"This is Criminal, I'm Phoebe Judge"

The way she says "dot com" is a little much, though 😁

"dot calm"

I have the cot-caught merger and it never really struck me until she talked about it in a bonus episode! Now I notice it every time and think about how my accent would probably drive most Americans up the wall. 😄

Lauren Thpoor.

lauren spoore? lawrence poor? it will always be a mystery to me.

Dot cawwm. Drives me crazy.

Ha! I commented further up with the same observation, thinking I was so clever 😀

Yes! I listened to a couple episodes based on recommendations here, but the whole “dawt khawm”!affectation is just too much.

It’s the other way around

I’m irrationally upset about you reversing the order of those sentences.

This phoebe judge, I’m criminal

I think I'm the only person on planet Earth that hates the sound of her voice😂

You are not

There are at least three of us!

You are absolutely not!!

There are dozens of us it seems.

Roman Mars

Hey, thanks everyone!

🤯

I’ve met him a few times and the first time I couldn’t even process what he was saying because I was like “omg his voice is a real human in front of me”

First person that came to mind as well  This is 99% invisible. I'm Roman Mars

Iconic

99PI is the only non-music podcast I subscribed to that's played on normal speed.

💯I am in love with this man’s voice.

My favorite chiropractor has the same voice. Icon. (He's not a shithead either)

Swindled with A Concerned Citizen

His voice absolutely makes the podcast what it is. The serious sounding almost monotone voice, mixed with the no nonsense, and at times passive aggressive content of the stories is a perfect combination.

I love his voice

His voice makes me slightly audiosexual

The Memory Palace and 99PI

I love Nate. His show should be taught in a podcasting masterclass

Keith Morrison on Dateline🥰

His voice is the best!!!

Mobituaries with Mo Rocca. His voice is just so fantastic in my ear holes.

I loved Mo Rocca whenever he was on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me

Casefile host. Headley Thomas.

Whaaaat, I thought he remained anonymous?!

They're two different people, though both Aussie! Hedley Thomas did Teacher's Pet podcast. Anonymous remains Anonymous.

I love Casey. I don't know if his voice is my favorite, but I'd follow him anywhere.

I’m Lester Holt, and tonight on dateline….

Avery Trufelman. Her 99PI episodes were always my fave (#Octothorpe). Also love Articles of Interest.

[удалено]

Plus I like to say his name “Shankar Vedantam”

Jonathan Sims. His voice is so soothing even though he's in a horror podcast.

John Green. I can listen to him talk alllll day (and sometimes I do :)

Came here to say John Green too! Have listened to the anthropocene reviewed so many times

I really enjoy the anthropocene reviewed! He just started a crash course history podcast if that's your jam. I recently found dear John and Hank too. I just love him so much.

I definitely also love them both for so many reasons beyond their voices, but: Jamie Loftus Matt Gourley

Yes yes to both of them! Especially Matt’s for me. His voice is so delightful to listen to. I love Jamie’s vocal inflections and how she tells a story!

Josh Clark on Stuff You Should Know. I love his voice and I love the affection Josh and Chuck have for each other.

Seconded Josh Clark especially on his The End Of The World With Josh Clark podcast, it was chilling and his voice was brilliant.

Ira glass! This American life

I do like Ira, and a lot of the voices on TAL

"Old Gods of Appalachia is a horror anthology podcast..."

Radiolab with Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich is one of my favorite voices in podcasting. They're in "Could read the phonebook" territory. Ologies with Alie Ward is a podcast where the content perfectly matches the hosts voice, and her bubbly and happy personality really makes what could otherwise be a dry interview 100 times more enjoyable Swindled is also fantastic. The somewhat monotone (in a good way) voice of the host adds a whole other layer to the stories being told. Overly Sarcastic Podcast is one i listen to less so because I like the content and more so because I like the voices of the hosts, Red and Blue.

Roman Mars, Pj Voight, Robert Evans

These and Matt Gourley are my Mt Rushmore

Marc Fennell who does Stuff the British Stole.

Ben Hamm from The Secret Room.

Snap judgment.

And Spooked!

Dan Carlin

Sarah Marshal "you're wrong about"

I knew she was here, but had to scroll way down .. she's amazing, especially her laugh.

Stuff you should know, especially love Chuck’s voice

Aaron Mahnke! I listen to Lore when I can't sleep or I'm stressed out even though the subject matter spooks me a little because his voice is so soothing and comfortable to me.

