Last Podcast has the same problem as The Dollop where what they're covering is far more interesting than they are funny but they bill themselves as a comedy podcast so they focus on trying to be funny and it gets in the way of the good stuff.

The popularity of pro-DPRK posts has sadly forced the mod's hand an led to some unironic tankie bans.

If only freedom of speech could be guaranteed to people who do not believe in freedom of speech.

Could this be a great schism forming in reddit's array of amazing, totally not insane left wing subs?

As is expected though, the cth user base is in an uproar and calling for more deserving groups to be banned.

Give me an introductory episode for Last Podcast.

https://www.lastpodcastontheleft.com/archive/
Start with any multi-part story that interests you - L. Ron Hubbard, Norwegian Black Metal, John Wayne Gacy ones are very good.
Listener stories episodes are cool too somehow, in one of them Henry describes accidentially seeing David Cronenberg's rear end in a top hat.

I'd say their series on Jim Jones and Jonestown was good too, but it's pretty long and a little intense for a newcomer. For shorter introductions, their recent two-parter on Robert Hansen seemed fine if you want serial killer coverage (although it's also got bad cops in it). The first episode of the two-parter on Bill Cooper is fun if you want a biography on a father of modern conspiracy theory stuff, but the second part is just boring conspiracy theories that they probably should have just skipped. Or for fun paranormal stuff you can listen to The Lost Continent of Lemuria. When they all agree that the theory is stupid, it's pretty fun. Chemtrails and Hollow Moon are good for that reason.

I'd say you're fairly safe with anything starting at the Charles Manson series (147). They started doing more research and hit their groove around then.

The only bad ones that I'd warn people off of would be Leonard Lake and Charles Ng (I remember liking it at the time, but that series was basically the sacrificial lamb to convince Henry to back off a bit with the racist accent and funny voices), or their coverage of more "normal" paranormal topics. The Enfield Poltergeist was a rough listen since it feels like they're too invested in proving it.

So here's a fun one. When you see the line: As a sharply partisan Republican member of Congress, CIA Director Mike Pompeo tormented former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over her response to the deadly 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, which Pompeo called “morally reprehensible.” He also once liked a tweet that branded her successor, John Kerry, a “traitor.”

Also like a lot of podcasts that touch on mythology and the paranormal half the hosts are True Believers and the rest are so dedicated to kayfabe that they may as well be and the show suffers for it. It's not as annoyingly breathless as something like Lore but it is still annoying, especially when as other people mentioned they think nothing of cracking wise and making light of real atrocities.

It's still better than Sword and Scale at least.

On the day when King George V's body passed through London on its way to Westminster, I happened to be caught for an hour or two in the crowd in Trafalgar Square. It was impossible, looking about one then, not to be struck by the physical degeneracy of modern England. The people surrounding me were not working-class people for the most part; they were the shopkeeper--commercial-traveller type, with a sprinkling of the well-to- do. But what a set they looked! Puny limbs, sickly faces, under the weeping London sky! Hardly a well-built man or a decent-looking woman, and not a fresh complexion anywhere. As the King's coffin went by, the men took off their hats, and a friend who was in the crowd at the other side of the Strand said to me afterwards, 'The only touch of colour anywhere was the bald heads.' Even the Guards, it seemed to me--there was a squad of guardsmen marching beside the coffin--were not what they used to be.

Where are the monstrous men with chests like barrels and moustaches like the wings of eagles who strode across my child-hood's gaze twenty or thirty years ago? Buried, I suppose, in the Flanders mud. In their place there are these pale-faced boys who have been picked for their height and consequently look like hop-poles in overcoats--the truth being that in modern England a man over six feet high is usually skin and bone and not much else. If the English physique has declined, this is no doubt partly due to the fact that the Great War carefully selected the million best men in England and slaughtered them, largely before they had had time to breed. But the process must have begun earlier than that, and it must be due ultimately to un-healthy ways of living, i.e. to industrialism. I don't mean 'the habit of living in towns--probably the town is healthier than the country, in many ways--but the modern industrial technique which provides you with cheap substitutes for everything. We may find in the long run that tinned food is a deadlier weapon than the machine gun.

Quoting this for my own use because it's the most devastating burn on the English people I can imagine.

I WILL CUT OFF BOTH OF MY ARMS BEFORE I VOTE FOR ANYONE THAT IS MORE POPULAR THAN BERNIE!!!!!

quote:

It is impossible to watch the 'fillers' at work without feelling a pang of envy for their toughness. It is a dreadful job that they do, an almost superhuman job by the standard of an ordinary person. For they are not only shifting monstrous quantities of coal, they are also doing, it in a position that doubles or trebles the work. They have got to remain kneeling all the while--they could hardly rise from their knees without hitting the ceiling--and you can easily see by trying it what a tremendous effort this means. Shovelling is comparatively easy when you are standing up, because you can use your knee and thigh to drive the shovel along; kneeling down, the whole of the strain is thrown upon your arm and belly muscles. And the other conditions do not exactly make things easier.

There is the heat--it varies, but in some mines it is suffocating--and the coal dust that stuffs up your throat and nostrils and collects along your eyelids, and the unending rattle of the conveyor belt, which in that confined space is rather like the rattle of a machine gun. But the fillers look and work as though they were made of iron. They really do look like iron hammered iron statues--under the smooth coat of coal dust which clings to them from head to foot. It is only when you see miners down the mine and naked that you realize what splendid men, they are. Most of them are small (big men are at a disadvantage in that job) but nearly all of them have the most noble bodies; wide shoulders tapering to slender supple waists, and small pronounced buttocks and sinewy thighs, with not an ounce of waste flesh anywhere. In the hotter mines they wear only a pair of thin drawers, clogs and knee-pads; in the hottest mines of all, only the clogs and knee-pads. You can hardly tell by the look of them whether they are young or old. They may be any age up to sixty or even sixty-five, but when they are black and naked they all look alike. No one could do their work who had not a young man's body, and a figure fit for a guardsman at that, just a few pounds of extra flesh on the waist-line, and the constant bending would be impossible. You can never forget that spectacle once you have seen it--the line of bowed, kneeling figures, sooty black all over, driving their, huge shovels under the coal with stupendous force and speed.
