I unsubscribed like a month before they announced Patreon exclusive episodes, that show is a sinking ship and it's telling that all the original talent has either jumped ship or is focusing more on their side projects It's hit a bump, I think. I hate to talk poorly of someone who is uncharismatic in podcasts, since I do one and I shudder whenever I hear myself. I think Benj is valuable in a very specific topic, but most of the time I think the show would benefit by him being benched until they can really take advantage of what he has to offer. I don't think Antista is going to make it while the rift or whatever happened. Regarding the paywall stuff, I guess I feel annoyed because I'm being like, misled? They never say there is now a paywall for some episodes because we are not forecasting a very good net gain by the end of the year. Instead they position it like a privilege the Patreon patrons have. Both are true, but I would much rather support someone I like than pay a cover charge. Anyway, I wanted to share this because it makes the work I do more impressive than it is. It's like a drag-and-drop DIY podcast. https://imgur.com/GF6YIkh

Are there any general tech news podcasts anyone can recommend? Something like the old CNET 404 one. A lot of the ones I'm finding are heavy on video games, or way too specific on just PC stuff.

I like Gangster Capitalism, The Dream, Last Days of August, Against the Rules, etc. The Dropout was pretty good if you don't have Theranos fatigue. It's not substantially different from Bad Blood if you've already read the book but it's a pretty decent podcast. (They also did a 60 minute TV documentary for one of the networks that was basically the podcast cut down for time.) e: Believed was also really good if you can stomach Larry Nasser. It's a rough listen at times but very well-done. Embedded from NPR is pretty good as well. I liked Reveal a few years ago but it's fallen off my radar. Ronan Farrow is putting out a podcast companion to his book about reporting on Weinstein, Catch and Kill, that I haven't listened to yet. Gladiator is also really good (Aaron Hernandez ends up dead but 90% of the podcast is about his life). The Impact from Vox was (is?) pretty good. I just finished Gravy Train, which is a really good podcast about Rob Ford, the crack-smoking mayor of Toronto (it mercifully doesn't lean too hard into the HEY HE'S JUST LIKE TRUMP trope). Land of the Giants had a good season about Amazon, but a couple episodes are definitely better than others. Same for What Really Happened, which at its best does some good research into its topics and at its worst is the host just reading off Wikipedia (pick the episodes with topics you're interested in and skip the rest).

I am personally bummed about Reveal falling from grace, because I was a big fan of it a few years ago. But they kept replaying old stories without any kind of update, just to have something to put out on a weekly basis. I get that journalism takes time to be done right, but in that case, do something else. Interview reporters for their life stories, tell interesting things that happened or that you found while researching a bigger story, or just don’t be tied to it being weekly. Reply All isn’t weekly and is much stronger for it, though I loving hate one of the hosts on it and wish that he would gently caress off forever.

Beyond the repeats thing, I vaguely remember that Reveal was just too soft on the Nazis and trying to paint them as deserving of understanding instead of abject violence. I think even Richard Spencer was interviewed and given a platform to speak about his views, instead of getting repeatedly punched in the face. It was the sort of uncritical position that undermined the rest of the stories, and I don't think it ever recovered from that with me.

I'm not sure if it's the same episode but they had an interview with (I think) Roger Stone where they were simultaneously really contentious while also letting him slip in some blatantly untrue statements without challenging him on them. It was a really frustrating experience (the host was clearly frustrated in the interview as well) that added absolutely nothing to the episode. I think that was the last episode I listened to and I don't think I even bothered to finish it.

Given the people's annoyance at one of the hosts of Reply All, how do you feel about Heavyweight's host? I like the stories fine but the intros and the points in the story when he interjects himself into the narrative bothers me a bit.

I literally was thinking this in my head and about to post this then I saw your post lmao At first I actually thought heavyweight was a parody podcast, but I will say this, I listened through the whole podcast and it is fairly endearing and Jonathan really grew on me. There were some good episodes this season that stuck out to me, the recovering addict who got his father’s gun back from a literal nazi off the top of my head Also he’s very Canadian and as a Canadian I get the weird sarcastic dead pan humour

The worst thing about the hosts of Reply All is that as ostensibly left-wing as the show and its content is (the one about TurboTax actively hiding their free option and misleading people into using the paid one dovetailing into an entire takedown of how privatizing government functions creates infinitely more abuse, waste, and corruption that just letting the government do it itself is especially good) they actively refused to participate in or signal boost their employees at Gimlet trying to unionize. Same with then using a revolving door of interns on their show instead of just hiring an actual full-time employee. Also if you like ReplyAll they had a previous show called TL;DR that covered similar material on smaller scale that was pretty good. They left it eventually and turned it over to a new female host and the show was shut down just a few episodes later because she did an episode a man harassing women online and he called her bosses to complain, which pretty much just confirmed everything about his behavior and attitude towards women in the process.

That's all very disappointing to hear, I really like(d) that show. Also I'm the same on Reveal, I just took it off my feed because of the repeats. Al Letson protected a nazi from getting beat down for being a nazi, and is kind of both-sidesey about it.

Reveal is a weekly broadcast radio show on public radio stations in the US, same as shows like This American Life and Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. They have to put out an hour-long product every week to all the stations that pay for it. I get what you're saying though. I remember when Radiolab was an "every once in a while" show and I felt like the quality of each episode went down a lot when they switched to a weekly format. The Reveal organization does do other stuff besides the show/podcast. They have tons of investigative stories on their website.

Are there literary podcasts where a bunch of people talk about current bestsellers, but more in a lighthearted/banter way? Like "I don't even own a a television", for example. Spectology fits the bill, but is for scifi only.

Hey, gang. My partner and I do a podcast and want to start a Patreon, but I want all the money donated to it to go toward supporting a local homeless shelter. Should I just make a Patreon, or is there a Patreon-like service designed to do this that would be better? I know I could just put up a notice that says something like, "If you want to show your appreciation for this podcast, please consider donating..." but I feel like messages like that never really gets anyone to contribute and also it seems to circumvent the personal connection a potential supporter has with the podcast.... I hope that makes sense?

Get the staff at the shelter involved and have them set up a GoFundMe or whatever platform they prefer then plug that.

Well, I wish I could still recommend Tested because it's a good tech podcast but unfortunately it's also a bad pop culture podcast and these days that's generally the focus of the show. Brad & Will Made a Tech Pod actually doesn't get into games too often considering the hosts (Will Smith and Bradshoemaker) but they only focus on one topic a week and it's rarely about new stuff. I like it because I'm old but it doesn't really touch on cutting edge stuff often. I like Shades of Brown a lot but yeah it does end up rather computer or video games focused at time.

I was curious if there are any military podcasts out there, and found one other people on this forum might be interested in. Eyes Left Podcast https://anchor.fm/eyesleft is a podcast by two ex-servicemen and anti-war advocates, left leaning and with an interest in history and political philosophy. If you want takes on current wars intermixed with Gramsci quotes and interviews with active or retired soldiers, check it out. Really good stuff, gives me insight into a culture I know very little about.

I don't know if this is the proper place to ask, but I figure one of you ought to know. I'm trying to find a method to add a podcast hosted on archive.org to my podcast client (Overcast). It's an older show and doesn't appear to be listed on any of the modern platforms, so I need to add it manually via RSS. I think I can get the RSS needed via archive.org's advanced search function but haven't been able to do so thus far. Has anyone more familiar with the platform than myself done something like this before?
