I prefer single voice, storytelling podcasts. I listen to them as bedtime stories a lot.
- Lore (the older episodes are better, IMO)
- Myths & Legends (snarky modern retelling of old folk stories)
- Fictional (when he actually updates it... same guy as above, but these are classic literature)
- LeVar Burton Reads (all over the board. It's whatever stories LeVar liked. Leans a bit toward speculative fiction)
- Drabblecast, sometimes good if you like "weird fiction"
- Cautionary Tales (nonfiction)
- Just started getting into The Program. Clear Black Mirror influences here.
I also listen to Lore, Myths and Legends and Fictional as bedtime stories.
I would add "Nothing Much Happens" to this list. The podcaster writes these short stories and tells them in a soothing voice with the goal of helping you fall asleep.
I've seen that one in my podcast app, but my backlog is still so long. Might be good for nights that I just want to zonk right out though.
Cautionary Tales is stressful but fun. The host has a great style and podcast voice.
LeVar Burton Reads is often great. If you like LeVar and have kids in your life, they may like Sound Detectives! , wherein a detective and a 4 foot tall ear named Audie investigate missing sounds.
The thing I like most about LeVar Burton Reads is that it's basically Reading Rainbow with the occasional "fuck" thrown in there.
And yeah, Tim Harford's smooth voice is a much-needed balance to the anxiety inducing content of Cautionary Tales.
