    Happier podcast is about creating habits and making life easier in general. It's not exercise/diet focused per se, but many subjects and recommendations can be used for weight loss. I was listening to podcast 2, and she was discussing people who have to abstain from an activity vs those who moderate their activities and how we're all different. I used to feel I could eat something in moderation, but it's actually easier to just abstain from having it. I have more difficulty stopping after a portion or two and prefer to just not have it at all. They were not talking about dieting but I'm applying it to that. She discusses lots of topics.

    Not really a podcast, but I love to run while listening to Zombies, Run! The story lines are really fun and intense. Also, like many others, I love Welcome to Nightvale.

    Orbiting Human Circus is my favorite podcast (and possibly my favorite thing, period.) I saw the live show and it was so, so good. Possibly life changing good.

    Aside from the ones mentioned,

    For stand alone dramas
    Bbc drama of the week
    The Truth
    Getting on with James Urbaniak


    Continual series (I tend to love horror, btw)
    Spines
    Archive 81
    Darkest Night
    Mabel
    Homecoming
    The Bright Sessions

    Stand alone stories:
    The Moth
    The New Yorker Fiction Podcast
    Strangers
    Short Cuts
    This American Life
    Knifpoint Horror

    For people telling me stuff:
    The Singing Bones
    Myths and Legends
    Invisabilia
    Hidden Brain
    Radiolab

    Also love the Classic Tales Podcast, which is really just audiobooks.

    ETA: Beware of the Minnow Beats Whale ones. They are really captivating at first, but lead pretty much nowhere. If you are tempted, I would say the first two seasons of Tanis close nicely, but then they just kept making seasons...

    Entertainment:. We're Alive

    Science:. This week in virology, this week in microbiology, and this week in parasitism (my favorite; has a case study).

    I admit I also gave up Tanis and Black Books after the first two seasons, but I did really enjoyed those first two... Shame they didn't wrap them up before they started rambling...

    I'm so an abstainer! Love GR...

    Non-health related - I love the Morbid Curiosity podcasts. Really informative and factual podcasts about a variety of topics about which people have morbid curiosity. Everything from the Bermuda Triangle to head shrinking, medieval torture to Lizzy Borden, urban legends and ghost and ghoul stories and the facts behind them. It's very cool.

    Sounds great! A bit like Lore, if you know that one? My podcast list is looking pretty epic :)

    This sounds amazing! I'll definitely check it out!

    Grown Ups Read Things They Wrote as Kids - they are each about a half hour, and I die laughing through every one. It's not artsy like some of these :) But if you want a really good laugh, I recommend it. I also like Stuff You Should Know, the topics are always random and the hosts are engaging and down to earth.

    Hey all, I love a good podcast and am wondering what recommendations the MFP community have. My favourites (non-health and fitness related) are Criminal; Baggage Reclaim Sessions and The Untold, but I don't yet know of any good health/weight-loss/fitness related ones. What are your favourites, of any genre?

    I'm a big true crime fan...Casefile, Sword & Scale, and Missing Maura Murray are a few of my favorites. I listen to them during my workouts and on my commute, some of them are pretty dark but very entertaining.

    Definitely Sword and Scale! Some really stick with you for days afterwards but it is very interesting.

    LeVar Burton Reads seems pretty good so far.
