Recommendations for parody podcasts?

June 11, 2018 11:09 AM

I'm looking for more podcasts like A Very Fatal Murder (or in the vein the Netflix parody documentary, American Vandal). The more straight-faced and extended (i.e., not just a single episode), the better!

Done Disappeared is in its second (brief) season and is a pretty beat-perfect parody of the true crime podcast genre.

The Beef and Dairy Network podcast, "The number one podcast for those involved or just interested in the production of beef animals and dairy herds." Utterly straight-faced, in no way an obvious comedy goldmine, and yet it totally slays me.

This Sounds Serious is an obvious rec.

I genuinely do not know whether Your Favorite Sandwich is supposed to be a parody, but I choose to believe that it is.

The Complete Woman and The Complete Man are parodies of early 1960's self-help records and are so, so great.

Fans of the Beef and Dairy Network (linked by tchemgrrl above) might want to try the "Ray Moss - No Stone Unturned" episodes of BBC's Kench podcast, also by Benjamin Partridge (scroll down, the Ray Moss episodes are the earliest batch).

Topics is the most straightfaced and most ridiculous. From guys from The State.
