Imaginary Advice with Ross Sutherland is like a weekly audio experiment. Sometimes in storytelling, sometimes philosophy, sometimes criticism, but always extraordinarily creative.

GoodFellows: Conversations from the Hoover Institution

Conversations with Bill Kristol
A well respected former republican politician discusses many American centric issues/historical issues still relevant today with authors/experts
I enjoyed the Hoover Institution interviews with Thomas Sowell. Do you have some other favorites from that series?
If you ever want something a little lighter, I'd recommend "The Fifth Column Podcast". They discuss current events and the media, usually with a few cocktails and lots of obscure references, and much of it is pretty hilarious.
Peter Robinson is a great interviewer in my opinion and Sowell and him seem to have great chemistry. (The online/Zoom episodes coming out in recent months definitely lack this fluidity).
I would recommend the "Good Fellows" podcast series which i briefly described. I like most of them sorry I don't have specific episodes in mind.
Pen Addict- one of my longest running must listens. I get an hour a week of people I've known online talking pens and to some extent many things analog. I spent a lot of time writing on paper and with fountain pens. It's very cathartic.
Small Town Murder- a couple of comedians from Phoenix prove that they know nothing about small towns, agriculture, or geography. What they do have is a couple hours of ripping good time making fun of small town and historical missteps. It's one of our favorite driving podcasts. We've been nomads for the past 3+ years. We do a lot of driving, especially post pandemic.
Behind The Bastards - Takes a look at terrible people throughout history and what made them terrible. It doesn't typically focus on well known individuals, which makes it interesting - https://behindthebastards.com
Behind The Police - Hosted by Robert Evans, the same guy behind Behind the Bastards. This is a mini series of sorts that deals with the history of policing in the US
