lmao yeah there’s a non-subtle difference between audio content which is rarely over 90 minutes (and is presented in multiple parts when it is) and video content over four hours you’d have to be an absolute rube to believe that actual people would find conflating the two to be in any way persuasive or even cogent

Eh, most of the really long videos are just podcasts that want to monetize through YouTube. At most you're second-screening them or "watching" them in little bits and Youtube is like 75% good at remembering your spot. Not much different than a podcast. That said I haven't touched it, feel like I got the gist of it from seeing people talk about it and lol at a 4 hour video tearing down people that I didn't watch. The main thing that was frustrating with Dave's plagiarism, especially when he was just lifting huge chunks, was that for most of them he probably could have just chucked the writer a few hundred and maybe a shoutout and been fine. Going off of memory but the one guy he lifted a whole article or two from implied he ended up paid and seemed happy enough with the outcome. And he spent so much time complaining about how hard the podcast was to research, and how much time it took and how if only the podcast made X dollars he'd hire somebody and yes the Patreon passed that goal but he still hadn't hired anybody. Last Podcast on the Left does the same thing, but with books usually, and they've had no problem just doing a friendly shoutout to the author at the start of the podcast. At least a few of them have written in laughing about how their dry book diving into Tupac and Biggie just sold a hundred books out of nowhere and they just found out why. It really isn't that hard. Dave threw a huge hissy fit like people wanted "George Washington was the first president[1][2]" when it just needed a shoutout. Nobody's coming because they think Dave's a genius historian or god I hope they aren't.

Hell, LPOTL even usually goes the extra mile and gives a heads up about potential authorial biases or reliability issues when they’re leading in with their sources.

I don't know how you can listen to The Dollop and not assume Dave must be absolutely insufferable in any other format.

I think doomerism might be the like...3 years in the middle of hte trump presidency where dave spent a huge chunk of time on multiple pods talking about how people need to fight because it's over otherwise but also he was tryingto find some way to move out of the country.

Yeah the first time they mentioned that I thought “oh we’re actually going to listen to Gareth’s spirit break” Nobody with power is going to do anything. The idea of trying to share and process climate grief was a good one but it would take the soul of a saint to be the focal point of such an international, perpetual wailing circle.

I mean, I sort of get people complaining about doomers because it's sort of inescapable now. Everyone around me from my therapist to my family to random on the internet keeps telling me "stop reading such depressing news" or "get off social media". Thing is, this is everywhere: whether I am reading news about video games, comedy podcasts, completely unrelated articles, etc, everyone will add something like "in our burning world" "in these challenging times", etc. Only recourse I have is to never look at a screen again, which I can't do because I work in software and lol if you think I am going to focus all my hobbies into loving exercise.

I get that, but enforcing false mandatory optimism on everyone isn't a solution either.

I absolutely understand wanting to have entertainment which doesn’t remind you of the poo poo you’re trying to distract yourself from. I just don’t think jokes and riffs about US history are going to consistently be able to deliver that even if one of the hosts isn’t gradually becoming the Podcast Joker because of the inexorable comparisons and relationships between the subject matter and the present, which is authentically bad and absolutely getting worse no matter what anyone posting in this thread can do.

Normally I'm fine with Dave's refusal to figure out how to pronounce names before taping. But Jesus Christ every pained misutterance of Mosaddegh in the Operation Ajax episode was painful.

Just found this on the Dollop subreddit. It's an insanely detailed spreadsheet of every episode with tons of information. Length of episode, subject, location, how many animals die, which accents Gareth does, and much more. Enjoy! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YOs_BkUstKW5fwVqpzZEGVwjvoC6kQ5zlIVqFijSBvc/edit#gid=1557090816

Some good episodes lately. I kind of skipped over the elon musk episodes because frankly by the point I was sick of the guy!! also felt like a lot of episodes were getting bogged down by bits going on just way too long and it feels like they've cut back on that a little?
