Easy podcast(s) while recovering from brain surgery
May 10, 2023 1:31 PM Subscribe
I’m currently recovering from brain surgery. Screens are a no-go for more than a few minutes at a time. I need podcasts or other audio type things to listen to while I’m not napping…
This is not going to be my most eloquent ask me ever, thats for sure. I’m 5 days post surgery, home, with a brutal headache trying to be weaned off good painkillers, and would love audio to distract me. Nothing that requires thinking, paying even remotely careful attention to anything please. Needs to be easily procured on my phone in Canada (i use overcast). Short episodes are good because I’m probably going to fall asleep half way through. No politics or religion or anything controversial. I listen to a lot of podcasts normally so im well versed in the usual suspects and therefore slightly off the beaten path is nice, but not necessary. I like learning things, sciency type stuff, but not really into history. Or space for some reason. Not really sure how well ill follow much of anything with a plot.
Thx all!

I was a big fan of Futility Closet podcast before they stopped making new episodes, but there are 365 to work through! Produced by a husband and wife team.
“forgotten stories from the pages of history” is their tagline.
Also lateral thinking puzzles on most of the episodes at the end and occasionally several collected into a standalone episode thats a different format from their normal show.
Episodes are standalone with the occasional update or reference to a previous episode. So working backwards you might get some puzzle spoilers, or out of context update, but i didnt find it much of an issue, i eventually switched to catching up starting at episode 1 though. You might browse for interesting topics to sample before committing.

Apologies if this is too "usual-suspects"...you will definitely not learn anything at all from it but Stop Podcasting Yourself is my favorite thing to fall asleep halfway through. (Who am I kidding, lots of times I fall asleep before they even finish their intro segment.)

When I was ill with Covid, I listened a lot to Ramblings, a BBC podcast with Clare Balding. She goes on a different walk somewhere in the UK each week with a different group of people and chats along the way, while describing bits of scenery. I'd put it on autoplay and fall asleep with her walking by a river in Somerset with a vicar and wake up to her tackling a Scottish Munro with a group of knitters. Very gentle and easy to dip in and out of. That's a link to the BBC page, I'm not sure how it's available overseas but hopefully you can find it. There are hundreds of eps.
My gateway drug to that was Bill Bryson's Walk in the Woods audiobook, which was similar - you fall asleep while they're walking along the Applachian Trail, wake up and they're still walking along the Appalacian Trail. Since then I've also tried Bryson's The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid and invariably fell asleep to it - it wasn't so gripping that I minded missing anything.
The Rabbit Hole Detectives is similar to No Such Things as a Fish (which is great and I'd second that suggestion!) but even gentler. Only has one short series of episodes, though.
At some point in your recovery when you're able to pay a little more attention, you might enjoy the Brain on Nature podcast, about how a woman with a brain injury found being in nature helped her rest and recuperate more than anything else.
Films to be Buried With, with Brett Goldstein, is him with a different guest each week chatting about their favourite films, it's laid back and quite funny and easy to miss chunks. I don't watch many films and have still enjoyed what I've listened to, just as background entertaining chat.

The Hidden Almanac is short (per episode) and off-the-beaten path. It's weird fiction, and gradually develops a plot, but delivers it in very small chunks so it's low investment.
Good luck, I hope your recovery goes smoothly and you're feeling better as soon as possible.

You might like one or more of these:
City on the Edge: Stories from Albuquerque, New Mexico. It's three friends who have done historical research about the city. I find them nice to listen to. It's interesting enough to be distracting, but not so interesting that I feel the need to rewind if I zone out and miss something. I like their dynamic as well -- it's calm without being boring.
Curious City, Curious Minnesota, Curious Nashville, Bay Curious: Four different podcasts that all look at local history. Episodes are short and interesting, but it's not high stakes. I don't live in these places and never have, so while I find it engaging, I don't care that much if I fall asleep in the middle of an episode about why a particular city has more gray squirrels than red squirrels.
Normal Gossip: Listeners submit stories about their friends and family, then the host changes identifying details and tells the story to a guest and they discuss. This is not celebrity gossip, these are stories about that time someone accidentally sent something mean to the group text, or that time everyone missed their flight because one person in the group wanted to buy a sweater in an airport store. These are funny and light stories.
Sidedoor: Small-stakes stories about things related to the Smithsonian. Sometimes it's stuff in their archives, sometimes it's something space related, sometimes it's something on display. This is another one that I don't rewind if my attention drifts.
Your Brain on Facts: A gently entertaining podcast about facts that the host arranges by theme. The host, Moxie LaBouche, has a wonderful voice. This is on hiatus, but there's a large back catalog.

