Esoteric awesome podcasts

The last few podcasts I’d like to mention are strange. Not bad strange. Good strange. Awesome strange, in either subject matter or presentation.

Welcome to Night Vale is, well, a little difficult to describe. It’s a drama in the format of a small-town radio program. Night Vale isn’t just any small town, though, but one with black helicopters that fill the skies, dog parks you are instructed not to think about, and cheerful community updates. It’s Cecil, the narrator, that really sells the show, giving a sense of continuity to the twice a month episodes. It really is an amazing experiment in narrative structure, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Caustic Soda is a weekly science podcast that tackles gruesome situations and topics through a humorous lens. Toren Atkinson, Kevin Leeson, and Joe Fulgham break down and analyse their topics on multiple levels, and the program often goes places that you wouldn’t expect it to.

Hardcore History offers Dan Carlin’s off-beat and often lateral take on conventional history. The show can be a little edgy, but it can be an interesting listen.

This wraps up this miniseries. If there are any other podcasts you listen to that you think that we should take a look at, post them in the comments.
