I’m interested in different perspectives so I’d like to avoid USA, GB etc.
If you are interested in different culture more than different language background, https://www.rnz.co.nz/programmes/black-sheep might be interesting
Thank you. 🙏 That is actually right up my alley, although I prefer to hear from the indigenous perspective for now. NZ people of settler lineage are generally the same group I’m trying to avoid (including my own native Irish people who speak English as a first language). I will come back to it though so thanks again.
Yeah, I understand - fwiw, RNZ is the national (government backed) broadcaster, and has an explicit mandate to elevate the perspectives of iwi. Black Sheep specifically has done a few episodes about the musket wars and land confiscation that really don’t pull punches.
Another that might fit your brief: https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/stuff-the-british-stole - from the ABC, and for the most part does a really good job of setting up the story with some historical context, then letting the people actually effected tell the rest
This dude is from Latvia and is on Putin’s shit list for popularizing a conspiracy theory that the Putin we see in public is actually a revolving series of highly trained impersonators. It’s actually kinda credible tbh.
This is great 🙏
The German international broadcaster “Deutsche Welle” has some interesting podcasts on various topics. For example the African roots series
Oh, this is wonderful. I’ve just subscribed. Thank you!
I like DW and used to follow the Inside Europe podcast, but they had a lot of British and Irish people presenting the shows which sort of dampened the feeling of escapism I had been enjoying.
The history of philosophy without any gaps have a secondary podcast with history of philosophy in India and history of Africana philosophy, look up for the interview episodes, they had Indian, African and carebean philosophers being interview.
Thanks 🙏
I’ve done some and it’s not my first language.
But should the podcast be in English or another language?
Does the podcast still have to be in English? And what topics are you usually interested in?
Thanks for asking. The podcast would need to be in English, yes. I’m actually open to all topics except Anglo culture and politics. So, anything from Europe, Africa, Asia, Baltics etc.
Topics could be art, environment / nature, culture, sustainability, mythology, degrowth, decolonisation, cooperative businesses, music and entertainment, local news, books and literature, languages (explored through English), local community and climate.

They are Iranian, Serbian and something else, if I’m not mistaken. An interesting mix.
I’d like to listen if you don’t mind sharing some links or search terms.
That’s exactly the issue, yes. Also there’s the converging monoculture of English speakers, including my own country, Ireland. So even though English podcasts span a huge array of topics I still feel like I’m listening to the same mindset.
