Podcast recommendation master log!!! :3
I’ve listened to well over 100 hours of podcasts from a lot of different genres so I’m gonna give you some recommendations. These will all be audio dramas so no ttrpgs or conversation podcasts. I’ll include a short description, the amount of episodes they have as I’m writing this (not including bonus content), if it’s finished, and probably my own little thoughts about it cus I have too many thoughts.

That’s all I’m doing for this one I say as if this isn’t an insane amount. I have plenty more podcast recommendations if needed. Also turns out tumblr has a tag limit and it also just gets extremely glitchy on mobile when you add a lot of tags which isn’t surprising considering this is tumblr
What a great list. I’ll have to check them out once I’m done the White Vault. I can’t recommend enough my favorite audio drama Magnus Archives!! Phenomenal.
