Amber.
Didn't start one but I'm gonna be on one lol
Anyone wanna start one together? We can ramble about politics, guitar amps, video games, and....
checks amount of podcasts out there
Shit.
None, but I know three very white women who started three separate podcasts.
One is just bafflingly banal in a way that's almost fun. Just some random nobody stuck in her tiny-ass town talking about an annoying customer at her job or what she made for dinner last night.
One is by an early-mid twenties mega-party girl, and it's about, well, partying and getting lit as fuck. Good for them, I guess, but it's really not very good. Feels like it's made only for people who already know them personally and care to listen to their stories.
The last one is actually rather dope. It's about breaking taboos surrounding things that are universal to the human experience. It's more specific than that, but I don't want to doxx them or, by proxy, myself.
Ok, maybe this is a terrible idea for a podcast, but I'm gonna throw it out anyways: A history podcast styled like a current events podcast. Let me explain. Each episode, a specific historical period is explored and the hosts adopt personas from that period and discuss what was going on at that time like a normal podcaster discusses events now. For example, a podcast hosted by ancient Egyptians talking about the Bronze Age collapse, pyramids, Pharaoh, Moses, etc. It would necessarily be silly and funny, but also educational. Reading that back, it probably is a terrible idea, but it's a new one that no one has tried.
It's a really good idea but to pull it off you'll want a really good producer. It'll get tired if it's just a couple people using accents reading from a script. You'd want to have music and sound effects and fake audio quotes and so on.
I think it's a neat idea 👌
at what point is a podcast just a radio play? that sounds like a radio play tbh
Podcasts are basically all radio shows
I dont know any white dudes irl
🙏
Lucky
anti-Italian racism smh
my friend suggested we start a podcast together and I just kinda said "I don't really have much worth saying that I didn't already get from listening to another podcast" and we left it at that
my brothers not white but he has a podcast with his friends and one of them is white.
I know one woman who has, but no dudes
At least 12, but that's because I'm in a group chat with a bunch of leftist podcasters. IRL only one other white guy.
I spent a day editing a podcast episode for a friend once and it never got published, it was pretty good too. they got so bogged down trying to make the first episode perfect, lots of talk and no action
I dont really have contact with many bro-ey types anymore though so that's my only example
zero
well, maybe one?
they made one episode, but it didn't go anywhere
Two
3, most boring guys I ever met in high school made a podcast together and the first thing they talk about is how annoying it is to mask at the gym
lmao get em :xi-gun:
One
Oh shit I also know two
Too many. They usually don't last very long.
Just one, I'm surprised there's only just the one tbh.
3, two made sports podcasts. Both very racist
