    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.

        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.
