I recently got into podcasts, and it was like opening my eyes (or rather ears) to this awesome medium. I’ve noticed a lot of threads asking for podcast recommendations, and even some OTs for specific networks and shows like Idle Thumbs, Hardcore History, and Earwolf.
But I thought a general Podcast OT would be welcome and helpful. The goal here is, kind of like the Comic OTs, catch-all discussion and recommendations on podcasts of all kinds, as well as the behind-the-scenes of starting and setting up podcasts . A friendly place for newcomers to get into the medium and others to discuss their favorites. what they’re currently listening to, what new upcoming podcasts they’re anticipating, and hidden gems they’ve discovered.
I’m relatively new to podcasts myself and less knowledgeable on certain subjects like sports, so any suggestions for networks, resources, and shows to add to the collection below would be welcome
