Dear diary, today I
became a captain.
I guess the dollop and behind the bastards might be something you like? Basically telling the story of horrible and weird people of history in a funny way.

My momma told me ( hilarious, but though provoking black conspiracies. My favorite comedy podcast atm)

Deep cover (now season 2, mob land) true crime but each season follows one guy and it gets pretty wild.

Timesuck. Not a big fan of his style, but a lot of people love him, and he talks a lot about crazy stories, conspiracies, serial killers etc and is sometimes really funny. But I feel the episodes drag a bit sometimes, haven’t listened in a while though.

Operation midnight climax - about the cia men who for years drugged people and ran their very own brothel and it’s pretty loving wild.

Wind of change - cia conspiracy about the song.

The mlk tapes (who really murdered MLK)
Listening to this now. Interesting, had never heard much about this.

Mystery team inc. - maybe trying too hard to copy the my favorite murder vibe?

Not really a podcast, but I recently discovered the "Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell" channel on Youtube. It's short videos on questions like "what if earth got kicked out of the solar system", "what if the moon crashed into the earth" and "why blue whales don't get cancer". Using cute and colorful animations. Visually it looks like a kid show, but it does occasionally get complex, so I'm not even sure I would recommend it to kids. More like teenagers. Also the topics are kinda dark and hosed up, mostly.

There's also a german version channel (Dinge erklärt).

I keep posting Youtube-stuff because I feel it attracts the same demographic, and if you don't like video just tab out and do audio-only.

I would like some recommendations. I've listened to less than an hour of podcast content since their inception mostly due to me being a stubborn rear end in a top hat and refusing to listen to them for a long, long time for "reasons".

Now that I decided that I'd like to listen to something other than music 24/7, I find the variety overwhelming and I'm horrible at choosing them. The last two times I tried podcasts I picked something with an interesting description and then was quickly driven away. One was a true crime podcast and one of the hosts sounded like he was pinching his nose whenever he wasn't laughing like Lewis Scolnick from RotN. Holy hell it was grating. The other was a cryptid podcast where the voices were fine, but it was like an SA thread. It was ~30 minutes long and after a quick on-topic teaser, there was 10 minutes of really interesting KFC discussion.

tl;dr
Basically, I'm looking for anything that would have fit into the first few years of the PYF Unnerving Articles thread. Everything from cryptids to weird/unexplained topics whether they're probably fiction (Oak Island) or real (think Toynbee tiles, Centralia, PA, etc), mild conspiracy topics (like conspiracies surrounding JFK, but not gay frogs and lizard people conspiracies). True Crime murder mystery topics also fine as long as the host doesn't sound like a reject for the cast of Revenge of the Nerds.

If anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears.

Chilluminati would be right up your alley if you don't mind a more comedic/light tone.

I'm looking for something to listen to while recovering from migraines. Something soft and soothing with a pleasant-sounding narrator, but interesting enough that it keeps me from falling asleep.

Something like Welcome to Night Vale would fit the bill (I'd re-run that, but I'm listening to it with someone now and don't want to spoil that experience). I also wouldn't mind something lightly funny; I like Rude Tales of Magic, but it's too noisy for my post-migraine brain. Non-fiction would be fine too; I find most things interesting, but maybe not topics like true crime or child labor while I'm trying to recover from my head exploding.

That was one of the first podcasts I listened to. Stopped years ago and forgot about it. Is it still good? I also just remembered that the same guy has another podcast where he tells riddles to a couple guests, was fun too. The riddles in the beginning are incredibly bad though:)

Assuming you already like Comedy Bang Bang and Hollywood Handbook, a lot of the CBB Presents shows have been in-character improv shows like Teacher's Lounge. You Can't Handle The Sleuths, Hey Randy! (A Randy Snutz Show), Entree PeeE Neur's Entrepreneur Tour, and others. There's also the Gino Lombardo Show.

Also the Big Grande group has a bunch of other shows now besides Teacher's Lounge. Their website: https://biggrandewebsite.com/

E1 is the best comedy podcast in general, and they do a mix of improv and scripted stuff. The premise is that every episode is the first and only episode of a different podcast.

Here's a good representative episode

Way late on this, but Hey Riddle Riddle. It's ostensibly a riddle podcast but is way more focused on improv scenes. All 3 hosts used to perform together at Second City in Chicago.

Doesn't appear so.

Might be nice to have a creator's resource thread but also I don't want to make it which might be why we don't have one with no one wanting to scrape together the resources links and such.

I liked Hello From the Magic Tavern and didn't turn against it but yeah it got a bit repetitive and eventually dropped it from my subscriptions. I had a similar opinion of Welcome to Nightvale where it was fun for a while but after a while felt like they spent the top part of the show running through all their catchphrases and it got predictable.

Although it is fun playing Jackbox games and hearing Chunt pop up to do voiceovers.

Something like that would be incredibly useful. I’m too green to make that OP. I managed to launch my podcast but there was definitely some throwing poo poo at the wind and hoping for the best. Sure, there’s Google and YouTube, but I noticed a lot of them just trying to sell you on their classes. Goon word carries far more won’ weight in my experience.

There’s a new scripted fiction podcast called Pretty Dim Wonder. I’d compare it to Welcome to Nightvale, it’s a similar thing about slowly exploring a town that’s a little bit off. But, imo, with better writing and more natural dialogue.

Looking for podcasts (or youtubes, whichever) that talk about things that are an absolute shambles from start to finish. I want to hear one or more people dryly describing a completely baffling series of decisions with entirely predictable consequences. I don't want to hear about honest mistakes or unfortunate accidents, I want "What did you think would happen" to be the byline.

Ideally low stakes, the defunctland fastpass episode would be the gold standard for what I'm looking for.
