Podcasts

I’ve picked up the habit of listening to podcasts. Recently I’ve been listening non-stop to podcasts. It started out with an Australia-based podcast (Casefile True Crime). I actually managed to finish all of the podcasts available at TuneIn and Apple Podcasts. Then it fizzled off a bit and I listened to music again. Then recently I found a new podcast (True Crime Garage). These 2 podcasts are pretty easy to my ear. I listened to a couple other crime-related podcasts but the hosts just didn’t get me right.

So for now, these are the 2 (well, one, coz I’ve gone through all existing available Casefile ones) that I’m listening to now. Constant. So much so, yesterday I was listening to it and then I was conked out and dozed for a bit… knowing I was listening to the podcast and I don’t remember what exactly I heard, but I know I was listening to voices as I dozed for the bit. Which is dumb, really, as soon, all the cases and incidents just kind of blend together. And then I don’t remember which is which. Huh.

One of the more memorable ones was a recent Casefile case, one about a Pizza man delivery and a scavenger hunt. The Casefile guy does a pretty good job despite him being the only guy reading (or reciting) alone. Then a couple days ago, I was just clicking around Netflix and saw a documentary on the exact same case. Wow. Poor guy. The Netflix show was split into 4 episodes, so it was far more detailed than Casefile. It’s so sad.

Although the True Crime Garage has some 100+ episodes, I guess I’d soon go through them eventually. Does anyone have any favorite Podcast to recommend?

I listen to:
Forked Up (Cooking/Foodie)
RadioLab (science)
Studio 360 (entertainment/film)
Travel With Rick Steves

And a few fandom-specific podcasts, like the Riverdale Register for Archie/Riverdale.

I also listen to a podcast called Sleep With Me at night. It's surrealist bedtime stories to put you to sleep.

I prefer ones that are more conversational. I haven't gotten into any true crime podcasts but True Crime Garage sounds interesting.

Those podcasts sound pretty interesting! I'll have to see if they are on Google Play. I listen to podcasts at work because the talking in my ears helps me focus (and the earbuds let my overly social coworkers politely know I'm trying to work and not looking to chat at the moment). My favorite is The NoSleep Podcast, based off of the NoSleep subreddit. They have some really incredible voice actors that read scary stories, and the music is phenomenal. It is most definitely not for the faint of heart, though. Another podcast I enjoy when I'm not in the mood for scary stories is Don't Feed the Trolls. Most of the time it's just two guys talking about whatever is on their minds. It went through a bit of a religious self-help phase, so if that's your thing then cool, and if not you can skip those. They also have interviews with some cool entrepreneurs and people who lead generally interesting lives. Their banter can get really funny, too. I can't lie, I've laughed out loud before and earned funny looks from my coworkers.
