439. OCR Podcast Eulogy: Remembering the Dead Podcasts of Our Sport!

We're doing something new—an OCR podcast eulogy! Mike dug through Podchaser, his podcast app, and his own experiences to round up info on over 50 OCR podcasts, past and present. It took a while for our two-person team to pull together, so sorry if we missed any!

We have done OCR eulogy episodes in the past but never a eulogy episode on OCR podcasts!

Mike used his first hand experience, Podchaser, and his own podcast app to find as many podcasts as he could find whether dead or alive. He compiled the show names, descriptions, hosts, how many episodes released, date range of the show, and personal thoughts and experiences where applicable!

There are well over 50 OCR podcasts discussed but apologies if we missed some. We are a 2 person team and this took a pretty decent amount of time to put together. See the shows mentioned in the time stamps below!
