you forgot
podcast about engineering disasters, with slides
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.
It really is the most "this social media site" podcast in existence. Despite this it actually is very good
Yay Liam!
Also, D&D campaign
We need the podcast equivalent of old radio shows, like acting out a story with sound effects
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 mine would be Worlds Beyond Number's main campaign (that's DnD right?).
But Fun City, Gutter and Unend are my personal favs using other systems :)
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.
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.
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
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.
It should be titled "types of podcast: a guide for masochists"
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.
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.
Just attend your work meetings bruh
Oh man if only....
But let me loop back to you about this when we figure out our org goals
Sounds like you need a weekly meeting to figure that out
I mean, if you want a lecture, YouTube has those in spades. I've got a few financial reports I listen to month-to-month. They're very dry, info dense, and getting through them feels like dragging myself across sand paper.
I tend to prefer podcasts that mix in the history and the news with a few joking asides and tangents. Makes the show feel more human and less like I'm supposed to take an exam on it at the end of the week. And, frankly, I've found more hot tips in TrashFuture than anything UBS has dolled out.
Ugh yes. Podcasts are so low density for information per minute. No offence if that’s what you’re in the mood for and it can certainly fill a long commute / chore. Just really not my cup of tea.
I sort of hate podcasts. I don't want parasocial relationships. I don't want to hear in 30 minutes what I could have read in 3, with better options for following up (highlight -> search vs "what did they say? how do you spell that?")
I don’t want to hear in 30 minutes what I could have read in 3
Seriously.
Annoys me about a lot of youtube videos and documentaries as well.
"Morning Zoo" is what that's called.
Chewy and fuckface in the morning.
Crazy Ira and The Douche
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".
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.
There's also the sex and relationship advice podcasts that make you feel way better about your own mostly functional relationship.
Funny Leftists describing the abhorrent crimes of history.

Types of podcast I listen to:
History podcasts are my catnip at the moment. I'm not alone.
My most listened to podcast genres are:
I'm glad that of the 90 podcasts I subscribe to, none of them are in this meme
You forgot:
Independent media news show with a hyper-niche ideology covering political developments you had no idea were happening.
And also:
Marathon-length dramatic history reading with a beat-for-beat breakdown of events as they occurred.
My favorite type of podcast is Learn About A Weird Thing, which isn't on this list. Stuff You Should Know is a good one. Word up, Josh & Chuck.
Where do you put The Magnus Archives and Darknet Diaries?
What about actual play podcasts? The only podcast I listen other is Glass Cannon. Or rather, shows in their network. Its the only place I get my TTRPG fix anymore
Where does "two comedians listen to and critically analyze Alex Jones" fit?
A blend of 2, 4 and 6
I mean there's also fiction storytelling and radio plays, which is about the only kind of podcast I listen to besides Cautionary Tales.
My favorite is friends who bullshit and call each other gay. At one point the comedian was that way. He just huffed his own farts so long he liked the smell.
Comedy podcasts about death, Mars news, and a random small English soccer team.
Where would it be Safety third here?
You completely glossed over podcast that are more dramatically creations or just pure fiction. Something like welcome to night Vale is one of my favorite ones or horror story ones such as SCP archives or the no sleep podcast.
What about three white guys just hanging out and talking about the exact same crap they always do, but this time with a microphone in the middle? (This was my old podcast, The Masters of Divinity)
The following don't seem to fit any of these (and they're all excellent):
Specialist who knows some topic really well but has no charisma or presentation so is perpetually locked at like 200 listeners.
Interviewer who knows everything about the interviewee like creepy spying levels of detail
Cast that started going through a really long series that morphed and charged into something else over the course of the series review/analysis
