RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]

MODERATORS
I don't listen to podcasts as much as I used to but these were the ones I liked
Darknet Diaries - Stories about viruses, hacks, penetration testing and similar stuff. Basically war stories from cyberspace explained in a way dummies like me can understand.
Hardcore History - Long form and in depth look at different eras in human history. The host likes to focus on the human stories and does a great job at keeping things interesting.
Time Suck - Comedian talks about history, true crime, cults, myths, legends and other interesting stories. A lighter take on some darker subjects
99 Percent Invisible - A podcast about design that people see or use all the time but rarely give a second thought. Trains, buildings, kids books, movie theaters, bikes and more
Oooooh hardcore history sounds right up my street! Gonna give time suck a go too
Since we share 2 out of 4 favorites I have to check out the design one! A book I really enjoyed at the time was The Design Of Everyday Things. It really opened my eyes to the level of attention to detail put on almost everything around us.
Nice I'll check that too!
