Converse, make suggestions, get recommendations about all things podcast here.

I spend 4-6 hours a day on average listening to podcasts. They're where I get most of my news and entertainment - true crime pods are a huge guilty pleasure but I also listen to a fair amount of science, psychology, history, and talk shows.

Over the past several days I've been listening to The Dropout- a docuseries about the rise and fall of Elizabeth Holmes/Theranos. Similar vibe to Dr. Death, but with a smaller body count.

Anyone up to speed with the Sword and Scale vs. Wondry drama? Do you SSDGM? Do you only listen to the NPR shows? Discuss.

That was definitely racist af

“I went into planet of the apes”

and also so everybody was black there?

whoopdee s hit.

I’ve heard other white people say that. Like being the only white person is some kind of big experience.

Favorite podcast by far: Philosophize This

I've never like Joe Rogan. The most masturbatory of all hosts. Philosophize This seems right up my alley, I'll check it out.

All he did was say how great an experience he had with black people. How cool it was to have his picture taken by someone who recognize him. IDK what is racist by that. But the part were he was making fun of Laemmle and white people and their taste in movies. Yeah, that is borderline racist. Paint the white man as having an uncontrollable penchant for terrible movies like some addict jonsing for his next fix, why don't you Joe Rogen.

I listen to podcasts more than I listen to music, honestly. I love My Brother My Brother and Me, and basically every other podcast that the boys from MBMBAM do... they're ****ing hilarious, and generally good people who care about others, which is nice. They have a DnD podcast they do with their dad, and all three have podcast they do with their wives on various topics (the history of medical practices, the history of manners, and one that's literally just about the things and ideas that the hosts are enjoying most recently).

My weirdest favorite podcast is The Empty Bowl. It's a "meditation podcast about cereal" that mixes slow, calm conversations about the cereal industry with long pauses of silence and ocean sounds. It's bizarre, but lovely, and something I often return to when the anxiety is most rough, or when I'm trying to sleep.

There's also The Weeds and Fivethirtyeight, which are both recent events/politics podcasts that my wife turned me onto. Though I don't often agree with the perspectives, I find that they do a good job presenting current issues clearly.
