the thing about podcasts for me is that i actually have a really hard time listening to them and have tried to get into at least 20 if not double that over the past few years but have never been able to get through more than a few episodes and that’s usually after forcing myself. this is true for all except one podcast. because i have only ever been able to listen to and enjoy that single podcast, i listen to it on repeat and have been since 2020. i have been informed recently that this is not something that happens with other people

#informed my boss abt this and he was kinda disturbed #‘you just catch up and then start it over again? and then finish it and start it over again?’ yes #old gods of appalachia podcast of all time. genuinely.#if you go into the tag you might find my posts from years ago #one of my posts that i posted about episode 25 still gets likes occasionally #this podcast has gotten me through some really tough times when horrible things have happened in my life and it was a massive component of #my starting to heal a little after my dad passed #and now i listen to it on repeat at my job while i do lab work #old gods of appalachia #ogoa #it was also what helped me become more accepting of my southern accent. bc i moved to the south young and i tend to be a bit of an accent #chameleon so i picked it up easy and then it became how i speak. but i used to suppress it constantly (and still sometimes find myself doing #it) but hearing people who sounded similar just. helped. and i could relate a lot to details in the podcast and suddenly my accent wasn’t #just the thing they use on tv to indicate someone isn’t intelligent or is a bigot #i could write essays on this podcast and how it helped me tbh #and now it doesn’t have to help me through anything necessarily and i just get to listen to it for fun. i love it
