It's show specific, but if you like Always Sunny, the podcast the creators do is pretty much exactly that. A lot of fun behind the scenes discussion and storytelling, and then they get distracted and start arguing about the best way to park and are razzing each other and you realize their characters are recreating their real life friendships.

It's really, really fun.

Soft White Underbelly gives me really skeevy vibes. Like, misery porn for office workers to watch while slacking off at work. Their stories are important, but I dunno, I wish the interviewer was more "credentialed" for lack of a better word. He's just some guy, and there is no accountability for how he is getting these stories or treating these people.

Hello From the Magic Tavern is a pretty lovely listen. Light improv show where a normal guy interviews fantasy creatures. Very funny and cheers me up instantly.

That was one of the first podcasts I listened to. Stopped years ago and forgot about it. Is it still good? I also just remembered that the same guy has another podcast where he tells riddles to a couple guests, was fun too. The riddles in the beginning are incredibly bad though:)

I don't follow it religiously, but it's consistently nice to listen whenever I dip in and out. Like a nice slice of pizza.

Did they ever stop being fixated on the punchline to drat near every joke being “I have multiple buttholes”?

I am failing to see a problem, here.

Ugh. Do they have the cache to do this?

That's the part I don't understand

Who the gently caress are these guys to pull this kind of grift off, that dude in the thread here seems to like them from one guy's previous work, but I would personally want to be able to listen to a little bit to know if I would like these people's senses of humor and speaking voices

I have issues with voices and mouth sounds, so listening to a dude with the r-to-w speech impediment or a really wet, moist voice drives me up the wall, I had to stop listening to QAnon Anonymous because of that

oh my god how do you people not recognize a meta-joke

A recommendation along the lines of DtG is actually where I first heard of DtG: the I Don't Speak German podcast. They do a similar thing, but with focus on shining a light on fascists rather than gurus. I got the impression they were a tad miffed at DtG as the Harris interview came out not long after the crossover episode with IDSG and IDSG is very anti platforming fascists and the fash-adjacent (of which Harris is), but DtG has an open "right to respond" and a different assessment of who exceeds the bounds of acceptable discourse. IDSG has had low output for the last year, unfortunately, as the hosts have had life get in the way, but their back catalog is absolutely worth a listen.

I was a little disappointed in the first episode. They seem to have lost a little objectivity and have gotten a little lost in the sauce buying into the altrights self mythologizing thanks to all the YouTube watching they do. Richard Spencer always was irrelevant and tiny, relatively speaking, and his momentary blip of relevance died the instant he got an ounce of coverage (which was briefly mentioned but I don't think emphasized enough). It unfortunately reminded me of the contemporary pieces that repeated this line of "this 'highly credentialed' Nazi is well dressed and therefore scary" despite covering an offputting dullard with very little national relevance outside of his (yes, radicalized and disproportionately dangerous to their locality because of lone wolf attacks) low thousands fanbase. Repeating the stupid nazi bile verbatim felt unnecessary too.

Hoping it picks up because cataloguing the views of these freaks is interesting and often funny, and I do generally find the hosts affable. The second episode with David Duke is much better so far, perhaps because thanks to the perspective granted by time he is a stupid blowhard who repeatedly eats poo poo nationally.

False

The instant he got his rear end punched really hard and he did fuckall about it, that is when his blip of relevance died

Fascists cannot look weak and he looked so weak

The opinion of other internet fascists is mostly irrelevant to the mainstream. That's kinda my point about giving too much weight to these guys.

I have to give the podcast credit for mentioning this on the recording: It was his awful speech and nerds giving the Hitler salute that killed any mainstream conservatism flirting with him, he was way too obvious.

stretching "podcast" since they are closer to lectures, but every single one of Premodernist's videos on the medieval period have been awesome.

e. very similar to "we're not so different" but more broad.
