Podcast industry news publication Podnews wrote about the launch of Deeply Unimportant January 6th, 2026, and was the first to write about the new podcast.

Exclusive: Imagine a podcast containing lots of deeply unimportant things. The 1922 Western Softwood Lumber Grading Rules, for example. Or, one containing the 1954 Singer Sewing Machine Manual. Deeply Unimportant has launched today from Dallas Kachan, a former Canadian national news anchor who now wants you to pay no attention at all to what he’s talking about – to stop your brain from focusing on everything else that’s happened today. The latest episode goes into 45 minutes of boring and unimportant detail about the CSC 1972 International Convention for Safe Containers – and long, all-night episodes, are available for premium subscribers.

Editor James Cridland also included news of the show in his daily podcast, and even excerpted an episode for dramatic effect in the middle of his broadcast.
