I really love Behind the Bastards, It Could Happen Here, and Worst Year Ever. I also listen to Even More News. I'm a fan. I want an episode on the Semblers, Straight Inc., and D.A.R.E., because I think Robert would do the proper research to fully explore the story.

Kagon posted:I’ve really enjoyed your podcast Robert- Behind the Bastards was one of the original ones that got me into podcasts in general. Is there a chance there will be more seasons of It Could Happen Here on other topics? Or just more in-depth talks on specific things like campaigns of destruction on food supplies, general warlording, and other things you saw out in the world, and how you think they could happen in the US?

I’m not saying they need a behind the bastards episode yet, but the pod save guys being on the board of the company that funded shadow, the company that just hosed up the Iowa caucus results seems shady and fucky. Especially since they promoted that company on air without disclosing their ties. Mostly I wanted to bellyache about them.

Bust Rodd posted:I don’t watch TV or listen to the radio. The only media I consume is Hulu/Netflix/Podcasts and as a result I hear advertisements maybe 3-4 times a week at most unless they are playing public ally like the TV at a bar. I have no sense of what ads are playing when or where and I will never, ever go back to commercials. Same. I've been watching some pro rasslin' lately on TNT and seeing commercials is terrible. I forgot the stilted, awkward way that people talk in ads, and being reintroduced to that work is awful. That basketball ad wouldn't be quite so bad for me if I haven't been hearing it all the goddamned time, sometimes twice in a row. That's the one that really gets me. Hearing it repeat was confusing as hell.

GunFondler42069 posted:People make logical leaps about me that are real interesting. The most recent one I encountered was somebody in the subreddit claiming I'd never cover Jeff Bezos because iHeart/ClearChannel wouldn't let me. They said it with such certainty as if there's not a live episode that includes me urging a crowd of human beings to buy bolt cutters and break into Bezos's house. What is your connection to ClearChannel/iHeart, if you don’t mind the question? Does your podcast/the rest of the podcasts on the network have much in the way of oversight by them? How strict are things behind the scenes? Is it still sort of a Wild West type thing, or more controlled?

Bust Rodd posted:Not gonna lie, I don’t think I could stomach a podcast that was just “here’s the most hosed up stuff the cops ever did” because just headlines from Philly alone would make you cry. It looks like it’s going to be a generalized history of policing, and will likely take pit stops in especially lovely time periods, like the dollop series on the LAPD. I expect some early police follies, then a bunch of stuff on policing becoming more regimented and figured out and lovely. Hopefully some nice dives into how bad and lovely various types of CSI science have been, like blood spatter and hair testing being based on little scientific validity.

Chairman Capone posted:Any hypothetical "Bastards of SA" episode could be lightened by mentioning some of the less bastardy and more merely assholery things the site is responsible for, like sending Pitbull to Alaska or getting Smash Mouth to eat two dozen eggs cooked by Guy Fieri. More like getting a hapless nerd to eat one single egg while Smash Mouth pranced around the stage like a jackass Smash mouth didn’t eat the eggs

Bored As gently caress posted:It limits collateral damage. It's actually a really good invention, and it would've been great if we'd had it 20 years ago, because a lot of innocent people - men, women, children - would still be alive today if we had it then. Does it at all work or does it just hit the ground and fill the air with shrapnel Because if it actually works the way they claim, cool, though I personally would just flick the right control stick towards the incoming attack and parry it, then use my slow motion attack to cut it into pieces like a robosamurai

I am always down for ads for new podcasts. Sure, a lot of the podcasts don't live up to good ads, like anything that Parcast puts out, but I am always on the hunt for new ones. I wish there were a way I could just tell the ad companies I'll take whatever podcast ads they've got.

Nixon or Reagan would be good qualifiers because they kicked his poo poo off. probably one of the proto nazis or hitler himself. maybe mao once he started become way more of an open monster. rand would be good but she indirectly gave me bioshock 1 and her poo poo is mostly mocked now even by chuds. other loopered folks would be john wilks booth, charles guitue and maybe lee Harvey Oswald. Goldwater still was the one to lay the groundwork for Nixon’s southern strategy. Dude was pretty important to how poo poo got lovely, imo. That’s why I said he wasn’t number one with a bullet.

I especially like two results of the ad breaks in this podcast: 1, the bumper music plays, then immediately plays the "back from break" music 2, it goes to an ad for one of Roberts own other podcasts or that therapy service but it still sounds like Robert is just telling me about his opinion on something

I will say that it feels like the kind of story that deserves time to have investigative journalism and investigative policing take a swing at unravelling all the tangles, before someone properly tells the story.

I've never encountered the guy in real life or had an actual conversation with him, so I'm making clear what I'm basing my judgement on and what gaps there are in my observations HashtagGirlboss posted:yeah, I went back and forth with whether or not to bring it up in that thread because I'm not really interested in stirring up drama, but at the same time I am curious if other people notice just how monumentally self important the guy is I've noticed how monumentally selfimportant you seem to be, when you decided in CSPAM to come gently caress with us for daring to like his podcast

HashtagGirlboss posted:I’m intensely disinterested in cross forum drama and if I was looking to rile people up I would have been far less careful with how I phrased things. I’m interested in the media personality this thread is about and a thing he said and how it plays into my observations over time consuming the media he produces. So chill with the victim narrative please and engage or ignore me You came in here already having your mind made up and already having an axe to grind about the dude, having freshly come from a conversation wherein we are referring to as "sycophants" What exactly do you want other than for Robert himself to weigh in, or for us to say "You sound like a person who did stuff during the protests. You are very interesting. Here is a cookie."? Armchair psychoanalysis of a person you have a parasocial relationship is bullshit, so analyzing what exactly drives Robert to go do journalism would be an exercise in jerking off. You sound like you did interesting things during the protests. Very cool. But gently caress off with this innocent routine.

AceOfFlames posted:It’s always weird to hear complaints about the ads as someone listening from outside the US because all the ads I get are for other iHeart shows. I never get any of those sweet products and services* Robert wants me to have. Not even the Raytheon Knife Missile. Same, actually. I don’t know if it’s that I have turned off targeted ads, but I basically only get podcasts, typically other iheart or Robert-adjacent podcasts. I only listened to an episode of two of blowback and was liking it, but anytime I’ve tried listening to chapo stuff, it just becomes this wall of irony and jokes that can read as straight faced and it just gets exhausting. As does engaging with chapo fans. I’ll go back and listen to more of Blowback, especially as I get into my workweek next week. Thanks for the recs to keep going, y’all.

Bust Rodd posted:I would challenge anyone ITT who uses “irony” to try and explain away what you don’t like about certain podcasts to actually explain what you think that word means or how it applies. Ok, forget the dreaded i-word, and whatever this strawman argument of me not being progressive enough to appreciate Chapo, or whatever. I'll just reiterate this point rotinaj posted:it just gets exhausting. As does engaging with chapo fans. I don't begrudge the Chapo guys their viewpoints, and typically agree with them. But it always seems like anytime I try to listen to Chapo episodes, or chat about Chapo with other people, it winds up like this. I'm not even saying that I am mad the podcast exists or anything, but even casually dipping into Chapo, it seems, requires me to write a three paragraph essay explaining the usage of Irony in Leftist Comedy or whatever the gently caress this is.
