   What's a good podcast to have on at work these days? Ideally around tech but not overly US-centric and def no techbro energy, social justice, and probs arts.
   I'm determined to make podcasts happen in my life, but if I have to hear one more smarmy US podcaster giggle at some quip about some serious topic or an other or attempt "humour" I will lose my actual shit

     @Shrigglepuss You might like The Dig, which is admittedly US-centric, bit they do venture beyond that occasionally. Their recent series ('Thawra') on Arab revolutionary politics in the 20th century was phenomenal for example.

     @Shrigglepuss For philosophy, I've enjoyed episodes both of Revolutionary Left Radio (e.g. their Dialectics Deep Dive series) and What's Left of Philosophy.

     This Machine Kills does a lot of good stuff IMO, but is probably too jokey (and US-centric) a lot of the time though when they hit they hit hard.

     @Shrigglepuss though for the RevLeft, you'll have to be open to listening to extended quotes from both Mao and Stalin for example.
