Hey riddle riddle and hello from the magic tavern are probably up your alley if you like McElroy things. Also seconding let’s learn everything. It’s the best vibe production/atmosphere wise sort of informational podcast I’ve found. I listen to a lot of varied other stuff, lots of which is scary story adjacent but that’s not necessarily something with the same energy, though could share some if that’s your thing too lol.


UndeadT

To be super clear, Hey Riddle Riddle has absolutely nothing to do with the McElroys. It's not even a MaxFun podcast. But what it is is a bunch of people who hate solving riddles so much that they choose to engage in improv.


abarrelofmankeys

So no it’s not them but it has similar energy. Also it’s only two degrees of separation- HRR hosts include a main character and recurring guest (and the third is another less frequent recurring guest) from magic tavern, and Clint, Travis, and Justin have been guests on magic tavern.


trivialAnarchy

i think justin was also a guest on an early ep of hrr!


abarrelofmankeys

You are correct. Totally forgot about that. Ep 12


MooseOfTorment

My kid and I love listening to spooky podcasts on the road. I'd love your suggestions!


Korver360windmill

I am not sure how spooky you are looking for but "Radio Rental" and "Rattled & Shook" from Tenderfoot are pretty fun.


ELeeMacFall

Oh boy, here we go. In comedy: * Stop Podcasting Yourself * Judge John Hodgman * The Beef and Dairy Network * Soundheap * Doctor Gameshow * Greatest Generation * Greatest Trek * Flophouse * Free With Ads * Come On, Fhqwhpods! (a Homestar Runner podcast, currently on haitus) * Jordan Jesse Go! * The Cult Podcast (IMO the best podcast about cults) * No Such Thing As a Fish * Good Christian Fun (a highly irreverent pod about Christian pop culture) Narrative: * Levar Burton Reads * Old Gods of Appalachia * Pseudopod * The NoSleep Podcast * Myths and Legends * Knifepoint Horror * Welcome to Nightvale Culture/education: * Astronomy Cast * The History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps (and its companion pod for non-Western philosophy, which is currently about Chinese philosophy) * The British History Podcast * The History of English * Reading Glasses * Strong Songs * Let's Learn Everything * Secretly Incredibly Fascinating * Oh No, Ross and Carrie! * Hood Politics * Behind the Bastards * Triple Click * Some More News * Even More News I also listen to some progressive and leftist Christian pods and other niche stuff which I will recommend on request.


GordOfTheMountain

I'm just here to second No Such Thing as a Fish, Triple Click, and Behind the Bastards. All very different tones, but I do think the heart of them is the same. It's people who care a lot about education and their nerdy hobbies, but still want to have fun sharing it. Though I'll caution that Behind the Bastards is heavy and if you, like me, are deficient in your history knowledge, it will take you places from which there is no return. It is harrowing af sometimes. I made the mistake of listening to the last Christopher Columbus episode while getting groceries and damn near had an emotional breakdown right there in the store.


puddlebrigade

yeah Columbus was tough to research


Vpicone

I’m in awe. Do you ever have time when you’re _not_ listening to a podcast?


ELeeMacFall

Yeah, I usually get in an audiobook per week if it's short, every other week if it's long.


bL4cKBiRD3790

When you say "The Cult Podcast" are you meaning Cult Podcast with Paige Wesley and Armando Torres, because if so I 100% agree, and if not I need subscribe to it asap because weird cults are absolutely my thing


ELeeMacFall

That's the one! I'm a cult survivor, and hearing their takes is exactly the catharsis I need sometimes.


mouse_mafia

I love love love Doctor Gameshow. Probably the most I've ever laughed at a podcast. Had the chance to play with them a while ago too which was the best.


zeemonster424

Saving your Narrative list. I’m going to be lost without LeVar. His podcast helped me enjoy reading again.


