I risked it and found myself cackling on a public bus, so thanks for that. The little sound bits edited into the background and the text to speech interjections are great.

One of my favorite sports comedy youtubers, urinatingtree has a real nice style. He mostly covers American football, with some hockey and baseball coverage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUaCEeqxZzg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrDVhAErxEQ

Was listening at work with earbuds and colleagues probably though I was having some sort of breakdown. I hope they’ll do more soon. But it’s not weekly?

A friend of mine (along with a really oddly timed post in GBS) turned me onto a podcast called Death of August (which is about the death of porn actress August Ames) by journalist Jon Ronson. Her husband Kevin posts(ed?) on SA with the name Darkpriest. It's a really interesting and compelling 7 episode podcast! I'm currently listen to Jon Ronson's other podcast series which is called "The Butterfly Effect" which is about the creation of Pornhub and the impact it's had on the porn industry.

What's a good game of thrones podcast? I'm looking for something that updates with each episode, where the hosts enjoy the show but joke around and make fun of it too (not hatewatching).

The zoology podcast, Drunk Safari, often guests a guy from Boars, Gore and Swords, who is pretty funny. Don't listen to the show though so I couldn't say.

Walton Simons posted:Are there any good organised crime podcasts that are a bit more general than Mafia or Crimetown? I'm really looking for something that gives an overview as well as stories from several different groups worldwide, like the Mexican Cartels, Yakuza etc as well as the US/Italian Mafia. I know of Our Thing but it's not on Podcast Addict. Not sure if this is quite what you're looking for, but The Sitdown is an organized crime podcast that covers various organized crime syndicates. I've only listened to the first few episodes so far but I enjoy it. Mike Recine is a stand-up comic and I forget what the second host does, but the show has a comedic slant at times. It's basically "guys shoot the poo poo and talk about mobsters and organized crime groups" rather than in-depth reporting and such. If you happen to listen to either Chapo Trap House or Cum Town, several of the hosts of those pods have been on The Sitdown because Recine is in their circle of friends. Recine was also on Episode 222 of Chapo.

The guy who did finding Richard Simmons has a new podcast out called running from cops which is really good so far. It's an investigation into the show cops, how people get on there, and how it all works. Only 3 episodes so far but worth a listen.

I want to give it a listen, but in the meantime can you tell me if there is a judgement of the cops and/or the show, or is just a history of how it came to be?

The creators of the show come off really poorly they don’t try to portray them well, also, they get into how people of colour are over represented as well as drug offenses, also gets into how people’s rights are violated in terms of signing their rights away to be in the show. I’d say it portrays cops less than good but they do some hand waving for the cops which can be a bit eye rolling That being said they talk to a former cop who was on the show who is now a Defense attorney has some interesting insight. It covers from inception of the show to now both the cops and victims plus the production Do it ironically fucked around with this message at 05:00 on May 4, 2019 |

Sounds interesting thanks. TBH I am no fan of the cops, and there was some recent milestone (30 years?) where people were writing these obnoxious articles about how the show portrayed ~are heroes~ against the zombie hordes. If it’s not that by being even a little critical it’s good for me. I’d be extra interested in hearing what that prosecutor says, looking forward to checking out 🙏

It feels like they’re really going to go into the victims and how it affects them there was one whole episode on a sad story of a suicidal person who ended up on cops and how it portrayed him as a villain

I guess I’ll give a recommend, I finished the podcast Cold recently it is a true crime one, I know, but, they present it really well with a lot of never heard before audio and or writings/interviews It’s slow at the start but it builds really well

Listened to the first 4 episodes of Running from Cops. Very glad to know that America's Largest Street Gang™ has normalized their bullying by curating and editing a wildly popular TV show for three decades, very normal country. I had never heard of  Live PD until today's episode, not even in passing in any way, he was very on the nose in saying that you either know it or you don't. Feel like I would have caught a glimpse of it considering ther 2 million bootlickers who watch it every week but don't feel like Id like it much anyway lol. Sorry of this is TMI about my own non-pod opinions for this thread, but if you feel ways about cops (as a profession or as a show) you should check it out! Good rec thanks.

