Azathoth posted:Fall of Civilizations is amazing, though only drops a couple episodes a year, if that matter to you. They're all self contained though, so no worries about just subscribing and plowing through the back catalog, then waiting until something unexpected shows up in a few months. This is an excellent one. I really like how in some of the episodes they recite poetry, etc. in the native tongues or music as it was most likely played.

Doesn't Fall of Civilizations also have a YouTube version with pictures and stuff to go along with the audio? I know I've seen a few of them, so if they really do that for every episode I think I'd rather watch it there than podcast form.

I believe he mentions that, yes, though I haven't ever watched them. Given the production quality on the podcast, I can only assume it's quite good as well.

Yep, the video quality is on par with the audio, adding subtly, but not distracting. The video versions come out some time well after the audio ones.

Thanks for the recs. I forgot to include Fall of Civilizations in the list of things I'd tried. It's good, hope there's more soon.

Sir John Feelgood posted:Back in the day I was into Giant Bombcast, GFW Radio, and Idle Thumbs. What video game podcasts are good these days? Castle Superbeast is a podcast done by two of the guys who remained friends after the Super Best Friends youtube channel broke up and is the most similar to Bombcast that I've listened to. It usually runs between 2 and 4 hours in length. Episodes typically start with intro banter, then a discussion about what each of them played or watched, followed by gaming/media news and finishing off with questions from listeners. The latest episode, 121, has indie developer DocSquiddy as a guest and they have a pretty good discussion about Days Gone and the death of Kentaro Miura.

I really enjoyed the Finding Drago podcast and that episode of Reply All with the song and I'm thinking about them a lot. I guess I'm craving satisfying investigations? Serial and S-Town also had these vibes despite vaguer conclusions. So maybe I just like a long form mystery, true crime optional. Anyone have any recs along these lines? Just wanna get lost in something.

VagueRant posted:Finding Desperado is their "season 2" but I think they just renamed their original feed so it'll be the first seven or so eps? Ok I read your post on this one and I checked it out and binged both seasons, what a wild loving ride. I honestly thought it was a satire fake podcast for much of the first season because it was so ridiculous Anyways I recommend both seasons of it, it’s a fun one As for investigative shows not as funny but along the same lines maybe check out: Ballad of billy balls Death on Ice Valley Have you seen this man? The lady vanishes (I particularly like this one and hope they keep the investigation up covid put a wrench in it) The Lighthouse Missing in Alaska Missing on 9/11 Do it ironically fucked around with this message at 04:10 on Jun 15, 2021 |

I find most conspiracy/weird poo poo/cryptozoology podcasts to be either dry, too New York Comedian, or like 2006 era GBS, but Mystery Team Inc, is different. A couple of funny women talk about these things, and unsolved crimes, and have the right balance of incredulity and an open mind.

We’ve got a similar situation going on here in Belgium with a elite military dude stealing rocket launchers and other weapons at the base, boobytrapping his car, then disappearing in the forest. He wrote all sorts of letters threatening virologists. Was seen days before scouting the area of a top virologist (who has been living in hiding for more than a month now). And the extreme right doesn’t want him to be called a terrorist. gently caress, there was even a manifestation to support him.

Anything more like The Silt Verses, I am in Askew or Darkest night? Basically weird takes/horror audio drama. Also love knifepoint horror and I am out of episodes of Pseudopod.

I just finished the 4 part history of napalm on the Revisionist history podcast. Quite interesting to say the least. loving insane might be another way to put it. The whole podcast is pretty good. It’s one of these podcasts I added a long time ago and then never listened to it.

I'm conflicted on Malcolm Gladwell. On the one hand he's an absolutely masterful storyteller with infectious enthusiasm for his interests. On the other hand, he has a proven tendency to paint in overly broad strokes, jump to conclusions, and ignore evidence that contradicts his point. Then there's his latest book which basically uncritically, credulously fellates American military technology and doctrine. But if he sticks to stuff like talking to Jack White about Elvis, he's great.

I think what you're talking about is mostly symptomatic of a higher level issue: his "point" is glib and ted-talky-at-BEST, so even the best storytelling is going to just be tarps thrown over the "well, ackshually" scaffold. I don't think the dude has a soul or is genuinely curious about anything. The enthusiasm is fake.

So after looking at the podcasts I listen to I realized that my genres seem to be 'people recapping things I've already seen' Sex Archie, Ballin' Out Super, Bizare Podcast: Dogs Must Die. And 'Friends bullshitting with each other for an hour' Retsutalk, Chipod Ironicast, Disc Only. Seems to be a running theme here. So, does anyone else have any good recommendations? There're plenty of people doing podcasts but I have no idea how to sort through duplicates of stuff so I'd like some recommendations if possible. Any chance anyone knows about a good one on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D?

If you're willing to go through another round of dragon ball z, you should listen to all systems goku. Jeff Gerstmann and Dan Rychert from giant bomb go through the series as they watch it for the first time. It's very charming to hear their reactions to the insanity of that show

It's OK. Often when I'm listening I think I'd prefer to just hear the expert lecture, but it's good to put on in the background sometimes. A lot of interesting people and disciplines on it.

Just started The Turning: The Sisters Who Left, about the women who left Mother Teresa’s order, the Missionaries of Charity. It’s pretty good so far, if you’re interested in religious/cult abuse.

I'm looking for iZombie and Black Lightning specifically. People going over comic book interpretations of characters sounds kinda interesting.

I'm looking for podcasts like This American Life, Darknet Diaries, and Underunderstood. No particular subject, just slice of life style podcasts, internet mystery, and investigative. I've already burned through Reply All's catalogue, and I tried Hidden Brain which was really interesting but leaned more into white noise that made me a little drowsy. I'm not super interested in in depth modern politics podcasts about the USA, but I'm open to learn about other countries and cultures. I think I've listened to most of the top episodes of the first three podcasts I mentioned too, but there's still hundreds of episodes in that backlog so I'll take specific episodes of those too.

Any good video game music podcasts? I'd prefer something that isn't exclusively newer games, that does 8-bit and 16-bit games. If it also includes modern games, that's cool too. I'd like something that analyzes the songs or their composers and history, or the games they're in, but I'd also just like it to recommend me some game soundtracks I might not be aware of.
