, current events, stories to technology.
Mostly international.

VRT NWS podcast (stands for �nieuws�, not Not Work Safe:)) sometimes local news, often international.

�Iemand� from Radio 1 interviews 1 interesting person each podcast.

They�re all very serious. I know some comedy podcasts, but they�re often in flemish dialect and probably not what you�re looking for.

I went and searched reddit for "nederlandstalige podcasts", and found a thread were a guy asked the question two months ago. Lots of stuff there:

Eyes Left Podcast https://anchor.fm/eyesleft is a podcast by two ex-servicemen and anti-war advocates, left leaning and with an interest in history and political philosophy.

Any recommendations for informative podcasts where the experts are allowed to talk at length without interjections, cuts to music, voiceovers from the hosts paraphrasing what the actually interesting person is saying? I love In Our Time for example, but it's necessarily brief, and Bragg sometimes plays a bigger role than he should.

Essentially...I guess I'm looking for a condensed lecture format rather than an interview style podcast. I enjoyed the Reith lecture series for example.

Either a) check out moocs from edx or coursera, I think you can dl the videos as mp3 and pretend it's a podcast, or b) listen to audiobooks about a topic you like. I don't mean to sound patronising by suggesting audiobooks, it's just what I started doing when some podcast topics were too brief.
