Yeah, but what's the name of the podcast?

EDIT:

Stop Podcasting Yourself's name is literally a commentary on these exact type of podcasts. SPY is wildly popular and has entire reoccurring segment called, "overheards" where they talk about things they overheard.

If that is trash taste, trash is whats for dinner.

Yep. The difference between investing a couple hours vs. hundreds of hours.

Every time I see these kinds of d-bags, I hear Bum Bag's "another white boy with a podcast" in my head.

This is why I almost exclusively listen to podcasts that are scripted, like casefile, freakonomics, this American life, radio lab, wait wait don't tell me, etc.

Before this, all too often I would find myself listening to people aimlessly chatting about what they had for breakfast and such, and I realized those that scripted their episodes made for a tremendously better listening experience.

Casefile is a slog. I think its fascinating but it will eat away at your soul after a while and the host knows it cause it's everything he can do to stay sane.

The others are top tier podcasts but once you've caught up, if you last that long, it's forever between releases.

Isn't wait wait don't tell me a game show?

I think radiolab is largely unscripted and also they leave a lot in that other podcasts would edit out. Imo this all makes the show as good as it is. It feels more authentic to me than a show like freakonomics for example. It's more like hanging out with several people who are mostly really intelligent and who ask good questions of others who can often provide smart answers. I love radio lab so much.. just my two cents as to why it's that good.

Radiolab is very much scripted and it’s one of the best podcasts ever forever

“Loops” is my favorite episode.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If it's "very much scripted" that would make me think there aren't utterances not written down ahead of time. I don't doubt a lot of it is scripted/outlined, but if it really is strictly so, they're absolutely crazy good at consistently hiding it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Oh there’s a lot of off-the-cuff/improvised stuff for sure! But the structure of every episode is very much scripted. Also I’m sorry some douche downvoted you, you’re not at all wrong.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I agree that the structure is very planned. Definitely a lot of intentional decisions going on there. Thanks for the validation! Sometimes Lemmy puzzles me with the things people are so quick to dispute, and often it's really just a matter of describing things slightly differently like we did here.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (4 children)

Radiolab is SO GOOD THO. If you haven’t listened to “Loops”, please do! It’s so hilarious and interesting.

“The Living Room” made both my partner and myself cry, as well.

The only unscripted podcasts I listen to are D&D sessions
