No Dogs in Space is a music history podcast for true obsessives

The Verge · 3 hours ago

The Verge's weekend editor Terrence O'Brien has highlighted "No Dogs in Space", a long-running music history podcast hosted by married couple Marcus Parks (of Last Podcast on the Left) and Carolina Hidalgo, describing it as essential listening for music obsessives despite its indefinite hiatus. The show has been dormant since July 2024, when its abbreviated third season on experimental rock ended with a promise of a new punk-focused series that never materialised, leaving fans in limbo.

Across 73 episodes, the podcast has explored the histories of acts including the Beastie Boys, The Velvet Underground, Joy Division and The Stooges in exhaustive detail, with some series running many hours long, such as the nine-hour Replacements instalment. O'Brien praises the hosts' chemistry and their mix of scripted, research-heavy segments with looser tangents, plus their habit of citing sources at the end of each episode. Hidalgo has reportedly told fans on Instagram in recent months that she'd like to record more episodes, and the show's return has been mentioned on livestreams, but no new episodes have materialised. It remains available on major podcast platforms including Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts and Spotify.
