True stories from the dark side of the Internet
TehBamski, I highly recommend Darknet Diaries.
I enjoy all of the episodes in one way or another. But here are a few of my recommendations.
Ep 36: Jeremy from Marketing - “A company hires a penetration tester to pose as a new hire, Jeremy from Marketing, to see how much he can hack into in his first week on the job. It doesn’t go as planned.”
Ep 14: #OpJustina - “In 2013 a hospital was accused of conducting a medical kidnapping against a young girl named Justina. This enraged many people across the country, including members of Anonymous. A DDOS attack was waged against the hospital.”
Ep 24: Operation Bayonet - "Darknet markets are online black markets. They are highly illegal, and dangerous to run. Hear exactly how dangerous it was for Alphabay and Hansa dark markets.
Ep 29: Stuxnet - “Stuxnet was the most sophisticated virus ever discovered. It’s target was a nuclear enrichment facility in Iran. This virus was successfully able to destroy numerous centrifuges. Hear who did it and why.”
assa123, I love Darknet Diaries. I want to recommend one in the same genre, Modem Mischief.
hushable, Xbox underground is great story too.
I had a friend working at Microsoft in the Xbox division during that time who recommended me that podcast.
Couldbealeotard, The Stuxnet episode was really good. Shows how a virus can be properly weaponised.
berlincruising, Oooo Jeremy from marketing was very fun, gonna keep on listening! Thank you!
PP_BOY_, Dead Rabbit Radio, been shamelessly shilling it (not my podcast and I’m not affiliated with it any any way) for the better part of five years. Daily paranormal and weird news episodes and Jason Carpenter doesn’t have all the cringey seriousness that most high strangeness podcasts have.
ChonkyOwlbear, Strict Scrutiny
A breakdown of the inside politics of the Supreme Court and the cases before them.
cheese_greater, What do you think of Legal AF with Popok?
ChonkyOwlbear, I’m not familiar but I will have to check it out.
Heliumfart, Sean Carroll - mindscape
Fraser Cain - universe today
David Eagleman - inner cosmos
PastyWaterSnake, In a similar vein, I’d like to recommend Skeptics Guide To The Universe. Mostly focused on science news and critical thinking. I believed they’ve interviewed Sean Carroll several times in the past as well.
It’s been around for 18 years, and they have a very rigid format that may not be for everyone, but I personally really like the organization of it
Heliumfart, Yes, fully agree, that’s my Saturday morning special. Also talk nerdy by Cara Santa Maria can be quite nice.

- Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend
- Bonanas for Bonanza because Maria Bamford is an unsung comedy legend
- The Doug Stanhope Podcast
- How Did This Get Made? making fun of bad movies is fun.
- Lovett or Leave It politics with a spoonful of snark

- SmartLess easy listening
- Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me the sign of a true celebrity is appearing on this show.
- Strike Force Five was kinda neat as an insight into unscripted dialogue with competing professionals, but they seemed to gang up on Jimmy Fallon, who, arguably, has the most prestigious late night show.
