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/
