Overcast might be worth a try?
I use Overcast. I don't know why Apple updated their podcast app to make it basically unusable. Overcast is basically the same as the the iPhone one was when it was good.
I didn't know there were other apps with more content, but I struggle to keep up with the stuff I want to listen to now. I've basically given up on any new True Crime style ones now.
I've just started the writer Michael Lewis' podcast about 'referees' - not really about sport but within the general world. I think it's called Against the Rules. And I've found History Unplugged again (I listened to an episode or two a few years back and then forgot about it) which has a great and long back catalogue now!

@dogmeat sort of linked, i went to a NASA exhibition in Brisbane that was pretty great. A lot focused on the early days of the space race. One great bit was some models, and just the audio of the landing played on a loop. Still gives you tingles listening to it "the eagle has landed"
Is that the one at the museum? Might pop along at some stage to fill some time, cheers!
yea, it's not too bad. Some interesting stuff. And it's just great to follow the story along.

@Stockcar86 freakanomics has just uploaded a podcast up about 23 and me
I listened to a good podcast about DNA testing, especially good when they discuss the limitations/accuracy etc - I think it was on Reply All.

It had a different focus than I expected. Surprised to learn the head of 23 and me was married to one of the founders of google and her sister is the clown that runs YouTube.
There’s some obvious issues with their data harvesting.

My latest podcasts
Dr Death - True story that is fucking crazy. If you like seriel or the david bain one you will like this.
Business Wars - You dont have to be into business to enjoy. It basically is usually a 4 or 5 part series looking at the fights two big compeititors went through over the years eg Playstation vs xbox, Mcdonalds vs BK, Lambo vs Ferrari
The same company also has started a new show called Sports Wars it first series was about Aaron Rodgers vs Farve, latest series is Fed vs Nadal. Traces them from childhood. Ads can be a bit annoying but I like.
Also listened to Casefile. Have only listened to the series about Silkroad but it was really interesting and I thought pretty well done. If you like that check out the episode on my favorite Podcast called reply allhere is the link https://gimletmedia.com/shows/reply-all/dvhd9k/136-the-founder
Also check this out its two part episode from the same podcast https://gimletmedia.com/shows/reply-all/6nh3wk/102-long-distance
In regards to different podcast players many shows are now on spotify too.

Cheers, they look great , will definitely check out the business wars and sports wars.
Already read the story of Doctor Death, its awful. The same company did the Aaron Hernandez story which is pretty good.

@Magpie_in_aus My favourite Reply All is the two episodes where they track down the Indian computer 'fixing' scammers. That's just great story telling.

@Nepia yeah that's the second one I linked it was an epic twist at the end of the first one.
Ah cool, I didn't check the links.
Some of the Yes, Yes, No's are great too, there's whole sub-cultures out there I had no idea existed.

I’m looking forward to someone doing a podcast about the Larpers that got killed with a crossbow a week or so ago . That’s a real wtf and larpers are odd to start with .
I just learned what a mgtow is , I’m sure they’ll be early adopters of sex robots.![alt text](image url)

If this was an episode of Yes, Yes, No I would be a 100% No. I don't understand a single word of this post.

I'm burning through these in release order ... the issue I have with the Netflix v Blockbuster one is that he just drops Blockbuster midway through and moves to HBO. I thought I missed an episode where he completes the battle between those two but nope.
Great podcast, although I do find the jumping around in the story a but jarring ... works for Nolan films, but not so much in a podcast. Currently starting DC v Marvel after finishing the Adidas v Nike. By fudge I hate how the Americans pronounce Adidas - almost as much as I hate how Australians pronounce H.

Calling LEGO legos is far more irritating imho . The blockbuster one was good , so was the story behind red bull .
I’ve been listening to timesuck, they are decent but I can’t listen to too many in a row .
Tommy Chong was on Rogan today unsurprisingly an 81 year old stone has a tenuous grip on reality.

I'll give Timesuck a listen.
I'll pause on Business Wars this weekend as I have my usual weekly podcasts to listen to, probably a good plan as I might get sick of the presenter if I keep going.

Did you ever check out History on fire,? I know some people hate his accent but it doesn’t bother me.

No, I don't remember that suggestion, but I have been listening to History Unplugged which I think you suggested?

Yeah history unplugged is good . I think I mentioned history on Fire a while back , the guy has an Italian accent which puts some people off.
