Trillbilly Worker’s Party is always good, their meandering ramblings on late stage capitalism, environmental collapse, and religion scratch an itch for me

Fall of Civilizations had a good episode on Byzantium that’s a few hours long, although it is better as a video because of all the gorgeous drone footage of the Bosporus and Istanbul they used was mama mia I haven’t seen all their stuff yet but I’ve enjoyed it quite a lot, I can just personally vouch for the Byzantium episode as being quite informative and well done

If you want something less serious, Boonta Vista is great. Started out as basically Australian Chapo but is now a collection of random segments that are mostly weird local news stories

Worst of All Possible Worlds, “case studies in the pop culture of a dying empire,” in particular their series Whit’s Endless Summer which is about the evangelical Christian children’s radio drama Adventures in Odyssey and is completely insane. They also just talk about media in general, find a movie or a game you like that you’ve talked about and the episode will be interesting.

The Dollop is a great road trip one, one comedian reads a history story to another comedian. Some great ones are 1908 New York to Paris Car Race, The Pieman, and James Sullivan and the 1904 Olympic Games

Some of my faves:

• The Dollop
• Behind the Bastards
• Rev Left Radio
• The Deprogram
• Chapo
• Citations Needed
• Blowback
• Tech Won't Save Us
• Better Offline
• The Socialist Program
• Economic Update
• Team Human
• Democracy Now

Matt and Chris from Chapo's Hell on Earth series is ~12 hours, about the protestant reformation and foundation of capitalism and is very good

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do yourself a favour and listen to The Stalin Eras podcast episodes by Proles Pod

We're Not So Different! It's a history podcast focused mostly on the medieval era that's hosted by Marxists. They have a whole series of history through the lense of historical materialism that I really enjoyed, they have on really good guests to talk about their areas of expertise sometimes, they did an episode where they watched A Knight's Tale and talked about it, and they're both pretty outspoken about their politics when it's relevant to the discussion

Have you listened to Dungeon Crawler Carl yet? I'm more of a reader, but I hear the audiobook is amazing.

• Also, I enjoy listening to The Dollop, Chollop and Past Times all with Dave Anthony and Gareth Reynolds.
• Blowback
• Citations Needed
• Death Panel

Pedagogy of the oppressed audio book is about 7:45, and thats with the long intro and foreword. I listen on 1.5x speed cause he talks too slow. So if you want something you can get through and complete during the drive, thats a decent choice.

You might "test listen" a few episodes of "The Dollop". I typically like listening to the guys riff but sometimes they just won't know when to stop a cringe bit.

Otherwise, The Dollop should be pretty solid.

Could also try a handful of "The West Wing Thing" episodes. Dave Anthony, from The Dollop, and his co-host slowly descend into madness by watching and talking about (almost) each and every episode of the early 00's hit TV series, "The West Wing". I para-socially found their rage to be cathartic regarding a show that I've never watched but seems to have influenced so many Democrat and "centrist" political creatures of the USA.

If you're not already familiar with The Black company series by Glen Cook, its awesome

The locked tomb series Myth and legends podcast. Project hail mary

Pendejo Time

THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES

It's a horror audio drama and the best work of art I have ever listened to

I started going through the True Anon Falun Gong / Shen Yun episodes again, think it's about 5 hours.

Return of the Repressed is suited for exactly this.

Trashfuture is one I like listening to. It's funny without being obnoxious.

Tides of history and its continuation past lives is a fantastic podcast about history, but i would skip the interview episodes

Most of the good education and edutainment pods have already been listed, but if you wanna just laugh then Teacher's Lounge is some of the funniest media I've ever experienced.
