How did this get made is a lot of fun for the first few years, then turns into mostly a lazy live show you can turn off halfway through before it gets to audience interaction and dumb bad singing.

repsnake posted:Behind the bastards- pretty sure that Robert had to be a goon back in the day as he's made numerous references to SA that shows a little too much familiarity. He has mentioned being on SA a couple of times. I don't think he was posted here in a long time.

My wife listens to Off Menu with Ed Gamble and James Acaster so I hear it when we're in the car. If there's a good guest on it can be pretty funny and/or interesting.

I listened a bit years ago and yeah I bailed because it got boring, I think they were reviewing an Al Pacino movie. Between that and iffy guest spots on tv & Comedy Bang Bang I was convinced Jason Mantzoukas was annoying until he guested on Doughboys & I realized he’s delightful.

Bandsplain. Ponce I got over the sort of valley girl affectations of the host, I really grew to appreciate how much she researched and I think she's one of the best interviewers I know, at least in the niche of primarily 90s music. The offshoot of that, 24 Question Party People 60 songs that explain the 90s, which ended up having over 100 episodes. So obviously one of my interests is clear, as a 43 year old dude. And then some of the bigger ones, like Conan's podcast and lately Smartless, mainly because you can really hear the genuine friendship between Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes.

The only podcasts I listen to every episode of are UYD and Boonta Vista. Boonta Vista used to be an Australian politics podcast but pivoted to making fun of weird small town news stories in the US and Netherlands and is much funnier for it. Here's a clip about a weird dutch theme park: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7CP4qsvT1o They also do weird alienating improv intros for some reason https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CrH3BsccpUo

Magnus Archives /Protocol Old Gods of Appalachia - this one in particular I can't recommend enough if you like narrative horror. They do a fantastic job of weaving Eldritch horror into the general horror of being exploited like cattle by the railroad and coal industry. Red Valley - solid scifi about cryogenic preservation and the lack of ethics involved

Buddy_Cthulhu posted:Magnus Archives /Protocol I just started on Old Gods and it's a real treat, def recommend. I have Magus in the queue and will add Red Valley. King Falls AM is a fun more cozy paranormal ish radio drama. I hear it falls off eventually but the first half or so so far is very fun and sometimes scary. I like it.

The Album Years - Steven Wilson and Tim Bowness (no-man) babble about music they love and don't love, and occasionally bicker like an old married couple. Lateral with Tom Scott - sort of a quiz show but not really LeVar Burton Reads - LeVar Burton reads to you The Numberphile Podcasts - really smart people talk about poo poo beyond my comprehension, but also sometimes just about their lives. SciShow Tangents - again, sort of a quiz show. I'm about 200 episodes behind and haven't listened in 5 months but whatever. With Chinese Characteristics - sometimes it's Chinese history, sometimes it's a summary of a batshit insane Chinese epic story that at their current rate will take them 20 years to complete. This is my go-to bedtime podcast because there's no music, no sponsors, no ads. If I fall asleep it won't wake me up again.

I like The F-Plus and its little trans sister podcast Extra Credit. Both are about finding weird internet poo poo and reading it with a rotating cast. There's a dedicated thread for them in RGD. Fun listens and tons of content. I'm also a fan of The Dogg ZZone 9000, hosted by Cracked writers Robert Brockway and Seanbaby. They basically find weird cultural relics, whether odd episodes, TV shows, movies, or whatever else and discuss them with various guests from across the internet, including other former Cracked writers. This is a spinoff of their written website, 1-900-HOTDOG. They also have their own sister podcast, Bigfeets, which they do along with author Jason Pargin. This one the three analyze every episode of the reality TV series Mountain Monsters, which is basically Finding Bigfoot meets Pro Wrestling, starring random guys that don't really know the rules of improv. It's a weirdly compelling analysis of how bad these guys are at doing improv and setting up narratives, and it's a real joy when watching along with the show, which is also fascinating in its own way.

One of the unintentionally creepiest episodes of a comedy show was Pete Holmes You Made it Weird with guest Harris Wittels from November 2014. Harris was a successful writer especially on Parks & Rec, a hilarious guest on Comedy Bang Bang, & also a big fan of recreational drugs. He related deciding to get into heroin for fun with an amusing story of an initially frustrated attempt to buy in an LA park, then later successfully getting clean in an expensive rehab paid for by NBC. Except then he realized his tolerance had become low so he could get incredibly high if he went back (the host is ultra laid back but this prompted a “Harris no!”) & even his own dealer advised against it. he was dead by OD three months later. It’s unnerving as he’s laying out a horrible series of incredibly avoidable bad decisions & you want the host to yell at him to knock it off.

