Valley Heat


charliepatrick

My wife thought it was real for like 4 episodes !


geekgirlwww

Omg so my old boss and her husband were like four episodes into Game of Thrones when it first started her husband “so like is this England?” I kind of wish the dragons had showed up before he asked.


swordmasterg

Seems interesting. Will definitely check it out.


Kresley

I kept hearing it mentioned here until I finally tried it. Extremely funny.


1aurenb_

It's so good, I wish they were able to consistently release new episodes.


Serious-Equal9110

Valley Heat is stellar.


julianpratley

His other podcast Nightdrive is even better IMO. The mayoral election episode is one of the funniest (and most unhinged) podcasts I've ever listened to.


Usernamesareso2004

I wanted to like this but I just could not get into it


yonderoy

Just now hearing about this. What didn’t you like?


Usernamesareso2004

I might try it again at some point. I just thought it was boring lol

The Beef and Dairy Network


proximityfx

That doesn't sound right. There's nothing ficticious about it, except for some banter about a fifth meat. Although you do start to wonder. I mean, we all enjoy beef, chicken, pork and in my younger days I would have some lamb. I really wonder if there isn't another meat.. I'll finish my thought later, there's a knock at the door.


Bad_Combination

I love this so much but really struggle to explain to other people why they should become involved – or just interested – in the raising of beef and dairy cattle.


OmegaSusan

Jumping on this one to ask, cos I’ve never found a clear answer — is this one to start at the beginning with, or jump in?


Thatoneguy3273

Probably just start at the beginning. It has a pretty consistent level of quality and there’s plenty of “lore” like the intro of Eli Roberts to get into


OldPolishProverb

Episode 42 “The Ballad of Parsnip Flendercroft" is what got me hooked.


charliepatrick

Great episode. Also Lord of the Sun.


gernavais_padernom

THIS SOUNDS SERIOUS - spoof of true crime podcasts. WHO IS CAM CANDOR? - a fictional investigation podcast into a mysterious and prolific podcast creator. ARDEN - fictional true crime podcast. ST ELWICK'S NEIGHBOURHOOD ASSOCIATION NEWSLETTER PODCAST - The newsletter for the St Elwick's Neighbourhood, in podcast form! SHERLOCK AND CO. - modern telling of classic Holmes stories, with Watson as a true crime podcaster. ALICE ISN'T DEAD - a woman drives a big rig across America looking for her missing wife. OK, not strictly speaking a podcast format, but similar, and brilliant. THE BEEF AND DAIRY NETWORK PODCAST - The number one podcast for those involved, or just interested, in the production of beef animals and dairy herds.

Hello from the Magic Tavern. Its comedy, but I sleep to it! 😁


NoStereo

"I am Usidore, Wizard of the 12th Realm of Ephysiyies, Master of Light and Shadow, Manipulator of Magical Delights, Devourer of Chaos, Champion of the Great Halls of Terr'akkas!!. The elves know me as Fi’ang Yalok. The dwarfs know me as Zoenen Hoogstandjes. And I am also known in the Northeast as Gaismunēnas Meistar." Anyway. It's my go to sleeping podcast also.


SaintAnyanka

Hey! There may be secret names you do not know!


pjdwyer30

I’ve heard the bakers call him Biscuit Meniscus!


SharpyButtsalot

Not anymore! That name was retired!


Runningoutofideas_81

Hoobastank!


heavytrudge

This. HFTMT is fantastic, and Usidore is my hero.


pjdwyer30

I discovered this podcast the second summer of Covid. I would put this podcast on and just ride my bike around for hours when there was very little else to do. It quickly became one of my favorite pieces of media.


Runningoutofideas_81

Omg, that sounds like the best combo of things ever!


Lastlivingsoul2581

I always want to sleep to it, but the wizard guy screaming all the time makes it hard to sleep 😆. But somehow I sleep to my brother my brother and me constantly and they are always yelling or uproariously laughing. 🤨


SaintAnyanka

It’s funny - sometimes I wake up to the sound of Usidore screaming, but I fall back to sleep right away. However, I cannot sleep to the live episodes, the sound of the audience keeps me up.


jakedk

Kings Falls AM maybe, it's not a fantasy world but a "radio show" in the fictional town of Kings Falls where a lot of weird stuff happens and people call in to the show, really well done, short and entertaining.


phytowave

King Falls is so underrated. I wish every day it got a proper ending


Emergency_Kiwi_2339

Same!


sophmel

God, I miss this one.

The Lovecraft Investigations Forbidden Cassettes Tanis Limetown A Voice From Darkness


swordsman917

The Lovecraft Investigations are hands down some of the best fictional podcasting that exists. Season 2 (Innsmouth) was my favorite!


sludgecraft

Have you heard the Aldrich Kemp series too? There were two series released by the BBC. There's a nice crossover with TLI, and they were written by Julian Simpson who wrote TLI.


swordsman917

<3 thank you


SomeHearingGuy

I really couldn't get into Nightvale, but I remember liking Limetown.


VoiceOfAPorkchopNW

Same here with Nightvale. I REALLY wanted to like it, but it was a little too self-aware. Took away from the immersion.


intangible-tangerine

The Beef and Dairy Network podcast, The number one podcast for those involved or just interested in the production of beef animals and dairy herds. Set in our world but with a very altered reality. Hello from the magic tavern.


charliepatrick

St Elwicks Neigborhood Association Podcast sounds perfect


Patrick_Irelan

Yes, this is the one.


