Blanketspace posted:Has anyone listened to the Cort and Fatboy Show? I listened to their podcast daily about two years ago, and it was pretty entertaining. I know you posted this back in December but I've just now seen the post and that no one has replied to it. Unfortunately, Cort and Fatboy as you knew it disbanded in the very same month you posted your question, but there is good news! They've risen from the ashes and thrown the shackles of being called Fatboy after Bobby Roberts hasn't resembled that in years to create Welcome to That Whole Thing where they read and discuss weekly news. There are presently 27 episodes about 45 minutes in length, and while they no longer have their cadre of guests come on they're quite able to carry the show by themselves. You might also like Ham-Fisted Radio by Dawn Taylor, who always has Bobby Roberts as her cohost and often has her husband Patrick on as well. It's got a similar banter style as the old Cort and Fatboy Show, and has some of the most absurd rants and digressions sometimes. Along these same lines, you might also like The Mediocre Show which was frequently plugged by Cort and Fatboy during the last year or so of the show. The only potential turnoff is that they often have 2 1/2 hour shows, but if you have the time to invest in it, it'll pay off. Thanks to everyone who recommended F Plus by the way, this is a pretty drat amazing show. Death Dealer fucked around with this message at 06:12 on Aug 13, 2013 |

How do you guys feel about trying to get money for a podcast via Kickstarter? I have a couple of friends who are coming back to podcasting, having done nearly 100 episodes, and they're asking for money. On one hand, I get it ... It's a good way to gauge interest and if it's not there you don't have to do it. On the other hand, it seems like a weird way to get cash. Thoughts?

There was a guardian media talk podcast about podcasting that tackled this issue http://www.theguardian.com/media/audio/2013/aug/02/podcasting-digital-media It seems to suggest that it is more common to charge for podcasts if you are in America than in say, the United Kingdom. Personally, if the product is good enough then I am happy to pay for it. But the thing with podcasts for me is that I use it like I did with traditional radio - I listen while I am working (or was working). I am not always fully engaged in listening to the content and I am not the kind of person to sit in front of the computer for half an hour and listen to someone talk at me, regardless of the content. So I don't think I would pay a premium for podcasts. An example is that I pay about five british pounds a month for The Bugle. That is around 1 pound for a show for which I think is fair for half an hour. If it is something longer like say a Dan Carlin thing then 3 or 4 dollars if I remember as a one off. It seems to be a very difficult market to crack, and it is alluded to in that guardian podcast that podcasting in general is starting to flatline. My podcast feed is probably a dozen shows that I listen to regularly which is a small drop in the ocean. I know that there are more entertaining podcasts out there, I wouldn't have found the Complete Guide to Everything if it wasn't for the podcast megathread on here for example. But the way that podcasts are marketed, and the way that iTunes regionalises podcasts to me means that it would be a difficult market to crack if you wanted to do it full time. They would also need a decent POS system or subscription service. And not be stupid about it. 0.50-1.0 for a half hour show is generally what I would be happy to pay for a well produced podcast. Also because in my own mind, I am hoping that at least 2-3,000 others are doing the same thing and also paying a dollar. If it were, say $5 a show, times that by 12 and I am getting into paying more than I would for internet and satellite on-demand television...

I have a couple of friends who are coming back to podcasting, having done nearly 100 episodes, and they're asking for money. Kickstarter is great for this kind of thing because it's a model for supporting things rather than buying them. For example, Roderick is my favorite podcast and one of my favorite things. I would probably give them $150 for a promise to keep podcasting and like a two-sentence personal postcard. But if they charged $10/year to listen, I would tell them to gently caress themselves. Radiolab and the like I would feel different about because they have high production value/costs. (Bandwidth costs are irrelevant because it's your own fault if you can't figure out how to distribute very small audio files for cheap in 2013.)

Hell the D&D podcast I love listening to had a KS for like, a thousand dollars to get better gear and got 10k and that was after like 20 episodes of 'four idiots play D&D and make jokes'. Just stay reasonable with goals and have some neat rewards or something (the D&D one did a set of dice and a dice bag with character logos on them for example) and it's at least worth a shot. Not like they lose money if they fail it.

Is there a thread for How Did This Get Made? This week's episode was on Crocodile Dundee 3 and they had one of the writers on. He talked about pitching the movie and writing it for Paul Hogan. Long story short: Paul Hogan is a dick.

Angry Moo Cow posted:There was a guardian media talk podcast about podcasting that tackled this issue I actually listen to much less than I used to. When I was first getting into podcasts I was excited by all the possibilities so I'd have 20 shows across different categories. I mostly only listen when I'm driving, so it would get to the point where I literally couldn't listen to all of them every episode, so I started skipping episodes here and there. Then I just dropped certain ones entirely, and at this point I listen to maybe 2 or 3.

