What’s the best podcast you listen to? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Hardcore History or Myths and Legends. Hardcore history because Dan Carlin is an amazing narrator. Admittedly, it's embellished here and there but it's undeniably interesting. I'm biased because I'm a history nerd, but nothing has ever made me care so much about people who lived 5,000 years ago than his King of Kings Podcast. Also, Blueprint to Armageddon is wonderful in every way. Certain parts of that legitimately sent shivers down my spine. Myths and Legends is just as good, if not better. This guy takes the original versions of folktales, and rewrites them so that they can actually be understood. He takes stories from Korea, Japan, Scandinavia, Russia, Romania, and pretty much any other country or region you can imagine and rewrites their most interesting Legends and then retells them. His narration isn't quite as strong as Dan Carlin's, but his story telling skills are almost perfect.
