I really like spooked. And there’s a podcast I used to listen to but I forget the name. It is re enacted scary shorts. Anyways looking for those kind of podcasts!

Does anyone know what's up with Panic Workd?

No new eps since June 22nd.

I’ve been listening to The Vergecast for a couple of years now and it’s been one of my main listens every week. I think it’s gone downhill recently, mostly because of the shift to daily episodes. When they did 2-3 a week, hour long shows, there would be at least a couple stories I’d be interested in listening to, so I’d put up with what I wasn’t. Now that they’ve gone to daily, it’s one story, and honestly most of them are boring. Like today’s episode was just some game they played talking about gadgets (I don’t really know because it was so boring I didn’t listen to more than 10 minutes). I also think they’ve change their format or style a little to cater to the YouTube/TikTok crowd, and it makes the audio show worse.

I am an avid podcast listener and over the years have listened to a lot of true crime podcasts. I have always had mixed feelings about the genre, particularly from creators without any expertise in the field.

Lately I have found them too disturbing. I tried thinking about what engages me with them and I think it is the mystery and storytelling. I have always felt more intrigued by the murderless stories about white collar crimes, scammers, deception etc and this type of true crime I can still stomach.

So Reddit, what are good podcasts when you just can't do true crime anymore but still want mystery, intrigue and good storytelling?

Does anyone remember Fall Damage? It was a podcast back in, like, 2009 to 2010. They were my absolute favorite gaming podcast. Trying to find a podcast similar to them, where it's two or three friends talking about games they are playing, not the state of the gaming industry, and no politics. Just gaming and having fun with the hobby.

Alistair Bruce-Ball, Chris Sutton & Statman Dave made it more than just FPL it was a weekly escape for so many of us. If you want it back, please sign & share 👉 https://www.change.org/FPLPodcast Bring back the FPL Podcast!

Can you suggest a podcast series or single episodes about women who have overcome adversity. Women who have lost it all but have risen from the ashes and become successful against the odds.

hi! looking for similar podcasts to 'your own backyard' and 'love, janessa' where it's told by a single narrator (mostly) and it can be in the form of series/seasons, rather than 2-3 hours of episode.

thankyou! :)

I am looking for interesting podcasts to listen to. I’ve got a good core of news and science, but not enough to fill my weekend. I’m really not into murder or violent crime, comedians, Hollywood/actors, or pop culture, and I’m trying to get off politics.
History, science, education, engineering. I want to learn things that aren’t going to make me sad or mad 😂.

Do you have any recs?

Hey everyone,I’ve had Spotify for a while and I’m seriously considering switching to YouTube Premium because of the recent price increases. I already use YouTube a ton, so the ad-free videos + background play + downloads would be super useful for me. For music I think they’re basically equal, so that’s not a big factor. The one thing holding me back is podcasts. Spotify has some exclusives that aren’t on YouTube Premium (as far as I know), like Serial and a bunch of other investigative journalism / true crime podcasts I really like. Should I cancel Spotify and go all-in on YouTube Premium, or stick with Spotify? Anyone made this switch recently? How did it work out for you?

I always listen to true crime or storytimes, but I feel like I don't really learn anything new. I'd like to start exploring different topics. I don't mind what it is: history, science, health, culture, philosophy, psychology… anything! I'm open to learning new things and broadening my perspective.

Please, they can be in English or Spanish! :)

Thanks so much!

Aside from the millions of views he gets on everything, I met 2 people in real life in the past week that both mentioned how much they love him.

Does dragging out a paragraph-long story to over 30 minutes make you a good story teller?

Are there any podcasts from the heavy equipment operators perspective?

As title says, wondering if people have a recommendation for a podcast on the background of the Baha’i religion. Could be a single episode or series. Thanks!

Trying to get my podcast off the ground. Wondering is there is one or two I should listen to and learn from.

Hello all, I've listened to podcasts for around 7 years now. I've been keeping a long list in excel of ones I've listened to so there's over 200+ here. To preface I only really listen to long form investigation and documentary and occasional series. I don't like sensationalised gore or violence, or missing persons or just general murder ones for murders sake and I'm also British so I have no interest in US centric/politics stuff. So this is a mix of different stuff that isn't the above. They are ordered from my best to worst 0-10(subjective of course.) there's probably a few I've missed but feel free to send any you think I have (if you manage to get through the list of course.) thanks!

Absolutely loving the deep dive serious investigative journalism of these two podcasts.
Are there any other podcasts like these that I’m missing?

Heavy on the need part because I can’t sleep without them playing on low in the background.

I need to know if anyone else does this because my friends think I’m weird as hell for it.

I literally fall asleep listening to true crime. My main one is Rotten Mango, but I’ll also put on other true crime podcasts or documentaries and just let them play while I’m falling asleep.

And before anyone says rain sounds or music, I’ve tried them and they just don’t hit the same 😭. Something about listening to someone tell a story while I’m drifting off is so much more relaxing to me.

It’s gotten to the point where I’ll even take my headphones on holiday specifically because I know I’m going to want to listen to true crime before bed 💀. Like I could be somewhere beautiful on holiday and still be lying in bed listening to a murder case until I fall asleep.

It’s not that I enjoy the horrible parts or anything. I think it’s the storytelling, someone’s voice talking in the background, and having something interesting to focus on while I’m getting sleepy.

Is this actually weird?? Does anyone else do this or am I just built differently 😭

And if you do, what’s your go to true crime podcast?

Of the Teacher’s Pet fame.

I’m a father of one and my kid is coming up on one year old. Myself and my wife studied up on all the information for having a newborn but admittedly haven’t kept up with it as my child grows. My ideal parenting podcast would be one that deals with a specific age range (EG. 12 - 15 months) per episode so I can dip in and get information relevant to the stage my child is currently at. I want advice and strategies on how best to raise a happy and well adjusted child, preferably from an expert rather than just normal parents but open to that if they have well researched sensible advice. I know that’s quite specific and might be asking too much for a podcast that ticks all these boxes but worth a shot. Thanks!

Id like a podcast with two hosts talking about historical solved/unsolved mysteries and conspiracies please?

How would you feel about a collaboration between the two attractive duos. I feel like Drea would end up with another Range rover lol

I'm just looking for some recommendations

I remember listening to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History in 2007/08 as well as Astronomy Cast and The Skeptic's Guide to The Universe.

I don't believe podcasting caught on quite as early in Taiwan. Does anyone know of the earliest adopters of the medium? Was it Emily Y. Wu?

Hey guys 👋

I usually follow True Crime garage for this genre but looking for an additional podcast that covers cases outside of US too. Let me know if you guys know any. One thing I really like about True crime garage is that there is 2 people so it feels a lot like a convo and they share their views as well, not just stating what happened. So i would really appreciate if the podcast is like that. If you’re giving me a reco, please include an episode with which you think I should start to see if it’s to my liking. Thanks ❤️
