I was quite frustrated by The Gateway since the content seemed pretty thin compared to something like Last Podcast On The Left but I think the final episode made it all worth it.

Agreed with your take and spoiler. The early bit where she gives her opinion of Jim Jones also gave me the shivers in the same way.

I just binged The Gateway and it honestly made me angry. She wasn't loving abused, at least not with a satanic cult or what the gently caress ever. God that woman and her methods disgust me.

Are there any podcasts that focus on pointing out the insane illegal/unethical poo poo in romcoms/Hallmark movies/etc like how shows like Breaking Mayberry break down Andy Griffith? There has to be one right? Everyone knows how nuts they are, someone had to make a podcast for it.

I haven't actually listened to it yet but the rest of their shows on the network are pretty good so its worth giving a shot.

I just found a pretty new Podcast produced by Seeker (Discovery) called Bad Science. They "pair a comedian with a scientist, to break down the scientifically inaccurate elements of popular movies and TV shows." 11 episodes so far and already had some pretty good guests like Reggie Watts, Doug Benson, Jessica McKenna, Jon Gabrus. All the scientists guests were very interesting as well with lots of engaging conversations and anecdotes from their field of work.

Casefile is very serious, but very good about true crime, if you can acclimatize to the Australian accent. LPOTL cults and serial killers was 100% my gateway into the true crime canon.

there was the excellent film podcast Worst Idea of all Time podcast where they watched and reviewed the same movie every week for a year (Grown Ups 2, Sex and the City 2 and that Zac Efron DJ one I forgot the name of). They're from New Zealand but it's basically the same thing with a dumber accent.

Thanks I had heard of that but completely forgot about it.

On that note, anyone know any other podcasts with great accents? I was looking up cockney accents in podcasting and found one called We’re Not Racist and We Love Gays but they ended it and I couldn’t find the files. :smith:

Free To A Good Home oscillates between being a good comedy podcast about ads on Craigslist/Gumtree/etc. and a loving tribute to a now-closed Melbourne dinner theater restaurant. Their website has been multiple different kinds of defunct over the years now, so it may be kind of a chore to find it, but Ben Jenkins' accent makes it all worth it.

A tweet drew my attention to My Favorite Murder's episode Coincidence Island but the profanity before they even got into the story put me off of the whole thing. Any suggestions for good podcasts that are informative, not NPR and not filled with cursing?

Somebody Somewhere is a well produced one on the unsolved murder of prosecutor Tom Wales in 2001. Someone hid out in his backyard and shot him through the window. It's been back in the news recently too and they covered that in real time

Finished In the Dark by APM Media. Season 1 and Season 2. Listened to Serial. Now I am looking for more, really loved In The Dark (if you haven't its an amazing listen). I recently subscribed to Strange Matters and Thinking Sideways for the "weird" mysteries. Need some recommendations please.

It pains me to say this because it's the first podcast I ever subscribed to, but I'm pretty close to giving up on How Was Your Week. Hollywood's changed Julie for the worse. On one recent episode, she admitted that because of fear of unemployment in the industry, she's not going to keep doing the kind of stuff that got her into hot water before Difficult People. Part of her charm was that Joan Rivers-like quality of saying things about celebrities that got people riled up and not apologizing for it (Pauley Perrette and Zendaya, to name a couple of cases), so hearing her apologize for a tame joke she made about Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson made me sad. Also, some of her segments are just reading things from online, like responses to her question in a private Facebook group about naughty things basset hounds have done to their owners, or responses that Jon Lovitz tweeted to people who challenged him on the latest Scarlett Johansson scandal. Less of that, more quirky thoughts about weird and esoteric topics.

Different kind of True Crime, but Slow Burn is about the aspects of Watergate that aren't widely known, and it's really interesting.

So I listened to Up And Vanished and I Googled something about someone who contributed to the podcast and stumbled upon the Reddit and holy poo poo the toxicity is over the loving top. Admittedly the guy who made it seems like a bit of a douchebag who can't take criticism but because of the nature of the case the podcast covered, I could see a lot of the negative stuff about him being a bit of a circle jerk from a small group of people. I googled some of the alleged bad poo poo about him and can't find anything.

Anyone else know anything about this?

Edit: This post is vague because I don't want to spoil anything as the podcast was done in real time and honestly that makes it that much more of a mindfuck.

You should listen to Done Disappeared by John David Booter, produced by John David Booter, music by John David Booter. It's a pretty good parody of all these true crime podcasts. Specially the ads.

I listened to Up and Vanished when it came out and I can understand a lot of the criticism. If I remember correctly, he doesn't really have the background for the kind of investigation that went on, granted I don't think he expected to go the way it went. But I also agree, his speech patterns are definitely off-putting.

I get all that and that's valid, I'm talking about poo poo like he slept with a fan and that's why he and his wife got divorced, or the idea that him getting mad at a particular interviewee wasn't justified. She was downplaying her ex boyfriend burning a body and making it all about her and him while almost completely dehumanizing the victim for fucks sake. I wanted to choke her at that point, too.

There was and is plenty of valid criticism but aspects of it seemed overblown, misguided, or possibly made up on the fan thing.

I just burned through the first 3 episodes. Granted they are short, but if you are not listening to this podcast, do yourself a favor and download all of it immediately. This post brought to you by John David Booter.

At the suggestion of John David Booter, and others, I downloaded Done Disappeared by John David Booter and I must say that this is the finest work I've seen from John David Booter yet. It was quite funny and hit a lot of the same notes as This Sounds Serious (not by John David Booter), but is definitely it's own unique thing.

Not sure if this is the right thread to ask, but I used to listen to a podcast that kind of gathered up the best material from other podcasts into one long file. It had a ton of loveline, among other podcasts. Does anyone know what podcast I'm talking about?
