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.

Apologies for pushing stuff I'm involved with but The Devil's Library fulfils that criteria - it's a book related podcast with myself and fellow atheistic Satanists talking about books (nothing to do with Satanism, just ordinary fiction). No ads, no sponsors. It is very lightly edited just to improve audio quality and eliminate the odd moment when we talk over each other but other than that, what you hear is what we've said.

It is mostly also available on PeerTube but the last couple are missing as the instance we're on has been struggling a bit, we're trying to get it sorted in the new year.
