That we're all here means we love one or more of the Escape Artists podcasts. But you probably have other favorites too - here's the thread to share them and discover new podcasts from other people's favorites!
Any type of podcasts count - story podcasts of course, but tell us your favorite educational podcasts, or ones about your hobbies and interests.
My list
Story podcasts: Lightspeed, Beneath Ceaseless Skies, Drabblecast (RIP?)
NPR: This American Life, Radiolab, Invisibilia, More Perfect (supreme court history).

Some of my favorites get deep into crunchy analysis of literature and film. I enjoy discussion of the minutiae that make up stories. These include:
Faculty of Horror
The Know Fear Cast
H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast
A Podcast to the Curious
The Tolkien Professor
-
Kurt Vonneguys
Kaijucast
The Great War Podcast
Comedy Button
How did this get Made
-
Decoder Ring Theater kind of like old time radio shows along lines of the Shadow. There are usually at least two Character arcs going. The Red Panda (very much a the Shadow type character) and Black Jack Justice (think mickey spilane or other noir detective.)
-
Fiction:
- The Magnus Archives (British horror shorts with a bit of metaplot)
- Welcome to Nightvale (disguised as a local radio station - comedic/absurd weirdness with a pinch of horror)
Non-Fiction:
- Deutschland Funk: Eine Welt (German NPR "one world" - news about other countries)
- Luftpost ("air mail" - a German student interviews people about their travels. includes an episode with me ;) )
- Cracked Podcast (comedy writers talking about weird history, media, and society)
- Freakonomics Radio (a journalist and an economist try to explain stuff; based on a book series by the same guys)
- Writing Excuses (four successful authors from different genre styles discuss how to write)
- Oh No Ross and Carrie (Ross and Carrie join cults or try out paranormal stuff and report on it)
- New Books in Anthropology (authors are interviewed about their research - easier to digest than reading those books)
-
I like Last Podcast on the Left, The Dollop, Kaijucast, and Joe Rogan's Podcast. Sometimes Cracked podcast, The First World War Podcast, and Comedy Button.
