    • The Flop House - Three comedians watch a bad movie and then talk about it in funny ways. Additionally they answer letters from their listeners and have a lot of running jokes which I enjoy.
    • Obiter Dictum - Two Swedish guys talk (in Swedish) about Swedish and US pop culture including movies, music and books. I enjoy it because it makes me feel kind of at home listening to friends talking about normal things.
    • Modern Day Philosophers - a Jewish comedian invites other mostly Jewish comedians to first just talk about their life, etc. and then in each episode to pick a classic philosopher and one of their quote to talk about it with the guest.
    • Israel Story - Every day stories from Israel, I was there a couple of years ago and became fascinated with their culture and history, this in a way is for me like going back there without traveling.

    And then I’d like to do some self promotion: Jeenas Excellent Encounters is my own podcast, where I meet people who I think are interesting in my life and then we talk about their hobby or work or some special interest they have. Some exceptional episodes:

    • Jehovah’s Witnesses - Althéa - I talked to a woman who grew up in a Jehovah’s Witnesses family, married young and got a child and only then realized that she needs to get out and she describes her way out and her fight to get her daughter back.
    • In Israel/Palestine 2/3 - Hebron - I traveled to Hebron in Palestine and stayed at a AirBnB. The host took me with her to visit a family who’s house has been destroyed 3 times already by the Israeli military.
    • Living as a foreigner in Russia - Alberto - I interviewed an Italian who met a Russian woman when studying in in Finland and decided to move to Russia for their children’s sake
