I work a job with a lot of downtime, and the new supervisor is a retard who's been waving his dick around about phones despite nothing going on 99% of the time. But being the "generous" guy he is he's okay with us listening to music as long as we're not looking at our phones. Anyone have any good audiobook or podcast recommendations? I'm a history buff, so anything related to that would be cool. I'm also game for any based politics or Manosphere content.

The Saxon Tales. Cornwell is just unbelievably good. Historical fiction, post Roman Britain era.
"Dan Carlin Hardcore History" is pretty good and they are usually on the lengthy side.
I enjoyed "The History of Rome" podcast. It starts with the founding and goes to the fall in one hour chapters.
I like a podcast called "The Brion McClanahan Show" he's a libertarian and his podcast is mostly about Southern history. It's pretty political so you would probably have to be cautious who hears it.
My normie recommendation is Mr. Ballen because I just enjoy his storytelling.
Audio book wise, "A History of Britain" by Simon Schama is informative and time extensive.
And it's not history, well it's covered like it is, the audio version of World War Z is really good. It's read by a cast of well known and good actors. Mark Hamel is a prominent one and his chapter is pretty good.
Thanks. Been looking for history podcasts because so many I find devolve into current year discussions
Always disappointing when that happens. Apolitical is a dirty word now.
Lengthy is good. I need to kill time. All of these look interesting.
Liberty Lockdown is a good podcast if you are into libertarian perspectives on things. The guy who runs it is running for vice president right now on the libertarian ticket.
Matt Christiansen’s show is pretty good, it’s about news and politics, he does two different shows a week.
If you like laughing at retards there’s Mad at the Internet, the Kiwi Farms guy hosts that, he does two a week talking about lolcows and the state of the Internet in these big gay times.
In a similar vein there’s Who Are These Podcasts, a show where the hosts shit on a select podcast each week. Some would argue it has gone down hill recently and they spend too much time on middleschool lolcow drama but there’s some solid episodes. The host also does a bunch of other shows of varying quality so there’s plenty of hours to waste there.
If you like True Crime I would recommend Sword and Scale as well as Obscura.
All of these and more have made my regular jagoff job feel less like I’m serving out a lifetime sentence.
This sounds glorious. The Farms' lolcow forum is a guilty pleasure of mine.
My sentence shouldn't last much longer. There's plenty of work that doesn't involve putting up with clowns like this guy. I'm interviewing like mad and it's likely that I'll have multiple offers.
W.A.TTTTTTTTTT. PEA. I like WATP as well.
You can always tell how good a cohost is gonna be by how enthusiastic their “W AAAAAA TP” is at the beginning of the episode.
Also Pirate Bay has a package of 40+ book of 40k Horus Hersey
The first 3 books are really good. Others are hit and miss with some gems and some meh. Overall they are a good diversion.
https://www.noagendashow.net/ Good podcast at showing journos are liars when they break down their stories.

Auron MacIntyre smart descriptions of mostly right leaning political theory. Might be too nerdy depending on your tastes.
I liked stuff to blow your mind and invention, they're by the same guys
Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman and read by Lenny Henry. It's a really good book even if the creators have politics made of fake mink.
Dresden Files read by James Marsters.
All of the works of Tolkien and Son. The Children of Hurin is read by Christopher Lee. It's a tragic tale of heroism and a curse by the very embodiment of evil.
Dream Park by Larry Niven.
The Star Wars books by Timothy Zahn.
The audio play of Neverwhere. Rap chanting monks and a story of a man stuck in the magical part of the London Underground. There is also a sequel that is quite enjoyable.
The Great Lecture series has some nice introductory histories. I felt like a student in class again when I listened to this or that.
Doctor Who audio plays.
