The following don’t seem to fit any of these (and they’re all excellent):
- Radiolab
- Savage Love
- Throughline
- Climate Denier’s Playbook
- The Urbanist Agenda
- CBC Embedded
My list includes 99% invisible, That’s absurd please elaborate, Lateral
I would like to add “last podcast on the left” for consideration on this list
I listen to audio dramas and real-play rpgs.
YouTube personalities talk about stuff for 3 hours
Darknet Diaries: lmao we live in a surveillance state
They forgot:
The Shouty and Mumbles Show
Dead podcast about your niche interest that produced three episodes in 2012.
The “informative” podcast where one host pretends to be an idiot to ask obvious questions so we can drag 3 minutes of content out to half an hour and sell more mattresses and socks.
Church sermons.
There’s also the hybrid ones where the two hosts are your first two examples at the same time. Shouty makes stupid questions stubbornly while mumbly tries to convince them they’re wrong.
Missing the science podcast, but I’m not sure there is a humorous way to say "explains a scientific concept over 30-150 minutes. "
Funny Leftists describing the abhorrent crimes of history.

If your podcast isn’t fictional, spooky, and gay I don’t want it.
Pseudopod? Welcome to Night Vale?
What about Hello From The Magic Tavern?
I’m not sure David McRaney’s You Are Not So Smart fits any of these.
Or Dear Hank & John either, for that matter.
Where’s the “fashy youngster who believes if he misgenders trans people and calls all immigrants criminals, the evangelicals won’t ban his anime porn”?
Not sure that My brother my brother and me fits this chart.
Shut up and take my upvote!
History podcasts are my catnip at the moment. I’m not alone.
History podcasts are my catnip at the moment
Mine as well. Regular history for sure (I was an archaeology major after all), but also history mixed with category one, murders. I love a good historical unsolved mystery.
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
I didn’t really like their first podcast because it had too much combat. Do they change later on?
Their more recent stuff has better narrative, I think. Like I am really enjoying their Shadow dark campaign, I thoroughly enjoy their Delta Green campaign, Get in the Trunk. They don’t avoid combat but I think they do a good job of growing the show beyond rolling dice and excitedly shouting about 20’s or bemoaning 1’s. For me at least, I get they’re not everyone’s cup of tea, but they hit every note for me.
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.
Have you listened to the magnus archives yet?
E: you’d think that, after typing “magnus” at least 300 times, my phone wouldn’t autocorrect “magnus” to “major”, and yet, it did.
