It’s a take on the cold case murder genre, but unlike earlier parodies like The Onion’s A Very Fatal Murder, Oh, Hello doesn’t try to wring dry every possible joke on the form.
With Oh, Hello: the P’dcast - pronounced “pid-cast” - we finally have a parody podcast that doesn’t need to dress itself up in clown shoes.
As the discourse around podcasting broadens past cliché jokes about mattress ads, it’s welcoming in a more complex and nuanced set of references that become richer with meaning the more we pull on them. So it feels odd that only now the medium is reaching its “inside baseball” stage. Podcasting has long been an insular community where it seems all the creators are fans and all the fans are creators.
