Podcasts with Michael Hobbes as a cohost are uniformly excellent:
Maintenance Phase with Aubrey Gordon - dissecting and debunking health trends, diets, and fatphobia
If Books Could Kill with Peter Shamshiri - examining the nuclear levels of bullshit behind “big concept” books that could be bought in an American airport (think David Brooks, Malcolm Gladwell, etc), and their negative influence
This is pretty good, if a bit repetitive, like they don't need an hour to dis most of these books. The first episode has a great quote though:
"Airport books are like the super-spreader event of American stupidity." Or something close to it. Hahahaha.