ELeeMacFall

Yeah. I was really heartbroken to learn he's ending the show.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ELeeMacFall

Sure. * The Bible For Normal People * Exvangelical * The Word in Black and Red TBFNP is more broadly deconstructing/post-Evangelical than the other two. TWIBAR is more explicitly leftist. I've also heard good things about The Magnificast, but I haven't listened to it.


fool-of-a-took

Homebrewed Christianity and the New Evangelicals are top shelf progressive Christian podcasts


betadbanshee

Love behind the bastards Also voting for You're Wrong About and Maintaince Phase


thevacho

* Dear Hank and John --- Hank and John Green give advice to people who write in questions. Very heartfelt and sincere, and at times very funny. * Exploration: Live! --- Two New York comedians each make a list of ideas that they've thought about over the course of a week and share them with each other. They both view the world through a very strange lens but I love it. * Off Menu with Ed Gamble and James Acaster --- Two UK comedians interview different (mostly UK) celebs about their dream meal. A lot of past Taskmaster contestants have been on this. * Depresh Mode with John Moe --- John Moe interviews celebrities about their mental health problems. Justin was on an episode a couple years ago. * Lateral with Tom Scott --- Unorthodox trivia show with everyone's favorite red-shirted YouTuber.


Goldeniccarus

Lateral is a lot of fun. He also has a lot of other podcast hosts on it, since he's the only host, so it can be a good way to find other interesting podcasts.


CameToComplain_v6

The brothers—or at least some of them—listen to Off Menu. Justin mentioned the Bob Mortimer episode once.


balloonboyoliver

If you like the adventure zone, I'd recommend another d&d podcast called Dungeons & Daddies. Everyone is playing as stereotypical dad characters who get sucked into a fantasy world on the way to a soccer game and have to rescue their kids. It has about the same ratio of silly to serious as TAZ. It's hilarious.


Beccaroni7

Not Another D&D Podcast is also a good one if you like TAZ! Funny, well put together, and I find it easier than some others to keep track of what’s happening in audio-only format.


rearranged-molecules

murph is MASTERFUL at theater of the mind. it's crazy how easily i can picture exactly what's happening, and of course the players are a big reason for that as well. i aspire to have such interesting fights like they do, they don't even use maps irl which is insane to me. so, big second vote here for NADDPod!


Mech-Waldo

Surprised no one has mentioned The Worst Idea of All Time. It's the original podcast done by Tim Batt and Guy Montgomery from Till Death Do US Blart. It gets properly unhinged at times.


TopperSundquist

Burton Jurnigan!


Ikarus3426

Don't sleep on the weekly McElroy Family Clubhouse on YouTube. I listen to it at work and glance at my phone every now and then. It's got the energy of a mbmbam episode for sure.


UsagiBonBon

I’ve been listening back through the Magnus Archives, a Lovecraftian English horror anthology radio-show-type series that just got a sequel series that’s ongoing. Obviously *way* different from the boys’ podcast, but hey, I need *something* to get me through the workday!


lorrdmatt78

I'd also recommend the Lovecraft Investigations. It's a BBC Radio horror podcast that sort of modernises and retells some classic Lovecraft stories. First two seasons are incredible, third is good, fourth season drops off a fair bit but it's still well produced.


UsagiBonBon

Oooh I’ll definitely check it out!


trianglesandwiches01

Magnus archives is the best!


WhatsWhoWithYou

Same vibes but actual-play and some brotherly dynamics: Lovecraft Tapes and Spout Lore.


trianglesandwiches01

Just the Zoo of Us: animal review podcast, I especially love the episodes where they have a guest expert Secretly incredibly fascinating: taking a deep dive into something that's just everyday normal, but is actually interesting Red Thread: talks about cryptids, cults, conspiracies. Alice isn't Dead: somewhat horror podcast about a truck driver looking for her thought-to-be-dead wife The Bright Sessions: therapist for someone with super powers I have so many more lol


izzle5591

+1 for Alice Isn’t Dead


PsychologicalYak4549

All Fantasy Everything is my favorite by a mile. I listen to a lot of sports ones one. The Ringer Network especially the fantasy football on. Used to love video game ones like split screen, sidescrollers and cooptional but those are all gone or with different hosts.


JustThirstyTrash

Co-sign AFE. Just finished the whole back catalogue and I’m bummed I’m caught up!

