We Were Told by the VLDL crew. If you aren’t familiar, they are YouTube creators out of NZ who started by make skits lovingly mocking video games and now have expanded into stuff like doing TTRPG and own their own studio with the biggest green screen in NZ, but they actually seem like really sweet, down to earth guys. I haven’t listened to their podcast since some of their early episodes, but it’s basically them just chatting with each other or a guest about random topics and it sounds like listening in on a conversation between some good friends. They don’t take themselves seriously and their first podcasts they liked to joke that they’re “3 white men doing a podcast, something that has never happened before”. Topics I listened to included mental health, the fact that two of them were an extra in Avatar and one actually has a blip of recognizable screen time and what it was like, their careers, having kids (one has a kid, one doesn’t want kids, and one is on the fence, and they even stopped to get the opinion of their woman producer when they started talking about how pregnancy affects women’s careers because they acknowledged it was sort of weird not to let a woman talk). I really need to add their podcast to my gym podcast playlist, I’ve just been catching up on podcasts related to my job.

Speaking of which, super niche, but if you have any interest in learning anything about EMS, I highly recommend the EMS 20/20 podcast. It’s two paramedics who are good friends who either review cases sent to them or who give each other DnD type medical scenarios and roll D20s to determine outcomes and there’s tons of educational stuff but it’s also really funny and light hearted and makes me laugh a lot.