SilvergunSuperman posted:I miss stitcher, it was handy and worked pretty well. Its demise actually led me down the road of finally getting RSS feeds to work locally in Rhythmbox, which is an incredibly terrible interface and not as good. However, it's a usable aggregate alternative despite its UI. On podcasts I listnin to: universally good Talking Simpsons and its associated What a Cartoon/What a Cartoon Movie. Absolutely stellar, easily my favorite. Get Played and its associated Get Anime'd (formerly how did this get played, rightfully called out on the initial Joey Clift episode but they handled their shame appropriately; Clift also re-guested later on a Garfield Kart episode, so this was a rare racism story with a happy ending). The show is practically its own Eras tour at this point because it goes through an initial foray into bad/weird games every week which is unsustainable long-term, eventually turning into Whatever The Hosts Want To Talk About each week in the video-game and adjacent nerdy realms. HAC/Campbell/Wiger are great hosts and improv veterans. Chapo Trap House I will not be taking questions at this time. QAnon Anonymous; there have been a few where they talk about a situation that exists or coincides with Alabama, where I reside, so that can be difficult to hear but they do good research and have a solid track record. acquired tastes TrueAnon hits more than they miss Software Defined Talk, kind of ok if you like software / development supply chain and the general developer community. I got into it for Cote but stayed for Brandon. somebody mentioned Boonta Vista earlier, which is great even when it was about Australia. waitin' always awaiting new Blowback too.

I'm still using doggcatcher on android, easy to use and has all kinds of good settings under the hood Morph Club is complete but still online in its full form. It's basically an ~80 hour animorphs book club with 2 adorably upbeat hosts and a couple guests here and there. They go through the entire book and tv series including the official offshoots. F plus Extra credit City cast las vegas - mostly local-focused news but could be interesting to outsiders We hate movies

Pocket Casts is the best app. History of English Podcast has been going for like 10 years. Dude started at the dawn of history and is only up to Romeo and Juliet so he's got a long way to go, and each episode is laid out in a way that makes me go "huh, I never thought of it like that." Shmanners is another podcast in this same vein that I enjoy, on the theme of basically just talking about language. I never learned English properly in school despite being born and raised in an English-speaking country. I was never taught proper grammar, much to the horror of my grammar school teaching grandmother when I told her about how the education system failed to do so years after the fact. It was sort of just foisted upon me that I either learn to swim in the common language or drown trying. For the longest time a lot of my teachers saw my battle against the current of 'how to form a coherent and relatable thought on paper' as cute or something, or mistook my treading water as being gifted with some sort of spry energy, when in fact I was *this* close to letting it take me under any time I had to really demonstrate to anyone that I could, in fact, relay my own thoughts and other information comprehensibly. I've had a chip on my shoulder about it for years, and it's for that reason that I'm forever locked in a battle of attempting to grapple with language, and podcasts like those two help immensely. Tim Heidecker's Office Hours Live is one that I've been aware of for like five years at least but never really actually tried to listen to until recently. It's just Tim being a jackass and two of his best friends playing well-timed sound effects and laughing like idiots. It's everything I ever wanted in a podcast and/or radio show, and it more or less fills the Harmontown-shaped hole in my heart from when that podcast ended. Conan Needs a Friend is good, as Conan can do no wrong. Howie Mandel Does Stuff is surprisingly listenable, at least when I know who the guest is. It can sort of be 50/50 for me if I'm not interested in the guest, which isn't necessarily a problem I have with Conan's show or WTF, which I also still listen to regularly. Marc Maron is great. I've been meaning to get into I Don't Speak German, which discusses contemporary far-right shithead politics from a progressive left point of view in a way that isn't just two dudes complaining and talking over each other, but seems to offer a more radical and well-considered action-based and disruptive discourse to think about that I can put into practice in my own life in ways that mean something, but I haven't ponied up a subscription yet so I only listen to the free episodes, which have been few and far between lately. On this same note, Darknet Diaries was a huge discovery for me about two years ago. If I've posted in this thread already (which I may have, I don't remember everything), I probably talked about how much I love Darknet Diaries. Lately the episodes have been slow and unappealing but there's a huge back-catalogue of crazy episodes about pen-testing and social engineering which I get a huge kick out of. On the topic of UFOs, there's a relatively new podcast on the scene with Kids In The Hall's Dave Foley called "Really!?." Aside from being a hilarious dude, he's surprisingly well-versed in ufological lore and comes at it from a level-headed perspective. Another new-ish UFO podcast features George Knapp, who is basically the god-emporer of ufological news reportage, but he's teamed up with Jeremy Corbell, who, as far as anybody can tell, is some trust fund dude-bro from the valley whose primary purpose is to annoy the everloving poo poo out of anybody who happens to have eyes and ears. It doesn't make any sense. And there's Need To Know, which is Ross Coulthart out of Australia, whose Channel 7 reports are some of the best available, but again, he's teamed up with another one of ufology's uber-doofuses in Bryce Zabel. In an ideal world, we'd have a UFO podcast with just Coulthart and Knapp and those other two guys could go pound sand for all I care.