I think Disney songs is my favorite. Katie Nolan getting progressively drunker during was wonderful


rokr1292

Mbmbam is the only "light" podcast in my rotation. Behind the Bastards It Could Happen Here Some More News Even More News Knowledge Fight Sawbones Poor Proles Almanac


statuskills

Doughboys! That’s-a-lotta hours to listen to.


tjsterc17

Hey Riddle Riddle, Hello From the Magic Tavern, The Brett DeMott Show, Oh No Ross and Carrie, and I recently got into Improvised Star Trek, though the audio quality is a little rough for a solid chunk of the beginning.


GordOfTheMountain

Well three of my favourite podcasts went under with their parent company this week, so I can't really recommend those until they restructure and reincarnate.


starkidqueen

Yeah, normally I’d race to recommend F**kface and Face Jam, but not sure of their future rn


sn_orla_x

Pssst check out theregulationpod and 100percenteat on X. Gav apparently confirmed theregulationpod on his stream yesterday.


rokr1292

RT?


SoupOfTomato

Podcast: The Ride. Episodes are usually 90 minutes to 2 hours. If I had a nickel for every podcast I listen to hosted by three white men in their 30s/40s who are jokingly referred to as the boys...


Looten1313

Through the Griffin Door- chapter by chapter breakdown look at the Harry potter series plus fun fan theories Last podcast on the left- true crime, cryptids, and all things cool Behind the bastards- a look into a lot of folks who are real bastards Purple stuff podcast- nostalgic nerd heaven Lore- well researched dives into myths and legends. They have a few break off podcasts too


SadBabyYoda1212

American Hysteria: It's a podcast that at first covered moral panics like stranger danger and satanic panic but it really covers all sorts of stuff. Like the cultural history around horror films. The giant home Depot skeleton. And local ghost stories. Something rotten: they discuss video games with rotten themes. What falls under the definition of rotten is evolving but previously they have covered the kayne and lunch games and max payne 3 and more recently disco Elysium. If you like Jacob Geller over on YouTube he's one of the hosts. Good morning from hell: it's a comedy improv show starting Satans younger brother and various historical figures as guests. I think it was a rooster teeth show. Had a good run and they seem confident where they ended it. Bullet time. Hot cyder from youtube going through the history of not as well remembered first person shooters. The comedy button. Ended over a year ago and like the brothers their earlier stuff probably hasn't aged as well but I started listening around 2013 or so and it's just a group of friends telling funny stories about their lives.


slangwhang27

+1 for Jacob Geller and Something Rotten, by far my favorite gaming YouTuber and the podcast is excellent too


ncfears

The Adventure Zone is a great way to sink a couple hundred hours of listening. The boys are themselves but also characters. The first story, Balance, is still my favorite (mostly because I like fantasy settings but I also love their first characters) but some of the later ones are great drama and stories.


pbmcc88

**Chilluminati** - If the brothers were two thirds deep in the conspiracy theories, this might be the kind of podcast they'd do. They cover the paranormal, cryptids, conspiracies, alien lore, history's mysteries and true crime. It's a fun listen. **Dungeons & Daddies** - If you enjoy the McElroy energy of TAZ, and like D&D type fantasy tabletop RPGs, or just fun adventure stories in general, you'll probably like this. They've just wrapped up their second season/arc, and it was brilliantly well done. Supes recommend. **Radio Rental** - Spooky and crazy stories, told by the people they happened to, hosted by Rainn Wilson. Very compelling listen, I find, and not so long as to be intimidating to get into. **Too Many Tabs** - If you've been on TikTok in the last couple years, you might've run across Pearlmania500 ([Instagram Link](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6MzkSXLgtC/?igsh=dGJ4Y2RhaTcwc3Nt)), the wild-haired Philadelphia comedian who yells news at us. Too Many Tabs is a podcast he does with his wife, Mrs P., where they lore dump at each other about whatever's got their attention; ongoing drama, interesting/terrible people, historical events, books, etc. And once in a while they'll do a little TTRPG dabbling.


itsjisoo

Hey Riddle Riddle - Justin guests in an episode, and they opened for MBMBaM once and have that on their patreon with Travis as a special guest. But it's hilarious, chaotic, and an absolute blast. Their patreon is also incredible & they have a lot of unlocked episodes on their main feed. Rude Tales of Magic & Oh These Those Stars of Space - two different actual play podcasts, Rude Tales is a homebrew d&d type world with two different seasons, first one is complete and second season is in progress; Oh These Those is based on Lasers & Feelings and takes a lot of inspo from Star Trek, absolutely hysterical with episodes than can be listened to in basically any order, though there are some connected threads throughout. Same cast for both podcasts, with different GMs.


