I tried to listen to roderick on the line today. but it sounds like a 'let me tell you this about that' type of podcast that got boring fast. But maybe it gets better? I only really listen to the dollop at the moment, can't seem to get into something else. Outside sporadically listening to the very famous ones (crimetown, WTF, 99%, reply all, criminal, up and vanished...) I don't seem to find anything new that interests me.

Man I thought Three Moves Ahead would be right up my alley, but I fire up "Underrepresented Theaters and Conflicts" and one of the guys actively refuses to engage the question and spends half the 'cast bitching about it's impossible for something to be underrepresented and I'm just really soured on ever listening to them again

So I've sorta dropped out of the podcast world for about the entirety of 2016 and 2017 (so far), and is left behind of so many podcasts. I've come across three podcasts that all have "town" in their name and it seems people really like them: Crimetown, Limetown and S-Town. What sort of podcasts are those and are they good?

I'm just gonna throw this out here. I'm not particularly into sports, never have been, but I love a good story and I love learning things. So, it turns out that ESPN's 30 for 30 is now making podcasts too and they're really good so far! Listen to such stories as: The light-heavyweight boxer who started climbing the ranks to the championship while in a maximum security prison and doing all his fights in the prison itself. How a bunch of punk rock kids in Boston made a zillion dollars selling bootleg shirts that said YANKEES SUCK. How Reebok took two athletes named Dan and Dave and made them the centerpiece of a huge ad campaign leading up to the '92 Olympics but literally nothing goes according to plan. How one of the top poker players in the world and a lady with a grudge teamed up to win millions of dollars by making the casinos unknowingly reveal all the cards. There's only 5 so far, which kinda sucks. But man, so far it's some real good poo poo and they're all full of crazy twists and turns.

Crimetown is about the political corruption of Providence, Rhode Island. Or at least, the first season was. Limetown is a fictional narrative about an experimental research facility where every person living there mysteriously vanished one night, and an investigative reporter goes to the place to figure out why. S-town is an investigative look into essentially smalltown life in the middle of nowhere in somewhere in the south. Limetown's really good, and I've been meaning to check out Crimetown. People like S-town, but I haven't bothered listening yet.

s-town is the best thing I have ever heard. I don't want to ruin anything but it is a look at a small town through the eyes of a cool/crazy dude from that town and a producer from this American life. I cannot recommend it enough.

I wonder if there's a The American Life for other countries as well. I kinda want a podcast or radio broadcast in the style of TAM in non-English languages, like German, Japanese or Indonesian. Edit: So I just learned that one of my favourite gaming podcasts, Flip the Table, is in its final season and will be ending this month. Does anyone have...similar podcasts to that? It's basically four people mocking bad licensed table games (ie games based on other properties like tv shows). God, knowing one of my first podcasts is going to end is harrowing. toanoradian fucked around with this message at 12:46 on Jul 26, 2017 |

Awesome, yeah there's some (or maybe an?) ad at the beginning and maayyybe at the end, but no breaks in the middle or anything. 30 for 30 has a shitload of video documentaries that i've only seen a tiny fraction of, but all seem to be pretty cool so i'm glad that their new foray into podcasting is starting out pretty well. e: guess i could link the site or something. e:e: I liked the first a lot (Dan and Dave), especially once my brain dredged up the memories of those ads which gave it a touch of nostalgia for me. But, i fuckin loved the Yankees Suck! and Queen of Sorts episodes, neither of which i had any idea about going into and i just ended up enthralled. a kitten fucked around with this message at 03:00 on Jul 27, 2017 |

I need help and I'm going goddamn crazy. My podcast that I just recently finished refuses to play on Soundcloud. When I upload it I get a message that says "Track Cannot Be Played". I really really really do not want to go through and re-edit this thing because I've already spent way longer on it than I normally do due to technical issues. I have tried the following formats and it's the same on all of them which leads me to believe it's something with Audacity: Wav (32 bit) Wav (16 bit) MP3 AIFF All of them give me the same goddamn error. However when I play it in Windows Media Player or VLC everything is fine. I'm at work so I can't really do much with it right now. Any thoughts or suggestions? EDIT: I'm having my cohost download the Youtube version as a MP3 and then uploading it that way. EDIT 2: Downloading my Youtube video as a Wav and then uploading that file worked.

