Post-podcast interview:
Some podcasts that Jim Rugg likes.

I like Radiolab a lot. My favorite episodes are the one about War of the Worlds, Color, and From Tree to Shining Tree (about the way that trees communicate using fungi – I’ve probably listened to this more than any other podcast episode).

The Higherside Chats – conspiracy interview show, quality varies depending on how interesting the guest is.

Lots of wrestling podcasts: the best is Something to Wrestle with Bruce Prichard. Prichard was part of Vince McMahon’s top creative team for 25 years (80s-2000s). Each episode the host and Prichard just go over one thing like a noteworthy pay-per-view or some specific wrestler. It’s fascinating if that sort of storytelling interests.

Action Boyz – which developed out of High and Mighty and is now a weekly Patreon podcast. 3 meatheads review 80s/90s action movies to my delight.
