The New Normal - Podcasts

We’re drawing closer to the fabled Podcast Event Horizon where no one will have any time to listen to all the podcasts anymore as we’ll all be too busy either making or guesting on them. Here’s a brief glimpse at some of the podcasty gems likely to be heading your way soon.

Judge My Shelves
Each week, the hosts hold a Zoom call with an unwilling participant and then spend the remainder of the podcast bitching about the hideous decor that they could see in the background.
Verdict:- Shamefully satisfying.

What’s That Stench?
Each week, the hosts try to describe a selection of excruciating unpleasant smells that they are experiencing in the hope of provoking an actual sense reaction in the listener.
Verdict:- Less than useless.

Podcasts For Dummies
Show aimed at telling people who don’t know how to listen to podcasts how to listen to podcasts. Ended after one episode due to audience not knowing how to listen to podcasts.
Verdict:- Tragically pointless.

Mimecast
Following a spoken introduction, each week is a forty five minute demonstration of the art of mime, followed by a fifteen review (also in mime).
Verdict:- Curiously relaxing.

Podcast Commentary
Famous podcasters listen to podcasts by other famous podcasters and record a live running audio commentary over the top of that podcast.
Verdict:- Utterly unlistenable.

Just a few of the aural treats soon to be coming your way. (Unless they already depressingly have…)
