Is there not some beef between the bald move community and the filmcast one? Maybe I'm imagining things but I could have sworn I heard some form of trash talk on here somewhere.

It's all faux-trash-talk. It long-standing joke. No bad blood.
BOARS, GORE AND SWORDS (Game of Thrones podcast with a TON of sidejokes and distractions)
MY FAVORITE MURDER (True crime stories)
THE ADVENTURE ZONE (Three brothers and their dad play D&D)
NEVER NOT FUNNY (Long running Jimmy Pardo comedy podcast)
POLITICALLY RE-ACTIVE WITH W. KAMAU BELL & HARI KONDABOLU (Political news and discussion)
Just as a bonus here are my five favorite dead podcasts that are done but still available for download!
THE CHAMPS (Neal Brenan and Moshe Kasher interview black celebs)
NERD OF MOUTH (hardcore nerds discuss nerd things)
GO BAYSIDE! (April Richardson reviews all episodes of Saved By The Bell)
THE INDOOR KIDS (video game talk with Kumail Nanjiani and Emily Gordon)
THE K-OHLE (multi format podcast but seriously, just look for any of his Get Lost episodes. Especially the one with Rory Scovel. He blindfolds a comedian and takes them places. So good)
Answer Me This, Nutritionfacts.org, that's about it for hardcore listening.
I have a lot that I dip in and out of. I used to be right into How Did This Get Made but since they got big and every second one is live, I don't like them much anymore. The live ones are often unbearable.

ah ok. Was always curious. Kept forgetting to ask during a lunch.
On Taking Pictures: A pro portrait photographer and a podcast we and visual artist talk about photography, art and all kinds of stuff.
Slate Money: Talk show about financial and political issues. Entertaining hosts and fairly lighthearted but about serious topics.
Startup: Fly on the wall podcast about different startups. Best seasons and episodes have been about the startup of the actual company putting these out, Gimlet media.
Hardcore History with Dan Carlin: Probably don't need to talk about it.
My favorite non-Bald Move podcast has been over for about 5 years now, but I still go back and re-listen to old ones and totally love it. Really hilarious stuff and it was really the show that turned me into a podcast fan: Low Budget FM
Bill Simmons Podcast
For the sake of space I will combine Common Sense and Hardcore History
Sound Opinions
Revisionist History
Honorable Mentions:
Firewall and Iceberg would have certainly made it, but they're defunct and I don't really go back and listen to them like I do with the LBFM stuff. The first 2/3s or so of the Daves of Thunder run are also near and dear to my heart, as well as Dave Dameshek on Demand from the 710 ESPN days.
James Bonding (Funny analysis of all James Bond movies)
I'm also a huge James Bonding fan. That theme song will stick in your head for weeks.
You don't even have to be a Bond fan but watching the movies is really necessary to enjoy the podcasts. I did a complete rewatch as I listened, it was tremendous.
I wish they'd keep it going but it's pretty much over now.

I had only seen Casino Royale and Skyfall before I started listening and they made me the biggest fan of the Roger Moore era. I have probably seen Live and Let Die five or six times now. #kanangaballoon
Yes! I love all of those. Well, Spontaneanation and Pistol Shrimps are the only ones I haven't listened to. There are too many good podcasts out there!

I'd give Pistol Shrimps a listen. If you like Gourley, I think you're going to like it. His girlfriend, now fiancee (spoiler alert) is on the basketball team so he decided to broadcast it.
He and his cohost don't know anything about basketball so they just make up rules based on what they think is happening. It really has almost nothing to do with basketball and is just an hour of 2 improv comedians riffing.
@akritenbrink I've only read about 1/2 of Blink, which I was really enjoying but just sort of stopped reading for no good reason, but that's the extent of my Gladwell writing knowledge. That said, from my memory of that experience, it may not work out as well for you if you're not into his narrative style. He kind of works around an idea before he hones in on it and where it works well for me the episode I showed my wife had her a little bit bored so we moved onto something else. It is very insightful, but there is a storytelling style at its root. I would still try it out, but it is quite possible that it won't be your thing if you're not a fan of his narrative method.
Tough to say in that case. I haven't really read any of his pieces. I guess I would just come to the same conclusion, though the way you worded that makes me think it's even a little more possible that you won't be into it, but I can't say for sure. I think the best test of it would be to try out Carlos Doesn't Remember. It kicks off his three part series on education, but it's a contained episode. That one may be a good test case, and if you like it and want to go deeper into his thoughts on education the next two are very interesting, and if you don't like it at least you tested it with one of the best ones.
Vikings: The Wild Hunt (No Ship Network) - three-host podcast about the History Channel show Vikings Acquisitions Incorporated/Penny Arcade - celebrity D&D The Secret Cabal Gaming Podcast - Board and tabletop gaming, including Warmachine Combo Smite - Warmachine podcast Harmontown - Dan Harmon's podcast with celebrity guests, random bouts of improv and inappropriate stories/raps
The rest of my favorites are all Bald Move casts, and Bald Move is actually the only cast I directly support.
If I were asked this a few years ago my answers would have been (In no particular order):
- Filmspotting
- This American Life
- Radiolab
- Sound Opinions
- WTF
These days however, I have a totally different list and includes some that are quite a bit more niche (In no particular order):
- Our National Conversation About Conversations About Race (AKA Show About Race)
- Bonfireside Chat (podcast about all things Dark Souls/Bloodborne/Demon's Souls)
- Hardcore History/Common Sense (A bit of a cheat, but both Dan Carlin)
- The Book of Ye (podcast featuring two comedians and various guests talking Kanye West.)
- Radiolab
Ask me a year down the road and it will be totally different again.
Oh and honorable mention would be Sampler. A podcast about discovering other podcast. It's actually a great way to get a taste of what's out there without having to commit. It's well-made and well-structured.
