There are worse voices making more amateurish mistakes out there but the most-inexplicably-and-egregiously-and-intentionally?-annoying answer for my money is Michael Barbaro in The Daily.

Retronauts' Benj Edwards is like if you took the red shirt guy from that old World of Warcraft convention Q&A video and made his voice slightly deeper and also made him think that being very knowledgeable about his individual niche meant he could speak with equal confidence on subjects he knows nothing about to the point of slamming the breaks on the conversation to argue with his co-hosts whenever they disagree or challenge him on anything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFnGjyPYxjM

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:Most annoying podcaster out there? My vote is Elliott Kalan. The thing that bothers me about him is that he is knowledgeable but then he breaks down into a tangent, usually in song format. He doesn't have to resort to that wackiness. I don't know how the other flop house people deal with him.

Right? Chris Hardwick talks more about himself than Marc Maron, like he's on par with whatever actually interesting person he's talking to, as if they're colleagues or peers. At least Maron actually is a peer and talented and accomplished in his own right. Meanwhile Hardwick is out-celebritied by his old roommate Wil Wheaton.

Punkin Spunkin posted:Goddamn does my feed get cluttered with PREVIEW eps sometimes The Apple Podcast people have claimed they are working on such a feature, delivering previews or alt content into a side feed that doesn’t disrupt the main, but considering the only feature they have delivered in the last four years is getting bigger cover art in as many places as possible, I wouldn’t hold my breath.

The Podcast Republic app has a feature to filter out episode downloads by custom keywords, like preview, prequel (looking at you 'how did this get made'), live, rerun, etc. Not sure if it's on iOS though.

I get that it's a conversation so he has to talk too, but he spends so much of it trying to impress his guest through pseudo-intellectual bullshit or making dumb jokes; it's a real struggle to listen to sometimes.

I want to dislike Hardwick but when I used to listen he had so many delightful interviews, like with Tom Hanks or Schwarzenegger (where they were supposed to be promoting Sabotage but Arnold just discussed his early days in America charmingly.) I know Hardwick did/was accused of something sketchy a few years ago, but I'm not gonna pretend Nerdist wasn't an enjoyable listen. And at least it gave us Jonah Ray, he's still great when he pops up on stuff.

Even accounting for taste it's pretty tough to argue that a guy who was a professional gameshow host, actor, standup comedian, and musician has the worst voice in podcasting. Getting burned out on him after listening to Nerdist for years and hearing his anecdotes and turns of phrase a million times, on the other hand...

Elliott Kalan is a motherfucking saint. I hate nerd voices in general (no offense), but his only bothered me for a little while. Though, I do listen to that show pretty much non-stop when I'm doing work around the house or gardening. It's my go-to, not really paying attention but need to hear people talking podcast.

I also used to interview famous people for the web in the days before podcasting, but I'm sure if you listened to me have 150 conversations you'd start to want to give me a wedgie too.

It’s a nerdy, inoffensive, chit chatty daily morning show that’s well produced. They have a lot of regular guests like Tom Merritt, who comes in to talk about tech. Otherwise it’s the usual geek culture stuff but made by reasonable adults who have more normal American lives than anyone I know. Solid easy listening. https://www.frogpants.com/tms

it was one of those things where the 'trash talk' had a lot of solid proof of terrible behavior but he was mister soft boy nerd so it became a 'but I'VE been around him and he never spent years emotionally abusing ME' and we just kinda forgot it after the people he told to investigate told him he was actually the real victim. She made the classic blunder of being like a couple months too early in sharing her traumatic event before it became the cause celebre in hollywood to pretend to care about. I mean, I get it, sometimes really great artists have dark sides. Kubrick and Hitchcock were incredibly cruel to their cast (especially women) but produced masterpieces, Polanski is a rapist but his work is forever ingrained in cinematic history regardless, and Chris Hardwick has five shows where he goes 'wow wasn't that pop culture really great?' and comedy specials where he goes "ARE THERE ANY NERDS IN THE AUDIENCE?????" for an hour. sexpig by night fucked around with this message at 03:56 on Jul 18, 2020 |

Does anyone still listen to How Did This Get Made because I dropped them after like 2 episodes and heard they got worse, especially with the overabundance of live shows We Hate Movies is way funnier anyway, I almost crashed my car laughing at the one mailbag episode where they just spontaneously did Klingon voices and now whenever people bring up Shrek online I have to respond with "he look like Shrek" Zeether fucked around with this message at 16:13 on Jul 19, 2020 |

Yeah, I dropped How Did This Get Made in like 2015 because it was getting insufferable, then I found We Hate Movies shortly after that and never looked back. WHM is way funnier than HDTGM ever was.

I've listened to a lot of bad movie/generally make fun of movies podcasts but WHM is the only one I've stuck with for years, let alone subbed to a patreon for. I'd love to know some other good ones, though, that can hit that balance of good riffs and movie discussion and all.

Makes sense. She just wanted to publicly lie so that angry men on the internet would harass her every day until they moved onto some something else. Nobody else came forward, probably has nothing to do with said online abuse and that he and his Hearst wife have literal billions at their disposal. Makes sense. It’s this weird thing women do where they lie about a serious crime in order for publicity. Makes sense. All my messy breakups with powerful people, I make sure to falsely accuse them of a crime so I can ruin my life for several years. It just makes more sense than “a man treated a woman like poo poo” tbh. Especially “a man whose Walking Dead aftershow I’m a fan of treated a woman like poo poo”

That one standup album where she talks about losing her mom, and cancer, is just raw as gently caress and yet loving hilarious and beautiful and just one of the greatest fulfillments of the real power of comedy ever and if she never did anything else she would still be a legend. She's the best.

Does any podcast talk (not at length) about important battles? I have been obsessed with the last run of Revisionist History episodes about the firebombing of Tokyo. I love his style in general, but I also like they are fairly bite sized while managing to get across how important the story is.

Deep cover has been pretty entertaining so far. It's about an fbi agent who went undercover in a biker gang. A lot of the stuff you expect, but they also go out of their way to show another angle (family).

What Had Happened Was has been fantastic so far, it’s interviews with Prince Paul that cover his history as one of the most creative producers in hip hop. You’d know him from classic De La Soul, Gravediggaz, Chris Rock albums, and plenty more. He’s funny, humble, and has lots of gems about some crazy experiences. The host is a good interviewer, and a huge fan, which makes for a fun listen. https://starburns.audio/podcasts/what-had-happened-was/

I mean to be fair My Favorite Murder is more to blame for the suburban 'I don't answer the door for anyone there are too many crazy people who should just be locked up forever' kinda true crime freaks, Sword and Scale is to blame for the 'we should just execute everyone accused of a crime, also crazy people are scary', it's two different forms of freaks that both have cultivated carefully
