Is there anything that even comes close to A Life Well Wasted in the world of games podcasts?

Are there any podcasts made by people with pleasant, soothing voices? A lot of podcasts I'm interested in (Hardcore History etc) have great content but I hate how the presenters sound.

Something like making a playlist of casts, downloading them, then I can just hit "play" and they all go and I don't flip my car trying to hit fast forward. Beyondpod is very good at this.

I want a podcast that focuses on similar topics to 99% Invisible, but is longer (30m or more). Anything like that exist?

Need niche music podcasts. I like the style of All Songs Considered but I find a lot of what they play pretty bland. I don't really mind what genre the podcast is (or if it covers everything) but it'd be good if there was a focus on lesser known acts. A higher music to interview/talking ratio would be nice as well. Not particularly interested in ppls inspiration or studio process.

Any recommendations for informative podcasts where the experts are allowed to talk at length without interjections, cuts to music, voiceovers from the hosts paraphrasing what the actually interesting person is saying? I love In Our Time for example, but it's necessarily brief, and Bragg sometimes plays a bigger role than he should. Essentially...I guess I'm looking for a condensed lecture format rather than an interview style podcast. I enjoyed the Reith lecture series for example.

Ancient history podcast recs? I've been listening to: * Tides of History - sometimes very good. I really liked the interview he did with the Egypt expert a while ago. I find it a bit overproduced and contrived at times, though. The dramatic music when each episode reaches its thematic denouement is really distracting. * History of Egypt Podcast. I've started this from the very start and I've reached the episodes that he hasn't had time to re-record and it is a bit painful. His content is good, but his delivery in these early episodes isn't very engaging and the recording quality is pretty poor. I'll probably persevere with it since it's clearly a real labour of love. * In Our Time - I listen to most of these and appreciate that they get actual experts on. The episode about the Rosetta Stone is what started my latest Egypt obsession. I'm aware I criticised Tides for being overproduced and History of Egypt for being underproduced...somewhere in between would be ideal. Things I plan to listen to: * Thin End of the Wedge

Thanks for the recs. I forgot to include Fall of Civilizations in the list of things I'd tried. It's good, hope there's more soon.

It's OK. Often when I'm listening I think I'd prefer to just hear the expert lecture, but it's good to put on in the background sometimes. A lot of interesting people and disciplines on it.

Is anyone doing anything like the old Robert Ashley podcast A Life Well Wasted - interviews with interesting game related people? Like...99 percent invisible or TAL but game related?

Any recs for podcasts in the nerd talks at length about a single large subject genre? I'm already listening to History of Egypt, Tides of History, and History of English and I like how they're basically all information and there's just one host. It doesn't have to be history. I'm trying Secret History of Western Esoterism as well, but it might be too esoteric for me. Plus the interviews in the early episodes have terrible audio quality.

I can't believe I forgot about Carlin. I like him a lot. History of Rome is pretty much exactly what I want, thanks.
