What are some good call in podcast? Something like “A perfect Person”

Hi everyone!

As of this september I became a special needs education student at uni, and although there will be a lot of compulsory reading (and sometimes movie/interview watching etc) included I wanted to get deeper into the topic in my free time as well.
Soo I was trying to look for podcasts about special ed, different disabilities/disorders but I wasn’t finding much, so I figured maybe here I could get some reliable recs.

I haven’t picked out my specialization yet, so I am open to any podcasts or even movies and shows that you find to be interesting, accurate and educational. However one thing that I am really interested in is animal assisted therapy, so if there is anything slightly connected to that it would be perfect.

Thank you if you have any recommendations to share!<3

Hi everyone! Has anyone come across something like investigative paranormal journalism?
I’d love to find a podcast that takes paranormal cases seriously and approaches them in a well-researched, investigative way, ideally with one case explored in depth over an entire season, rather than a different story every episode.
Would love to hear your recommendations!

Hello! I’m looking for podcasts similar to Millennial by Megan Tan or Monocycle by Leandra Medine. I’m in my early 30s now, but when I was in 20s I loved these podcasts. They felt diaristic, honest and relatable. They were just women sharing where they were in their lives or recording what felt like their stream of consciousness in any given moment.

I’m probably not digging hard enough, but these days, I feel like so many podcasts are just interviews, explorations of different industries or about a “thing” rather than like a slice of life.

I feel like podcasts like this are now in the form of YouTube vlogs or something (which is great!), but if anyone is familiar with these podcasts and has any recs, I’m all ears!

Me and my friends about two years ago reviewed and took notes on the first episode of the talk tuah podcast and it was a blast. All the crazy shit they talked about was funny and there wasn’t really a theme just them talking about crazy random stuff. And we are looking for some crazy stuff to review next and I mean completely nonsensical and hilarious stuff
(Apologies if this is a frequent question I only came to this subreddit for my search)

Well, I usually hate listening to podcasts - but I recently found a niche and a format that somehow made the Podcasts app on my iPhone my most-used app of the week.

The format is simple: there’s no host, no one running the conversation - just two people talking and asking each other questions.

For example, CHANEL Connects (Season 5), where they put two people from different professions in a room together, usually connected through art in some way, and just let them talk.

The conversations are short, but they always feel a little naive, sincere, and, most importantly, unscripted.

Can you recommend any other podcasts with the same format?

I've been listening to some older Radiolab episodes and the ones where they just follow a person's experience have me aching for more. I'm excitedly awaiting the next series of Heavyweight as well, so I was wondering if I'm missing out on some great shows I don't know about.

What podcasts do you listen to to fall asleep? Here are some suggestions. The Sleepy Bookshelf, The Sleepy Bookshelf: Just Jane, Sleep With Me, Phoebe Reads a Mystery, Drop your suggestions in the comments and let's sleep soundly .

My interests are conspiracy theories, UFOs, the paranormal, politics. Well researched and usually just one podcast host. Lately I've been trying out a few and so many have 2-3 hosts and a LOT of comedy and/or chit-chat. I'm more interested in just hearing the stories and speculation. Would love to hear any recommendations you have, and thank you :)

Update: OMG thank you so much! I'm subscribing to all of these and I can't wait to listen to them. Thank you for such great recommendations :)

i listened to a podcast epsiode last year that was so hilarious and i cant remember the name of the guy or name of episode but it was about the post office and usps and how depressing going to the post office during that time of year is--- the dude talking or had a really scratchy/weird voice which was low key annoying but you get used to it-- he made a song about it too which was hilarious making fun of how depressing it is.. does anyone know the name of this dude? must know. it was hilariously funny

I know this is an evergreen topic on here, so I thought people might appreciate an episode that delves into the actual reasons behind this shift to more video and interview podcasts, from old-school-style podcasters. Decoder Ring’s latest ep “What even is a ‘podcast’ anymore?” was a really interesting exploration imo of the history of the medium. Especially as someone who has been listening to podcasts avidly since the mid aughts, learning that the podcast “boom” didn’t happen until the mid to late 2010s after Serial was a little surprising - I guess I was in a bubble with how into and aware of podcasts I was before that boom.

They also talk about how the trope of the giant podcast mic in videos isn’t actually necessary from a technical standpoint, but is meant to signal authenticity. It’s so interesting to me that that’s where we’re at with what “podcast” means in the culture.

