Is there any unedited conversation podcast you actually recommend? (lemmy.world)

I spend a lot of time listening to podcasts or listening just to audio of YouTube videos.

Most of what I listen to is fully scripted and edited, often with just one person talking. A small amount of what I listen to have two people with unscripted conversations that are edited to keep the episode on topic.

I've tried listening to fully unedited live conversation podcasts with anywhere from 2 to 4 people talking, and every one of them has driven me absolutely crazy. I usually pick episodes based on the topic in the title, to always find that either nobody in the podcasts knows/cares about the topic, or only one person knows about it. It results in conversations turning into mindnumbing rambling about nothing or one person explaining a topic to another person who is uninterested or just stupid.

If there is a podcast with multiple hosts that actually share an interest in a topic and keep it reasonably on topic I would really like to try it out.

Why?

Why are you looking for this specific format if all other examples have been unpleasant for you?

The only thing I can think of is that you are promoting something using an alt account. I'm sure there are more reasons why someone might, but I'm just drawing a blank. Like, if you had an interest in something and were looking for a podcast on that topic then I would get it. I really don't get the motivation here though

They don't dislike the genre overall. They just came across many podcasts they didn't enjoy and are asking for recommendations based on their specified criteria.

That's believable, but it's just not what I see in the words even after a quick reread. To me it reads like they skipped that bit. A few examples probably would have gone a long way to changing that and helping with suggestions
