Northwoods Baseball Radio Network is my favorite. It’s a fictional baseball league based primarily in Wisconsin. Games are called by a droning announcer. Even the fake commercials between innings are monotonous.
I listen to it during the day too. I’m very tempted to score some of the games, but I’m a little worried I’d find holes like only 2 outs in an inning or missing innings in a game.
They periodically have ‘specials’ such as idle chatter by the announcers during a rain delay. Ha!
I love this, and I wanted to use it when I was suffering from a bit of sleeplessness in the past month or so. Unfortunately, my brain gets stuck in a loop trying to figure out when the audience noise loops. There's one guy who makes the same holler every N seconds.
Northwoods is actually a very real collegiate summer baseball league.
Hah! I often keep a few 1-3 week-old sports podcasts around as a sleep aid.
I find that outdated previews/predictions of events that have already happened is the perfect thing to get me to doze off.
I think the 2 weeks of heavy speculation about where Giannis Antetokounmpo will be traded to has me set for another month.
I almost think the possible scoring inconsistencies would make it better, not worse
I found the voice doing the play by play more aggravating than anything else. I don't know why. Very interesting.
That’s great. Definitely going to check it out. I usually use NASCAR for this. I’m out in 10 minutes like a baby going for a car ride.
Same effect for me. As a child, I was prone to fall asleep even during live events! The racing cars or motorbikes were interesting, but the drone of the motors brought an overwhelming drowsiness.
I didn't think baseball could be any more sleep inducing but this is great.
For me it's Sunn O))) Live at the Mayan. I've never made it past the first note before falling asleep.
Michigan. Though there are fictional Wisconsin teams in the fictional league.
