Cumtown is probably the best podcast airing right now, and a huge part of that is the high quality fan created content:

I'm using BeyondPod and like it. I tried Pocket Casts once and it seemed okay but it didn't fully support password protected feeds.

Do you mean content wise (true crime/investigation) or quality wise (ie well-put-together miniseries)?
For great miniseries, I'd recommend
- Hardcore History (split into contained miniseries)
- You Must Remember This (miniseries and one-off episodes)
- Scapegoat Cities (a miniseries)
For true crime/investigation/journalism
- Dirty John
- Awful Grace
- Stranglers
- This Is Actually Happening

The Hollywood Handbook with these two as the guests is really hilarious. "I have this really unique experience where I was watching the most popular shit back then."
EDIT: The More Perfect this week is good (as always) but incredibly infuriating.

I don't know if you guys have dropped it from your feed already, but Crimetown actually dropped a new episode today.
Oh damn, really? New season, or still New England stuff?
OP
OP
Do you know if Crimetown was meant to be a miniseries or will there be another season?
I think they did announce a while back that they are working on another season. Given the amount of research it took for the first season, though, I'm assuming it'll be some time before we get that.
It's cool that they're still releasing things here and there, though.

Think of a Best Podcasts of 2017 voting thread would work here?
I think it might be best to do it instead as Best Podcast Discoveries of 2017, rather than limiting merely to just podcasts that started in 2017. Could highlight entire series or just the episodes that stuck with you, during your 2017 listening

Listened to a few episodes of We Got This and I can't even remember the last time I was this disappointed in something.
The premise is that the hosts pick some mundane argument (Cake or pie! Which way is a toilet roll supposed to go!) and argue it out in an effort to find the actual "correct" opinion. That sounded amazing to me. Trying to come up with solid objective arguments for fairly dumb conflicts sounds fun! And it's very easy to make this podcast funny -- taking some dumb argument completely seriously and presenting it as a serious debate would automatically make the show hilarious to me.
Instead of any of that, the actual show seems to just be about vaguely talking about the question, and then giving the answer the hosts already thought was right before they even started recording. No arguments, no debate.
What? Why would you start a show with this premise, if this is the way you're doing it? Go review Game of Thrones or something instead if you really need to have a podcast for some reason.

On a semi-related note, I'm finding that I enjoy 100% of the podcasts I've heard where Breakmaster Cylinder does the theme.
That's only two shows, so far—Reply All and Outside|In—but that's batting for a thousand right now.

If you guys like Wolf 359 as much as I do, maybe you want to help me spread the good word: https://www.resetera.com/posts/1793814/
One more episode and I'm up-to-date, which means I will finally start The Magnus Archives - can't wait for that!

Anyone have any recommendations for a young kid-centric podcast? Everything I listen to is either inappropriate for me to play in the car with them or is something that they just find incredibly boring.
I keep hearing ads for a kid's podcast called "This Podcast has Fleas" or something to that effect during episodes of More Perfect. Might be worth checking out.
I'm positively hooked on Wolf 359. 20 episodes in, I think it might be the best narrative podcast I've listened to yet. Definitely filling me with a desire to check out more (mysterious) space opera/scifi stuff after it - already got a bunch of books picked to start reading soon.
OP

Any recommendations in particular? Got Foundation, Culture, Expanse, Revelation Space, and Ancillary Justice/Imperial Radch on my to-read list
Well, Foundation and Culture make up the bulk of it for me too lol. Also planning to check out A Fire Upon The Deep and Pandora's Star. I personally didn't really enjoy Revelation Space, unfortunately. Too many info dumps, not enough... Character.
So, all the Cracked spin-off shows are basically dead, right? I know that Alex is still around for the main show, but I think all those other shows were hosted by various people who got laid off or left. I'm going to miss Cracked Gets Personal.
Ya i noticed google play wasn't updating my podcasts so i switched to stitcher.

Shame it's not on iOS. PocketCasts is my go-to recommendation for podcast apps
He also does the theme for the podcast Fictional from the makers of Myths and Legends (which is a great show) I like fictional a lot too, and the theme is great. Fictional is a pod about abridged retelling a of public sector fiction (Dante's inferno, Hounds of Baskerville, ect) it's very much the same tone and writing style as Myths and Legends.
Guys, halp.
I want to listen to podcasts on my phone on my way to work, but many of them have really, really low audio levels. As does my shitty cell phone. I have an aux input in my car, and was thinking of connecting my phone to that. But I have no idea which kind of cable to buy. What do I do?

It you are using an Android phone, the Podcast Addict app has a Boost Volume option that works pretty well.
You can buy a two-way auxiliary cable. Just make sure the props have two lines going across them, which indicates stereo.
Can anyone recommend a good mythology show?
I kind of like myths and legends. It's almost perfect for me, but the humor, and interjected commentary are turned up a little high for my taste.
Any alternatives?

I saw one for $20 at my university store. Is that a good deal?
I have no idea. =\
But I guess $20 isn't that much a cost either way if it's your only option.
On another note, Crimetown released another bonus episode today. I haven't listened to it yet.
