All the podcasts I follow that do previews are trying to entice people to sign up for their Patreon-exclusive stuff. Never had one do a preview for a free episode

I follow the comic which is done by Jess on FB (Birdstrips), and just found out about their podcast, so listened to their first one, and I quite like it. The first one was basically a set up on how they deal with projects, etc. Not sure where it's going to go from here, but it was a nice discussion: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/art-horse

Rabbit hole from the New York Times is great. It explains the slow sinking of society into the toxic madness of the Internet. Stuff I kinda already knew, but steered clear from in order to maintain my sanity. It’s nice to get a clear overview of it all but it doesn’t leave you with a lot of hope towards the future.

Are there any other groups that have the Super Best Friends setup of "some barely-competent indie schlubs playing games and recording podcasts in a garbage room"? Castle Super Beast is still around but I really enjoyed the dynamic when it was all three/four of them discussing stuff and alternating being hype/baffled by whatever was happening.

I thought that preview episodes referred to podcasts that were connected by a single podcast network and they share episodes with each other to get new listeners.

Are there any podcasts on intrastate conflict journalism out besides Robert Evans' The Women's War / It Could Happen Here and Jake Hanrahan's Popular Front ? I'd also be keen on any deep dives into coalescence of political extremist movements that were either birthed from the internet or helped along by it. Thanks in advance!

The New York Times put out Caliphate which is kind of about on-the-ground ISIS and kind of about internet extremism (specifically re: ISIS). Fall of Civilizations touches on this a bit but the most recently-set episodes are about Easter Island and the Aztecs; if you're not interested about hearing about the internal decline of, say, Han Dynasty China then this might not be up your alley. Inward Empire is doing some episodes about the Diem government in South Vietnam and they've been almost exclusively focused on intra-Vietnamese conflict since the US hasn't really waded into Vietnam at this point.

I forgot about Caliphate! I burned through that one in a workday in 2018 and really enjoyed it. I'm a lapsed history buff in addition to the more polisci-oriented stuff, so I'll definitely be picking both of these up.

I'm looking for a podcast search engine that lets you search by number of podcasters. Or just a list of podcasts with three people and none of them are macelroys

Talking about uplifting podcasts, WATTBA isn't really doing that at the moment. It's been said before, and I don't blame them at all, but they all sound very sleep deprived and the lack of timing due to technical issues make me doze off just listening to it.

It's still good but sometimes feels like they have to wait to talk or one host doesn't add to a bit.

Thirty Twenty Ten rocks the three host format and is actually way better after losing the Talking Simpsons guys because instead of being dominated by male gaming journalism nerds with the same shared interests and backgrounds it's two women with more varied ages and interests bouncing off of the geeky male host. What A Time To Be Alive is also a good three host show, I know it's not at its best right now from the lack of fun weird news stories during COVID-19 plus the hosts having to weather being in NYC and being hit super hard by comedy clubs shutting down and CollegeHumor layoffs, but I still tune in every week and it has a backlog of several years to go through for new listeners. mrfart posted:Talking about uplifting podcasts, WATTBA isn't really doing that at the moment.

Yeah I'm usually pretty lenient on people not editing out every awkward pause or interruption but the recent shows leaving in the long awkward pauses when they're out of sync or when everyone fumbles with someone being dropped and having to be brought up to speed just kills the flow. I already have to put up with enough of that IRL with Zoom calls and the like.

Maybe the smart speed function on overcast is good for that? I haven’t really tested it but that’s what it’s for and is probably really useful these days when people haven’t really figured out their remote recording especially well.

I don't know why Skype hasn't added a mode where all the participants automatically record their audio stream on their end and then sync it to the cloud later. They could even make it cost money.

They could even make it cost money. Yeah considering how many podcasts have multiple episodes that are completely lost because one participants recording hosed up it is something that seems incredibly useful, or at the very least an option to record all the audio and not just your own input. Though for all I know this could exist and just be priced for professional/office use like how most intelligent background noise cancellation software is.

It’s weird because there’s podcasts that have used Skype for years but figured out how to make it sound great. I wouldn’t have thought it was so hard until I hear a bunch of quarantine episodes that sound like poo poo.

I thought that the basic trick was to not record any audio that goes over Skype, and then each person uploads an audio file to whoever is doing the editing and it is synced there. The impression I've been getting is that a lot of podcasters had access to someone else's recoding setup/studio and so never needed to learn about room and mic setup and have been fumbling through it like it's 2015 for the last few months.

Yeah that’s definitely what the pros are doing. Conan was ‘complaining’ on his podcast about all the technical things he has to do before recording. As opposed to a live tv show where he just went on zoom.

My experience with podcasting is everyone logging into a Skype call together, recording their own direct audio input with Audacity, using a centralized clock like time.gov to count down and clap in unison to provide an easy synchronization point, and then after it's over having everyone save and put their raw audio file in Dropbox and sending the link to the host so they can edit them together. It's all completely free and the most technically complex part is using Audacity's built-in noise reduction to get rid of any air conditioner/computer fan/traffic background noise, which makes people who do it professionally having co-hosts that sound like poo poo or talk about recording in their underwear to avoid having the AC on and making noise even more baffling.

What are some good east coast based comedy podcasts? I realized that 99% of what I listen to are LA based comedians so I'm a lot more familiar with them which colors what new podcasts I listen to.

On a positive note, their early catalog still holds up great. It's a bit clunky to download from google drive and get onto a podcast app but worth it.

Do it ironically posted:Did someone here recommend Behind the Police, I can’t remember, either way it’s worth a listen on how the police force in America started and how it has always been tied to racism and keeping people of colour down (or dead) Everything Robert Evans does, from It Could Happen Here to Behind the Bastards to Worst Year Ever to The Women’s War is very listenable. His cohosts on Worst Year Ever are a little less perfect to my likes, one of them being kind of a freak out guy and one of them being a little less left and a little more resistance than I like, but they’re also both good people and legit care about stuff.

Chris Antista (sp) kind of detracts from any podcast he's on for me because he's got such a strong RADIO GUY persona that he steamrollers everyone else in the conversation with his ENERGY and VOLUME even when he's the least knowledgeable person in the room on whatever subject they're talking about. I'm not sure if he's got any professional traditional broadcasting experience or not but he sounds like a radio pro: loud, fast, and confident. Which is nice to listen to sometimes over mumbling, vocal frying amateurs, but God help anyone else who can't match his energy trying to get a word in edgewise on any show he's on.