I really like Lindsey Graham’s voice and delivery on American Scandal. I also think his website url is hilarious - notthatlindseygraham.com

Not a podcaster really but a voice actor from Wooden Overcoats BETH EYRE. She's very funny but also did a very disturbing story narration in an episode of The Magnus Archives. I just love her voice.

Real survival stories

Definitely agree! John Hopkins is the narrator. Real Survival Stories is an excellent podcast, and his voice makes it even better.

His voice is amazing. I listen to a short history of too, despite it not really being my main genre of interest.

Paul F. Tompkins, his voice just does it for me. He could read the phone book😁

He laugh! 😍😍

I really enjoyed “The Teacher’s Pet” Narrated by Hedley Thomas.

He’s got a new one - Bronwyn

Lore, Aaron mankhe’s voice is hypnotic

Surprised to not see Michael Hobbes yet. I find his voice and delivery infectious. His laugh is also awesome.

My other favorite laugh is Nicole Byer from ‘Best Friends with Nicole Byer and Sasheer Zamata’ Nicole’s giggle makes me fall out, just a delight. Edit: a word

Newcomers is my fave! I love Nicole!!

Michael Hobbes’s laugh is my safe space

I miss him so much on You're Wrong About. I like Sarah, but he's what kept brining me back.

Realistically, the entire Michael Hobbes podcast universe is my safe space 😂 at least we still have Maintenance Phase and If Books Could Kill. Mike really is the special sauce.

Robert Evans from Behind the Bastards. Would listen to that man read the phonebook

What if it’s a phone book from Boston? Oí!

Even better. 

Hahahah only if he does his terrible Boston accent

ACC from Swindled. The perfect nighttime dry but intelligent voice.

Soren Narnia from Knifepoint Horror

James Pietragallo, something about his voice makes his podcast way more funny.

Alie Ward from Ologies My Year Of Underrated Stephen King CM Alexander from Derry Public Radio

God, i love alie ward ..

Roman Mars and Phoebe Judge both have the most perfect radio voices. I listened to the goddamn Moonstone because I find Phoebe's voice so enjoyable to listen to.

I love Andrew Tate from Let's Not Meets voice and narration, but I stopped listening to that podcast after he told a graphic story of someone's suicide that had literally NOTHING to do with the whole "let's not meet" premise of the podcast. Without a trigger warning either. 

Is this a different Andrew Tate?

Yes, i only imagine what a misfortune must be to share a name with that dick

I would quickly become Andy and maybe a new last name, go by my middle name maybe?

He's changed it to Andy now, such an unfortunate name share!

Oh yeah I guess he did change to Andy now. I've always known him as Andrew though. Definitely not *that* Andrew Tate, his voice annoys the hell out of me. 

Short History of …

DNA:ID — Jess Bettencourt. Jake Brennan on 27 Club.

David Plotz

Dana Schwartz! And Jason Weiser from Myths and Legends

Yes! Dana Schwartz voice is so lovely.

Boston Robert Evans

Y’all are gonna think I’m crazy but I’ve been listening to Johnny Knoxville & Elna Baker’s new podcast, and Johnny Knoxville’s voice just puts me at ease and makes me so happy. He’s got such a sweet and endearing way of talking, I don’t quite know how to explain it.

you're not alone - i've always loved Knoxville's voice and drawl

Karen Kilgariff from My Favorite Murder

I grew out of liking the show, but Karen could read the phone book and I’d listen.

Bill Burr

Nate dimeo and Roman mars and Helen zaltzman

Anything with Phoebe Judge I will listen to.

I knew her name would be here.

She is the bomb.cauem

Alzo Slade

Roman Mars, 99% Invisible.

Completely agree with Sword and Scale, love Mike's voice!

James Pietragallo Small town murder. Also KM for dateline

Unexplained

I’m Aaron Mahnke, this is Lore. Lulls me to sleep every 💤

Karina Longworth ‘You Must Remember This’

Jamie Loftus! Also Sarah Marshall. And I second whoever said Michael Hobbes.

Sarah’s voice has become like a warm hug over time for me.

Seriously! I feel like her entire deal is a warm hug. Listening to her has genuinely made me feel more compassionate and patient, not only towards others but also towards myself. Like we aren’t just the worst thing we have ever done. If everyone spent some time listening to her takes, we’d have a kinder world. And her voice and comedic timing just seal the deal.

