General Podcast Discussions Which podcast voice would your pet recognize?

If the host of your favorite podcast walked through your front door, do you think your pets would recognize their voice?

My mom once joked that her dog would recognize Judge Judy’s voice if she walked through the door one day, because she watches her show so often.

Got me wondering: what podcast host(s) would your pets recognize?

For my cats, it would be:
- Marcus, Henry, and Ed on Last Podcast on the Left
- Robert & Sophie on Behind the Bastards
- Dan Snow on History Hit
- John Hopkins’ narration on Noiser podcasts
- Casefile’s “Casey”

Cat tax included.

Kevin Pollak tells Jay Mohr about a recent thought he had for a joke and 9 years later still tries to pass it off as a recent thought. Jay has no recollection of the joke and Kevin doesn't remember telling it to him.

History & Geography History Podcasts Recs!

4 Upvotes

I’ve gotten back into podcasts recently but I’m not as into true crime as I was last time I listened to podcasts.

I’d love some recommendations on your favorite history podcasts, generally I prefer medieval and ancient history but I love it all. I’d especially love podcasts that discuss women in history!

I’ve been listening to Noble Blood, Fall of Civilizations, and Lore (more folklore than actual history I guess but that kind of vibe!).

Thanks so much!

Fiction Old-Timey Radio Shows Turned Podcast and Your Thoughts on Them

Upvotes

Heyo 👋

Look at these old-timey podcasts radio shows, now podcasts, which I found. I absolutely love them so far. Tell me if you've heard of them and if you like listening to similar things to them. You'll probably notice if you do some research that most of my old-timey podcasts actually follow "heroes" if you will and the others follow investigators solving crimes. Again, let me know your thoughts.

Respectfully,

Me

Horror & Paranormal Sleepy Male Voice, Horror, Ad-Free Recs

3 Upvotes

I’m looking for what the title says. I’ve been listening to Down to Sleep for a long time. His voice is so calming (though I usually turn the speed to 0.8 so it’s more drawn out and more dozing-off-like), but I really love horror. I subscribed to his Patreon so I could listen to LOTR and Twilight, but I’m losing interest.

I LOVED The Magnus Archives, but the voices sometimes woke me up…and the story really drew me in.

I don’t mind paying a little for what I want, but I also want to try listening to them without ads to see if it’s gonna work, y’know? So, does this magical podcast exist or should I just stick with what I’ve got?

Other Podcast Genre Podcasters who get their source material from Reddit.

31 Upvotes

This is a genre that’s hit or miss for me. There are a couple of good ones that are funny and entertaining, and some that are just boring.

Do you think that it is lazy to do your entire podcast around reading and reacting to Reddit posts and/or TikTok videos? To me, it’s an interesting genre, but there is one major issue.

Creative writing, obvious made up stories, and more recently AI generated slop are flooding this app on a level that I haven’t seen anywhere else. Nowadays, you have to carefully break down each post just to make sure you’re not reacting to something that was completely made up. You have to check post history, account age, and keywords that are dead giveaways before even using the content on your stream.

Am I reading too much into these? Are these podcasters still entertaining, even when the stories they are reading are clearly fake? Or maybe you dislike the genre as a whole?

History & Geography Ken Burns style documentary podcasts

Are there any documentary podcasts that are like a Ken Burns documentary? I was watching the Ernest Hemingway series last night and was thinking it would be nice to just listen to it while doing something else.

History & Geography Investigative / nonfiction podcasts

9 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m looking for some podcast recommendations.

I really love interesting historical podcasts like Conspiracy Theories and The Disappearing Spoon. I also like sociology type podcasts like Hidden Brain and How To Be A Better Human, but I don’t always enjoy conversational podcasts especially ones that are overly bantery or funny.

I also really love in depth investigated podcasts like Sold a Story, I’m a mom so stuff like that really piques my interest.

I’m not into true crime, I am sad enough as is.

What should I check out?
