I’m not affiliated with the podcast at all, but I saw it recommended on Reddit and after listening to two episodes, I’ve become a patreon. It has the best of ReplyAll’s in depth research of weird shit without the drama. The last episode about Cooler Ranch Doritos has the same feeling as the Forgotten Hit episode of ReplyAll that everyone loved from a year ago.
Reply All’s “The Case of the Missing Hit” gets a lot of mentions on this sub but, I want to highlight “Rob” from Heavyweight.
For those of you unfamiliar with the show, the host Jonathan Goldstein helps others resolve something from their past in each episode.
Episode #16 “Rob,” has Jonathan helping actor and comedian Rob Corddry. Rob’s daughter breaks her arm in the exact same way that he broke his arm as a child. But, when Rob shares this with his family, no one remembers him ever breaking his arm at all.
It’s funny, engrossing, and ultimately very sweet. It’s an episode I always recommend to people who are thinking of getting into the show, or just podcasts in general.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did (and still do)
I recently found an amazing podcast called Well Actually, that does episodes based on movies, games, anything nerd related, but it is easily the funniest podcast I’ve ever heard. Give it a try, I’m not related to this podcast at all, just a huge fan

Thank you to whomever recommended the podcast Underunderstood. So enjoy listening to the episodes !
The title. I want to make sure the podcasters get the benefits instead of the platforms themselves.
The best example I know of is A Natural History of the Senses by Dianne Ackerman. What I thought would be an evolutionary anatomy lesson turned out to be a beautiful examination of how humans experience the world and why.
I’m looking for a book about Muslim empires, in which they aren’t villains, it seems like in all books they are.
Edit: Can we stop with the Islamaphobia, I was just looking for some good reads btw thanks to everyone who responded with great suggestions.
I am not much of a reader, but read some good reviews for Dark matter, and man I really did underestimated reading books over movies. That was one hell of a rollercoaster for someone who read a fiction for the first time. Then I got to the Recursion, same energy. I wanted to read the pines series too but its quite long and i got academics too. So something less than 500 pgs.
I liked how the biography didn’t only talk about his work but also the type of person he and his family were. I’ve looked for biographies on other contemporaries but usually they are politically based and focus on one aspect of their life. If anyone has some ideas I’d be so grateful!
(Note: I’ve also read Chernow’s Washington biography)
