 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klKiimtMgSEReply All is a podcast about the internet. The internet being a big thing, this means that episodes can cover a wide range of topics that span the entire spectrum of human experience. Each week PJ Vogt and Alex Goldman discuss a topic that they and their team have been researching and interviewing for, often with fantastic results, and the odd side bit like Yes Yes No where they try to explain internet things like "little white cuck ball" a and "0.5x A Press run in Super Mario 64" I really like Reply All because while it is often funny, it doesn't become full-blown atrocity tourism like The F-Plus and other similar podcasts and can evoke emotions other than just laughter. It's also downright investigative at times, with the hosts getting interviews and finding original content with a strong narrative streak throughout to guide it. A few good sampler episodes: Exit & Return Part 1 and Part 2 - A Hasidic Jew gets a desktop computer in the 90s and eventually is discovered and shunned for using this forbidden technology. Years later the Hasidic community struggles to make an internet that is safe for them to use. Why Is Mason Reese Crying? - An exploration of nostalgia on YouTube through the lens of a 70s advertising figure. The Time Traveler And The Hitman - The guy who made that one time travel ad in the classifieds talks about all the things people told him they wanted to travel back in time to fix.  Silence and Repect - A young woman has her digital life destroyed a rebuilt after a picture of her draws the ire of the internet.  Favor Atender - Small South American governments use social media so closely that you can tweet at the President, with everything that entails. The Takeover - A Bored teenager makes a satirical facebook group for a fictional company that winds up being overwhelmed by actual office workers who aren't quite in on the joke. The Flower Child - The creator of RipoffReport.com is quite a character! Taking Power - An expose on the world of underground prank calling. Zardulu - In which it is posited that there is a vast conspiracy involving training rats to do things like carry pizza and take selfies in the name of art. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPXUG8q4jKU Their previous podcast TLDR deals with similar topics and is also excellent.

The story section is generally pretty good but I don't know why it gets followed up with 3 people agonisingly trying to figure out memes from first principles for 10 minutes.

Really good show. I've been listening to it on and off for a while now and I gotta say it has some of the best production values and professionalism I've ever heard on any podcast.

This is a really good show. Particularly the two-parter about the hasidic jew is fantastic. In general, I feel like Gimlet shows blows most of the podcast world out of the water in terms of production value.

I liked the first part better, but yeah it was great. Gimlet is amazing, though I don't like Surprisingly Awesome and I think it doesn't fit with their company. It doesn't tell stories; it's just another sciency informative podcast. Granted, I've only listened to two episodes.

I don't listen to a lot of organized podcasts with the themes and intermissions and things like that, I prefer the Cox N Crendor / Mega 64 format, but this was a nice introduction to these types, I listened to 12 episodes straight today at work, any more Gimlet podcasts people can recommend?

All of them imo. Mystery Show is a good start since it is only 6 episodes. If you are really picky listen to episode 1 and then the belt buckle episode. After that, start working through season 1 of Start Up. Its a serial narrative and addictive

Thanks for this thread as I've listened to a handful of episodes over the last few months and always enjoyed them. I really liked the way he handled the politics of The Clicker guy this week, it would've been easy to look down at him and his app (and eh, maybe it would be slightly deserved) but they took the higher road and it made it a better story. Already subscribed to all 3 of those new Gimlet shows at the end, although I'm worried about the mixing in the fiction one, as even in that one scene I found it hard to distinguish the voices from the incidental sounds even through a decent speaker.

Last week's episode was amazing because you got to experience three people learning about loss.jpg for the first time in their lives all at once in real time.

I hadn't seen the original tweet yet, but the minute he read the text of it I started cracking up because literally what else would it be about except loss.jpg.

This along with Criminal is becoming one of my favourite podcasts. The medium is actually perfect for digging just a little deeper than you would expect in weird, quirky internet stories. #53, the one about the couple in an apartment that ended up getting people looking for their cellphones constantly was a favourite.Zsinjeh posted:Sadly they miss a whole lot of the good backstory to why Ctrl-Alt-Del and that comic is hated, but still good stuff

Didn't he pick up instantly on the awful way Buckley draws faces too? I like how everyone learning about CAD for the first time went from 'they're mocking a comic about miscarriage?' to 'ha, this guy probably deserves it' within a few seconds.

Newest Reply All was pretty fun, I liked how long it took them to realize this was a really dumb idea, and how often someone needed to go sleep. Nice change of format. Also the first two episodes of Undone were really good, I'm glad I actually listened to advertising for once.

Phone call episode is no doubt some kind of strange masterpiece, in spite of the fact that they come off like total wusses.

Yeah, the call-in show was super good. I also wish they did more investigative stuff like they did with "Wayne" and all that. Reminds me of Mystery Show (before it got cancelled  ) and it's what got me into Reply All.

The hosts publicly owning themselves is one of my favorite things about the show, even if they're not in on the joke. The part of the episode about Google ad scammers where he plays a recording of him impotently trying to chew out some Indian call center guy about being overcharged for plane tickets is so awkward.
