Is there a podcast that resembles You Must Remember this, like lecture based instead of conversational, but for the music industry? Just various band's stories, biographies, politics and stuff like that. There was a little of that in the Charles Manson series.

TheFallenEvincar posted:I really don't get his early Johnny Gosch episodes...like, these are mostly wacko conspiracy theories from a grieving mother, right? Not too different from the creepy ep about the mother whose daughter (clearly) commits suicide but instead she creates elaborate conspiracy theories...but unlike that one he's seemingly presenting all the Gosch stuff straight up? Yeah, I really wish I had started that podcast from the beginning because the fact that right out the bat he completely uncritically presented an 80s ritual child abuse story that started with the cops and reached all the very top of a political party when only actual evidence were the testimony from a severaly mentally ill man in an institution and a grieving mother with an axe to grind would have been enough of a red flag to drop it then and there. He also did an entire episode about how H.H. Holmes was Jack the Ripper, based entirely on a guy who claimed to be a direct descendant of H.H. Holmes and had been passed down his diary which explained everything but he couldn't actually let anybody see it or read it because mumble mumble and was selling a book he was writing.

TheFallenEvincar posted:What with the newest episode being about the Bjork Stalker it straight up feels like this dude is just lazy as gently caress and wants topics that have long infamous internet videos/recordings he can sample for a majority of the episode. Like, I feel uneasy listening to this episode because knowing this crazy motherfucker I can't be too sure how much of the video he's sampling and I don't want to be listening to an episode and suddenly hear the Bjork Stalker blowing his brains out or something. I know he often relies on recordings of poo poo but there's a difference between studying a true crime case and maybe using court recordings or whatever and well...he's already like, sampled loving Budd Dwyer, the Dnepropetrovsk maniacs, Jonestown, Luka Magnotta, it feels like he's going down the laziest lamest loving checklist now. Oh he for sure heavily pads the episodes with lots of boring audio. It's why I stopped listening. All the criticism aimed at the guy is spot on, I just think a few of the episodes happened to turn it pretty good.

Whichever one came later kind of ripped off the other one, but they're both good for current events. I know you said "news" and not politics, but between the 2 of them they cover a pretty wide range of things almost daily. They have hour long ones (bi?)weekly but if something happens outside of the usual production schedule they'll fire off a quick recap. Everyone on both shows can be really funny which is nice, but if you get prickly about Northeast liberals sounding snooty they'll annoy the poo poo out of you once in a while. It's not constant but there's some dismissive NPR liberal stereotype that leaks out. lmk if you find something like The Axe Files, I don't know how many other people as connected as him are interested in podcasting but I'm digging his show (even though yes he can be a little annoying). Just from the start last year to now he's better about not tripping over other people's stories and injecting his own stuff before they can finish. Psyched to listen to the Jon Stewart one from today on my commute home  e: DecodeDC is good too. life is a joke fucked around with this message at 00:56 on May 11, 2016 |

The Stewart episode was a lot of fun, particularly because he wasn't letting Axe rest on the usual excusatory bullshit and false equivalencies that usually annoy me. I appreciate that Axe is strategic and sensitive with his interjections and "what you said relates to something in my life" stuff, as opposed to say an egomaniac type like Bill Simmons who is like constantly interrupting Silicon Valley CEOs and Louis CK to be like "hmmm, your genius/courage remind me of my own, allow me to interrupt this interesting guest to relate the same personal bullshit about me you hear ever episode"

Axe gets a pass because he's usually saying something about his daughter's epilepsy or whatever. I should take a cue from you and listen to some non-american-focused stuff, at this point im at like 10 hours a week or rotating hosts being like "can you believe what Trump has said", with nothing international unless it's relating to what an american politician said.

I feel like she hasn't been saying much lately anyway. She never goes into town to record in the studio either. Also David ripped into her about some gun control opinion she had a few weeks ago, I mean like getting so heated that it made me uncomfortable. I'm probably reading too much into their professional relationship like it's a soap opera but I feel like she might be done with it. I just kind of like her for unknown reasons but there's some weird tension there, like when they made fun of her with a guest host who was not cool with it.

Maybe there she is and there is tension who knows. My biggest criticism is that all three come from very privileged backgrounds, are in that east coat, white, rich, liberal bubble, and are the literal caricature of the pointy headed liberal at times. It can be telling when David blurts out "I don't understand" when the latest BS that has cropped up from the "flyover states" or Emily is very clearly a Third Way Democrat and they piss me off. John, I usually do not have a problem with since most of the time it is him talking about how our system works, political history, or devil's advocate questions.

Anyone here listen to Idle Thumbs? I've really been loving all of their stuff lately; the game discussions are pretty substantial, and the hosts are hilarious. I put EconTalk on my rotation, too. They have a pretty wide variety of people on the show from a number of different disciplines (I remember one with a philosopher, and a few with physicists and machine learning experts), and the host is really great at guiding the conversations and getting the guests to dive deeper into their views/arguments. You don't have to be a total expert on econ to appreciate the show, but they do throw around some jargon every once in a while.

I've been listening to and liking Watch Out for Fireballs and Abject Suffering and liking them a lot when I had a harder time getting into other gaming podcasts. Each episode is focused on a single game and there are just two guys so it isn't nearly as meandering, and neither of them actually work in the games industry so you don't get any self-promotion or back-patting.

I'm looking for some new podcasts with long backlogs of episodes, anything covering investigative journalism, philosophy, news, politics, etc. I already really like Reveal, and I've listened to and gotten tired of Very Bad Wizards. I'd listen to the Unmute Podcast but the production makes it unlistenable. I'm not really into the true crime genre of podcasts that have been discussed.

I have two podcast requests: 1. A car podcast. Ideally, this show would walk through different topics on a weekly basis, i.e. when to perform certain maintenance, what to look for in new tires, when to sell and/or junk the car. I'd also settle for a good car review podcast. 2. A good investing podcast. Ideally it would weigh the pros and cons of passive versus active investing, and give an overview of how the market is moving today, with little talk about where it is going. I just don't care where some dude thinks the market is going short term. If he was consistently right anyway, he'd be a billionaire.

I started with Abject Suffering and I almost bailed because the first few eps were about Revolution X and Mike Tyson's Intergalactic Power Punch so there was a lot of  about musicians and professional aesthetes but I am so glad I stuck with it. Their Watch Out For Fireballs format of playing a classic game (or a portion of a game, for the longer ones that they need to break up) and then summarizing and discussing it works really well; I like that they're willing to, to borrow their phrase, "pretend to be an English major" and discuss a game's overall themes (or lack thereof, like the Indigo Prophecy ep) while also talking about their personal experiences with the game, trivia from the internet, etc.

I'm looking for a podcast episode that was probably on This American Life, but I simply haven't been able to track it down. It's about a highly educated woman who has terrible luck at online dating. She winds up creating a fake dating profile for her ideal partner, and then remodels her own profile based on those of the women who match with this dream man. Along the way discovering that her profile is written like a resume, and that cliches really do work.
