For me it's This Week In Google.

I listen to it every week and between new episodes I listen to the archival episodes I haven't heard yet.

he had something special in their first act, then he got his buddy and it became a decent smart guy/dumb guy podcast in their second act, and then they made a gross hard right wing turn for their third act ☹️

Ya you’re right some of their views are 👎. I actually stopped listening to the podcast sometime over the pandemic when they had a super right wing guest on and they let loose and agreed with his views which was uncommon. Didn’t finish the episode, but came back to it a few years later and I recall hearing Aaron back track. Some of their newer episodes are still interesting and they seem to be more balanced, though I’ve been listening to the pre pandemic episodes.

I think I've let go of MU for forever, but it was hard to do because Ben reading a firsthand account of a paranormal sighting really used to give me the feels back in the day
