I have been a podcast listener for quite few years now and in all these years I have amassed quite a cataglog of podcasts, these span across genres and languages.
In this post I'll suggest my top five recommendations that I really *really* love and the ones I think you should definitely try out.
1. No Such Thing As A Fish
Starting the list with my favorite podcast of all time, if you're on the lookout for a podcast that's not just wildly entertaining but also jam-packed with intriguing nuggets of knowledge, then look no further than "No Such Thing As A Fish." I can't recommend it highly enough—like, seriously, it's off the charts in terms of both fun and fascinating facts. If I can recommnd only one podcast to anyone, it'll be No Such Thing As A Fish.
2. 99% Invisible
If you're in the mood for a podcast that's equal parts captivating and mind-bending, "99% Invisible" is a must-listen. Hosted by Roman Mars, it delves into the often-overlooked aspects of our world, revealing fascinating stories and intricacies behind everyday things. It's a great listen for those interested in design and curious about the unnoticed beauty in the world. Check it out to see the world with fresh eyes.
3. Twenty Thousand Hertz
For a podcast that's all about the incredible world of sound and audio, "Twenty Thousand Hertz" is a great fit. Hosted by Dallas Taylor, this show delves into the fascinating stories and science behind the sounds we encounter every day. From the iconic 'Netflix THX' sound to the history of ASMR, it's a deep dive into the auditory wonders that shape our world. Whether you're an audio enthusiast or just intrigued by the soundscape around you, "Twenty Thousand Hertz" is a captivating journey into the world of sound, delivered with an engaging and casual style.

4. The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
If you're on the hunt for a podcast that seamlessly blends science, skepticism, and humor, "The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe (SGU)" is an excellent choice. Hosted by a group of witty and knowledgeable skeptics, including Dr. Steven Novella, this show is your ticket to navigating the often bewildering world of pseudoscience, debunking myths, and exploring the wonders of scientific discovery. With a casual and approachable tone, they break down complex topics and challenge conventional thinking, all while keeping you entertained. If you're curious about critical thinking, science, and the curious corners of the universe, "SGU" is a fantastic journey into the world of skepticism and reason. Give it a listen and prepare to sharpen your mind while having a great time.
Of course the list will not be my recommendations if I did not include a audio drama in the mix. "The Amelia Project" is hands down one of my absolute favorite podcasts! It's a brilliantly witty and imaginative series that keeps you hooked from the first episode. If you're into dark humor, clever storytelling, and a dash of mystery, you'll fall head over heels for this show. Seriously, it's a must-listen for anyone who enjoys a captivating and delightfully quirky audio experience. Don't miss it!
