If i listen to an In Our Time from 1988 and one from 2015 they sound exactly the same, and that's a good thing. How old is Melvyn Bragg now anyway?

He doesn't say anything racist in the talk with Dan Carlin though. You sure do make a lot of assumptions that don't pan out.

People like to say racist instead of bigoted because it elicits a stronger negative reaction in our culture (see everyone saying misogynist instead of sexist no matter the context). It's a lazy person's black or white way of thinking because people having nuanced opinions doesn't matter when you can just paint everyone you disagree with with a mean word and discount everything else about them. Welcome to the internet.

Bragg is 75, although still seems to be going pretty strong - still 16 years younger than fellow Radio 4 host Nicholas Parsons. I do hope they keep going with it after he retires/passes away though - it's such a unique and great show, and it would pretty much be impossible to make outside the umbrella of the BBC. Obviously wouldn't be the same without him, but there are plenty of BBC people who could make a decent go of it.

The point is in all three cases both behaviours are equally reprehensible and bringing up the difference as if it excuses the act is also scummy.

So if Sam Harris advocates profiling "Islamic looking people" it's the same to you as him leaving a burning cross in some black guy's front yard?

Holy poo poo look at all these posts, there must be a new Hardcore History out...ooh. Ignoring this prissy slapfight, any fans of Tank Riot ( http://www.tankriot.com) in here? Its a weird blend of history, current events, culture, and three nerds sperging, but its pretty awesome. I highly recommend checking it out, especially if you want two hours of chat that you can come in and out of while you're doing something else.

Wow, i'm honored that people went years back to post some milquetoast posts of mine as if they were some kind of massive burn. In a thread that is 100% about talking about posters, not talking about people who make internet radio shows. In a bit of a derail, back to talking about common sense, Dan and Sam make a good duo, Sam is very interventionist and optimistic, while Dan is much more grounded in reality with a very well informed pessimism about the West's role to play in the middle east in general. One of the few common sense podcasts I'd actually recommend.

There's the occasional episode that goes awry (they forget they have an audience or get too drunk), but it picks interesting topics and the insight on Wisconsin politics is interesting.

I've been listening to the Charles Manson saga on You Must Remember This, I'm two episodes in and it's great. Especially since Manson has always existed to me as a pop culture signifier for creepy cult leaders/murderers like Jim Jones but nothing beyond that. I've also been listening to Slate's Whistlestop, and it's great if you're at the "I've read a Rick Perlstein book" level of US politics nerdery or aspiring to it. There's an episode on Dewey Defeats Truman, for instance, or Reagan's 'Nashua moment'. It's also nicely self-reflective in the sense that it acknowledges we love to pore over these details and dramatic turning points of presidential campaigns, but they may not really have had the huge impact we love to assign to them. The episodes on 19th century elections are especially noteworthy because it's a period that doesn't get enough love for how batshit insane some of the campaigns were.

Over the last two years, I've gone from really only listening to podcasts occasionally (subscribed to one or two) to so many I had to open my podcast app to count them all. gently caress this thread for adding one more (Whistlestop). thank you thread

whoever is organizing the 10usp podcast is a complete moron. why do they keep numbering side episodes and unrelated individuals as part of the main episodes? they should place them to one side and categorize them differently. Also Colin Powell is now an American president I guess.
