I'm half-joking, but I could use a "not just two guys joking around" tag. There's so many podcasts out there where I check them out because the topic sounds interesting but most of the episode time is given to 'two guys joking around'.

Good lord you're right. Nothing worse than two guys joking around!!

Might be enough to just tag certain podcasts as "amateur"

I don't think that is such a great idea- Sometimes very professional people who are amateurs at audio production and amateurs at public speaking make awesome podcasts- The tag would need to be a lot more specific.

Agree!! Mixergy does almost zero post production but has amazing content if you're in the startup space.

My favorite podcasts: Excellent: This American Life 99% Invisible Very good: Planet Money The Memory Palace [historical narratives] The Moth On the Media Snap Judgement Good: Freakonomics Radio Lab Radio Diaries Occasionally good: The Truth [fictional radio dramas] Criminal

Dan Carlin Hardcore History. It's not in often and when it is it can be a 21-hour series. The guy is brilliant and I could listen to him tell a story about the most boring man on the plant if he decided to.

I really love Revolutions [1] so now I'm excited to try this one! History podcasts for the win.