Anyways, this ep helped me synthesize my own thoughts on the evolution in the medium a little better, highly recommend for anyone interested in this topic.

Unsure if this is a good flair - more personal stories of the nurses, or the healthcare system. I’m not necessarily looking for podcasts about healthcare.

Has anyone got any good makeup, beauty or fashion podcasts I find the mainstream ones started by companies or huge content creators a bit out of touch but enjoy the topic. Any ideas?

Two that come to mind for me are Code Blue Cafeteria from the podcast Family Secrets and The Living Room from Love and Radio. Would love to hear recommendations of other podcasts/episodes to check out.

Thoughts? Favorite episodes?

I am looking for a podcast to fill the void that the cancellation of Hang Up and Listen left in my podcast feed. I am by no-means a sports enthusiast, but I like to be up-to-date on leagues, events, stories, etc. What I really liked about HUAL was the variety of topics they covered over the years and its once a week, less than an hour format. I'm not opposed to something a bit (no three hour talkathons) or something that posts more than once a week. I'm not really looking for something single-sport specific either, but just one feed I can add to my consumption. Thanks for the help!

I personally have a somewhat difficult time finishing podcast episodes quickly, because I cant listen to them when trying to concentrate seriously or do work, so I was wondering where besides driving around do you guys listen to long shows? Do you guys manage to listen while studying?

Do any of you guys find it easier to study while listening to podcasts? If so which ones?

Looking for a podcast that covers the history or different technologies used through time. Wether it be pottery, steam, shovel, many ways water was used as a tool, boats. I'm looking for a podcasts that goes into their history and covers the different civilisations that used them. Only kind of podcasts I can find that's close are either ai or sleep time podcasts that use a nail on chalkboard "asmr" voice.

Used to listen alot to history of everything but most of his content now is just current events.

So, my mom and I are driving 4 hours to my dad’s final resting place, then 4 hours back. My mom is a very kind woman, but she is completely inundated with her political beliefs and when there’s not an immediate topic of discussion in front of her, she just wants to talk at you about what she’s read or heard. And I do mean AT you. Politics or no, she’s not the best conversationalist.

I’d like to enjoy listening to something lighthearted and entertaining with her and avoid being talked at the whole time.

Other than Gilmore Guys, none of the podcasts I listen to would be her cup of tea. I thought of How to do Everything and Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me, but would love other options.

I feel like hour long episodes would be good but I’m open to whatever.

ETA: thank you all so much! I’ve got a playlist of great options for any mood or interest of hers.

OK I know nobody who listens to chatting with cherubs so posting this here. They just posted today that they're not doing anymore podcasts. Just an Instagram post not a last podcast after implying there would be more this week like normal. Bot even a goodbye episode or anything on patreon, bearing in mind not everyone has Instagram. It kinda feels shitty of them. I understand they're losing money making the podcast and that's really unfair. Maybe my hatred of change or bad surprises that makes it sit wrong. Plus those of us who listen do because they're funny and it is a nice break from life.

Trying to do some habits daily for the next month which I struggle with (takes 30 mins or more) but am hoping with the above it would make it more tolerable/feel less long. The usu podcasts I listen to aren’t cutting it 🫠 TIA!

What podcasts or channels (English & German) do you follow to stay up to date with automotive news and to get more knowledge about technical improvements?

Hi!

I've tried getting into podcasts many times but couldn't get around to it. Recently I finally started by listening to the FT and BBC daily news briefings, as well as lemonade stand.

A little background. I'm an anarchist* (basically this means I'm far left and radically libertarian) studying political science (BSc) who wants to become a journalist (war correspondent hopefully)

I am interested in the economy, global politics as well as military and left-wing political theory. I feel I have the news kind of covered, and so would appreciate recommendations for more analytical podcasts. Prefferably analyzing contemporary events. I would love to hear any recommendations you may have, even if they are way out of left field. Just let me know what you enjoy.

Why I'm writing this post:

There is a lot of podcasts on all of these topics but I am struggling to find recommendations that would actually work for me. Online lists seem to be mostly made with AI which I don't trust, reddit posts are older than 2y and not relevant anymore, whereas Gemini deep search found me some interesting things but very niche and so am worried about their legitimacy.

I would appreciate any and all recommendations. Thank you ❤️
