So I'm saving up my podcasts for my upcoming road trip. Are there any podcasts that you listen to that are beyond awesome?
Just so you know my flavor, here's my top ten:
1) This American Life
2) Keith and the Girl
3) RadioLab
4) 99% Invisible
5) Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me
6) The Thinking Atheist Podcast
7) Freakonomics
8) Answer Me This
9) Nerdist Podcast
10) 2 Dope Queens
Let me know some of your faves, and describe them a bit.

I'd recommend Waking Up by Sam Harris, but I'm pretty sure you've heard of it, and if it isn't there by now... Well...

God Awful Movies is one of my absolute favorites. It's made by the guys from The Scathing Atheist and it's the same type of irreverent humor aimed at religion, but this podcast is just reviews of religious movies.

All the Ricky gervais podcasts.
The joe rogan experience.
Stefan molyneux.
True murder.
Serial.
Sword and scale.
I'll make the descriptions short.
Ricky gervais is a comedian who works with Karl pilkington and Steve merchant.
Joe rogan is a ufc commentator, he interviews fighters, comedians, Neil de grease Tyson has been on there Louis Theroux has been on there and steve o, Russell brand and so On.
He has a mix of political guests too who seem to go from totally opposite sides of the spectrum, he had Stefan molyneux on there then a woman from the young turk on there for example. Milo has been on there, the gay blonde conservative. And I saw the most left wing lawyer ever on there.
True murder is about true murder, it's obviously a serious podcast but it's also funny to me because the guy who makes then always fucks up somehow and gets nervous, it's difficult to describe but it is a good podcast I just happen to also get a laugh out of the amateurishness of it.
Stefan molyneux is a fee market libertarian anarchist who does a philosophy show, he's an athiest, he does talks about not hitting your children, the non aggression principle, racial topics, politics and so on.
He's been accused of being a cult leader type character.
Serial is another true crime one.
Sword and scale again is true crime. Probably my favourite true crime one.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

I have listened to every episode of Serial, and have listed to some episodes of Joe Rogan, I like him, not the podcast. I like the Ricky Gervais stuff with Karl Pilkington, that's hilarious.
Molyneux sounds like not my cup of tea.
I'll check out Sword and Scale and True Murder. Thanks!

The Skeptics Guide To The Universe - Three brothers (the host being a brilliant clinical neurologist), an ex-mormon (also Bill Maher's ex) and an ex-jew discuss science and skepticism, they have like 5000 episodes by now...
Stuff to Blow your Mind - a very wide range of fascinating topics from arts, science, history, biology, psychology, not too heavy.
For lighter entertainment, Neil deGrasse Tyson's StarTalk
God Awful Movies and Scathing Atheist have been mentioned - brilliant and so non-pc you might have to faint
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

I should start getting into this stuff as well. Perhaps I'll start with a series on cosmology or whatever.

It's not a podcast but I used to listen to this on long journeys.
The mighty boosh radio show.
The humour is a bit random and took me a while to get into it. But when I did I was thinking why didn't I listen to this before.