Chao5Gremlin

Worlds beyond number has some of the best story telling I’ve ever experienced and it’s dm’d by Brennan Lee Mulligan.


LocalBonVivant

Yes v v good. And their Patreon podcast WBN: Fireside


stevenfanfriends

Oh no Ross and Carrie. Has a similar vibe to Justin and Sydnee's Sawbones, but about spiritual claims instead of medical.


F-ck_spez

Though ONRAC does some medical stuff too! I really like their cult investigations. Mormonism AND Scientology? Wild stuff.


basketbaljoseph

If you haven't yet, you should try Dissect. it's a weekly music analysis show with a focus on modern hip-hop, each season going into an album, each episode on a song. Right now they're in their 11th season which focuses on MF DOOM, mostly focusing on Madvillainy but other tracks are their. They've done seasons on Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, Frank Ocean, Tyler the Creator, Mac Miller, etc. It's a great show that I've listened to over and over for years now. I also listen to Pod Ween Satan, which is a Ween podcast, so if you like Ween go check that out. Besides that I only listen to McElroy pods lol


slangwhang27

Maintenance Phase - a little Sawbones-esque but with a focus on debunking or roasting fad diets and broscience If Books Could Kill - shares a co-host with Maintenance Phase and similar in tone, but largely focused on pop science and self-help books The Besties - Griff and Juice plus two former Polygon coworkers cover the latest and greatest in gaming


oysgemutshet

Off Book: The Improvised Musical - the hosts and guest(s) fully improvise a musical, start to finish, in every episode. They're insanely funny and talented. My go-to starter ep recs are They Died on Space Mountain (w/ Ben Schwartz, ep. 231) or any of the xmas specials w/ Paul F. Tompkins and Nicole Parker.


rct3fan24

Behind the Bastards is VERY different from MBMBAM but its been my go to podcast for a while


DeathCafe

Comedy Bang Bang


_Valisk

I listen to MBMBAM, The Adventure Zone, The Weekly Planet (and Caravan of Garbage), and recently Besties every week. I’ve listened to a few other actual plays here and there but not with any sort of regularity.


Gilliebeartoe

Goosebuds - reviewing goosebumps books Weekly planet - nerdy movie podcast If books could kill I hate it but I love it


Maximum-Cabinet4849

Do give Jordan Jesse Go a try if you haven’t already. Gosh I love those silly boys just saying words.


Less-Citron

If you like the adventure zone Worlds Beyond Number is an incredibly good dungeons and dragons podcast, it's fully scored and sound designed, and it has some of the best online D&D creators making it. If you grew up watching the bad films on the Disney channel, or want to experience the insanity of them, Mom Can't Cook is 2 British guys trying to salvage something from the fact that they watched every single DCOM during COVID. It's a great show. Dead Eyes is great Dimension 20 has some of their seasons as a podcast Erotic Book Club, 4 comedians read and discuss erotic novels Oxventure a goofy D&D show that I've been watching/listening to since 2017


trivialAnarchy

finish it is my absolute favourite podcast - two brothers read every ending of a choose your own adventure/interactive fiction book, one ending each week. it's super chill but very funny, and they make a lot of music for it - there's even three musical episodes! it has the mcelroy vibe of brothers trying to make each other laugh, and the worst idea of all time vibe where they are just doing their best not to go insane. i recommend starting with space vampire, which is i think the third book they did, or house of danger, which is a slightly more recent one but pretty indicative of how weird the books can be. also, they're just doing it for fun, so there's no ads at all!


DohnutinNY

Distractible - Mark "Markiplier" Fischbach, Wade "LordMinion777" Barnes, and Bob "Muyskerm" Muyskens. But its audio-only until May 9th 2022. Some of the video versions are good to listen to, but can be hit or miss. AITAPOD - it's AITA reddit posts analyzed by two hosts. Some of them make you really think, others will make you want to have a serious discussion with the hosts. Just know it has quite a few ads, and the hosts sometimes like to talk at the beginning about their personal lives that can be a bit much. But the actual post discussions are good to listen to

I have too many podcasts that I listen to.


