Rob & Akiva Need a Podcast #129: Podcast Power Hour

Rob Cesternino (@RobCesternino) and Akiva Wienerkur (@Keev26) need a podcast and every week, Rob and Akiva spin a wheel of listener-submitted podcast ideas, and whatever the wheel lands on is what they podcast about next. This week, the wheel landed on “Podcast Power Hour” which resulted in Rob and Akiva taking listening to a dozen podcasts, and then letting you know what you missed in the past week of podcasts across the internet.
Below is the list of podcasts Rob and Akiva listened to in the episode:

Zack To The Future: Mark-Paul Gosselaar who played Zack Morris goes through old episodes of Saved By The Bell for the first time since he taped the show in 80s-90s. He has a cohost who was the one that created Zack Morris is Trash series. Mark-Paul basically complains about the show which makes it really funny.

Office Ladies: The Office (the actresses that played Pam and Angela)

Imagined Life: Biography of a famous person (with a twist)

Urgent Care: Advice Podcast

Why Won't You Date Me? with Nicole Byer: Stand-up comedian Nicole Byer (host of Netflix's Nailed It and now Wipeout with Jon Cena) is smart, funny, beautiful but also somehow perpetually single. Each week Nicole talks with a guest - usually another comedian - about sex, dating, relationships in an honest (and often graphic) way while Nicole tries to figure out how she's still single.

Who Weekly: Pop culture

Frenemies: YouTube/TikTok things going on

The Daily: NYT's Daily Podcast

Dr. Gameshow: Two comics - Jo Firestone and Manolo Moreno - host this podcast where they play ridiculous games submitted by fans with callers (currently recorded over Zoom). It's very silly, weird, and family-friendly.

The Unmade Podcast: The premise of the podcast is 2 guys discussing podcast ideas that they'll never end up making. This is a perfect corollary to RAANAP. You may even get an idea or 2. Beyond that, these are experienced and entertaining podcasters with banter that often runs far from the initial premise.

Killer Role: New podcast from NBC Dateline

My Favorite Murder: Murder

After Rob and Akiva complete their power hour, they go through the mailbag to hear what new ideas should be added to the wheel and then spun the wheel to see what will be coming next week in episode 130.