John Moe’s Sleeping With Celebrities might be just the ticket. It’s designed to be diverting yet low-stakes and (as the title suggests) soporific.

I also came to rec No Such Thing As A Fish as well.
Dan Schrieber from NSTAAF, Rhys Darby (lately of Our Flag Means Death, also Flight of the Conchords etc etc), and their friend Buttons have a podcast called The Cryptid Factor, which is kinda about Mysteries of Science - UFOs, bigfoots, space, time travel - but mostly they're just riffing and I often zone out and then one or more of them starts laughing to the point of weeping and I just go back a few minutes and relisten.
There's many years of archives of Answer Me This, where Helen Zaltzman and Ollie Mann answer write/call-in questions like "Why does my cat talk to the TV?" or settle a disagreement like "my friend says it's rude to bring treats to work but I love baking for the office, who's right?" Also very funny, often quite informative, and the topics are short by nature.

My whole company has the Calm app, and a whole bunch of my coworkers rave about the sleep stories. I've tried a couple and they are Not For Me, but they might work for you for this specific niche. They're intentionally crafted to be just interesting enough, gentle, and for folks to tune out mid way through. They do a 1 week free trial, but I bet there are a lot of very similar dupes out there on the free internet, too.

This Crock Pot episode of the Nice Try podcast was fascinating, and I listened to a bunch of their other episodes too. They're a few years old, but each episode stands alone just fine. Each is a mini history of a household appliance. Not heavy and so much more interesting than you'd expect.

The memory palace has bits and pieces of history, but all of the episodes are short (I don't think there are any that are longer than 15 minutes) and Nate DiMeo has one of the most soothing voices I've ever heard. And he speaks fairly slowly.

My friend who had major brain surgery suggested listening/watching the most calm television channel; the one where everyone spoke in a happy voice, and there was no drama.
That's correct; the shopping channel.
Apparently, especially at first, all you want is good friendly noise. He was barely able to talk at all during the first couple of months of recovery, so the shopping channel was a good choice.
Just don't allow access to a telephone while watching. :-)

Does your podcast app have a sleep timer? If I think I’m going to fall asleep during an episode, I set it to stop playing after 10 minutes. That way, if I fall asleep, it’s easy to find my way back - and if I don’t, I just press play to extend the timer again. (I use Castro, but I imagine this feature is available in various podcast apps).
As for recommendations, I like ones that dig up interesting facts. Ologies is great and has shorter episodes called Smologies. GastroPod mixes science and history of food. BBC’s More or Less explains stats behind current headline and is short and sweet.

I used the sleep stories on Headspace (subscription) for several years and found them very helpful. I don't use them any more but can attest that they are calming and meaningless and don't have a plot or any kind of arc, just things like "welcome to night town, it's a very sleepy town..." and one I really liked called Midnight Launderette which had slow, pleasant descriptions of the people who are washing their clothes with a quiet background sound of the dryers running. The program has a stable of speakers so if there is anyone you like, you can select for that person.
Also, MyNoise.net is not a podcast but it's the best white noise creator (and not just white noise -- there's pink and grey noise and there are sounds for particular needs) you will ever find. Free to use and there are no ads. I use it for sleep now, and it's kind of amazing. I believe that there is an infinite number of possibilities here. You can overlap sounds or take a white noise that's already extant and make some of the pieces of it (say, the rain or the thunder or the sound of cars driving through water...) more prominent. I knew about it but didn't realize the value of it until I shared an office with a man who chewed with his mouth open and could not be changed and me here with misophonia. Then I found the Saharan Caravan. There are horse and dromedary walking noises, some ambient noises, sounds associated with mineral and lunar landscapes and -- this was key for me - "Camel talk". I think that the camel talk was the piece that actually masked his chewing noises.
Here is what the podcast says about itself:
Discover a world of immersive and customizable soundscapes that can enhance focus, relaxation, and sleep. Choose from noise generators, nature sounds and ambient music to create your perfect audio environment. Explore our vast library of interactive sound generators and find your audio haven!