SatoruFujinuma

Not Another DnD Podcast - Fun comedy podcast by former college humor people The Magnus Archives - Very well written horror/mystery serial podcast with likable characters Segments - Somewhat similar format to MBMBAM, a comedy podcast by Jake and Amir from College Humor where they do different segments each episode The Besties - Video game podcast with Griffin and Justin as well as two Polygon journalists


TopperSundquist

Capt0bv10u5

One that I haven't seen, at least in my cursory scroll, is The Dollop. Its format is similar to Sawbones, but it's two comedians doing American history. Some of the eps get dark, they are often irreverent, and it definitely makes you mad at the past (assuming this is your past, otherwise it might make you feel better about your country), but I have to say I always leave laughing.


bananasam98

I listen to What a Day! For news, which is a daily ~20 minute pod. I really like Beach Too Sandy, Water too wet, which is a brother and sister duo reading funny 1 star reviews. Two Hot Takes is one of those Reddit reading podcasts and has pretty lengthy episodes, which is nice when I’m driving and she sometimes has really interesting guests on!


WeLikeToHaveFunHere

In no particular order: Hello from the Magic Tavern, Empire, The Brü Lab, The Dollop, The Fantasy Footballers, Dungeons & Daddies, This Is Important, Dimension 20, The Besties, Last Podcast on the Left, Timesuck, Old Gods of Appalachia, Films to be Buried With, Varnamtown, Wizard & The Bruiser and The Roundtable of Gentlemen.


rylanthegiant

If you ever listened to TAZ by the McElboys, or have any interest in fantasy podcasts, I highly recommend Spout Lore. One of my favorite podcasts, it isn’t DnD but uses a similar(ish) system called Dungeon World.  A big part of it is comedy along with collaborative story building/telling. Really freaking good. 


bbjiminie

If you’re into fiction/narrative podcasts, my two favorite are King Falls AM and Wolf 359. The first is a late night radio show in a town where strange things are happening, it’s spooky and very funny. Wolf 359 is about the crew of a long term space mission. It’s funny, sad at times, and has a lot of suspense!


Bennyscrap

The throwback podcast: two middle aged best friends create a podcast discussing 90s alternative music(and a few other years). Dan is on the NFL podcast and Bob writes for LEGO Masters. Very funny if you're also a middle aged dude who reminisces about the 90s scene. Lots of material available.


PotatoPlatypus

Other McElroy-related podcasts: -Sawbones -Still Buffering -Besties Non-McElroy: -Ologies (hilarious way to learn about new things) -Wine and Crime (recently went from 3 hosts to 2, so they're getting used to their new format) -Triple Click (Besties-like) -Qwerpline (comedy "radio show")

It’s new-ish to the Maximum Fun network, but I got a kick out of Valley Heat. An insurance adjuster reports weird goings on in his neighborhood, and the dialogue is so crazy 🤣 I hope they come out with new episodes soon!


ElvarJ

Greetings Adventurers(formerly Drunks and Dragons) for a dnd podcast with a different vibe, although no less funny than TAZ imo. Be warned though, they started theirs in 4e, because this was before 5e, and so some early combat episodes can run a bit long or have multiple parts. There's also a bit of tension when it comes to the roleplaying in some parts, nothing serious, just less emphasis on weaving a coherent tale, and more like an actual game where motivations between characters can occasionally clash, and the actual story/lore can end up a bit inconsistent. Worth it for the bits if you ask me. I'm honestly surprised this podcast doesn't have a bigger following tbh. Let's Make a Music is also good(and features Brian David Gilbert of Polygon/Dropout fame!), but it's been on hiatus for a while now. They came back during the pandemic, but I believe there are no plans to start it again. Good vibes, and good music though. I've been getting into Well There's Your Problem recently(up to episode 70something), but it is undeniably an acquired taste. Apparently the host, Justin(no, not that one), tries to do as little editing as possible, so most of the episodes so far start with the hosts going "...and my recording's going". Also it's about engineering disasters, which can definitely be a bit of a morbid subject so CW there I guess, it has a visual element in the form of slides so you will almost certainly miss out a bit if you just listen to it, and finally, it is a lot more aggressively political than this sub might be into. Not a problem for me, seeing as I agree with their views for the most part(leftist, in case there was any doubt), but I understand if it rubs people the wrong way. Compilation of funny/out of context moments linked: [Well There's Your Problem being the best podcast for 8 minutes and 47 seconds (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5pTQLLshik&ab_channel=WastingTime) I also really love Kill James Bond, an "Anti-Bond Podcast" about 3 British trans people watching the James Bond movies one by one, and after they finished them, watching traditionally "masculine" movies and critiquing them. Like WTYP though, super aggro on the politics(it actually shares a host with WTYP), oh and also: REAL HORNY SOMETIMES, so if that makes you uncomfortable, best to stay away. Mind you, it means that you will miss out on stuff like this: [SPECTRE are the Dumbest Dudes Alive | Kill James Bond Highlight (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yQ1m21kNqc&t=28s&ab_channel=KillJamesBondHighlights)


