Fear the Boot, an unfortunately infrequent but excellent RPG discussion podcast. Don’t let the absurd name put you off, the discussions are top notch.
Origin Story, a really great podcast going in to the history of things. Mostly political ideologies (a recent episode was entitled “the myth of cultural Marxism — anatomy of a conspiracy theory”, for example, but their episodes on Neoliberalism and Centrism were also excellent), but also often political figures (the scathing review of Ayn Rand was very amusing, and the more recent Elon Musk episodes were rather enlightening), and the occasional lighter one (like the origin of Super Heroes and more recently Doctor Who). It’s a podcast with few enough episodes and a slow enough release schedule (they do a few episodes one per week, then take a long season break) that it’s really worth going back through the archives to listen to older episodes.
Most of the episode just helped reinforce what I already understood to be the case. But I thought one particularly interesting bit was about how he never really had his dad’s approval, and seeking it (whether consciously or not) is likely a part of why he is how he is.

The musk one sounds interesting… what were your main takeaways?

Sounds interesting thanks
