In hell I expect to find headphones that play a podcast with overly familiar chatty hosts using inside lingo that almost but never get to any point about any topic ever.

I'm quoting your entire OP because yes. Although I go one step further and don't really like human voices at all.
(Or demonic / supernatural voices, I expect. In hell I expect to be stuck somewhere with voices in the next cavern that are on the one hand too quiet or muffled to make out clearly, and/or talking in languages that sound maddeningly familiar but I can't quite make out, but at the same time are definitely too loud to ignore, and always seem to be trying to get my attention - interspersed with occasional bursts of shouting; angry and arguing and becoming threatening.)

But I really wanted to ask about just this point. If someone has
an audio production that is at least semi-regular, and consists primarily of a single speaker talking, with a theme and topic that interests you and a delivery that develops the topic well and gets to a decent conclusion ... would you not call that a podcast?
