I despise this type of podcasts... just idiots (generally) rambling about themselves or shit they know nothing about.
oh shit
i hate that bro
So, I was 5 minutes in ... 2 minutes ad. Knowadamsayin?
Oh shit bro. I know what you're saying.
Gnome saying
so 99.99% of podcasts
maybe... but back when I had time to actually listen to a few podcasts, I had no trouble finding better ones that did not devolve into this shitty format
it helped that the number of people who have a podcast wasn't quite as close to the number of people who have access to the internet as it is today.
Certainly!
How do you find one without spending weeks searching?
I'm an old fart... Back in my day I had less garbage to sift through
Ah that makes sense. I remember not getting the concept when they came out and then finding too many options when I looked later.
Through recommendations of other users. A list of things I used to listen to at some point:
My Favorite Murder
The NoSleep Podcast
Welcome to Night Vale
Limetown
EOS 10
A Problem Squared
They're all close to 100% scripted and all but the first and the last one are fictional stories. So they're more like an audiobook than anything, except they're created with this form factor in mind, rather than just being a book read out loud.
Specifically why I’ve never successfully listened to a podcast.
Plenty of good podcasts, but they are either 100% scripted to stay on topic, or they have the good sense to edit down the improv tangential rambles so that the podcast stays on topic.
Unsurprisingly it tends to be older (35+) people with some kind of professional experience putting out the better stuff. The 20-something dudebro postcasts where they just wing it the whole time are awful.
dudes rock
🤦
40 minute podcast about [subjext] is 10 minutes of actual content, 30 minutes of riffing, going off on tangents, taking about their other podcasts, sponsors, talking about their next podcasts, talking about each other, their day, etc…
You have not heard Dan Carling's hardcore history podcast
I see what you are saying and agree it's often the case, but there are gems out there
I know his podcasts well, I’ve listened to a lot of them. I’ve listened to far more podcasts that are more interested in hearing themselves talk.
