Ok, maybe this is a terrible idea for a podcast, but I’m gonna throw it out anyways: A history podcast styled like a current events podcast. Let me explain. Each episode, a specific historical period is explored and the hosts adopt personas from that period and discuss what was going on at that time like a normal podcaster discusses events now. For example, a podcast hosted by ancient Egyptians talking about the Bronze Age collapse, pyramids, Pharaoh, Moses, etc. It would necessarily be silly and funny, but also educational. Reading that back, it probably is a terrible idea, but it’s a new one that no one has tried.
It’s a really good idea but to pull it off you’ll want a really good producer. It’ll get tired if it’s just a couple people using accents reading from a script. You’d want to have music and sound effects and fake audio quotes and so on.

I think it’s a neat idea 👌

at what point is a podcast just a radio play? that sounds like a radio play tbh
Podcasts are basically all radio shows
