Not sure the best thread for this, so trying here. I'm having trouble downloading any podcasts off of Maximum Fun. When I try to download while on 4g, it takes like 2 hours, or will just time out. It seems to work okay on wifi, and non-maxfun shows download fine. Have tried different podcast apps with same result. Any ideas?

I had a problem similar with Podcast Addict that was resolved by clearing out the app cache and then manually deleting everything but the podcast files themselves. Something must have gone wrong with a download and got some bad files stuck. I don't know that it was specific to a particular network, but it seems like a good place to start.

I’ve been enjoying Canceled Too Soon. Two TV critics take a light hearted but well researched look at TV that lasted one season or less, then decide if it were cancelled too soon. I went in expecting them to tear apart bad concept 80s pilots like Cop Rock, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised that they take the concept seriously and give tons of background on each show’s creation, era, and production crew and actors. They don’t take low hanging fruit and call it stupid for an hour, they really discuss episodes and give well considered opinions, and don’t come off as snobbish, meme yelling, or try to offer indefensible weird ideas. I was surprised to hear their opinion that Police Squad! wasn’t cancelled too soon, as they explained how they thought the concept was fantastic for the six episodes we got but would have been impossible to sustain. Or that Adam West’s Lookwell, while an interesting relic, didn’t have good foundations and wasn’t too funny. I don’t agree with them all the time but they argue in good faith. So far my favorite episodes have been on Bucky O’Hare and Police Squad!, and Mann vs Machine is good too. I especially like when they pitch ideas about how shows could have been saved. Highly recommended! Hyrax Attack! fucked around with this message at 15:10 on Nov 7, 2017 |

To save anyone worry, if you can't find it, it's because Canceled only has one L in the podcast title.

One of the reply all guys replies to lowtax tweets so he knows who he is but said it like it was some random tweet he came across :P I think I pointed it out once but I forget the context, but it was a funny interaction. Has any good podcast gone over those weird youtube "kids" videos in depth since those stories started getting popular? It's such a weird thing and I'd like to know more about where they originate from and what youtube has responded with so far.

It would explain why of all the tweets to use about the topic they went with one that only had about 400 likes. Especially when the Krang T Nelson one that kicked the whole thing off also got him suspended from Twitter on top of being really funny. The other half of the episode about Constable Frozen, vore, and being Horny On Main was also really good.

The articles I'd seen about it before that one mostly seemed to posit that the whole thing was a house of cards that was almost entirely people using bots to defraud YouTube of ad revenue and that them being superficially for infants (and especially ESL/international audiences) was more about plausible deniability regarding all the videos being so nonsensical. I don't know if that's better or worse than babies racking up hundreds of millions of legitimate views because their parents are too lazy to use DVDs or even Netflix.

Are there any good music podcasts aside from Song Exploder? I guess this overlaps with internet radio stations a lot but I'm looking for good discussions on news, current and past artists, etc for a wide variety of genres but the few I've found only seem to look at Top 40 charts stuff. I'd especially love discussions on music theory and applying it with examples.

I have stuff like that historical food podcast and Serous Eats and Sporkful/Gastropod and all but I'm kinda curious if there are some good ones less focused on interviews I guess?

I need more horror/generally creepy podcasts, ideally contained stories like The Magnus Archives or Lore, but not ones that rely on jump scares. Oh, Knifepoint is great too but it updates so rarely.

For nonfiction, I'd recommend Pleasing Terrors. It scratches the same itch as lore, but has its own unique voice and storytelling style. For fiction, I'll make a list: A Scottish Podcast - A former DJ seeks to become a paranormal podcaster and encounters the paranormal. Archive 81 - "A podcast about horror, cities, and the subconscious". Limetown - A Serial-style podcast that seeks to figure out what's behind the mysterious disappearance of all the inhabitants of Limetown. Mabel - A podcast about ghosts, family secrets, strange houses, and missed connections. Tanis - Explores the mystery of "Tanis", the last true mystery of the internet age. Sayer - Sci-fi podcast about an AI named Sayer, who speaks directly to the listener. Told in the second person. The Alexandria Archives - A late night radio show from a university where paranormal/weird stuff happens. I'm only a few episodes in, but it's quite good so far. May best be described as the premise of Welcome to Night Vale played absolutely straight. The White Vault - Found footage documentary telling the story of an ill-fated expedition to repair a remote station on Svalbard. Tribulation - On a deserted stretch of highway, a couple stumbles on a faint radio broadcast at the end of the AM dial. What sounds like your average radio sermon reveals itself to be something far more sinister.

That's more behind the scenes stuff than I know about, all I know is what's in my feed.  I loved the first season, thought the second had some good parts and some less good parts, and the third made me go "wait, what?" and not in the good way that a podcast like The Black Tapes is hoping for. Arguably you could end the show with the second season cliffhanger and assume that the world has been destroyed and come away with a reasonably satisfying and complete story. Personally though, I liked the first two seasons enough that I'm willing to grant 'em a mulligan for season three and will be back to see if they can recover for season four. Besides, it's not like it costs me anything but the time to listen to the episodes. e: Assuming there is a season four, that is. jng2058 fucked around with this message at 07:25 on Dec 4, 2017 |

Well it's other PNWS stuff but they started the most absurd Kickstarter I've ever seen for season 2 of Rabbits ($50k for 8 episodes of a goddamn podcast) with literally offensive reward tiers (you didn't get a t-shirt until like $500 or something) and THEN they said they were also gonna start a Patreon in ADDITION to that. Just absolutely absurd.

People called them out on their poo poo in the comments section of the campaign and they were utter douches about the whole thing. Oh and the tiers were $100 for a live video chat (and all the other stuff) but A THOUSAND loving GODDAMN DOLLARS for a shirt. They didn't even get $20k, probably because the reward tiers sucked rear end, the goal was absurd, and they were assholes to anyone who wasn't an utter sycophant.

Tried to listen to an episode of 'film snuff'. It's a nice idea, breaking down supposedly great movies that aren't. But they just lay it on too thick, or maybe it's just the episode I listened to.
