A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
Saying you don't like podcasts is like saying you don't like music. There's so many, made by so many people, in so many different ways, on so many subjects, that there's bound to be at least a couple you think are amazing. I mean, if all podcasts were just a bunch of dude-bros having a verbal wank into a microphone once or twice a week, then yeah, miss me with that shit. But a lot of them put a lot of effort into producing a high quality professional sounding show. Some of my favorites are 99% Invisible, which is a very well made show about not so obvious features of architecture and design; One Song, where they break popular songs down into all the isolated tracks and talk about how it was all put together; This Podcast Will Kill You, where they do well researched histories of diseases and toxins, their discovery, treatment, social impacts, etc; and You Are Not So Smart, which is a podcast about psychology and sociology. Other people already mentioned Behind the Bastards and Darknet Diaries, which I also listen to regularly. Chances are that no matter what subjects or hobbies you have a deep interest in there's at least one or two really well made podcasts about it.
Yeah, I've also listened to podcasts that were essentially radio plays like Alice Isn't Dead. The format is spoken media, unfortunately yes like with radio the majority devolved into lowest common denominator shit with the "dude bro verbal wank" being the equivalent of the morning zoo radio show and the right wing political rants being the equivalent of Rush Limbaugh et al. But there's people talking about things worth listening to
Hell, one of the coolest ones is Making Gay History where a man who interviewed a bunch of pioneers of gay history in the 80s for a book of the same name released the original audio. For anyone interested in the topic it's absolutely worth a listen.
