    Bonus: The Mellifluous, Mesmerizingly Masculine Voices of Podcastica
    Jun 16 2025
    I couldn’t help but notice that several of our Podcastica hosts have voices that are… let’s just say, exceptionally rich and resonant. So I thought—why not get them all together for a fun, laid-back conversation? In this special episode of our usually Patreon-exclusive Listener Chitchat series, I’m joined by four of our deepest-voiced dudes, Erik, Jonathan, Greg, and Alex, to talk podcasting, fandoms, Star Wars, The Walking Dead, and whatever else comes up. It’s a relaxed hang with some of the smoothest voices on the network—just for the fun of it. Enjoy!
