Recently someone asked, “What are some of the most well-researched podcasts that you don't have to worry about the validity of the information presented?”
“I am always skeptical about any information being presented to me. In your experience, what are some podcasts that are well-researched and rigorous with their fact-checking?” Here are the top responses.
Another agreed, “Came here to post this. Knowledge Fights‘ hosts are the most trustworthy, ethical, reliable, and intelligent hosts. 700+ shows and still no ads. Love them!”
One person said, “If you want reliable, well-researched investigative journalism from an award-worthy journalist, I'd highly recommend Whatever Happened to Pizza at McDonald's.”
“Against the Odds (Wondery) is well researched, including first-person commentary from people involved in the event/topic they're covering. The stories they cover are always fascinating and deserving of a listen,” a commenter noted.
“Radiolab, primarily science, but also other random topics. A personal favorite. Every episode mentioned who worked on fact-checking and their production quality, and how the episodes are structured is just awesome,” one user admitted.
