Two questions:

  1. How do you find new podcasts to listen to, and;
  2. What are 1 or 2 podcasts that you would recommend to others?

    There are a ton of classic audio drama from the 40s-60s, if your tastes allow. My faves are:

    • Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar - “The insurance investigator with the action-packed expense account”

    • Gunsmoke - “U.S. Marshall Matt Dillon. The first man they look for and the last they want to meet. It’s a chancy job. Keeps a man watchful… and a little lonely.”

    • The Shadow - “Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men! The Shadow knows!”

    • I was a Communist for the FBI - “The true story of Matt Cevetik who, for nine fantastic years, lived as a Communist for the F.B.I.!”

    And if you would prefer something similar but more modern, The Thrilling Adventure Hour is a long-running stage show in L.A. in the style of classic radio drama. The main segments are:

    • Sparks Nevada, Marshall on Mars! - “Along with his faithful Martian deputy Croach the Tracker, he rights the outlaw wrongs on Mars.”

    • Beyond Belief - “Meet Frank and Sadie Doyle, toast of the upper crust, headliners on the society pages, and oh yes… They See Ghosts!”
