Best podcasts:

Inspiration: 

Power Pizza - Italian friends talk about movies, tv series and games (In Italian) https://www.spreaker.com/show/power-pizza

Funny: 

My dad wrote a Porno - three friends read erotic novels written by the dad of one of them. Hilarious, great chemistry.

Fake Doctors real friends - Zach Braff and Donald Faison (JD and Turk) go over all the Scrubs episodes, they tell you behind the scenes stories, have guests. Must listen for scrubs lovers https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-fake-doctors-real-friends-60367049/

Quirky:

You're dead to me - focuses on historical characters and periods revealing funny anecdotes which are true all taken in context. Hosted by Greg Jenner (Horrible histories) https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07mdbhg/episodes/downloads

No such thing as a fish - from the researchers of TV trivia show QI, the writers get together and chat about a weird and random thing they learnt that week. Hosted by: James Harkin; Andrew Hunter Murray; Anna Ptaszynski; Dan Schreiber https://www.nosuchthingasafish.com/

Short:

Robot or not - average length 3 minutes. Stupid but makes you think. John Siracusa and Jason Snell (both tech freelance journalist) https://www.theincomparable.com/robot/

Interesting:

99% invisible - by Roman Mars. Focuses on design and architecture - shows things that you don’t normally see. Episodes cover one topic. Example: how skateboarding started using empty pools. The radioactive symbol https://99percentinvisible.org/

There are certain lines even Batman won’t cross, but you’ll be surprised about this one. Nintendo was the star of E3 and got us properly hyped with some very special game announcements. Finally Marco has a theory about Instagram, remember you heard it here first! Tune in for all this and more.

Special guest Jay comes back to give us an update on personal media app Reel You and finally we discuss Apple’s announcements from WWDC.

A Special Punny Episode on the transition to Electric Cars!
