Sinisterhood- stories about all things sinister- true crime, paranormal, etc. Hosted by two ladies, one of which is a lawyer, which really adds to the discussions!
Tooth and Claw- animal attack stories, but with a focus on education instead of sensationalism. I hardly ever go into the wilderness, but if I do run into a bear at any point, I'm going to be SO prepared!!
I mostly listen to the Rooster Teeth podcasts, so here goes:
FaceJam is a podcast that nominally is about trying every new (limited time) fast food creation to see if you should try it too, but it's more a comedy podcast where they talk about their encounters with staff/public at the restaurant, tell jokes about fast food, etc. 10/10 would recommend.
RTP (their official rooster teeth podcast) is something like 900 episodes long, but all of that can be discounted if you want for their more recent (i.e. like four episodes ago) change of hosts and format to three incredibly funny comedians and writers who just wanna tell you their jokes, and they nail it. 9/10
Lastly, if you just want something bonkers the fuckface podcast is a podcast with three hosts best described as a lot of Lore About Nothing. It goes in wild tangents and has some of the stupidest things I've ever heard in it, but it's quite funny... Albeit hard to look up or talk about with others.
Hmm, is the comment-leaver status only if you’ve talked about it on one of the official platforms? The deep lore is hard to keep straight. Either way I think we don’t really have to worry about it here, your secret is safe with me! 🤐
Some other community members have picked out good introductory episodes that don't have too many in-jokes, especially because with all podcasts they get better as they go on and so the earlier episodes while not bad are not as good as the current stuff. However, my suggestion would still be to start at the beginning and work from there. It's not the sort of podcast you have to stay up to date on or else you'll miss out, so just take your time with it, let it fill in the lulls between your other podcasts' releases, and you'll catch up in no time!
