Glad to see a thred like this, as Im an avid listener of podcasts to help keep passing time while I work. As such I'll leave my personal list of the ones I listen (In order of day I listen to them) with short descriptions of why I like them and see if any one of them strikes your fancy.
Monday;
Solomonster Sound Off: Every week Jason Solomon (aka The Solomonster) takes a look the the current ongoings on the Professional Wrestling bussines. It has some nice produciton values and Solomonster's commentary is always funny to listen to. A good source for Pro Wrestling New, WWE recaps and much more.
Weekly Manga Recap: Chris "RolloT" Larios and Nik "Yruleroftime" Freeman take a look at the newest issue of Weekly Shonen Jump (and some non SJ titles) and give their thoughts about it. It also ocationally features Manga reveiws with their particular style of humor. In my opinion the best way to keep up with SJ if you dont have that much time to read each individual issue.
Suplex City Limits: Another Pro Wrestling podcast, hosted by Jim Vicious and Tyler Fudge. They talk more casually about the week in Pro Wrestling while also getting high as fuck, which leads to some hilarious commentary. It's also the only podcast I've heard in English that recaps Mexican promotion AAA (Albiet from time to time). That being said I leave a fair warning that some of the hosts opinions might be a bit problematic for ceirtain subsets of people so I sugges some caution while listening to ti.
Critical Role: Matthew Mercer along with a big roster of talented voice actors gather arround a table every week and play various tabletop games (mostly D&D). They recently finished their first major campaing which I highly reccomend.
Tuesday:
Super Best Friendcast: Matt, Patt and Woolie sit around every week and talk about videogames with their particular style of humor and commentary. Definitively one of my favorites to listen to each and every week.
Waypoint Radio: The staff videogame website Waypoint talk about videogames while also discussing the politics arround them. If Im honest im one of "those people" who doesnt like the prospect of mixing this two particular subjets as Videogames are one of my few happy places to escape from constant depression and politics tend to trigger said depression... hard. But I also realize that sooner or later I have to engage with the subject so I make the effort to engage with said subject form time to time, which Waypoint covers. So yeah.
El Podcast de los 3 Gordos Bastardos (Mexican): One of the perks of being bilingual is that I can listen even more podcasts to complement my week. Sadly I for the most part have stopped listening to podcasts in Spanish, but this is one of the few I still keep up with. I love the fiendly dynamic between hosts Ezequiel, Adrian and Rafa and is another good place to listen to some of the goings on the videogame industry.
Giant Bombcast: And speaking of videogame podcasts, obviously I couldnt left this one out. I love the staff of Giant bomb and it's another great source of videogame industry news, commentary on current videogames and overall fun experience.
Wendsday:
The New Generation Proyect Podcast (Bi-Weekly): Stwart Brooks, Adam Wykes and Paul Scrivens, take a look at the darkest period in WWE history, the mid 90's, with their particular point of view. Some nice investigative work on what was going on at the time as well as nice banter between the hosts. From Mullets to Maths, the NewGen podcast is sure to entertain.
Rebel Taxi's Pizza Party Podcast (Bi-Weelky): A fairly weird (and some might say cringeworthy) animation podcasts. It's really entertaining to listen to although it sometimes gets a nit out of hand with some of the topics they handle, but it is a fairly entertaining and somewhat informative experience in my opinion.
Completely Unnecesary Podcast (Bi-Weekly): A videogame podcast with focus on retro gaming. Pat Contri and Ian Ferguson give their opinion on the current news as well as give their thoughts on retrogaming, gamestop, scumbag sellers on Ebay and retro game collecting.
The Spin off Doctors: Jim Sterling (Of Jimquisition fame) and Conrad Zimmerman take a look the horrendusly hilarious world of movie aaptations about videogames.
Thursday:
So here's the deal. This is the only day of the week that none of the podcasts I regularly listen to publish, and as such I have to resort to a combination of older episodes of my favorite ones and trying some new ones, so I'll just put the non regularly scheduled ones I listen to here.
Attitude Era Podcast: Kefin Mahon, Billy Keable and Adam Bibilo take a look at the most profitable period on Professional Wrestling as well as modern day attemps to bring it back, as of this writing they're just wrapping up the Invasion storyline. Its a fun listening experience all arround.
How2Wrestling: Kefin Mahon takes Jo Graham in a journey to learn about the magical and zany world of Pro Wrestling. A really good podcast if you want to get into the sport but don't know where to start.
The Lapsed Fan Wrestling Podcast: Jack Encarnassio and JP Sarro take a look at the WWE network catalog and talk about what was happening at the time of each PPV. It has by far the longest runtime of all the ones I listen to (runing 5hrs on average per episode) but the amount of historical information and investigative works is very impressive. Although it comes with the warning that some of the subjects they touch upon are very sensitive.
El Precipicio (Mexican): Perhaps the most niche and obscure reccomendation you'll find on this list. The hosts talk about world history and many other topics with their acid sense of humor, with enfasis of the world's biggest dictatros. It's ciertainly an experience to be listened to.
Friday:
Important If True: Every week Chris Remo, Nick Breckon and Jake Rodkin talk about the most baffling and insane stuff in the world. From robots to poo stories to the 45 human bains that control human society and traveled back to the spanish revolution only to be executed and re discovered in 2017. That's pretty much as good as I can summarize it.
Idle Thumbs (Monthy): Chris Remo, Nick Breckon and Jake Rodkin talk about videogames (not Jake Rodkin) and give their own insight into game development. It is fascinating and interesting and I can no reccomend it enough
Co-Optional Podcast: Every week Totalbiscuit, Dodger from Dex Bonus and Jesse Cox alongside a guest talk about what they've been playing, news and recommendations of videogames. It is fairly entertaining and chances are you're likely to finde some cool videogames to check out.
Podquisition: Jim Sterling, Laura K. Dale and Gavin "Miracle of Sound" Dunne talk about the week on games while bringing their particular style of humor. That being said I feel like this one is a case of "you like it or you dont" but I say is funny and fairly entertaining, so give it a check.
Saturday:
Giant Beastcast: Similarly to the Giant Bombcast, the crew from Giant Bomb east talk about videogame releases, the news and beautiful postcars. Give it a try.
E&C's Pod of Awesomenes: Pro Wrestling legend Edge (and Christian) talk about their expiriences in profesional wrestling, bringing in guests from all over the world to talk about their carreers, some current ppv's, hockey and TOMMAY Dreamer talking about his own experiences on the independets. Very funny and insightful to listen to.
Well, there you have it, that0s pretty much my week on podcasts. I hope you find something you like on there.
