No Dogs in Space is a music history podcast for true obsessives
The Last Podcast Network's deep-dive music show has a devoted following and a promising Krautrock series — but the feed has gone silent since July 2024.

No Dogs in Space has built one of the most obsessive followings in podcasting by doing something rare: taking rock history seriously enough to spend hours on a single band's origin story. Hosted by Marcus Parks of Last Podcast on the Left and Carolina Hidalgo, the show has moved through punk, alternative, and experimental rock across three seasons and 73-plus episodes. Right when it looked ready to launch into a long-awaited Krautrock arc, the feed went quiet.
A show built for the deep cut
No Dogs in Space isn't a casual listen. Each season tackles a genre wholesale, with episodes that unpack obscure lyrics, trace band lineages, and dig into the cultural context most music docs skip entirely. Season one covered punk, season two moved into alternative, and season three tackled experimental rock and pop.
The Krautrock tease
The show's Spotify page confirms what fans suspected: a Krautrock series was in motion, promising to explore the West German commune-turned-band scene that helped define experimental rock. The Verge's coverage notes that the fourth episode in the Can arc closed out an abbreviated third season, with Parks and Hidalgo announcing they'd pivot to a new punk season next. That pivot never materialized publicly.
"The podcast holds a 4.8-star rating from over 2,300 reviews on Apple Podcasts — a strong signal of just how devoted its listener base is."
Radio silence since mid-2024
The show's Instagram account, followed by more than 31,000 people, shows its most recent post dated July 2024. That timeline lines up with The Verge's account of the podcast going dark right after the Can episode wrapped. It's unclear whether the show is on an extended hiatus, quietly retooling, or effectively over.
No Dogs in Space remains produced under the Last Podcast Network umbrella, and its back catalog is still very much worth the binge for anyone who wants their music history dense and unfiltered. Whether Parks and Hidalgo return to finish the Krautrock thread — or make good on that promised punk revisit — is anyone's guess. For now, the archive is the whole story.
Editorial Note
The research corroborates nearly all major factual claims in the article. Sources confirm the podcast details (hosts, seasons, genres), the July 2024 hiatus date, Apple Podcasts rating, Instagram follower count, and the planned Krautrock series. The only unverified claim is the precise episode count of 73-plus, which no source provides. The article's narrative about the podcast's status and quality aligns with the official channels reviewed.
