Something not high energy, and interesting but not too interesting lol
Examples I’ve been enjoying include 99% Invisible, Ologies, and Common Descent

Along the same lines, but not a podcast, McFadden narrates a docuseries on all things Trek, “The Center seat”, on Amazon currently.
I love Startalk Radio for this. It’s very interesting, funny and they make breaks every couple of minutes with a jingle that triggers me to wake up slightly with enough focus to take my headphones off and then fall asleep
Episode 1, every episode is the first episode of a podcast. It’s like 90% improv. Might be my favorite podcast.
I like Hey Riddle Riddle if improv comedy is something you like. Both for falling asleep and listening while awake.
My kids like Bedtime Explorers and no lie it puts me to sleep.
Smashing Security or Darknet Diaries. I always put them on before bed and fall asleep. I have to relisten from the latest bit I remember to make sure I get all the information.

I recognize the irony of this, but sometimes I like to fall asleep to the No Sleep podcast.
I subbed just last week, haven’t listened to many episodes, but it’s been good.
Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell.
Look up the Art Bell Tape Vault and the Art Bell Archives on Spotify.
Last Podcast on the Left. They talk about serial killers, but the subject matter doesn’t bother me. It’s a topic that I’m ok with not catching all the details after I fall asleep.
Damn, I tried to get into it years ago. It must be good because they still going at it, but couldn’t stand the multiple mfs talking at once about random bs.
Yeah, I sometimes listen during the day and want to scream at the clowns to shut up and let the narrative move ahead. Luckily, I tend to go to sleep with a strong buzz or straight up drunk and then it doesn’t bother me.
Maybe I should give it another shot after hitting a joint lol
Same, I’ve tried this one a few times, and I’m just annoyed every time.
Clarkesworld Magazine and anything from Skyboat Media.
Kate Baker narrates the former, Stephen Rudniki a lot of the latter’s content and both deliver sonorous, resonant readings that are easy to nod off with.
The Weekly Planet
I like Roman Mars’ voice so 99% invisible is my go to. But I’m still searching for a way to automate listening to British shipping traffic in a podcast like fashion.
