Kinda guilty pleasure in DOPEY podcast, bunch of drug addicts telling their worst addiction stories. Totally hit and miss but the urge to "tell us your craziest story about being a white Crips member working as a male hooker addicted to kratom in Las Vegas" is kinda admirable and gets to some good places. Brace Beldon shows up every once in a while to spiel. Music Book Podcast covers some good writers talking about how they wrote their books. Dogpatch is a couple of too-clever-for-anyone's-good soul/hip hop guys (Dante Carfagna and Jon Kirby) discussing micro-genres that basically only exist in their own record collecting minds. Pretty funny and consistently listenable. Timbaland and Memphis Rap episodes stand out in my mind. And story of going to raid a historic collector's collection.

    Eric O these all sound great. Especially DOPEY. I like the concept of the GUYS podcast and really enjoyed the rockabilly one, but I don't think I could listen to any episode that doesn't include Brace. Him calling Nick Cave the biggest dork of the twentieth century got a big LOL

      I enjoy Justin Pearson's APOLOGY podcast. I don't think he does it in anymore but he basically sits down and starts the conversation about literature and it usually goes to some super interesting places. Guests have included Sam McPheeters, Bonnie Prince Billy, Ian Svenonius Johnny Ryan, Bill Callahan, Lucy Sante, Cosey Fanni Tutti, Tom Scharpling, Jarvis Cocket, etc.

      I got some earbuds last year for work and started listening to Sports Bizarre [https://sportsbizarre.com/].
      An interesting and sometimes laugh out loud look at the weird side of sports, covers everything from obscure 18th Century English village games to wife swapping baseball players. Keeps me well entertained.

        Jonny YenAgain put this on the list when I get back from Mexico City and back on the chopsaw trying to stay entertained while also attempting to keep all my digits

          Listened to the recent ep with Chris Ashford of What Records fame. Forever a sucker for any 70s LA punk spiel.

              The one before with Stevenson amd milo from Descendents is good too. It gets testy talking about Ginn.

              I agree not always the best host, but has good guests occasionally.

                  I only listen to eps with guests I haven't really heard interviewed. The interviewer is a weird one, sometimes he really organically pulls an interesting conversation out of people, other times he treats them like gods, which feels extra weird in the punk 'sphere'.
