Yeah, I'm that person: the one weirdo that actually listens to podcasts. But, if you want my opinion, here are five of my all-time favorite podcasts (in no particular order, of course).

1. Stuff They Don't Want You to Know

This is the podcast that I listen to most often, and I think it's my favorite out of all of these. The topics they cover include everything from the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, to UFOs, and if you're interested in conspiracy theories, true crime or anything in between, you'd be a fool not to listen to them at least once. I promise you'll be hooked.

2. Stuff You Should Know

Another podcast under the "How Stuff Works" umbrella, this one deals with completely random topics to current events. Typically, the episodes are kind of hit or miss for me (either I'm interested in the topic that day, or I just pick an older episode). However, they have such a vast selection that you're bound to find something you'll like.

3. Ridiculous History

I recently discovered this podcast from an ad on a different one, and I've loved it ever since. This one is very similar to "Stuff They Don't Want You to Know" (it's made by some of the same people), but instead of being mysterious and foreboding, some of the topics this podcast covers are just as the title implies: ridiculous. You'll definitely get a kick out of this one if you're a history buff that wants to explore some more niche things.

4. Serial Killers

This is the podcast that I probably listen to the least, not because it's bad (on the contrary), it's just a little freaky. They have voice actors who play very convincing serial killers. This podcast deals with the murder cases and the psychology behind why they were committed, which really fascinates me.

5. Dear Sugars

If you're looking for advice or just need a comforting "conversation," I highly recommend "Dear Sugars." This podcast addresses the heartaches of its fans and has made me cry on numerous occasions. These guys tell it like it is.
