100 HOGS AGREE posted:My favorite podcast right now, since I have barely heard any of the show is Snap Judgement NPR's storytelling hour with a beat. I was excited when this show first arrived on KOBP (my local NPR station,) but quickly tired of Washington's needlessly theatrical speaking style. I love plenty of the stories--even the hosts', when he's storytelling instead of hosting--I just wish we could listen to it without Glynn.

Myrmidongs posted:Have you tried Wait Wait... Don't tell me? It's fairly US-centric but incredibly entertaining, and if you don't like a panel member, thats ok because they rotate around fairly often. Hold on a mufuckin minute and think here. Wait wait don't tell me is yearning toward humor and some barely achieving it, while inching away from relevance. This is what we turn off our radios for. This is what we download podcasts to avoid.

Wasn't there a Radiolab thread around here somewhere, or do I need to start one?

AstroWhale posted:Any recommendations for an interview podcast? Fresh Air and The Treatment are great. Terry Gross and Elvis Mitchell are two of the best interviewers around. What's the German podcast called? I'd like to listen for the sake of language practice.

AstroWhale posted:Thanks for the answer. Danke. rotinaj posted:Are there any good science podcasts or iTunes U series' about chemistry and organic chemistry like when Walt gets going on chemistry in Breaking Bad? I don't have an answer but you reminded me of something. If you're interested in the drugs aspect of the show, check out an itunes U class from UC Berkeley. It was a psych class, I don't remember the number, called Drugs and Behavior with Prof David Presti, if I remember right. There's a little bit of chemistry in there, but not much. When I was interested in the subject I thought that class was great.

I don't think there is a better way to learn a language than watching Kid's Tv shows. Also you will learn something.

No no serious posted:Does anyone know of any non-talking, non-musical podcasts? There was one I listened to years ago where someone would just record foreign city sounds while walking around (although for the life of me I can't find it now). Something along that line, real or made up, ambient soundscapes I guess you'd call it. You'd definitely have success if you were looking for records instead. I have lots of novelty records that fit these criteria and I never even set out to find them. I just picked them up here and there because they were weird and never cost more than a dollar. Do you have a turntable with an arm that auto-returns?

The vote threshold in this forum is now 5.Y Kant Ozma Post posted:Honestly the vote threshold for RGD didn't need to be that high anyway, I dropped it to 5. It's not going to reflect immediately and doesn't appear until after a thread has been voted on even if it exceeds the threshold now, if that makes any sense.

I'm looking for recommendations on podcasts that feature unstructured, informal, smart discussion. Roderick on the Line is my favorite podcast. My favorite parts of ROTL are the riffs on ancient Greece, or the geography of the Caucuses, or the personal lives of kings and presidents, or light philosophy. I'd like to listen to more stuff like that. But the podcasts that go for this kind of academic material in a straightforward way sound like principal Skinner presenting the topic of the day. Stuff to Blow your Mind, for example, is dull as poo poo. And Philosophy Talk for another is really good at squeezing the joy out of interesting topics, mostly out of a misguided attempt to be fair to all parties. Any ideas?

Are there any good podcasts about urban design / city planning? I like the stuff 99% invisible has done on this topic.

En Fuego posted:How do you guys feel about trying to get money for a podcast via Kickstarter? I have a couple of friends who are coming back to podcasting, having done nearly 100 episodes, and they're asking for money. Kickstarter is great for this kind of thing because it's a model for supporting things rather than buying them. For example, Roderick is my favorite podcast and one of my favorite things. I would probably give them $150 for a promise to keep podcasting and like a two-sentence personal postcard. But if they charged $10/year to listen, I would tell them to gently caress themselves. Radiolab and the like I would feel different about because they have high production value/costs. (Bandwidth costs are irrelevant because it's your own fault if you can't figure out how to distribute very small audio files for cheap in 2013.)

Speaking of history, can somebody recommend me a podcast about the period of roughly 1903-1935 that's not a history podcast? Kind of a pop-culture thing. The trends of the era are really interesting but are often overlooked because of all the actual Important poo poo that was happening.
