I have always hated this stupid ass podcast. They are your gold standard of "podcast that claims to be about X/Y/Z but actually it will be 45 minutes of really awful riffing/jokes/loud laughter and 45 minutes of us basically reading the wikipedia article for the topic at hand". And sure, that's every podcast (which is why I don't listen to any regularly) but oh my god I just wanna hear about the bridge collapse that your episode is titled after I don't care about some tweet you saw why are you talking about tweets you're an engineering disaster podcast
For this very reason Blowback is the only podcast I actually keep up with
Proles pod :)

is one of the few unscripted podcasts I can stomach because the hosts know what the fuck they're talking about, articulate their thoughts clearly, and actually stick to the topic at hand. What a concept!
There's some podcasts, generally ones with only one host, that have none of that. That's why I love The History of Rome, it's basically all content, and none of that fluff.
