Seasider Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I know about Serial and Limetown. I have a number of theology and news shows, but I'm hungry for something story-ish. I'd like to hear your suggestions. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I dunno about storyish but a highly under-rated imo podcast is The Thomas Jefferson Hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasider Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Ok so am I the only one who thought the OP wanted an instructional video for folding clothes? Hahahaha! No. For the laundry, I don't need a tutorial. I need a caddy. I mean a real live one, not just a fancy basket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Word Nerd Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) The Message was weird, but I enjoyed it. It sounds more professionally produced than Limetown, and the acting is better too.

I think you just go to itunes and have it delivered there. I don't know how to access the earlier content. Check the itunes store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechWife Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Ok so am I the only one who thought the OP wanted an instructional video for folding clothes? My first thought was similar - it was "How is a podcast going to help her learn to fold clothes? Wouldn't a youtube video be better?" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbutton Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Well, I am not familiar with the ones you mentioned, so this may not be your style, but I like Stuff You Missed in History. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Kate Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I've really enjoyed StartUp. It is the story of this guy who starts a new business. The guy comes from public radio and is very good on the air. They've done two seasons and I've really enjoyed it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talk to the trees Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 The Truth is one of my favorite radio drama podcasts. I also enjoy the In Our Time podcasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Elle Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I enjoy This American Life and Radiolab. They both share stories of people. I also enjoy Science Friday and America's Test Kitchen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mergath Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 The Black Tapes podcast is pretty good. Some of the acting is a little strained, but a few episodes really freaked me out. I second the Message. That one was good. Not a story, but Stuff You Should Know is a lot of fun. The two guys who do it are great together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mergath Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Ok so am I the only one who thought the OP wanted an instructional video for folding clothes? Lol... I knew what the OP meant, but only because for me they're dish-washing podcasts. ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Wait, what?? I had no clue there were podcasts that were dramas?!? Whose job is it to keep me informed??? They failed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasider Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Thanks so much everyone! My dad and I used to listen to radio mysteries on Sunday nights, I'm an old Prairie Home Companion fan, and I did reader's theater in high school, so the podcast drama format is something I truly enjoy. I don't mind that it's a tad melodramatic (I have been known to listen to the gospelly Unshackled), and less than stellar production quality is fine since my best memories are from oooooold shows. I have enjoyed Limetown but the production schedule is painfully slow. I tackled a big organizing project a few days ago and went through all of the Message, that was fun! I will give these others a try. Debating on the first year of Serial, I haven't listened to that one but for some reason I don't feel drawn to it.

Word Nerd Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Debating on the first year of Serial, I haven't listened to that one but for some reason I don't feel drawn to it. It really is worth giving Serial a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajfries Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Let's see...Stuff You Should Know is really good. I also like Reply All, LOVED season 1 of Serial (and am enjoying the 2nd season); Undisclosed goes even deeper. Startup is good, too. I've liked all the Moth episodes I've listened, too.
