I suspect the host is less concerned about promoting mental health, and more about raising awareness that he knows comedians.

as someone who loves classical music I'm into any outlet for that kind of music discussion that doesn't sneer smugly at other mediums and instead, say, will talk about how Williams took major inspiration from the greats. Which is probably why, ya know, he was so good at getting emotion and all from his scores.

hell yea Jaws is good.

So are there any non-insufferable food/cooking podcasts out there? Admittedly I've only listened to a couple but they were all really dull 'foodie' bullshit that focused mainly on jerking off current trends and one upping each other on recent dining experiences.

chapo is about harassing women between your shifts at the racism factory.

But no for real it's a really good leftist podcast where a small group of socialists talk about politics while also being huge nerd failsons who can't avoid making weird twitter references and poo poo too. They make fun of the alt right but they treat it exactly how it should be treated, 'these guys are stupid, we're not going to give them the thrill of making them sound powerful, instead we're going to talk about their root issues like white supremacy in general'. They focus their dunkings on the more ~respectable~ figures like the kind of losers that get hired by the new york times to do op-eds or absolute luntatics like Rod Dreher who have been around way longer than 'egg shaped simpleton weeps openly about the jews ruining call of duty'.

I'm extremely into this conspiracy theory of 'the people doing podcasts actively choose to live in some of america's most populous cities with tons of resources for artists to encourage people at a young age out of a disdain for the proles' getting blended with the classic libertarian 'if at any time you have any problems with your city you need to pack up and move to dirtfuck nowhere because that's a thing everyone can do because it's cheap right'

I've been listening to Laser Time for a little while now, and though I am amused by the hosts and the subject matter from time to time, every time I finish an episode, I'm like "...Was that it? This is 'Member This?: The Podcast."

Is that seriously all there is with these guys? All of their podcasts seem to be "Hey here's a thing from the '90s or early 2000s. Remember this?" Is there a main podcast they do that I've not noticed, or a website, or are they really just Nostalgia: Audio Version?

Laser Time's brand is pretty much that yea. Entertaining and fun people just kinda going through nostalgia

friend of mine recommended "the higherside chats" any thoughts?

it's good as hell if you want actual true believers talking about this poo poo. It's a very Coast to Coast kinda vibe.

Speaking of, the fact that there aren't a ton of Coast to Coast style podcasts is a failing of the internet, where are the conspiracy/paranormal podcasts for the actual people who believe this poo poo not just historical looks? Are those people still on message boards because they assume the jews run the podcast empire too? I've only found like three that were actually decent quality uploads, which I guess is very on brand for these people to be fair.

Yea I guess my problem is mainly that I listen to most of those already and just want more. Stupid jerks not constantly making new podcasts tailored to me :argh:

But yea as far as true believer stuff MU, Our Strange Skies, and Beyond Belief are probably the closest to that nolstalgic lovely radio show feel without going full crazy. Into the Fray is also good for that.

If you want full crazy, The Conspiracy Show is literally just an AM radio conspiracy program uploaded in full and it's just beautiful. Like so many actual conspiracy people though the host is basically just full on CHUD at this point so the newer episodes aren't worth it most times.

Cryptonaut, Astonishing Legends, and Not Alone are pretty great for the more traditional podcasty kinda dynamics, and Monsters Among Us kinda straddles the line with a host taking in cryptid/ufo encounters from listeners and sharing them.

I have What If on my list but need to finally get around to listening there, any especially good episodes to hop on?

I just finished listening to Believed, from Michigan Public Radio. Can’t recommend highly enough! It’s about the Larry Nassar case, so the subject matter is incredibly upsetting, but it’s handled sensitively and it’s absolutely fascinating to see how he got away with it for so long. It feels important. Plus some really A+ midwestern accents!

yea if you want to hear an excellent, very compassionate, dive into deeply upsetting material Believed is great, and does indeed feature some just primo midwest accents and I know as a southerner I live in the most glass house possible but come on.

(It's a real good look though, obvious huge content warnings for the whole 'this is a detailed look at a pattern of sexual abuse that was basically just allowed to destroy young woman for years' thing)

I only listened to one ep. the one with Eli yudin from what a time pod. It’s sounds pretty funny, but maybe it gets old fast? It’s people telling about the time they shat themselves:D or at least almost.

it's entirely hinged on how funny you find the core idea. Do you wanna hear funny people tell a deeply embarrassing story and riff off each other? I do, and I love it.