The Empty Bowl is brilliant for this kind of thing - you probably have heard of it, it’s Justin McElroy’s cereal podcast. He is much less um… McElroy-esque in it and much more mellow, and his cohost is unironically obsessed with cereal and has a fantastically dry sense of humor.
Underunderstood is like, let’s do hard hitting investigative journalism about pointless ephemera. Great for variety and breadth of topics, and they have some fascinating conversations with interesting people but none of it is high stakes.
The Bald and the Beautiful is a free wheeling conversation between two successful drag queens, Trixie and Katya. Katya is so rambly and off the wall that it’s probably better if you aren’t at full cognitive capacity, honestly. Kind of like sitting in on a gab session with two old best friends and you’re just happy to be there.

Comedian Brian Posehn has a podcast where he and other comics play dungeons and dragons. There is slightly an ongoing plot but it's mostly jokes, skip to season 2 or 3 because their audio equipment weren't great at the start

Seconding More or Less, fun and informative, and episodes are either10 minutes or 30 minutes broken up into 2-4 topics. If you want a horror anthology podcast, the Wrong Station is creepy and Canadian, with most episodes around 30 minutes. Then there’s Monstrous Agonies, a queer advice column for “the creature community” which packs two replies and a made-up ad into 20 minutes. What’s a werewolf to do when his boyfriend still chews shoes?

If you want fiction or to escape into a different world for a bit, I would recommend Welcome to Night Vale. Episodes are about 30 minutes, and the premise is a radio show broadcasting in a tiny desert town where very weird things happen. Each episodes have short little discrete "segments," and there is a plot line throughout the seasons but not so complex or detailed that if you fall asleep and miss some, you'll be lost. I happen to find the hosts voice very soothing and fall asleep to it when I'm really struggling to sleep. Try the first couple of episodes and you'll know pretty quickly if you like it or not!
(Also fair warning, each episode has a different song play about halfway through it, but if you don't want that in case you drift off to sleep, you can search "Welcome to Night Vale no weather" on YouTube and listen to those versions.)
Take care and sending healing brain thoughts!!

Not sure this is far enough from the beaten track for a podcast aficionado, and they might be a little long, but here goes...
This is sort of history but it's the most gentle, funny approach to the subject I have heard: Natalie Haynes Stands Up for the Classics. A "recovering comedian" talks about one classical figure a week, with expert testimony and jokes. Link may be BBC but I got all of these on Overcast. These are 24-30 mins
The much-missed Rule of Three is about comedy books, films, TV, whatever and why it's funny from a writer's perspective. It's hosted by Joel Morris and Jason Hazeley, and has some great guests.
Rule of Three's successor is Comfort Blanket, which is from just Joel Morris, and is about things that people find comforting to watch/read/listen to. I'd start with the episode on Terminator and go on from there. Both of these are longer than 30 mins but you can dip in and out
I am the most indoors person in the world, but the Science of Survival strand from Outside magazine podcast, and Out Alive from Backpacker are among the best things I have ever put into my earholes. I can take or leave the rest of it, but give me a podcast about some poor hiker clinging on to a ledge by an eyelash or what eating the wrong mushrooms does to your insides and I am extremely here for it.
Finally, I think this Youtube page will disappear eventually– and obviously I'd recommend you buy the things you like when you can – but until you can, it's full of the loveliest, funniest stuff, almost all 30m or less.

What the duck is a great science podcast put out by ABC in Australia. The shows are around 25mins and focus on a different element of the natural world e.g shells, eels or the clitoris in the animal kingdom. The presenter chats to relevant scientists about the weeks theme. Some nice light hearted banter with some interesting learning thrown in. Seriously the science of shell shapes is pretty interesting.

Do you like interviews? I find those easy to listen to and fine if I tune in and out. I would recommend
- Fresh Air - the OG arts & culture interview show, although it has more political/historical/social stuff now, and I just skip those personally
- Bullseye with (MeFi's Own) Jesse Thorn - arts & culture interviews, even if I have no idea who the guest is, it's always fascinating, Jesse is such a great interviewer
- Started from the Bottom - interviews successful people with unlikely stories, almost all of them are black/brown, this is a new show and I think the interviewer is phenomenal
- Broken Record - several hosts including Malcolm Gladwell and famed producer Rick Rubin interview famous musicians
- WTF with Marc Maron - long form conversations with mostly musicians and hollywood types
- Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend - super fun and funny interviews
Other random easy/fun shows
- Judge John Hodgman - featuring MeFi's Own Jesse Thorn as "Bailff", Hodgman adjudicates disputes between family members, friends, spouses, etc., often funny, sometimes heartfelt
- Dear Hank and John - two brothers answer listener questions and give you updates on Mars and UK football, it's silly but fun to listen to
Wishing you a speedy recovery!
