An Unscientific Map of the Podcast Landscape
I created this graphic after realizing how many hours of my life I spend explaining how many different kinds of podcasts exist right now.
Caveats:
- This is unscientific. There are not quantitative metrics determining where podcasts exist on the spectrum. This is mostly based on my gut/experience in audio production.

- I didn't include every podcast in this graphic. I will not add new podcasts. I will not add your podcast. Sorry.

I’ve lived in places where I was the whitest kid in my class, and other places where my dry cleaner asked if I spoke English. I only speak the most basic Korean, and I haven’t been back to Korea since I was a toddler. I grew up the darkest cousin in my family, going to reunions full of blond people in Kansas.
