For Skeptic's Guide I just really enjoy the chemistry between the hosts and how the show has continued strong for over 500 episodes, even with one host passing away.
Bilingual news is funny because the hosts choose bizarre news to cover and manage to get on strange tangents in their discussion. It's half English half Japanese.
I don't actually enjoy crime stories usually, but Serial was absolutely gripping.
Radiolab is the peaceful thing I would choose to listen to on a bicycle ride back from the beach while the sun is setting behind the mountains.
5-8 are the opposite, high-energy startup motivational podcasts to get you pumped up.
"Lou Reads the Internet" is a podcast where the host tries to find the most disturbing content on the net and reads it out loud. It's the 4chan of podcasts, I listen to it sometimes while shopping just to add a bizarre flavor to the otherwise mundane experience.
