100YrsofAttitude posted:So on these music podcasts do they actually play the track alongside the explanations? Ya, they'll dip in for snippets frequently. First couple of episodes cover Rick Rubin's career, and a chat with Nile Rodgers. Both really interesting. Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but Song Exploder is cool too. Artists take a single track and talk about the instrumentation, writing, etc. As a musician myself I love this approach.

I just finished listening to Believed, from Michigan Public Radio. Can’t recommend highly enough! It’s about the Larry Nassar case, so the subject matter is incredibly upsetting, but it’s handled sensitively and it’s absolutely fascinating to see how he got away with it for so long. It feels important. Plus some really A+ midwestern accents!

(It's a real good look though, obvious huge content warnings for the whole 'this is a detailed look at a pattern of sexual abuse that was basically just allowed to destroy young woman for years' thing)

There's now a podcast about that pornstar that killed herself last year/a couple years ago, August Ames. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2019/jan/11/the-last-days-of-august-review-ames-jon-ronson-podcast-porn-industry Partially mentioning it because her husband, who is also featured in the podcast, used to post here under the name of darkpriest (?). Haven't listened to it, and it's not really on the top of my list tbh.

I listened to the first episode of The Drop Out, about the Theranos debacle. It was pretty good. It’s ABC News so it’s not as artfully produced as it could be - more or less an audio version of 20/20 - but their name probably helped get interviews from a lot of former top brass. And it’s just a hell of a story, of course.

I don't have a twitter account and have zero motivation to make one. And on top of that I have no idea where their discord is or if it's just Patreon supporter only. Someone with one of them tell the What a Time Pod group about Hbomberguy's charitystream to support a charity that assissts trans youths that ended up raising like 350K$. And also that it was mostly just to spite Graham Linehan in the first place. The fact that it got enough notice that Cher and Adam Savage retweeted it and even people like Grant Kirkhope and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez dropped into it for a few minutes should be notable enough to make the list, I'd hope.

I ran a forums search to see if there was any discussion on The Last Days of August and was surprised this is the only place it's mentioned given that Kevin Moore is a goony goon; of course listening to the podcast knowing he's a goon kind of elevated my level of interest. A fellow goon also drew my attention to Kevin's Q&A here in SA and it's kind of weird reading it after hearing the podcast - https://www.somethingawful.com/comedy-goldmine/kevin-moore-porn/1/?fbclid=IwAR2oAcIXI1jYv13PDmX0Af4wEL22xqDUXu_ZWHcUXeqyZQMZrHYjhIMpOsQ There's little doubt he's a gaslighter with some strangely intense charisma, whenever he's speaking on the podcast I found myself questioning whether he was also a victim of a lovely industry or whether he was at the end of the day what Ronson was implying he is, an abuser who gravitated towards these young vulnerable women due to some self-imagined savior's complex but after the interview with Sahari I felt like the verdict was pretty clear, he's just another douche in a horrible industry. My take on August's life and death is: if you're an attractive young woman with who's willing to use her sexuality in order to gain the attention of older men there's literally millions of guys who'd jump at the opportunity to take advantage of you. I think it's well worth listening to, definitely left an impression on me.

Red_Fred posted:I used my free Audible book to get it. However given it’s in the Audible app I forgot to listen. I’ll try remember to start it today. I also got it free reactivating my account after a year or so. Didn't have to give up my free credit for it, though. You get 2 of these amazon exclusives for free I think. Used my credit to get James Acasters book (short stories that were part of a radio show or podcast at some point I think), which was hilarious. About the podcast itself: It's very well made, can't say I was surprised by any of it.

Lately I've enjoyed listening to The Shrieking Shack, a podcast by 2 lapsed Harry Potter fans going back to reread and discuss the entirety of the original books chapter-by-chapter while also taking the time to poke fun at some of the more cursed sides of the fandom and the brand's current media presence. I like their good-faith approach to the reading, being willing to appreciate the parts that still hold up but also really tear into the bits that... don't. Their dedicated comedy bits are a little hit-or-miss, but generally they're a pretty funny duo and made me laugh out load a couple of times. Are there other podcasts doing these kinds of media deep-dives? Only one I know is System Mastery's Expounded Universe spinoff show, but as much as I like System Mastery I just... Cannot handle the Star Wars EU.

I’m part of a Babylon 5 deep dive podcast called “The Name of the Pod” that goes episode by episode looking at the ongoing cultural legacy in genre and non-genre media. If you have an interest in sci-fi tv of the 90s and the changeover from episodic to serialized tv you might find it interesting. Some friends did a WKRP in Cincinnati history deep dive podcast a few years back, “Hold My Order Terrible Dresser.” They’re much smarter and more insightful than I am.

Anyone else listen to 372 Pages AKA RiffTrax for books? It started as Mike Nelson and RT writer Conor Lastowka reading and making fun of Ready Player One but they've started covering other books, having recently finished "William Shatner's" Tekwar. It's a lot of fun and really makes you wonder Where Have All The Editors Gone?

Generation Why just released an interview with the director of Murder Mountain, a Netflix documentary about a remote community in Northern California. It's a pretty wild place; with legal and illegal weed growers, drop-outs, hippies, veterans, and mexican and russian organized crime gangs. Several people have gone missing over the last decades, and the police is afraid to enter some areas because people are armed and don't give a gently caress. I watched the first episode and it has a really weird vibe, like it was the inspirational piece for the latest Far Cry game. The Gen Why dude said it reminded him of Twin Peaks, so I guess that works too. Not really a podcast, but if you like True Crime shows, worth a watch. (also worth it for the look at the not so hippy-dippy weed growing industry)

I wanted to check out Talking Simpson’s since I have heard good things, but I noticed the more recent episodes are 2+ hours long, which is a lot to keep up with for a weekly podcast. Do they actually have that much to say about a single episode of The Simpsons or is it a lot of tangents? Also ~Coxy is nuts. Reply All is one of my favorite current podcasts and they do some fascinating deep dives on internet stuff.
