i made a(n embarrassing) thing

[lirazel]

So because I can listen to podcasts while I'm working, I listen to...a lot of podcasts. And a lot of them have connections with each other via hosts guesting on other people's podcasts. I have at times mentioned the Sarah Marshall-Michael Hobbes podcast universe...and I decided to map it out.

Honestly, this web could be much bigger--I've limited it to things I have listened to a least a few episodes of. I only listen to 5-4 (about the US Supreme Court) now and then because it's depressing but it's SUCH a good resource when a big ruling gets handed down. I only listen to Sentimental Garbage, Ordinary Unhappiness, and 16th Minute now and then, but I've listened to all of them enough to be fond of the hosts.

As for the rest of the podcasts mentioned here...I listen to them regularly. Most of them I listen to every single episode.

This doesn't encompass all the shows I listen to, just the ones that can be connected in this way. But the connections made me happy, so I thought I would share.

Podcasts I listen to regularly that couldn't be worked in: Dear John and Hank, Straight White American Jesus, On the Nose (the Jewish Currents podcast), Rock That Doesn't Roll, the Ezra Klein Show, You Must Remember This, and This American Ex-Wife.

Love it!

So what's the code with the colours? (They're very pretty regardless)

I can see the dark lines are where they're a main presenter on a show, so are the thinner lines where they just guest occasionally?

[lirazel]

No real code except for the purple nexus and the green are people who connect to others. But there's no difference between the pink and the orangey-yellow.

so are the thinner lines where they just guest occasionally?

Exactly!

And funnily enough, it already needs to be updated, because not one but TWO more connections emerged since I made this!

This is so satisfying!!! Also a good way for me to find some more podcasts, because I only listen to a handful of these.

It made me happy to make, so I'm glad you enjoyed it! I recommend all of these! If you listen to anything new to you and enjoy it, please let me know! <3

I'm so out of the loop with podcasts, heh. I've heard of a good chunk of these, but it's impossible for me to listen and work at the same time.

Surgery recovery time will be a great time to do so, though! I really enjoy You Must Remember This. I listened to a good bunch of the first season (I always do chronologically, just my quirk) while traveling, but I haven't found time to get back to it and want to.

You Must Remember This is so good! Really a top tier podcast in every way.

I don't listen to podcasts, but if I listened to podcasts I would make something like this.

Haha! <3<3<3 I feel similarly about your video game posts: I don't play video games, but if I did, I would probably be writing similar posts!
