No you don't need to know anything. My cohost never has, I read most of them decades ago. We go through in small chunks, a few chapters at a time. It's not our first show, so it's safe to start at the beginning, we were already pretty seasoned. Plus Shadows of the Empire is the richest vein of hot nonsense so far.

Brocktoon posted:I wanted to check out Talking Simpson’s since I have heard good things, but I noticed the more recent episodes are 2+ hours long, which is a lot to keep up with for a weekly podcast. Do they actually have that much to say about a single episode of The Simpsons or is it a lot of tangents? It's mostly pretty focused but on some of the less notable Simpsons episodes they can drift and it feels like they could have used an editor. Also they can sometimes get bogged down in over explaining jokes (e.g. "I love that Homer says he just has to put his shoes on but he's in his underwear playing with slot cars! He had to do way more than just put his shoes on! He's not even wearing pants or a shirt or...") They do know their stuff though and have plenty of relavent and interesting thing to say about every episode. Having said that, I generally enjoy the show and hope I'm not being too mean because one (or more?) of the hosts are on SA. So some episodes are better than others, I'd recommend starting with some of the classic Simpsons episodes.

I like that show but I kind of don't dig Chris Antista on podcasts. I feel like of all the regulars on any of his shows, he knows the least about... anything... but he's got the Radio DJ Voice who HASTOKEEPEVERYTHINGHIGHENERGYANDMOVINGALONG but mostly means he talks over the others who actually know their poo poo. He's like the Leo Laporte of geek podcasts.

This is just general bitching. Please feel free to ignore. Over the last 2 years I did a podcast with a friend discussing the British Comedy Series Peep Show. I just discovered that shortly after we finished our podcast that someone else (who after talking to them loving listened to our show) decided to do their own version of it. Their logo is exactly like our logo, their talking points are almost the exact same, and while we are not direct competition since we are talking about different shows now, it still kind of loving pisses me off. Plus they are active on our shows twitter account so I feel like they are aping their audience based off the work my friend and I did. I don't want to be petty about it, but gently caress it pisses me off. Thank you and feel free to ignore this post.

On an other topic, what do you guys will happen to gimlet now that spotify bought them? Are they're gonna make their shows only available on spotify or what? They really have some of the best shows, so I hope they don't gently caress anything up.

I can't see them going Spotify-exclusive because there's still too much of the market lost by doing that. Could be wrong though...

If I talked about Seinfeld I'm sure my show would sound like any of the other Seinfeld podcasts. It's more the logo I'm annoyed about. Mine is on the right, theirs is on the left

That sucks. Both your logos are cribbed from the prep show logo rather directly.

I think that by making shows spotify-exclusive, gimlet could cut out a lot of their audience. At the very least, spotify could get gimlet shows released before they are released on other podcast platforms.

Sucks about that peep show-show sniping, usually I'd just say that there happens to be many fans of a popular long-running series but if you're interacting with them directly and then seeing exact 1:1 replications of how you structure your show then that really sucks. Podcasts are kind of in the wild west phase right now though, and for better or worse (probably worse) these big media companies coming in might have some sort of regulating effects on the medium. For now, whichever show has the best content will end up winning so just keep being better than them and it'll shake out in the end.

Anything new in true crime lately? Serial S3 lost me when it moved to individual story episodes, Up and Vanished guy seems to have vanished completely up his own rear end, and I've given up on Generation Why since they keep banging the "GUILTY!" drum even in cases with only the flimsiest circumstantial evidence. I'm down to just True Crime Garage on my subscribed list.

I'm down to just True Crime Garage on my subscribed list. As mentioned, Cold is pretty good. Some others: The first isn't brand new, but throwing it out there anyway In the Dark Two seasons, first is about Jacob Wetterling whose abduction sat unsolved for 27 years and could maybe have been solved basically when it happened. The second is about Curtis Flowers who has been put on trial 6 times over 21 years for the same crime. Dr. Death Which is about a spinal surgeon who was basically maiming and paralyzing people and kept doing it. Over and over as no one was able (or willing) to stop him. And one that just started called Over My Dead Body quote:In “Tally,” the first season of OVER MY DEAD BODY, Dan and Wendi are two good-looking attorneys whose wedding is featured in the New York Times. But when this “perfect” couple falls apart, it leads to a bad breakup, a worse divorce, and a murder case involving a menagerie of high-priced lawyers and unexpected co-conspirators.

talking about true crime, why did 'case closed' get any media attention? I read about it in the guardian I think. I listened to the first 4 episodes and I really don't know why. Maybe I'm just tired of the genre. 'conviction' is a great show about the life of an eccentric private detective in the Bronx. But everybody probably already knew about it? In other podcast news, 'the end of the world' is a very nerdy science podcast about, well, the end of the world, and so far I like it.

While not fitting neatly into the true crime box, this latest season of commons, has been focussing on corruption in Canada, and relatedly Thunder Bay is a 5 part investigation into what the hell is going on in the hate crime capital of Canada. I recommend both.

Thunder Bay is well worth listening to but I feel like he didn’t flesh out the story well enough. He did a great job but I don’t understand why he cut it off so short.

Iirc, it may have had to do with difficulties in getting people to talk to him, as well as simply having a tough time grappling with so many big issues. There were likely funding issues, as the entire thing was a crowd funding stretch goal for Canadaland in general. Ryan McMahon spoke about the production process on the Dec3 episode of Canadaland, if you're interested.

Slightly OT from podcasting, but on the subject of wrestling are there any good docs or movies worth catching to learn about the history of WWE? I know there’s a Hogan biopic in the works.

It bills itself as "midwestern gothic" and is about a young woman moving into her estranged mother's boarding house in a small Ohio town that's creepy in all the ways small Ohio towns are, plus a few extra ones. It's from the same production company as Our Fair City, if you're familiar with that show.

Highly recommend The Cryptonaturalist and Victoriocity if you want something that has a nice touch of humor with the weird, Tropical Moon for something warm and surreal, Archive 81 if you want something darker and weird and beautiful, and The Magnus Archives if you want episodic horror, and The Big Loop if you want something for which there is no way to prepare yourself.

Can I ask what the true crime enthusiasts think of the podcast "Undisclosed"? They launched as a rebuttal to Serial, feeling that it wasn't a full dive into Adnan's story. Considering they are his legal defense team, they're biased as hell in his favor, but I felt they made real good arguments. They then moved on to other cases of erroneous convictions, and I liked it for what it was. Did I get duped, or are they legit?
