Also, if anyone's catching up with The Dollop and picking and choosing which episodes they listen to, the Ronald Reagan 2 partner is a must.

I'd been recommended The Dollop as 'omg you should totally listen to this' material, I downloaded a few episodes and...omg you should totally listen to this.
The basic format is the two hosts discussing weird and interesting stories from American history. One researches a different story each episode and tells it to the other, whose reaction is normally "...wait...he did what?!".
Episodes I've listened to so far are:
Ten Cent Beer Night
The Rube
The Two Daredevils and
The Dolphin (probably the weirdest one so far).
Defo worth checking out.
Does anyone have any other recommendations?
I’ve also recently started listening to that.
The Jackson Cheese was strawberry floating crazy and also hilarious.
Their Trump episodes were good at showing just what a piece of gooseberry fool he is (as if we didn’t already know).
The Jackson Cheese is next on my list
I can just imagine what they're like with Trump
Wish I'd started listening to it before now, they played some UK dates a few weeks ago and would have been brilliant to see them covering local stuff.
Yeah (as Minty says) the UK ones were good, they are available as a separate podcast.
I’ve listened to them out of order but have started going back to the first ones. I listened to the Thanksgiving one last night, strawberry float me that “celebration” has horrific origins.

A really good episode for first time listeners too.

Picked this up based on your post and it's excellent, definite recommend from me.

The Dollop is classic, I've listened to a few. Here's my recommendations:
72 - The Hanford Radiation Nightmare
167 - The History of NY Sanitation
169 - Disco Demolition Night
193 - When The Cars Came
194 - The Girl Watchers
270 - Forgotten Fleet Walker
323 - 1908 New York to Paris Car Race
361 - The Truck Nuts War
362 - Moving Day
404 - Jan Pieterszoon Coen
I haven't listened to any for a bit, though, because the references to today's political situation in so many episodes was harming my mental state. It's a great show, I'll probably listen to more soon, but it can get heavy. It might be years before I can bring myself to listen to the Trump episodes.

Anyone else listen to My Brother My Brother & Me? The latest episodes have been brilliant.

My favourite bisexual podcast.

It's one of the best things that I've ever listened to. Spot on about first time listeners as well, I downloaded it for my daughter as well and she loved it

A work colleague listens to this and because it has an utterly stupid name, I refer to it as The Big Brother podcast.

But Justin doesn't have any big brothers, only regular brothers.
It's one of the few consistently bright spots in my world and I love it.