According to the Wikipedia

In October 2001, Poundstone was charged with felony child endangerment in connection with driving while intoxicated with children in the car. She was also charged with three counts of lewd acts upon a girl younger than 14.[11] She changed her earlier plea of not guilty, and, in exchange, prosecutors dropped three counts of committing lewd acts against a child and added a misdemeanor count of inflicting injury upon a child.[11][12] Poundstone also pleaded no contest to one count of felony child endangerment.[12] She was sentenced to probation and six months in rehabilitation and ordered to perform 200 hours of community service.[12] In 2002, Poundstone talked about her personal responsibility for the events that led to her arrest and the steps she has taken, including a six-month treatment program for alcoholism, but said that she did not commit any lewd acts or child abuse.[12]

Poundstone is asexual[13] and an atheist.[14][15]

I at least appreciate the explanation they gave, and that they're using the money to pay their employees a living wage.

I just really wish that they hadn't picked the company with the worst possible app for podcasts. I mean, they apparently want to be serious about podcasts while their app literally doesn't have a way to notify users of new episodes. I get that it probably isn't a big deal for music, but that's like the only purpose of a podcast app.

yea on one hand it blows, but on the other I kinda can't argue with 'we'd like to pay our people a living wage, we know this kinda sucks but hey, if a non sucky option that allows us to do that comes up we'll look at it'

Yeah, I think I've said before, but eh oh well...it seems like they got into a really bad spot as podcast advertising changed underneath them. They couldn't find an ad network after theirs got bought out by ATT and were essentially presented with the option to either find an exclusive partner or drastically cut back what they're doing.

I'm very glad that, regardless of how lovely the Spotify app is for podcasts, they at least still kept everything free.

yea as annoying as it is they deserve props for taking the least lovely options for the fans and their people, those dumb conspiracy and ghost loving boys are good eggs at least.

Since there's no thread I'll ask here, I'm trying to remember which episodes of What A Time To Be Alive had a couple jokes in them. One was if Steve Brule was any kind of handicapped or just weird, and it ended with them arguing that Steve Brule could legally be executed. The other was about kingdom hearts being too serious and how funny it'd be for them to have Goofy try to stop 9/11.

semi-related but after a recommendation in another thread I checked out Dave and Jeb Aren't Mean and Lifetime Uncorked, they're not really about sitcoms but the first one is about Hallmark movies and the other is...well Lifetime ones, obviously. I haven't really dived much into the Lifetime one but Dave and Jeb Aren't Mean was so good I literally just subscribed to their patreon to get the first like 20 episodes and their other stuff.

Yea COVID's doin some damage to WATTBA, between most news outlets not having as many quirky and weird 'local park covered in snake orgy' or whatever stories and the tech issues of long distance riffing popping up it's kinda rough at times. I still say it's more good than bad but I'd maybe go back to the early stuff first to get a more accurate feel of it.

Ballin Out Super has been another go to 'I need to laugh and think of nothing' podcast, it's three new york comedians who have the typical weeb love/hate relationship with anime talkin Dragon Ball, they went through all of Super and now are doing Z.

I also just got turned on to The Shrieking Shack, I just started watching but it's two Harry Potter fans who, again like many of us, have come to realize how poo poo a lot of HP stuff is rereading the books and having fun laughing at them. They aren't as negative as it sounds, they have some big issues with it now but so far I'm just in their first book stuff and they still seem to enjoy when it's more whimsical and silly magic fun and lament how 'worldbuilding' meant suddenly the stories had to stop that...for reasons....

it was one of those things where the 'trash talk' had a lot of solid proof of terrible behavior but he was mister soft boy nerd so it became a 'but I'VE been around him and he never spent years emotionally abusing ME' and we just kinda forgot it after the people he told to investigate told him he was actually the real victim. She made the classic blunder of being like a couple months too early in sharing her traumatic event before it became the cause celebre in hollywood to pretend to care about.

I mean, I get it, sometimes really great artists have dark sides. Kubrick and Hitchcock were incredibly cruel to their cast (especially women) but produced masterpieces, Polanski is a rapist but his work is forever ingrained in cinematic history regardless, and Chris Hardwick has five shows where he goes 'wow wasn't that pop culture really great?' and comedy specials where he goes "ARE THERE ANY NERDS IN THE AUDIENCE?????" for an hour.
