Podcast recommendations (Auto, science)?
 
I just (finally!) discovered the joy of podcasts during my boring return commute... Looking for more recommendations in the fields of funny, cars, or science..

Here are mine so far:

1- The carmudgeon show: Very funny - jason camissa from R&T and his cohort with encyclopedic car knowledge, talking $hit and expressing strong opinions on cars

2- Collecting car with chris harris: The chris haris from top gear, good guests..but no new episodes lately..

3- Spike's car radio: spike feresten is a comedy writer (worked for Seinfeld so lots of guest appearances from jerry) and porsche collector - so lots of porsche tallk (from speedsters to taycans) along with cohost zuckerman who also collects Porsches, generally funny regardless of guests

4-Autoweek podcast: when I run out of the above, very guest dependent, not funny but depending on the guest can be really good (just listened to an sp on Merlin engines, very cool)

5- Smoking tire - hosted by matt farah, sometimes feels like too much on watches or food or expensive lifestyle stuff or his new business, but he drives lots of cars and can be funny - depends on the content and guest but also not bad...

anyone else on the science, funny, or automobile topics ??? TIA!

Star Talk with Neil deGrasse Tyson. He's got a regular sidekick (Chuck Nice - somewhat of a comic) on each episode, and typically has a guest (the "Star") where they talk science, physics, astronomy, etc.) I've been listening to it for the last year or so, have only had 1 or 2 episode that I didn't find interesting. Listen to the one with Edward Norton for starters.

I like the under the hood car show: people call in to mechanics for troubleshooting advice
Freakonomics is another fav

I have been on the look out for some better finance and science/technology options but havent found anything great yet.

Joe Rogan Experience.

The one with Rich Benoit was interesting. Rich rebuilt a flooded Tesla. Goes into decent detail about the software of the car.

Are the car talk shows available on podcasts? Those were fantastic.
