Wow, this is my first time running across a mention of those guys in the wild.
“Middle aged gamers talking about being confused in extraction shooters.” Maybe? I say that with love.
There's also a lot of special interest/hyperfixation podcasts. You know, like the history ones, or running, DND, tech, fictional world, essay, drugs...
Recapping a movie but its longer than a movie could be fun, what if they have alot of odd distractions mid podcast with fun micro celebrities that just show up? They can go way off topic and eventually circle back. I could do this, I barely watch movies and it would be fun.
There must be a podcast that is notorious for this or something, it seems much less bad than the others.
There’s also: Computer nerds talk about the most inane software topics imaginable.
And: AI bros who used to be Crypto bros talk about their latest scam.
My most listened to podcast genres are:
- Fans of a sports team celebrate or commiserate
- Cheerful people look at the world through the lens of economics
- A professional voice actor reads me cool short stories
- A science reporter lets scientists gush about their cool discoveries
- Science myths are investigated and sometimes debunked, in an entertaining way (with citations)
- A storyteller tells true stories about mistakes and what we can learn from them
- BBC Foreign Correspondents talk about the stories behind the stories
- The current world is examined from a perspective of how the media delivers the message
Where do you put The Magnus Archives and Darknet Diaries?
Also, D&D campaign
We need the podcast equivalent of old radio shows, like acting out a story with sound effects
The Adventure Zone is what got me into D&D. Balance is surprisingly easy to run as a home campaign
Re: radio shows... Back when I listened to podcasts, there were so many. I can't speak to their current quality (I largely stopped listening to podcasts in 2020), but there was Wolf 359, The Far Meridian, The Magnus Archives, The Bright Sessions, Ars Paradoxica, Hello from The Magic Tavern, and a ton more that I never even heard of. Then there's the literal fictional radio shows like WIDK and Welcome to Nightvale
There's plenty of audio dramas, and actual plays that are more edited and produced than, say, Critical Role.
Edit: Came across this site just now: https://audiodrama.directory/
My personal favorite D&D podcast is Tales from the Stinky Dragon XD
Well if we're strictly speaking DnD I guess it'd be Worlds Beyond Number's main campaign (that's DnD right?).
But Fun City, Gutter and Unend are my personal favs using other systems :)
Yeah The Wizard, The Witch and The Wild One is DnD and I can highly recommend it.
My favorite here are Mystery Quest and the Apocalypse Players.
Though I might have a thing for humorous horror.
I love the Apocalypse Players. Just the right amount of madness.
I feel like D&D campaign falls, spiritually, under ‘recapping a movie but it’s longer than the movie’
Then you've been listening to the wrong campaigns.
I didn’t say I disliked it! I’ve probably spent more time listening to theory videos about ASOIAF than I did listening to the books, I like proverbially dissecting the frog. So a D&D campaign with 5 minutes of OOC discussion for every 1-2 minutes of gameplay is just my speed.
That's why I love Thrilling Adventure Hour so much. Its funny and in the style of old time radio.
There's plenty of high production podiodramas but they are more like a movie to me than old radio dramas.
I once listenee to a Batman podcast which was an audio drama that I think was actually produced by the people who own Batman.

podcast about engineering disasters, with slides
Yay Liam!
Shout out to November Kelly, Devon, and the entire Nate Bethea extended universe. Producing the only good podcasts on the internet.
Wrong, there's 2 good podcasts. November Kelly, Devon, and Abigale Thorne do the Kill James Bond podcast.
I was about to say

Dua Lipa’s book club seems like it would be that top-right one but she seems to put real effort into it and she is actually a pretty good interviewer.
But I’m a fan so I’m probably exactly who the agent is thinking of in this scenario.
Honestly, this chart is sad. I have not listened to a single of any of these type of podcasts because I stay away from bad content.
The Daily isn’t bad content, IMO. But like the comic said, it often covers the reality of our current world. So it might bum you out.
It should be titled "types of podcast: a guide for masochists"
So I think Behind the Bastards and The Dollop would fit as a subcategory under the first one of "journalists and comedians riff on some of the worst people in history as their producer tries to keep them on topic and avoid being cancelled".
It also brought awareness about the Grand Rapids Murders and the alleged* involvement of Jamie Loftus.
And I said alleged but yeah let's be real she did done those poor four people, may god rest their soul.
Ya know what? I don't think the boomers were right. Their equivilant to podcasts was FM Radio having talk shows at 6am with wacky hosts that use slide whistles, fake laughs, and crazy sound effects every 3 seconds.
They didn't have it right. There's absolutely room for something way better.......but those awful 80s morning shows were still better than these podcasts.
but those awful 80s morning shows were still better than these podcasts.
No way. I'd listen to just about anything rather than slide whistles, fake laughs and sound effects.
Ah, the Joe Rogan audience.
I want to believe this is a world where there's more than just those 2 options.
I just miss people talking about something they know in an organized and professional manner.
I just don't care for random string of consciousness to pretend I am part of a conversation I can't actually participate in.
