I listened for a few minutes, they mostly talked about table top rpgs, and I decided someone was loving with me and turned it off. Oh, I eventually decided the lawfare podcast would fit the bill.

TAL turned into hardcore furry porn so gradually, we almost didn't notice. I did give this ep a listen, and noticed that the professor was nearly crying over the fact that she doesn't get to insult and harass students just because they aren't taking her courses at the moment.

I feel that TAL does too much to sympathize with people who should be justifiably mocked and shunned, like the one youtuber who started being very feminist and then ended up dating an MRA dude. But perhaps it is me coming from a position of hostility, rather than any need to understand this subculture.

TAL has been on a tear recently of profiling "reasonable conservatives" and the various Republican diaper fetish astro turf orgs. Jesus Christ I could care less about that loving loser Jeff Flake or that "Heretical" preacher who moderated his ridiculously antiquated views to "hey, guess not everyone is going to burn in hell when they die," or some idiot republican student who got offended because a poster had the word "motherfuck" on it at her college.

snucks posted:I don't think trying to treat conservatives as reasonable is beyond the pale, but the conversation needs to be blunt about how the conservative crusade for 'free speech' results in teachers that voice concern about fascism getting fired while nazis that openly advocate violence don't face any consequences. If conservatives don't want to be considered nazi-adjacent, they need to be confronted with the fact that they're empowering nazis. There was a brief moment during the 2016 primaries when the liberal media was forced to admit that most conservatives are driven more by racism and sexism than by fiscal issues, and the lesson was forgotten as soon as possible. By teachers that voice concerns about fascism, do you mean to say, teachers that accuse whoever they disagree with of being fascists? You outright say that "most conservatives are driven more by racism and sexism than by fiscal issues," i.e. most conservatives are racist and sexist. Dude, why not just drop the facade of trying to be a moderate progressive and just admit that you think that they're all scum? You're eventually going to be forced into that position anyway, or run the risk of being considered a fascist yourself because in your post history you once said that you thought that treating conservatives as reasonably wasn't beyond the pale.

We got actual nazis marching in the streets and a president who would be a fascist if his brain wasn't full of holes from tertiary syphilis, so I think it's OK if we accidentally group some conservative fascist-enabling shitheads in with the actual fascists.

Falukorv posted:Sadly they’re few. “Science at the American museum of natural history” put out AMNH guest lectures, many episodes are zoology or otherwise biology-related, as you would expect. Most of the rest is astronomy. I've noticed. I'm not a fan of taped lectures, it lacks the care and/or spontaneity an actually produced show has. I've looked around and this is the list of shows I've discovered and I've listened to (there's a lot more but I'll get to them as I go through them): Tetrapod Zoology Podcast: I may have mentioned this one earlier. I gave it up earlier this year. They have no real production schedule, which isn't necessarily a problem, but it's a bit too esoteric for me, with most chat being on prehistoric animals with only scientific names. Also, I don't quite care for the hosts banter, and they banter a lot. They used to review movies to for whatever reason and generally speaking I don't agree with any of their cinematic opinions. Its linked to Scientific American, last I heard. Zoology- La Trobe University Podcast: This is not unlike the AMNH guest lectures. It stopped production in 2014 as far as I can see but there's at least two dozen episodes there ranging from 40 minutes to 3 minutes. Some episodes are just lectures, which were taped and distributed, while others are short interviews of the researchers at the university, which can be pretty interesting. In the end, there's not a lot of content but it's pretty good. It's a bit scholarly but not so much that a lay-person can't enjoy it. Bad Zoology: I've only gotten through the first three episodes, and I'm going to try to go further. Pros: Pretty interesting. Three guys, I think none of them are experts, research animals they find interesting and share their findings. There's a fair amount of dumb banter, and they do live fact-checking, which strikes me as a bit amateurish, but the idea behind the program is what I enjoy: discussion of cool animals. That said, the production values are horrendous and I'm sticking around to see if that gets improved. They seem to have stopped production after nineteen episodes last August, after a regular updating schedule, so they may be dead. The Wild Episode: I just found this and it's just started. There are only 6 episodes, and the update schedule seems to be every few weeks. It's an excellent show about interesting animals with a slight, perhaps coincidental, focus on extinction and conservation. The production values are really good and the shows are finely crafted. If anyone has even a passing interest in zoology I really recommend it, each episode I've heard has been great and you won't go wrong starting at the first one or where ever. Episodes are 20-30 minutes long so it's really easy to check out if it's to your liking. I'm hoping the guy gets listeners because it's a really great show.

In my recollection, no, but I'm sure he's improved. IMO Robin is the best podcaster out there in terms of delivery, pace, etc. (Duncan may be the better writer). If more history podcasters could learn to pause between paragraphs like Robin does, they'd be more listenable.

Worth noting that Mike Duncan had never done a podcast or anything similar before starting History of Rome, while Robin at history of Byzantium had done several years of podcasts about TV shows and stuff before taking up history.
