Podcasts sure, but I’m mostly thinking of good tv shows and webseries here, movie franchises and documentaries too. I want to set it going in VLC and turn the screen off, which is basically how I watch YouTube slop.

There are vast amounts of radio dramas that you can grab off the net. I spent some time downloading shows. Stuff decades old is old-timey and it absolutely was not for me. An example of something I really hated is Dimension X. It was one of the first sci-fi radio dramas.
For the past few decades the radio became increasing unimportant and the format morphed into audio dramas. The Brits love the stuff. Just considering the UK alone - there must be
1,000s of hoursan ungodly amount of sci-fi, horror, mystery, etc. Doctor Who-related stuff is a genre unto itself. I spent yet more time downing shows. Sadly for me audio dramas (UK or not) are not my taste either.The only thing I listened to episode after episode was an oddball, ultra-low budget zombie series called We’re Alive. I think after all the effort I made I wanted to find at least one thing I listened to from start to finish. It wasn’t that good. I could have stopped after season one - but damn the torpedoes - I listened to the entire thing.
Apparently this link has all the episodes.

I’ve listened to We’re Alive a couple years back. I thought it was pretty ok. It’s better than most audio stuff of its ilk.
It was interesting to listen to a longish audio full cast thing. I don’t like all the spinoff crap that came from it, though.
In a similar vein, I’m pretty sure Phil Hendrie’s archive is available online and he was on the air forever, he must have recorded thousands of shows.
