my five close personal friends:

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.