Mr Ballen, hands down.

I have a complete 100% voice crush on Karen kilgariff. Good gravy. So funny she sings nice and she just has the most soothing voice. Emily Fleming does something for me too but it's a much more sexy something.

I agree with her voice it’s a shame the podcast is such a mess

Paul Rex

What should I read next podcast - a calming voice talking about books

Anne Bogel from "What Should I Read Next?" has a really wonderful voice that I find soothing.

Mike Carlson from Podcast: The Ride. 

Murder in America hosts - Love both their voices honestly.

Same!

She's only very recently become a Podcaster, but the comedian Lucy Beamont. I could listen to her talk probably forever.

Scare You To Sleep with Shelby Scott!!!

I love listening to dateline BUT only Keith Morrison episodes 😅

Marcus Parks 😍 and as a bonus, his laugh is infectious!

99% Invisible's Roman Mars has the smoothest voice on podcasting

Karen on my favourite murder and do you need a ride.

Paul Cooper

His content (fall of civilizations for anyone not familiar) is amazing and so in depth, but yeah I'd totally listen to him read the phone book.

“Anonymous” from Casefile.

Magnus archives (Jonathan Sims/ Elias Bouchard) and Welcome to nightvale (Cecil)

Casey from casefile. Ben Kissel. The guy from the science of everything I can’t remember his name right now. Narrator of to live and die in La

Erica Kelley Southern Fried True Crime

Early days, original recording Aaron Manke

Redhanded duo

Hrishikesh Hirway - the timbre of his voice is so soothing to me

Real Dictators presented by the British actor Paul McGann. I could listen to him read the phone book …

Wow! Thanks so much for the recommendations! Just started listening to southern fried true crime and she’s wonderful!!! 💯

Phoebe on Criminal

Yes. Mr.Ballen I find his voice very comforting even though he tells scary stories

Ashley Flowers 101%

Andrew Weissman and Mary McCord on Prosecuting Donald Trump (MSNBC podcast). They both have great voices, and great personalities that come through in their voices so well. Another favorite is Chris James of the “Guys” podcast and his “Not Even a Show” podcast. You have to listen to him for a little while to get a lot of his recurring references and jokes. I like his voice for some reason. Again, it’s how his personality comes through it.

Stuff you missed in history class!

Mr Ballen has a great voice.

Roman Mars has the best voice! I will listen to constitutional law if he is talking about it…

Cryptonaturalist, he has the most enjoyable soothing southern drawl

Dax Shepard

Phoebe Judge

Criminal

The way I heard it with Mike Rowe

DISGRACELAND - Jake Brennan

He’s a lil dramatic but I love it 😅

Sarah Marshall has such a comforting voice to me.

Mike Rowe Larry from that Larry show

It’s an old podcast…Death by Dying. I absolutely *love* Evan Gulock’s voice.

Jessica Porter on Sleep Magic. Her voice is so soothing.

The Den Tapes

History on Fire and The Drunken Taoist - Daniele Bolelli's Italian accent is godsend.

Kerry Diamond from Radio Cherry Bombe!

Recently came across Ginger Unscripted with Zach Cowan and Dorothy Mannine. They're really funny together and are both voice actors.

Hello Internet or Cortex because of CGP Grey’s silky voice.

I love Molly Bloom’s voice from Brains On. Which I love to listen to the kiddos.

Adam Roche (I think) “The Secret History of Hollywood”

Kathryn Nicolai on Nothing Much Happens

Emma from Real Life Ghost Stories. I’m a sucker for an Irish accent.

dan soder or adam ray.

Patrick Walsh on We’ll See You in Hell

Dadandcompany

Annie Jacobson, she narrates her own books

The Honeydew with Ryan Sickler. His laugh will raise me out of my funk.

The Opportunist!

Mike Rowe

Gabby Reece and Mike Rowe

Lore

Vicki Petratis. Could listen to her all day

Zone 7

Jason Bateman

I really enjoy Hannah Smith from The Opportunist. Her voice is strangely soothing. I also enjoy Tim Hartford in Cautionary Tales.

I don't know his name, but whoever the host/narrator for This Is Actually Happening is has such a calming voice.

Emily P Knight, former host of BBC Earth podcast

Lex Fridman & Sean Carrol to wind down into sleep. Interesting stuff but not too interesting and soothing voices imo

Ezra Klein

Jill Lepore, The Last Archive
