I literally got so bored reading this post that I stopped six times and had to start over. It took over four minutes to get to the end.
The newest episode is on Kant's categorical imperative! Geeeeeeet puuuuuumped!
Wait, this is a
philosophy podcast?
General knowledge. Host has on three experts and they discuss the topic. They actually have separate iTunes feeds for (if I remember correctly) "culture" (so literature and art, music, etc.), science, history, and philosophy & religion. There are nearly 800 episodes.

I haven't played S Town yet. Is it worth it?

Kind of. It can leave a weird feeling in your head for a few weeks afterwards if you don't watch out, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Great story with lots of turns. I personally found the host's verbal ticks to be annoying, but that's not a deal breaker.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Host doesn't bother me. I actually kind of like how little production there is compared to other NPR podcasts.

I've loaded up my iPod with old episodes of the memory palace in case I'm 5-7 minutes from home and I finish a longer podcast with time to spare. Nice and short.

I would say, absolutely, yes. Check it out. It's not perfect but it's really gripping and gives the listener a lot to enjoy and also really think about.