Vulich the Subtle posted:Another one that I quite liked was The Mask of Inanna. Basically old guy gets paid to watch a lighthouse and then immediately gets involved with a Conspiracy. Quite well done, though the main characters voice will take some getting used to. Welcome to Nightvale is amazing and still gives me shivers at times. I also enjoy the Freakonomics podcast and Chilling tales for Dark Nights. I forgot how much I love podcasts/radio until I found this forum. Does anyone know of any good Healthcare-related (specifically nursing) shows?

I would usually recommend the Nosleep Podcast for good horror audio but they switched over to a stupid pay system where you buy a season pass or whatever, so I guess check out their earlier free stuff. It's good, there's some dumb poo poo because it's all picked from stories written on a Reddit board, but there's been some good stuff too. Not 'pay real money for' good, but decent. I think Chilling Tales actually poached a few stories from that board, though, or maybe vise versa, who knows.

Yea absolutely wasn't meaning that as some 'woah unoriginal' thing, just saying chances are good stuff from Nosleep will still show up on places like Chilling Tales which makes the silly paywall even more silly.

Is there a podcast where working TV writers talk about the craft and relevant industry news? I listen to several podcasts (Writers Bloc, Nerdist Writers Panel) that are interview-based, but I'm looking for something along the lines of John August and Craig Mazin's Script Notes.

I've got a 17-hour total drive coming up, and I'm going to play podcasts off my phone for most of it. Are there any Android apps that would make this easier? Something like making a playlist of casts, downloading them, then I can just hit "play" and they all go and I don't flip my car trying to hit fast forward. Is there something like this? (Also recommendations would be nice, I like the idea of a comedic D&D session to laugh along to. I've got Welcome to Nightvale, How did this get made, and Bombcast in the list of stuff to get already  )

Uh no, the standup thread is just in here because standup is audio entertainment or something. But most (LA) standup comedians have a podcast. You should also get a few episodes of The Flophouse if you already like How Did This Get Made.

A group of humorous friends sit down for Dungeons & Dragons & Drinking, with drinking rules submitted by listeners. The people who make Penny Arcade have also done several D&D podcasts with Wizards of the Coast, which you can find here. Can anyone recommend some podcasts that discuss tabletop roleplaying, ideally with regard to being a better GM?

Not A Vet Yet posted:This might be better asked over in The Goon Doctor, but does anyone have any recommendations for podcasts on the subject of medicine? Either aimed at the general public or at medical staff would be cool. Thanks. I know this was a bit ago, but I'm really enjoying Sawbones so far. It's in its infancy so there are still some hiccups but if they keep up a good selection of topics, it should be pretty great. I really enjoyed the episodes on Opium and Hysteria.

To sum it up: Pete Holmes said to Jon Benjamin: "Hey remember when we were both up for the E-Trade Baby and I got it? Wasn't that funny!!!?!" To which, Jon Benajmin replied "No. Me having to send my kids to LAUSD public schools instead of private school because you booked that high-paying V.O. gig wasn't that funny." I listened to the first four episodes of Revolutions but it's not doing much for me. It's just a guy reading off a script for 25 minutes without any humor or levity or even editing of his pauses and lip smacking. It's like a boring Power Point lecture but without the images.

That's kind of his style. He's come a long way from what it used to sound like at the beginning of History of Rome but yes, he very much prepares his work beforehand - including his colourful off-commentary. I can see how that is offputting to most people but it IS a factual history podcast. Someone like Dan Carlin can make historical retellings exciting but it takes the guy ages to make content like that. Mike does his in a couple of days.

Speaking of history, can somebody recommend me a podcast about the period of roughly 1903-1935 that's not a history podcast? Kind of a pop-culture thing. The trends of the era are really interesting but are often overlooked because of all the actual Important poo poo that was happening.

I've been trying to remember the name of this podcast I used to listen to a year and a half ago. I'll try and describe it as best I can and if it rings any bells I'd appreciate being reminded of it's name. Australian host who would read weird true/paranormal/funny stories with soft music playing in the background. He actually had two podcasts with very similar formats.

Does anyone know of podcasts that focus on European Union politics & analysis? I know several podcasts that debate whatever is going on in the US but am somewhat at a loss when it comes to finding EU related audio - The only thing I found was the European Journal podcast (https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/european-journal-magazine/id288958128) that focusses on internal integration and a small bit of foreign affairs. While certainly interesting I would like to find more programs... any tips?
