I spend a lot of time listening to podcasts or listening just to audio of YouTube videos.

Most of what I listen to is fully scripted and edited, often with just one person talking. A small amount of what I listen to have two people with unscripted conversations that are edited to keep the episode on topic.

I’ve tried listening to fully unedited live conversation podcasts with anywhere from 2 to 4 people talking, and every one of them has driven me absolutely crazy. I usually pick episodes based on the topic in the title, to always find that either nobody in the podcasts knows/cares about the topic, or only one person knows about it. It results in conversations turning into mindnumbing rambling about nothing or one person explaining a topic to another person who is uninterested or just stupid.

If there is a podcast with multiple hosts that actually share an interest in a topic and keep it reasonably on topic I would really like to try it out.

    I don’t know if it is recommendation material but it is the only one that comes to mind within my subscriptions.

    How Bizarre, four friends rambling a bit about life before getting into whatever topic they have, usually creepy tales, paranormal stuff, true crime, weird news, whatever. The show feels like their excuse to keep in touch. No ads.
