Broken Harts is a few months old now but I just listened to the whole thing a week or two ago and it's pretty good and definitely hosed up

sweet_jones posted:The one thing I found amusing/not depressing was Lisa Ann coming across like a mafia don and tough-talking the reporters. Of course that would be her role in the porn world A lot of podcast catchers have "trending" sections that will show anything that's picking up traction. I'll go down the list every couple of weeks and see if anything interesting is happening.

I used a Motorola Roadster for a couple of years and it worked pretty well. Clipped it to the passenger seat visor and played it on 88.1; I think I had some interference if I got close to a radio station on that frequency but it never lasted more than a minute or two (and you could easily adjust the station it was broadcasting to if you needed to).

I thought Monster: The Zodiac Killer was a pretty decent true crime podcast. 22 Hours is only three or four episodes in but it seems pretty good as well. Dirty John is a couple years old but it got made into a Dateline episode (as well as a Bravo TV series) so it's probably up her alley.

For what it's worth the two podcasts Dan Taberski has put out since Surviving Richard Simmons (Surviving Y2K and Running From Cops) are both pretty good. Missing Richard Simmons was definitely a little creepy though.

Gripweed posted:This might overlap a bit with the conspiracy theory conversation, but can anyone recommend good spooky podcasts for the upcoming spooky Halloween season? Stuff about ghosts or aliens, or even true crime stuff as long as it's more spooky than sad. Like, spooky disappearances, not sad child murders. Have you tried Lore? I haven't listened in a couple years, but the early episodes were kind of this. I'd recommend finding a topic up the alley (say, the Dyatlov Pass or sightings of a particular cryptid) and searching around to find podcasts that covered it, then use that to figure out what you like. I've had good luck doing that with the Hinterkaifeck murders.

Hit Parade is more artist-focused (or trend-focused) but the music is stuff that charted so you'll probably have heard of it.

Snowmankilla posted:Thanks for this. Any other kind of deep journalism podcasts that do not involve murder specifically? I like Gangster Capitalism, The Dream, Last Days of August, Against the Rules, etc. The Dropout was pretty good if you don't have Theranos fatigue. It's not substantially different from Bad Blood if you've already read the book but it's a pretty decent podcast. (They also did a 60 minute TV documentary for one of the networks that was basically the podcast cut down for time.) e: Believed was also really good if you can stomach Larry Nasser. It's a rough listen at times but very well-done. Embedded from NPR is pretty good as well. I liked Reveal a few years ago but it's fallen off my radar. Ronan Farrow is putting out a podcast companion to his book about reporting on Weinstein, Catch and Kill, that I haven't listened to yet. Gladiator is also really good (Aaron Hernandez ends up dead but 90% of the podcast is about his life). The Impact from Vox was (is?) pretty good. I just finished Gravy Train, which is a really good podcast about Rob Ford, the crack-smoking mayor of Toronto (it mercifully doesn't lean too hard into the HEY HE'S JUST LIKE TRUMP trope). Land of the Giants had a good season about Amazon, but a couple episodes are definitely better than others. Same for What Really Happened, which at its best does some good research into its topics and at its worst is the host just reading off Wikipedia (pick the episodes with topics you're interested in and skip the rest).

GrandpaPants posted:Beyond the repeats thing, I vaguely remember that Reveal was just too soft on the Nazis and trying to paint them as deserving of understanding instead of abject violence. I think even Richard Spencer was interviewed and given a platform to speak about his views, instead of getting repeatedly punched in the face. It was the sort of uncritical position that undermined the rest of the stories, and I don't think it ever recovered from that with me. I'm not sure if it's the same episode but they had an interview with (I think) Roger Stone where they were simultaneously really contentious while also letting him slip in some blatantly untrue statements without challenging him on them. It was a really frustrating experience (the host was clearly frustrated in the interview as well) that added absolutely nothing to the episode. I think that was the last episode I listened to and I don't think I even bothered to finish it.

zgrowler2 posted: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 think Sword & Scale is the only podcast that I ever actually unsubscribed from; I usually just stop downloading something but keep it in my feed in case they cover something I'm interested in. In addition to all the other issues being raised ITT I also got really annoyed by how he's play tens of minutes of 911 tape and interject every sixty to ninety seconds "now this might be too hard for some of you to listen to, but it's really important to hear so we can understand the mindframe of the caller at this time" and then it's just another sixty seconds of dead air or hysterical sobbing. Is Sword & Scale even still really a thing? I thought the guy's Patreon basically did the Lowtax collapse pattern around when he got banned from his own subreddit and I figured he'd just packed it in and moved on to guest spots on the Dick Masterson show or whatever.

Believed was a great crime podcast about Larry Nassar but as someone who can usually sit through most upsetting content and be fine, I remember that and the Juanita Brodderick episode of Slow Burn being the only two podcast episodes I've almost had to turn off for being too visceral to stomach. They're both excellent and tastefully done but they both really drive home the savagery of sexual assault and rape in a way that most podcasts don't. Gladiator was a really good recounting of Aaron Hernandez and Gravy Train was a good Rob Ford podcast; neither one sugarcoats their subject but they also don't *just* chalk everything about Hernandez up to CTE and call Rob Ford a pre-Trump and call it a day. The Dropout is a pretty decent Theranos podcast but if you've consumed some other Theranos media then it's kind of just more of the same now. On the other end of the spectrum, The Thing About Pam is basically a plus-sized episode of Dateline with some pretty good twists.

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.

Ramrod Hotshot posted:Looking for two possible recs. One, I'm looking for a new history podcast. I've listened to all of Mike Duncan's Revolutions and am an avid listener of Radio War Nerd and Age of Napoleon. I try to listen to Blowback but it's really depressing. Any others on the level of these fine programs? About any world history from any period. Not American, and maybe especially East/Southeast/South Asian history because I'm just not that familiar with it. There's a history podcast thread but I'd absolutely recommend one of the thread's favorites, Fall of Civilizations, which is generally not focused on North Atlantic states (the closest it's come are the Norse settlements on Greenland and the Byzantine Empire). Possibly depressing as well but for more existential reasons and less "all of the people who did bad things died comfortably in their beds in their 90s" like Blowback.

Hyrax Attack! posted:Yeah if Books Could Kill feels well intentioned but they’ve run out of interesting material & need an editor. It's the latest iteration of the Michael Hobbes podcast arc. He and a friend start a podcast, it gains a ton of traction with the "wow Michael Hobbes has a new podcast!" crowd, the Patreon starts making an absurd amount of money, the pressure of the podcast starts burning the hosts out, they refuse to spend any of the Patreon money to hire a professional staff to do any of the menial work like editing, then the hosts end up burnt out and the podcast goes on hiatus. Michael moves on to the next podcast and repeats the cycle; the co-host keeps the old podcast brand and tries to keep the magic alive because they need the Patreon money to keep coming. MP is near the end of the cycle, If Books Could Kill is a few steps behind.

You have to scroll back a bit in the feed because it stopped in May 2020 but Tides of History was a pretty good (late) medieval history podcast before it pivoted to covering the ancient world. Starts roughly around the fall of Constantinople and runs through Lepanto.
