I listen to Wait Wait, which sometimes tries to promote other NPR podcasts but never in a way that makes them interesting. For like a year they had an ad that was just an out of context clip from a Matthew McConaughey interview that made absolutely no sense to me.
Anyway, Wait Wait and Planet Money have paid ad-free podcast tiers now.
The rest do seem to be serial podcasts about true crimes or otherwise why you should feel bad about someone somewhere.
- jononomo 4y agoWait Wait is just so cringeworthy. It's like they don't even understand what humor is but nevertheless think they're funny. It's atrocious.
- astrange 4y agoYou try having to be topical and not going blue for your audience of extremely nice middle aged moms. It's funnier than SNL monologues.
- jononomo 4y agoYeah, but SNL is famous for only being funny for three weeks every four years when the presidential elections roll around. I keep forgetting that SNL even exists. I would be embarrassed to be on SNL.
- AlwaysRock 4y agoI don't love Wait Wait but its a specific style of humor. I wouldnt call it cringy. It's just probably not going to appeal to anyone under 30.
