99% of my podcast listening is done with my spouse. We've been together 10 years, she got into podcasts a couple of years ago as an alternative to broadcast TV. I would catch snippets of her podcast playlist when she was cooking or otherwise doing something while listening via a speaker rather than headphones. Since I was interested in some of the subjects that came up, I asked to listen to them with her. We often listen during dinner together, pause to discuss when we hear something we want to talk about, and generally approach it as a group activity. We started with The Dollop together, but I've soured on that lately because it's become depressing rather than interesting (at least to me). We listen to Sinisterhood (true crime, weird stuff, conspiracies, ghost stories etc), My Favourite Murder minisodes (true crime and user stories that all seem pretty made up), This Podcast Will Kill You (diseases discussed by doctorate students), No Such Thing As A Fish (facts from the people who research for QI), Infinite Monkey Cage (science stuff), etc etc. It's fun, we get to laugh (as most of our stuff has an undercurrent of humour and flippant discussion), and we get to learn stuff too.
