About the same time I found Ask. Mr. Biggs, I found another great podcast that compliments the typical radio show idea.
Dial A Stranger, as the name suggests, is a podcast where the hosts, Zachary and Mercedes, asks strangers that have submitted their phone numbers questions given by strangers on the website. The concept sounds a bit iffy, but the phone calls give you a strange insight into the life of strangers. Somehow they’re all fine with talking about the innate details of their life, and it’s very compelling to listen to. Even if someone has a boring life, it doesn’t take long until another person gets called with a new question
Speaking of questions, it’s also interesting to listen just to hear the questions being asked. I imagine they’ve gotten a lot of questions over the past 14 months, and so they’ve picked out some outstanding ones. I’d give some of them away, but I think you should just go listen to the podcast yourself and see what you think.
