I found a new podcast I've really been enjoying. https://darknetdiaries.com Every episode is a different story about computer security/hacks/leaks/pen testing, etc. I found it to be a lot like the stories in Kevin Mitnick's books. I'm not super computer savvy myself, so this might be quite basic for those in the know, but it's approachable for the regular Joe. I find the show quite entertaining and informative. The host just recently quit his day job to pursue this full time. I'm guessing he could use more listeners, so why not check it out?

~Coxy posted:I'm going to put in a thumbs-down and say it's overproduced. I seem to remember at least one episode that tells some stories from the perspective of the people investigating, and stopping an intrusion. But, mostly it's just telling stories. I understand if the show's not for you. I honestly have no idea how much may or may not be BS, as I have zero experience in any of these fields. Maybe that's why I dig it?

Have you considered shilling matresses, or one of those cook your own delivery food services? Seems to be all the rage these days.

evilpicard posted:For fans of longform journalism a new podcast drops next week called Thunder Bay. Canada's own Podcast Emperor Jesse Brown sent a reporter to an isolated Northern Ontario city for a year to investigate corruption, racism, and maybe murder? They're doing a hell of a job with this one. It's pretty heavy and full of moments that make me think, "wtf is wrong with these people!?"

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.

Snowy posted: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.

Oh hey that was me! Glad people are enjoying it. I love hearing security stories, and it kind of had a feel like the books Kevin Mitnick wrote. Fits in nicely with defcon pen-tester talks. The only little quibble I have is a lot of the time, the tone of his voice sounds almost like he's pleading with or begging the listener, even though the content of what he's saying isn't pleading. Very minor issue though. Having read 3 of Darkpriest's A/T threads about working in the porn biz, I listened to the recommended "Last days of August" and They were well made podcasts, but they sure aren't very uplifting.

Since apparently every comedian now has a podcast, I'd like to draw some attention to Gettin' Better with Ron Funches. In today's hellworld of negativity, he's a bright light of positivity and good vibes. I also think he's pretty funny, and seems like a cool guy with a good attitude. It's a nice pallette cleanser for when the world's got you down.

I gave a quick listen to the something awful episode of the podcast called report this post, and I have to say it's disappointing. They do a bit of an overview of the site and forum history, and highlight some of the sagas we've seen here. The biggeat problems I have with it is the hosts claim to understand FYAD, and they had no mention of puckins. Edit: I only mentioned it because I found the podcast through a banner ad here.

Spikey Willow posted:Chris Hardwick? He gets amazing guests all the time on his podcast (ID10T, used to be Nerdist) but man do I find him annoying. On one hand, he has these great guests and gets them to really open up about all sorts of topics. The relaxed atsomphere is great. But then he won't shut up himself. I get that it's a conversation so he has to talk too, but he spends so much of it trying to impress his guest through pseudo-intellectual bullshit or making dumb jokes; it's a real struggle to listen to sometimes. Imagined posted:Right? Chris Hardwick talks more about himself than Marc Maron, like he's on par with whatever actually interesting person he's talking to, as if they're colleagues or peers. At least Maron actually is a peer and talented and accomplished in his own right.

Is there a thread for talking about Lions Led By Donkeys? The latest episode was something. https://twitter.com/lions_by/status/1330928255877038080 Joe Kassabian has real strong GiP energy. It wouldn't surprise me if he's from 'round these parts.

mrfart posted:I've been going back in the archives of Lions led by Donkeys and was surprised that they have an episode on kevin patrick dawes, who was at former goon who got kicked off SA (I'm sure some of you know more about this), and ended up going to Libya and the Syria. Oh wow, is that caro? As far as I can recall, he was perma'd for being dead, but that got overturned when he was released from Syria. I might be waaay off in my memories though. Thanks for highlighting this, I'm a frequent listener, but didn't notice that episode. I'd like to give that a listen.

Chadzok posted:I've got literal hours daily of chores to do and I keep running out of podcasts. Here is what I like, tell me if you think there's anything else I could be listening to. I've separated these into general categories, I've exhausted the entire catalogue of most of the ones I've mentioned. Lions led by Donkeys is a bit more friends chatting about military history What a Hell of a Way to Die treads similar, but more recent ground in a similar format.

I've been enjoying the dark money files . It's by a couple veteran banking consultants for a general audience talking a lot about shady banks doing business with dodgy clients, moving highly suspicious money around. Money laundering, risk management, know your client type stuff.

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.

Fall of civilizations is another great one. And another history cast to recommend called "We're not so different" where one of the hosts shares a bunch of knowledge about the middle ages, and how we are still just as dumb / they were not as dumb as we think they were.

Violet_Sky posted:Not American, but this podcast about a Residential School in Canada is full of hosed up poo poo that happened to Indigenous children. important bit of additional information. Nobody should make the mistake of thinking these horrors were confined to the 60s and 70s. The last residential school closed in the 1990's.

I have always been fond of gunfondler42069's ad transitions just giving no shits " you know who probably won't set a new high bar for awful behavior, like the topic of our show? The products and services that pay for us! Ads!"

Green Wing posted:About four years ago I stopped learning things and I'd like to restart. I'm looking for podcasts that have an academic rather than entertainment feel, but don't know where to begin. History seems to be a good subject to start with - I take very long walks every day and want to do something with my brain while I'm doing this. Fall of civilizations podcast is excellent. After a while the episodes get video to go along with it on YouTube. And I'd recommend checking out "We're not so different"

Pobrecito posted:Going on a cross-country road trip with my boomer dad. The only podcasts I've ever really been into are Mike Duncan's Revolutions/History of Rome and the Blowback podcast and I enjoyed those. I've got Hardcore History on my list, but I'm looking to get some others for variety. I think my dad would like some history/sports (baseball & football) stuff, but I'm also open to other subjects that a mid-sixties guy might be into. Sorry I'm so late with this, but I heartily recommend Fall of Civilizations podcast. There are nice youtube videos to go along with it, but they aren't necessary

Azathoth posted:That was an extremely lovely thing to do and that anyone there thought it was a good idea is mind boggling. That alone is reason to never engage with the content they generate ever again. Is this, perhaps, a more "honest" form of stealing from George? Other comics might just tell his jokes, and try to pass them off as their own. There's no attempt to launder this as anything but a straight up rip off that I'm aware of. Awful behavior in any case.

Azathoth posted:Now they're claiming that Sasso's partner on the podcast wrote it and that AI doesn't write anything. Carlin's estate has basically said that they don't know what to believe so they're gonna depose everyone involved and figure it out. Agreed. Don't steal someone's likeness. It's creepy.
