Thank you all for the suggestions.

By the way, the F-Plus people are pretty much all goons, right? I've been wondering about that. Everything seems to point to it, from the choice of subject matter to their implied political beliefs and the fact that they charge a one-time membership fee of $10 for ballp.it.

They have a shared past with Portal Of Evil, which probably accounts more for those first two aspects, but I know a few have accounts and have even posted in this very thread.

How is the Snow Crash episode? I've listened to a few episodes and heard some references back to Snow Crash, which have made it sound like they misunderstood the book on a basic level.

It's not one of their funnier ones but it's okay.

The only thing wrong with the Patreon episode is the overreactions. Just about everything else in it is solid.

Now the Tumblr one with Sylvia Plath, that thing was a goddamn trainwreck from the moment Kumquat's opener ended, and not in the fun way like Without Adult Supervision. :sigh:

The tumblr ones never really do much for me because those are the ones where it's most obvious that the subjects are just doofus teenagers and as such it comes off as a little mean.

I love the Dozerfleet one though, so I guess I'm a hypocrite.

And if you write off the headmate episode as "mean" because it's about teenagers, do you do the same with School Survival?

It's not that I don't enjoy the tumblr episodes, "deep cliterature" is one of my favorite phrases in F+ history, I just don't enjoy them quite as much and as such don't revisit them as often as I do, say, John Kitchin or Dozerfleet. And yeah, School Survival is in that group, even if it does have the Buff Grandpa.

Also holy poo poo I had no idea the Dozerfleet dude was that old, but given that the college anecdotes are set in the mid-2000s I shouldn't be surprised.

E: and the tumblr ones are hampered by the constant confusion about how the tumblr interface is supposed to work, which is completely warranted but doesn't really translate into entertaining audio.

For some reason, "modern mysticism" bullshit is always funnier than "normal" magick crap. Someone trying to turn science into just a different kind of magic is dumber than something that is more acceptable to chalk up to religious belief, even though it amounts to the same thing.

Edit: Just remembered the Pearl Prophet reference. That's not Heinlein; it's from the classic Van Damme vehicle Cyborg (she's the cyborg of the title). The Heinlein novel you were probably thinking of is Friday.

Did he also write Next Friday and Friday After Next or did they get someone else for those?

SIssykiss was gross but fine. Bugfuckers was hilarious. Plushie lovers was super-tame in comparison to both, mostly because it was a depressing look into the relatively safer minds of man-children.

The inevitable foot fetish episode took longer to get through than any of them but still had laughs in it.

Meanwhile, the one that I have yet to finish for whatever reason is still the Thumbsuckers. I don't even know why! It shouldn't be that gross in comparison to those four but it... just is.