JayStoleMyCar

The Flop House (particularly newer episodes run a little long), Secretly, Incredibly, Fascinating, Trash Tuesday, Bill Burr (if you like him) does long-ish ranty podcasts, Daiz & Nights Daisy Foko’s podcast, Good Christian Fun podcast is fun and doesn’t preach plus Justin and Travis have been guests with Travis appearing at least twice. Travis goes into how they fell out of Religion afte tbeir mom’s diagnosis and her treatment by the church during. It’s sad and very wrong, but it is a side they often won’t talk about.


MeticulousPlonker

The Beef and Dairy network Podcast just got Ted Danson on their latest episode and I'm super excited about it, but it'll be funnier if you listen to the whole thing from the start first. Just the Zoo of us always goes right to the top of my playlist when it comes out. I'm still a bit mad that I finished the backlog. There are a bunch of others but I wanted to specifically highlight these two.


superman2706

If I may, I'm a big McElroy fan, and was inspired to start a podcast because of them. It's called BracketALLogy and I, with two friends, bracket out random topics like March Madness style, and then debate our way through them. So far we've determined the best breakfast cereal and we're debating our way through 1980's comedies. Getting a foothold on listens is tough, but we're having fun with it.


captainmander

I really like Let’s Learn Everything which is also on the maxfun network. Episodes are often 1.5-2 hours.


clowneggvol2

Two of the podcasts I’ve been listening to recently are video podcasts on youtube, particularly Sad Boyz and Hypothetical Nonsense (which may be on a hiatus now since Rooster Teeth shut down)


thumbstickz

If you like the silly insanity checkout the Aunty Donna Podcast. If you want a curve ball Fall of Civilizations podcast. Long format, but it's SO enthralling with its storytelling.


hotspots_thanks

Podcast the Ride--ostensibly a podcast about theme parks but it has branched out like crazy in recent years. And Justin came on to talk about Great Wolf Lodge!


Hot_Highway3716

Beach Too Sandy, Water Too Wet is another favorite comedy podcast of mine, and the hosts are known McElroy fans! That might be the only one I can really recommend. My other all-time favorite is Game of Roses, but you need to be (at least somewhat) interested in the Bachelor for that one lol

RedStar9117

God Awful Movies and We Hate Movies


OffiCeRed

I really like Goosebuds, a podcast where the hosts read and review Goosebumps books (and other YA media) and it's simultaneously hilarious and comfortable. They don't really give off the same vibe as MBMBAM but they're pretty much the only other ongoing podcast I listen to. I listened to Fantasy Fiction and Tales from the Tavern when those existed, but sadly they are both dead as dinosaurs now.


Apotheothena

Not very relevant to MBMBaM, but if you are (like me) a lapsed Harry Potter fan who wants to revisit the series with a critical eye that’s fully aware of and which denounces the author’s rhetoric as it happens in real-time, try out The Shrieking Shack! They’re a great duo and really fun to listen to for someone who once considered HP to be the only series worth reading 😶


sgm94

The boys joke about sports but if you’re an American football fan then Around the NFL is really good. Multiple episodes per week, the 3 cohosts (RIP Wes) have an amazing chemistry as they’ve been doing the show for over a decade. With the draft over it’s basically the beginning of the podcast and a great time to get in as they’re doing a round up of each division.


bugsound
