Reddit for me was a place to develop niche hobbies and talk about them with other people without having to overwhelm the people around me with opinions on pottery or which is the clackiest keyboard imaginable.

Some I’ve been listening to lately:

• Hard Fork - podcast about technology and science from the NYTimes that does a pretty good job of being varied and interesting.
• Search Engine - newer podcast by PJ Vogt from Reply All about understanding weird or poorly understood topics.
• Darknet Diaries - IT security stories, hacking, and red vs blue team defense of infrastructure.
• Behind the Bastards - Stories about terrible people and their effect on society. Start with the Dulles Brothers or Kissinger.
• Mother Country Radicals - Limited series about key members of the Weather Underground during the civil rights era.
