The central theme of You Are Not So Smart is that you are unaware of how unaware you are which leads you to becoming the unreliable narrator in the story of your life. You Are Not So Smart is a fun exploration of the ways you and everyone else tends to develop an undeserved confidence in human perception, motivation, and behavior.

Valley Heat - a podcast from a freelance insurance adjuster about the goings on in his neighborhood. The primary story focuses on his mission to find out who is using his recycling bin as a drug drop.

Fighting in the War Room - four long time friends discuss film and other pop culture; it’s just a lot of fun hearing four people who clearly respect and love each other talk about the latest movies and shows!

Please Stop TalkingA bunch of youtubers (SirMeowMusic, Noodle, Mandalore Gaming, Brendaniel, etc) get together and tell hilarious stories. There has yet to be an episode I’ve listened to where I didn’t leave laughing. They even do other types of shows beyond PST. They talk about watching horror movies (and also Bob’s Burgers) in Pondering Spooky Tapes, they just aired a pilot for a new gaming podcast called Press Turbo Start, and they’re about to start up a new DnD campaign in Perilous Storytelling.

How Did This Get Made Three mostly comedic actors rip apart famously bad movies. Funnier than it has any right to be. Paul also has another podcast called Unspooled where they break down critically acclaimed movies as well. Both are great listens. hdtgm.com/index/#podcast
