PantsOptional posted:Today's Dollop is pretty great if you're at all familiar with Marblehead, which is only marginally less lovely now than it was during the time of this Dollop. Their police log is rather telling on this front, as a number of the calls to the police can be boiled down to "I saw a brown person, please help." A friend of mine is a dispatcher there - they refer to their job as the "complaint department". You are on the money about the police blotter, it's a riot, especially compared to Salem and Lynn which are right down the road.

I really enjoy these more modern-set Dollops. I was losing it during the muffler incident. I knew about Charles Harrelson, but I didn't know how weird the story got.

Finally caught up to this show, I just wanted to say that the episode on nude swimming was loving hilarious because there's a weird niche fetish called "clothed female nude male" which is fairly self-explanatory and naked swimming stories are a huge part of that. So at the end when they talk about reading stories of men who grew up in that era being "traumatized" at swimming naked around girls they were basically reading a bunch of jerkoff material and taking it uncritically as fact

I'm thinking of submitting a couple of episode ideas. What's the deal, just send a link to wiki with a note "check out this sick poo poo", or do a proper effort mail? Wasn't it a Goon submission for the ep about the trans car designer scammer?

It was completely hosed mentally and would be alien to a modern American before world war 1. (Not that we're any better now, just different)

These were all problems in the 1800s besides arguably vaxxers, and I'm sure there were people arguing against any medical treatment as against gods plan oh wait yes there was since they literally just did that smallpox smollop Seriously arguing that we are not better now than the years in which it was legal to send your ten year old to work in the coal mines for twelve hours a day for literal pennies on the dollar is absurd It's an absurd nonsense argument rooted in an irrational cynicism

Yeah, I emailed them at thedolloppodcast@gmail.com with a blurb about the Dale and a link to a Jalopnik story. Took them about a month to get back to me (just a quick thank-you note), and the story ran shortly thereafter.

I just started listening to this podcast after being linked to it from somewhere. I've been going from the newest one back, but that one about the FedEx Flight.  Otherwise it has been great so far and I do like the way the hosts drop into a sort of routine at times.

Like most sane people, I've entertained the idea of what it'd be like going back in time to the 1800s. I no longer wonder about that thanks to the Dollop. The whole century sounds absolutely loving terrifying. Actually, the 1700s and the 1900s do too. Everything is bad. Don't brush your teeth with gravel and don't use loving radioactive paste! Jesus! The Dollop, a fun podcast that'll make you sad and horrified. Thanks for introducing me to it, thread. Attack on Princess fucked around with this message at 13:14 on Apr 18, 2016 |

Compared to how history is usually taught, listening to most of The Dollop really gives a better idea of what life was actually like. Sure most of the topics are chosen because they seem crazy by modern standards, but it also covers things in ways that most other histories don't. There seems like a lot more focus on the early lives of the subject, rather than mostly focusing on when they became famous/notorious, and also contemporary public accounts and information from others personally involved in the story. History as it's usually taught generally seems to focus narrowly on events and accomplishments. You may learn about some national shame like the Trail of Tears, but you tend to miss out on the mundane awfulness, chaos, ignorance, etc. of everyday life before modernity that the Dollop conveys. It really dispels the notion that living at any time in the distant past would be anything but horrible.

Apparently Dave is shutting down his Facebook account for a while, and there's going to be a slow down in new episodes. Is this because Patton Oswalt's wife passed away?