Anyone talk about Murder the Internet yet? Just started listening as something in between catching up to UYD. Burned out on Dollop and anything involving McElroy boys, and I already exhausted all episodes of Cum Town and Chapo. Tried to get back into The Bone Zone and it hasn't stuck (BRING BACK DAVEY, BITCH)...so I do have openings for comedy podcast. I'll still gently caress with the F-Plus when an episode comes out, though I do get diminishing returns from those types of podcasts now since I've heard so much "people reading a funny thing on the internet" by now with that and Lou Reads the Internet. I'm listening to I Don't Even Own a Television and it's cool enough, even if I am tired of all the theme songs. Any other comedy recs based on my past taste?

I'd kill for a Lexicon Valley type show for foreign languages (French or Spanish, being the only other two I can speak), whether in English or those languages. But it seems to me that podcasting is less developed than in the English speaking world. Almost makes you want to make it yourself.

rumble in the bunghole posted:Maybe Comedy Bang Bang? It's one of the bigger comedy podcasts so should be worth a shot. I love CBB, and I think you can just dive in, but you may want to pop into the CBB thread and ask for some good recommendation episodes. A lot of the backlog went behind a paywall, so they should be able to point you to a good recent (free) episode. Improv4Humans is another Earwolf show. It's improvised skits based off of stories the comedians bring to the table (inspired by twitter suggestions), but they have a regular segments about terrible things they find on the internet/youtube and allow comedians to talk poo poo about things that piss them off. Think F-Plus lite, but with a concentration on skits based off of the terrible thing they've found. They just did a three part series called The Mopes, which you might like/ If you haven't tried the Dollop, do that. It fits in with your tastes of "Let's make fun of the horrible and lovely things" but about the obscure things in America's past. I haven't listened to it in a while, but you might also like Sick & Twisted, which is like The F-Plus, but as a competition to who can find the most sick & twisted story that week. Oh, and of course My Favorite Murder, a comedy podcast about murderers. Franchescanado fucked around with this message at 15:10 on Jul 28, 2017 |

Half of the show is interview, while the other half are them discussing things they overheard. Regarding not recognizing anyone in it: Paul F. Tompkins was a guest on that show for like five times, try those episodes. My favourite was this one, but it's from 2014. The hosts are Canadian, so their guests are probably Canadian comedians. I'm not American in the first place, so the list of guests in, say, Bullseye or CBB is as foreign as those in SPY. At first, anyway.

Is this the right subforum to be discussing sound hardware? I was just given a set of Yamaha NS-A222's from the '70s, they look great and I remember them sounding really good, but the tuner has been broken for about a decade. I was hoping for a recommendation. I don't have the shelf space for a record player (or my records) right now, but I could definitely use it to play music with my PC if I had a DAC/AMP. I also assume modern record players have some way to input to a modern amp. Most info on those are bullshit, or made up by some audiophile, though. I've never had a set of speakers this big. They're each 140 watts at 8 ohms, and about 4 and a half feet tall. I thought briefly about plugging them into my little headphone amp, but it seemed like a very bad idea once I stopped being excited and thought about it for a second.

Maybe you can find a nice old amp (with a build in tuner?) at some thrift store? I'm amazed sometimes at the great amps I see there for very little money. Make sure its output isn't higher than that of your speakers though

I have a number of podcasts that are just 2-5 people talking, and I like to have them as background noise, but looking at my feed, it's mostly dudes. So I'm looking for more podcasts with female hosts. Any recommendations? Here are a few I've tried so far: Call Your Girlfriend - This should be what I would have wanted, but I find these two insufferable. I'm also really not a fan of listening to people get drunk on a show; it's never entertaining. Lady to Lady - Sometimes good, but most or all of them are performers for a living, and the desperate competition for airtime is wearying. I've found that I tend not to like that in podcasts, to the point that having a non-established stand-up comic on it is kind of a red flag for me. Also I hate hate hate the music. Glowing Up - This one just started, and it may or may not be what I'm looking for. Although I expect there'll be a heavy focus on consumer products and that'll be kind of boring. Also, one of the hosts is a stand-up comic, which has me slightly worried. She Does - While something about the style never quite connected with me, I do like it. But it's also most likely over.

Except it's totally satirical and hilarious. I suspect two women making fun of issues usually featured in women-aimed media appeals to me because I'm a misogynist, but that's neither here nor there. Also, try Baby Geniuses, it's part real interview show, part fake CBB-ish interview show, hosted by two women.
