Like a lot of people, my first introduction to podcasts was listening to professional shows from outfits like NPR and BBC on my phone. These are top-notch productions. Eventually, Gimlet forged their own similarly polished shows. I have grown to like those shows on the other end of the spectrum. People in their closets and living rooms, creating shows for fun. Postapodcalypse is the latter.
I love Postapodcalypse. It is so simple. A guy with a microphone in decimated LA. The production values are not high. That makes it so much better, in my opinion, because it real feels like something cobbled together by a loner just trying to get by after the apocalypse.
I especially like the writing of this show. It isn't dialogue because there are almost no other characters. But the protagonist has a knack for explaining complex modern concepts in simple, straightforward way.
