So, I need some podcasts. My job requires hours and hours of just sitting around, doing nothing and staring off into space for 8 hours. So, can someone recommend me some good podcasts?
I like ones about Movies, Miniature gaming, Random topics and so forth. Hell, Audio Dramas could help too. just something to help me not loose my sanity.

**BobtheInquisitor**

Adam Corolla? Does Norm MacDonald have a podcast?

**Cheesecat**

WTF with Marc Maron, my brother likes Giant Bombcast.

**Snake Tortoise**

The Joe Rogan Experience (general life, comedy, science, sports, all sorts depending on the guest)

The Long War (wargaming, mostly 40k)

**Wyrmalla**

One of Kevin Smith's dozen odd ones? Smodcast.

You could also just sit and listen to years of Loveline.

**nels1031**

Dan Carlins Hardcore History.

Some are free, his older ones are monetized. They are worth every penny.

**The Grumpy Eldar**

RT Podcast. They got around 400 of them now. Plus they are in both video and mp3 to from 200 and up I thought. Lots of topics and randomness, nothing about wargaming though. All of them are free. Only an subscription option if you want to see it a few days earlier/live.

**Paradigm**

The Weekly Planet is a good one, mostly focused on comic book movies but usually covers all sorts of fantasy/sci-fi films, the odd bit on video games and TV shows, always very funny.

**Easy E**

I am a fan of the Ancient Military History Podcast, but it can be a bit dry sometimes.

**jreilly89**

Are you into D&D? Brian Possehn hosts a D&D playthrough podcast called Nerd Poker.

It ended after about 160 1 hour episodes, but is rumored to be coming back.

**A Town Called Malus**

If you have access to Spotify, you can find some free audiobooks on there, mostly older books though.

Currently listening to Dracula, narrated by Christopher Lee.

**Mr Morden**

I enjoy this one

https://www.thebritishhistorypodcast.com/

History the way it is meant to be heard.

History is human. History is drama. History is our story, and it belongs to all of us.

The BHP is a chronological retelling of the history of Britain with a particular focus upon the lives of the people. You won't find a dry recounting of dates and battles here, but instead you'll learn about who these people were and how their desires, fears, and flaws shaped the scope of this island at the edge of the world.

This show is intended to be listened to in order, if you start with the most recent episode you will almost certainly become lost. So if you're new, why don't you listen to the first episode and find out what the show is all about. If you're eager to begin learning about Britain right away... check out episode two which will take you a whirlwind tour of prehistoric Britain. And of course, make sure you take advantage of the Official Way to Listen to the Show.

How Did This Get Made? All about bad movies.

**Dreadwinter**

The Adventure Zone, you are welcome.

"Justin, Travis and Griffin McElroy from My Brother, My Brother and Me have recruited their dad Clint for a campaign of high adventure. Join the McElroys as they find their fortune and slay an unconscionable number of ... you know, kobolds or whatever in ... The Adventure Zone."

There is also The Worst Idea of All Time

"The Worst Idea Of All Time is a podcast hosted by Guy Montgomery and Tim Batt, two New Zealand comedians who watched Grown Ups 2 once a week, every week for a year. The duo then watched Sex and The City 2 52 times. They are currently watching WE ARE YOUR FRIENDS. 52 times."

Like, about the background of these movies?
Because that sounds right up my alley.

I second this. They're enjoyable, and quite informative too. I really like the ones about the Mongol Empire.

**Lord Oja**

A word in your ear http://www.abc.net.au/local/podcasts/inyourear.xml
One done by Roly Suxxex about Linguistics, word history, pronoucations around the world etc
I find him quite interesting.

If you have the disposable income, you could also consider getting an Audible account. Quite a few of the books I got from it are at least 15 hours long.

Right how do I sign up for this?

Alternatively, get their 30 day free trial. That gives you a token you can redeem for any book you want.

Then go to cancel your subscription and they'll offer some sweeteners to keep you around, one of which is another free token. Use that one, download the books and stick them on an iPod or other device of your choosing and then cancel your subscription. Congrats, you've got 2 free audiobooks!

You can then repeat this with a different debit/credit card. It's how I got Terry Pratchett's Bromeliad Trilogy in a digital format (also have them on cassette tape

).

**Necroagogo**

Screen Junkies Movie Fights, Distraction Pieces and Revisionist History are all ones I fall back on for my long daily commute. All available on iTunes, if that's your thing.

Go to the salvation army and ask to ring a bell.
