"Ultra" is a great (award-winning) podcast on Nazis in America, crimes, and big things which are now forgotten.

 
Your Stupid Opinions by the guys from crime in sports and small Town Murder where they share hilarious reviews.

Current episode I'm listening to at the moment they are doing reviews of the grand canyon and and a guy calls it mid. LoL

I appreciate this one.

Anyone else pick up any new ones? Doing some summer traveling soon and need some new blood.

No idea. I've never listened to one. I just read.
To each their own, but while driving I have found it harder to digest material through reading vs. listening to that material on a podcast. I find all the honking and motion distracting.

I appreciate a good book as much as anyone but there’s some amazing content in podcasts if you want to learn about something, particularly history.

There's an episode after the Grand Canyon one where James read the review and I yelled "MID!" at the same time Jimmie did.

That pod has changed how I read reviews. Had my parents cracking up when we were looking for places to eat one night. "If I could give it zero stars...I WOULD!"

Some of the Personal Items of the Week choices are...definitely odd.

If you're into comedy, The Dollop has some great episodes. The recent stuff is hit or miss but their older stuff is pretty great throughout, so picking and choosing what to listen to is worth it. Must listens include, but aren't limited to:

#12 - The Rube
#15 - Ten Cent Beer Night
#46 - Cereal Men
#200 - Otto in the Attic
#250 - The Phantom of the Open
#323 - 1908 New York to Paris Car Race

The information people share in the personal item reviews is ... overwhelming. And unsettling.

THERE WILL BE POOP! :)

Couple favorite moments are a KFC where a woman called to complain about a wrong order and manager said suck my **** and woman replied back you can suck mine.

Another was a personal item that led to a girl losing consciousness and having to go to a hospital and came to at hospital to people there saying "that's **** girl"

Another great one was a meltdown review to a Chicago museum after they were told to "check the website"

The Taco Bell reviews from outside the US are great, too.

"I went there and had diarrhea!"

"Yep, that's Taco Bell."

If you want to go meta, listen to "A Very Fatal Murder".

It's a satirical spoof of the True Crime Podcast genre. It skewers all of the cliches that we've come to know. Definitely tongue in cheek and funny. I believe it was made by The Onion.

I found Necronomipod. True Crime, paranormal, conspiracy theories, some even some history... And the guys' banter cracks me up. A lot.

Don't judge me if you don't like it though. Their humor is probably over the top.. and not safe for the family.

Anyone got anything new? Anything off the wall or just interesting? I’m a history guy but gotten away from some things I need to get back into.
