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.

Before I read the body of the post, I was going to recommend "gl;hf" (the only podcast I've really listened to in quite a while), but they don't stay on topic. There is no topic, really. It's just rambling about whatever comes to them as it comes up.

At the beginning of every episode, they start with "welcome to gl;hf, the world's first podcast in gaming." And the running joke is that they rarely talk about gaming at all.

Largely they talk about being prolific career YouTube content creators, but they may delve into random stuff like the U.S. National Cheese Reserve or the ethics of eating lab-grown human meat or Uncle Wiggily board games.

On the plus side, they're always interested in what they're talking about.
