[β] merc@sh.itjust.works 12 points 4 months ago (1 child) My most listened to podcast genres are: Fans of a sports team celebrate or commiserate Cheerful people look at the world through the lens of economics A professional voice actor reads me cool short stories A science reporter lets scientists gush about their cool discoveries Science myths are investigated and sometimes debunked, in an entertaining way (with citations) A storyteller tells true stories about mistakes and what we can learn from them BBC Foreign Correspondents talk about the stories behind the stories The current world is examined from a perspective of how the media delivers the message permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Catma@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (2 children) Is the Wheaton's podcast just a continuation of Levar Burton's podcast? https://levarburton.com/podcasts/ permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 1 point 4 months ago Yeah I vaguely recall Wil talking about it on some other pod, and he talked to Levar who was getting ready to wrap up hosting and gave Wil his blessing permalink fedilink source parent [β] merc@sh.itjust.works 1 point 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) Basically, yeah.
