Is S-Town season 2 actually about anything? I tried S-Town season 1 and at first it was all like, "oh wow we're gonna unravel a tangled web of crime deep in the heart of this small town" but then turned out to just be a character study of a weird lovely dude. edit: whoops nevermind Gripweed fucked around with this message at 22:35 on Sep 2, 2020 |

Robert’s commentary on what has been happening thus far this year has boiled down to “this is what I was talking about”, in its most simplified form. All it takes is one of these situations to boil over more and it’s what he predicted. He’s done a bunch of reporting on the Portland protest scene in Worst Year Ever. Give it a listen if you want some more.

There’s a season 2? The first one is one of the best podcasts I’ve ever heard, I have no idea what they’d follow it up with.

DogoDogo posted:This is a truly perfect post and I love watching this exact moment unfold for people. Welcome. spoilers for all of s-town: yeah that was just like driving into a brick wall at 100. you get a weird true crime sounding podcast or something- i only clicked it because i like hearing about little towns in the south and love the accent (jimmy being tyler's hypeman was great), then bam. fuckin teared up whenever his friends did. it was great, loved hearing about him, warts and warts and all. i think the last episode was a very bad landing though- going through the mercury stuff, then suddenly the BDSM things out of nowhere- it felt more uncomfortable than anything else in the whole podcast, the way it was talked about and laid out. especially the recording tyler had. maybe that could have gone elsewhere or something. i think the talk with his friend from the phoneline and the a life fulfilled stuff would have been better. any other podcasts just about like... some small out of the way place? the life and history thereof? i sometimes go to the library and look at old record books, read about the coal mining and the people local to me. it's always comfy.

What are some more good podcasts with self-contained, non-serial episodes? I don't like true crime, politics or anything else that reminds me of how poo poo humans are right now. I do like non-fiction and history. But I only listen to podcasts occasionally so I always want ones I can just drop into after missing ten episodes. To make it extra difficult, I do prefer podcasts where they're talking about *something*, not just "here's some funny people in a room being funny". Current favorites: Answer Me This Car Talk reruns The Crate and Crowbar The Flop House How Did This Get Made MBMBaM I Don't Even Own a Television The Bugle 99% Invisible Hardcore History (episodes so far apart they're exceptions to the non-serial rule) Imagined fucked around with this message at 17:05 on Sep 16, 2020 |

Do Go On is pretty good if you like Australian comedians talking about a different subject each episode. It’s pretty loose and chatty and sometimes one or more of them are drunk.

Spectacular Failures is pretty delightful. They look at businesses that have gone belly up and why, sort of the opposite of How I Built This, and the host is pretty witty.

The gimmick is that every episode is the first and only episode of a different podcast. It is three funny guys in a room being funny, but it's like, this week they're all flat earth researchers arguing about what's on the other side, or three monkeys recording a podcast about being monkeys on an iPhone that someone dropped into their enclosure, or three Joe Bidens telling dueling rambling stories about how America used to be.

I've been enjoying Desparate Acts of Capitalism, which is just two friends excitedly telling each other about the Dutch Tulip Craze, or the collapse of Radioshack, or the Fyre Festival, or what happened to Crystal Pepsi, or that time in 1920's Chicago where rival taxi companies were gunning each other down. It's a hoot.

I've been enjoying Very Presidential, a presidential biography podcast from Parcast and Spotify. I was skeptical about another presidential history podcast (most are bad) or another Parcast podcast (I generally find their podcasts to be overly robotic) but it's fantastic. If anything I think it errs to the side of being overly skeptical of some of the subjects, but I've listened to enough fawning podcasts or podcasts that split the difference that it's refreshing. e: it's not going in order so you can pick and choose which episodes to listen to and skip what you want.

Gossip Mongers gave Poppy Hillstead the boot, and it sounds like they weren’t very nice about it. I always liked when she’d go yell the winning gossip out the window to the street below (which she just said was fake the whole time). She has a new show called Poppy Hillstead Has Entered the Chat but I haven’t listened to any of them yet. I also recommend her drawings of the worst penises ever

Not sure if it's in the thread yet but Well There's Your Problem takes a deep dive into a single engineering disaster per episode. Has some of the Trash Future hosts but the pacing is a lot better.

I like both Virgil Texas and Briana Joy Gray but they explicitly made an unexceptional roundtable show in an attempt to make a product that appealed to "normies" for the sake of spreading their platform so there's not much there for anyone already a fan of them.

I had the same reaction, but I think it is worth pointing out that they are doing exactly what they are setting out to do. That is, they are creating a show with leftie politics specifically to appeal to the Pod Save decorumite audience that bounce hard off Chapo and the other popular leftie podcasts. It's not my thing, but it's likely to be something I recommend to certain people I know.

Apparently they gave her the boot through their agents or some such, saying she wasn’t experienced enough. I listened to the first and last episodes of Poppy Hillstead Has Entered the Chat and it’s pretty great. Very unsexy sex chat roleplay.

They got 425 patrons and when things get on the cusp of getting big, that's when this poo poo starts popping off. No one gives a poo poo about beer money, but once it starts to become "this side hustle could be my full time gig", that's when things get nasty.
