China History Podcast: pretty fun listen, gets into the weeds of history, single host so minimal tangents. Host is what you’d probably call a china watcher so he sometimes ropes in stories about when he was at X Y Z place he’s talking about.

Just the Zoo Of Us: a “warm chicken soup” podcast about animals, with expert/researcher guests onboard. Very cozy, informative, sometimes cute.

Accidental Tech Podcast: Apple nerd podcast. Fun listen if you like being up to date on bleeding edge Apple. Tangent prone due to 3 hosts. On the plus side, they use chapters liberally and organize things well so you can skip right to the part where they talk about the new AirPods for 10 minutes then dip after.

Well There’s Your Problem: an engineering disasters podcast with slides, hosted on YouTube. Everyone has strong opinions about this, I don’t bother recommending it to people, but it satisfies my desire for learning and bad jokes. Like carrots mixed with ketchup, a delightful but acquired taste

I don't even like her stuff but don't say this poo poo.

On topic, podcasts are bad, and it isn't surprising when they turn off automatic poo poo turns out a lot less people actually give a poo poo.

I was actually not aware this word had transitioned to full slur. Alice is a transwoman who is also a goon, and the origination of that word literally came from this forum as a way for trans goons to identify themselves, iirc. I genuinely didn't know it had made its way out into the wider world as a slur, lol.

Anyway, Alice is actually one of the funnier hosts on the show and its probably because she grew up in Scotland and may have actually encountered actual poor people once or twice before unlike the rest of them who literally scoff about their esoteric tastes in wine and food. Its funny they made a song which featured 'Islington Leftists' as king of an insult when they're absolutely a squad of annoying Islington Leftists.

At least the Brooklyn Leftist Podcast scene (i.e. all leftist podcasts which are actually worth listening too, all of whom are also goons), don't expose an obvious upper-crust affect(except for Liz who is working hard to rehabilitate her vocal fry, god bless her), hell Matt Christmas (RIP to a real one), is an honest to god Minnesota drunkard.

It definitely hasn't become a slur in the wider world. I think it just started getting used in a derogatory way here. Possible during the whole fyad vs GRS/TMR thing? And probably trans people on the forums here got tired of it.


Anyways I also listen to WTYP and am like 99% sure Alice has called herself this several times, so Ape Fist didn't mean anything bad by it.

Its fine, I ate a 6 hour probe over it but I think the mod probably knew I wasn't using it in that frame of reference but you've gotta be safe. WTYP is actually a REALLY GOOD podcast I should listen to it more often.

And don't say you won't listen to something that long, I know you're all here because you like your rambling 3 hour podcast episodes.

I've been called it many times in other places, it most definitely has become a slur in the wider world and especially from 4chan style Qanon fucks. To the point that when I and others I know see it they assume right wing nutjob, not some Something Awful in joke.

Again, I've had it levied against myself and others, in many places, it's not nice. Just don't use it.

My favorite podcasts are the leftest ones which are always done by middle-class white people who clearly know what is wrong with the world and how to fix it through nonstop irony that's always funny and never goes overboard into cringeworthy. Make sure to donate to our patreon so we can tour the country on your dime and do some completely necessary live shows! Lol isn't that funny we're just like capitalists, we just want number to go up! Haha, how ironic, no but seriously keep giving us your money our patreon hasn't been growing enough.

YouTube podcasts are loving baffling. When someone tells me about a podcast and they send me to a YouTube channel... for an audio medium... what the christ no.

And even worse, sometimes the YouTube podcasts have like, random videos playing that actually have nothing at all to do with the content?

You can safely skip the first 20 or so podcasts in a series because the host is recording in their bathroom with their phone and 90% of what they say is indecipherable. Then you can listen to, at most, 10 episodes where they bought decent equipment but don’t have obnoxious ads. Then they go deep into debt from their $5,000 microphone purchase and have to join a podcast network and hawk Balldos. Use Promocode OWMYBALLS2024 for a 5% discount!

this code isn't working, you sure it's the right one?

The No Such Thing as a Fish live podcasts are pretty good. In that they're almost identical to the non-live episodes.

Oh, but --- unnecessary, yeah I see what you mean.

I once drove a distance to see a live We Hate Movies podcast recording. Walked away thinking, that was neat but kind of pointless. I didn't hang out with them or anything. They didn't invite me on stage. My girlfriend thought one of them was real cute* (obv ex girlfriend now)

I wanna swing at it with a baseball bat. If I did I don't think there would be blood and teeth flying everywhere - it would be circuitry, sparks and wiring.
