General Podcast Discussions Decided to Listen to New Yorker Article Instead of a Podcast

42 Upvotes

Don’t recommend. Folks, keep listening to actual people talking, because the article I listened to was AI and it was excruciating . Wooden delivery and mispronounced words and names. Not the future, because it was unlistenable.

Health & Welbeing Best podcast when getting (re)-started distance running?

4 Upvotes

For context, I loved Nike's "TRAINED" postcast when I was training for the only full marathon I've done, back in 2019. It was motivational and somewhat holistic in the sense that it reminded me to also meditate, general good habits, strength and recovery training. It's also the only podcast I could really get into while actually running. Well, I'm looking to get back into running seriously, and I'm starting from scratch. Maybe even in a "below zero" from where I was most of my "running life" which is about a decade in terms of regular long distance mileage. I've gained 50lbs over the past yr, and need to lose about 30 to be in a healthy weight range. On top of that, I have next to zero muscle mass. I feel like I have older workout/training plans I could use and/or could make one up fairly easily, so I'm not looking for training tips, but would love some motivational podcasts to listen to as well to hype me up and help with other habits (i.e. strength training, yoga, wellness etc). Thank you!

True Crime Everything They Missed

Post image
5 Upvotes

Just finished this one and WOW what a story!!

If you are looking for a podcast like the Curtis Flowers season of In the Dark, you're going to want to give this a listen.

There's a tie in to the A&E show The First 48 as well. If you're like me and love the show, be prepared to see behind the curtain and not be happy with the view. I was so disappointed to see some familiar detectives doing some pretty shoddy policework and some very questionable interview techniques.

I will ad this caveat...it definitely does not have great production. It's her first podcast and things get clunky. There are cringe worthy ad spots where you can hear 5 seconds of mouse clicking to bring up her script and then awkward silence at the end of the ad and more mouse clicking. She could definitely benefit from a better mic and a better editor, as much of the dialogue feels like it's been spliced together by an amateur, feeling very "clunky" at times.

That being said, this story is incredible. I didn't think I'd find another case where a journalist makes a real difference in a legal case since listening to In The Dark, and then here comes Everything They Missed.

I almost gave up on this pod because of the issues I listed above and I'm so glad I didn't. You'll be outraged, shocked at the police misconduct (or not), hopeful, angry, sick to your stomach, and more. Every time I thought I knew how this story was going to go, I was wrong...all the way up to and including the last episode.

General Podcast Discussions Looking for scripted storytelling/radio drama podcasts

6 Upvotes

Hi, everyone, I wanted to get people's opinions on new scripted/radio drama podcasts I could try, preferably with a minimum of ads.

My favorite podcast so far is The World's Greatest Con by Brian Brushwood, but new episodes are only out every six months or so.

I listened to Cautionary Tales for a while, and I really liked the style and narration, but the ads just got to be too much. Same thing with Creepy - the narration was great, but the first episode was 11 minutes, and only 4 of them were actual content. I still listen to Swindled, but it's trending that way for me, too.

Any others in the genre that you like or recommend?

My favorite podcasts include in your own backyard, serial(!!!), if books could kill, an arm and a leg, the dropout, You're wrong about, the dream s1

Love anything investigative or tells the story of something beyond what meets the eye and should be kinda fast paced. I usually listen while on a commute or doing chores lol. listening to we crashed now lolol.

basically any podcast which is sort of a podcast version of you can see everything the movie.

thanks! drop your best :)

General Podcast Discussions Looking for quiet podcasts to sleep to?

15 Upvotes

I can't fall asleep without listening to a podcast, and the podcast needs to be specific so It is kinda specific request, so bare with me,
The podcast I listen to isn't in English but I already finished all of the episodes so now I'm looking for a new one and hopefully I can find it because I can't find any yet
I'm looking for a specific delivery mode of something that can combine all self-development/emotional wellness, mindfulness, and philosophical reflections on daily life, and the tone to be narrative-driven, I want the narrator to feel calm and almost as they are speaking to me, I tried to look around for some, but not all had the stuff I'm looking for.

General Podcast Discussions Engaging podcasts to listen to while working out

30 Upvotes

These days I'm super into Heavyweight but I'm almost done with it. I really appreciate Jonathan's humor and the real life stories are very human narrated in the best way possible that i don't keep seeing the time since i got on my indoor bike or treadmill.

I just need some podcasts that keep me engaged and motivated to keep my legs working.

Any genre works. Narrative non fiction was never my genre but Heavyweight proved it wrong. True Crimes are okay as long as they are investigative rather than just gorey details. Audio dramas are cool too. Equally ready for some out of the box stuff! What do you all listen while working out?

Seeing as how H3 pod will never be the same I was wondering if there are similar YouTube shows where the hosts watch random internet clips, TikToks, viral videos, and weird internet drama, then react and riff on them together?

Hey y’all! I am currently working on a project that is set in around 1718… The golden age piracy and don’t know too much about charting and navigating, nautical warfare and all that. So I’m looking for podcast recommendations having to do with anything nautical from that era. Piracy, Buccaneers, the Royal Navy, privateering, merchant shipping, nautical warfare tactics from the era, etc. Anything like that would be extremely helpful! Thank you so much!

Other Podcast Genre I’m in search of a podcast featuring people talking endlessly about nothing.

1 Upvotes

My main requirements are that the speaker uses complete English words and sentences that aren’t literally procedurally generated. The subject should be useless to my real life and the voice should be calming without an overt ASMR aesthetic. Longer is also better.

Thanks y’all

Sports Looking for sports "adjacent" podcasts.

3 Upvotes

I'm missing the Distraction podcast. I like podcasts that are like friends who are sports fans but also talk about other stuff happening in the world. I really like Katie Nolan's Casuals and of course Pablo Torre Finds out. Any other funny, light, sports "adjacent" podcasts? I'm more into mlb and nfl but I like to hear about nhl and nba enough to know what's generally going on and if there are any interesting stories happening.

Horror & Paranormal Podcast about alien species?

4 Upvotes

I was hoping to listen to some podcasts about different alien species. Preferably something that’s not too high energy, something I could listen to while in bed and can drift off to.

It doesn’t have to be posed as factor or fiction as long as it’s not overly loud and obnoxious with the hosts