Are there any literary theory podcasts? Almost every book podcast I see is either "talking about nerd poo poo" or interviews of writers. I'm looking for something that focuses on critical theory applied to literature (or even pop lit) rather than enthusing about X new release. On a related note, I'm about to begin a career in the publishing industry. Are there any podcasts about publishing from inside the profession? I figure it's a long-shot but worth asking.

I used to live in Spokane, so when they mentioned they went there when they needed more white suspects it made sense. A toxic coworker mentioned loving a show that was described as “live footage of police arresting people with no narrative,” so now I know what they were talking about. If they broadcast executions viewership would be easy seven figures and the staff would be celebrities.

I haven't watched Cops in decades but it was a very popular show to watch in the barracks when I was in the military. I feel bad that I ever watched it now. I have a friend who is obsessed with Live PD and I'm looking forward to what they have to say about that show later.

Harminoff was the original recommender, a thread hero. His post also reminds me that I am one of the only podcast listeners who hasn't listened to Finding Richard Simmons yet, though I am not sure where everyone landed on it being exploitative and/or an invasion of privacy.

Print Run is a podcast by two literary agents, one of whom is becoming an author. If you give to their patreon, you get access to their pay only episodes where they critique first pages, query letters, and the like. The Query Show by Blair Thornburgh is by one agent, but focuses on queries exclusively. Writing Excuses focuses on the writing craft and is by some big names in the genre. Shipping and Handling is another podcast about two agents talking about the business from the inside, and they are very open with their opinions. What specifically are you looking for?

Are there any other podcasts like Mystery Show that are actually decent? Short, engaging, slice-of-life human interest piece sort of stuff. I just tried Heavyweight and it almost feels like a parody of Mystery Show. Could've just been the handful of episodes I listened to that might not be indicative of the general quality of the show, but it was self-important, unnecessarily ponderous, and ultimately unsatisfying in its conclusions.

Dang I was gonna recommend Heavyweight but sounds like wasn’t a good fit. Guess it comes down to if you like the host or not, I find him charming but yeah he can be a bit much sometimes. Episode #16 where he tries to learn if Rob Corddry broke his arm as a child is fascinating.

Hyrax Attack! posted:Thanks to whoever recommended Darknet Diaries here a while ago. That has become one of my favorites, especially the IRS episode. This series about cybercrime is great and the website has sources to back up most of the research. The only ones that seem to fall flat are the long-form interviews with one person. I'd recommend the Las Vegas Sands Iranian hack episode https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/37 , The Rise and Fall of Mt. Gox https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/9 , and The Peculiar Case of the Vtech Hacker https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/2 .

Oh hey that was me! Glad people are enjoying it. I love hearing security stories, and it kind of had a feel like the books Kevin Mitnick wrote. Fits in nicely with defcon pen-tester talks. The only little quibble I have is a lot of the time, the tone of his voice sounds almost like he's pleading with or begging the listener, even though the content of what he's saying isn't pleading. Very minor issue though. Having read 3 of Darkpriest's A/T threads about working in the porn biz, I listened to the recommended "Last days of August" and They were well made podcasts, but they sure aren't very uplifting.

The one thing I found amusing/not depressing was Lisa Ann coming across like a mafia don and tough-talking the reporters. Of course that would be her role in the porn world Since you mention it, I want to recognize that this thread has given me a lot of great podcasts that I wouldn't have seen otherwise and most of them were mini-series: Bear Brook, Broken Harts, Running from Cops, Aaron Hernandez, and August all come to mind. I tend to just follow the same podcasts; how do people find out about series like these?

Usually at least one has appeal, it’s how I discovered We Hate Movies and more recently Running from Cops. Plus their archive goes back a decade or so with tons of good stuff.