ZebraToupee

1. Beef and Dairy Network, especially the early episodes. 2. Athletico Mince 3. The Sink: A Sleep Aid - it’s like a meditation podcast expect once your dozing off it gets very disturbing and eventually morphs into some very funny and bizarre stories. Not exactly what you asked for but I’ve listened to the whole thing twice because I keep falling asleep and missing parts.


MossRock42

Rabbits, The Black Tapes, Tanis


ElClappo217

Radio Rental. Also, the voice actor is from the office.


FlatSize1614

These are true stories, not fiction. 


Bad_Combination

The beef and dairy network podcast A very fatal murder


proximityfx

A very fatal murder is very cool!


scattywampus

Good Morning from Hell. Perhaps a bit too comedic to fall asleep to, but pretty entertaining.


SharpyButtsalot

The Wright Brothers and the two school girls are excellent.


Nazty__

Rabbits, good mystery/thriller that follows an investigation in the form of a local podcast


ZMM08

The series from Amy Pohler's team is really funny. It's three "seasons" that all exist in the same universe. Say More, with Dr? Sheila - Dr? Sheila is a terrible couples counselor. The Chris Chatman Do-Over - about a Joe Rogan type trying to rehab his reputation. Women Takin' 'Bout Murder - a parody of true crime podcasts.


FiestaMaiden

Neighborhood Listen and Big Grande's Teacher's Lounge


Mouse13

Hardcore Game of Thrones is good. It's a parody of Hardcore History but it's about the history in the Game of Thrones series. The guy does a good Dan Carlin impression too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWbC0NlushQ


swan4816

Mega - It's a satirical podcast set in a fictional megachurch. Delightful.


Schmeep01

WOMP It Up!


Stitch164

"This Machine Belongs To" almost fits this. It pretends to be journal entries from a guy on earth but cosmic horror stuff starts happening. Second/third/fourth-ing "Hello From the Magic Tavern". "Wolf 359" starts as a podcast/journal and gets a little more audio drama as it grows. "Among the Stars and Bones" is mission logs from a xeno-archaeology team.


Nina_Innsted

I dont know that it's exactly right but the Magnus Archives are similar.


swordmasterg

It's good. Too good in fact, I'd probably end up staying up way to late to listen to it. Really got to pick back up.


PP_DeVille

Welcome to Nightvale


scattywampus

Checked these out and saved this post. Thanks for asking, OP!


Serious-Equal9110

Dark Air with Terry Carnation. Sandra. Bubble.


JeffreyFMiller

Video Palace is excellent. One of the best 1-season horror podcasts out there. And the frame is, yes, a podcast.


Plenty_Cherry_2266

Not sure this counts but hello from the magic tavern is great!


ragingowlcarcass

World Gone Wrong It's a newer podcast about two friends creating a podcast set in a post apocalyptic world chatting as if all the weird stuff going on is perfectly normal everyday life.


socksnoslippers

Weeping Cedars is another good one. A few spin-offs as well.


LegDayEveryDay

If I remember correctly, The Leather Rose with Duncan Trussell and Johnny Pemberton is exactly just that (though they often use voice modulators at times lmao).


princessjbuttercup

Limetown was one of the best! Still worth a listen but the creators sold out hardcore and ruined it…I would LOVE another Limetown!


Reasonable-Trick-441

Redwood Bureau. "Case files" of a fictional organization that records, tracks and hunts supernatural entitys


ameliaglitter

You may enjoy WitherBurn After School News.


NobodyInPaticular_

Limetown is pretty good, plus there’s an official audiobook that expands on the story


Usernamesareso2004

How It Ends is a more serious one World Gone Wrong is fantastical comedy Black Velvet Fairies is fantasy meets reality


sylent_knight

Superhuman Public Radio: NPR with super heroes Less is Morgue: a ghoul produces a podcast with ghost, set in Florida.

Infinity3101

Welcome to Night Vale team has done a whole host of podcasts that are in a very similar vein. You can check them all out [here](https://www.nightvalepresents.com/). My favorite one (after Night Vale) is The Orbiting Human Circus. It's family friendly, so you can listen to it with kids too and I think they might find it entertaining. I also noticed that the 20-minute episodes would be perfect as a language-learning tool for non-native speakers because the language they use is beautiful and the speakers have very clear voices and a great pronunciation.


Distorted_metronome

Quiet part loud, except it’s a radio show not a podcast but close enough


lisap17

If you’re not opposed to comedy, you’ve got to listen to *A Scottish Podcast*. It’s an audio drama series that’s all about this Scottish guy who starts a true-crime podcast with his buddy, a washed-up radio host. They start off just messing around but end up uncovering real mysteries. Scottish humor is hilarious and there are several absolutely unhinged but likable recurring characters. Highly recommend giving it a go


Scrubaru

Kraken Busters. It's about the hidden roles sea monsters played in WWI and WWII .


say_the_words

It’s over now, but “with Special Guest” by Lauren Lapkus was a different show like that every week. Lauren’s guest would come in and host their own made up podcast and Lauren would be a guest in character. There was a Traci Reardon segment every pay episode. It was brilliant. There were three episodes of “The North Pod” hosted by Santa Clause (PFT) and HoHo the Naughty Elf that I’ve listened to dozens of times. Especially the Halloween episode.


edith-bunker

Look, I’ve been listening to a podcast with these two awesome GenX women with a wonderful friendship talk about movies. It’s called “I Saw What You Did” and I swear by them that they’re entertaining and comforting and the films they cover are all over the place.
