FIFYDamnit, FIL
How embarrassing
Edit - I expect it from FIL, as he's listening to choir/BBQ/theater/karaoke/boy scout podcasts instead, but not you RollTold...
Crown, cold topo Chico, half a lime (juiced) and some sweetener... very delicious on a Tuesday night

I don’t listen to scheissing podcasts. People just talking about stuff nonstop? Not a single opinion on earth do I have that much interest in.
I feel like you guys don’t really understand what podcasts are. More power to you if you want to listen to music or whatever, but a podcast isn’t just a radio show with some guys talking and spouting off opinions. There’s literally a podcast about everything. I got started on one about Texas history. I learned more in that 100 hours than a four year history degree would have gotten me. Into murder mysteries and true crime? There’s some great podcasts for that. Business Wars has taught me more about history on so many topics (Nike Adidas, Southwest Air versus American, Beats by Dre, etc). I think you’re selling them short by relegating it to “random hot takes on an assortment of topics”.I'm with you on this. I don't care and I don't have time. If I have the time to listen to something I'd rather be relaxing to some good music not listening to some random hot takes on an assortment of topics which I may or may not care about.
He’s not a tech dork he’s the cohost of the number one sports podcast in the country and he’s doing a bit.
I'm sure we've done this before but I'm not about to wade through this beast to find it so...now that I'm thinking about it... Top 10 Country Music acts, who ya got?
*Note: I tried to avoid crossover artists as much as possible, or else Johnny Cash would've been in the Top 5.

Business Wars from Wondery is great. Cereal Wars was the first one I tried and I really liked it. You can pick any of the topics in any order - they don’t build on each other. The Beats by Dre episodes were surprisingly interesting to me even though I have zero interest in headphones or the music business.Don't get me wrong, I've listened to some of the topic specific ones. When I was making a 12 hour round trip commute every weekend for a work project I listened to several different podcasts. I learned some things and I found some people who were trying too hard to show off knowledge they didn't really have.
At that time most of the stuff I stumbled upon was more along the lines of talk radio programming, opinionated hosts with equally opinionated guests spending hours chattering back and forth. I'm sure that's changed to some extent, but from the stuff I've had recommended to me it doesn't seem like that's the case. On the contrary, it seems like an offshoot of talk radio where every person with a podcast thinks they're an expert on whatever topic they want to talk about.
I'm willing to take recommendations for quality podcasts to change my mind.
