I can't get through a single R U Talking About REM episode. Those guys are the worst. Maybe someone will edit the jokes and banter out and just keep the information.The guitarist’s name is Peter Dollar Bill, and the band once appeared on Party Of Five. There, you now have 100% of the informational content.

My friend reco’d the RU-REM2 podcast & I listened to about 10 minutes ... then I tried to skip the bullshit and banter & ffwd myself to the good bits ... and I never found the good bits.

Did you listen to one with a guest on? You'd get to find out when they first heard of R.E.M.

I’d love to hear Scott and Scott do a Radiohead podcast where they never get around to discussing the band and then read the angry iTunes reviews from fans and ilxors

I'm pretty sure at one point they briefly discuss what other bands they could discuss after they are done and the one other band they found that they were both really into at one point was radiohead, so they will probably do that, just probably with an even worse title.

Prof Tad Delay’s new book “Against” on American Evangelical culture brings a lot of Marx, Freud, and Lacan to it and how it lines up with a lot of the real fashy parts of capitalism.
He made a series of short episodes summarizing his book that I think you’ll dig:

Honestly, at this point I'm less bothered by "everyone has a podcast now!" than I am by how every marginally successful podcast has to turn into a "podcast empire" or "podcast network" that churns out 20 hours of content a week and spends 10 minutes per episode shaming fans about the content they are missing by NOT HEARING IT ALL RIGHT NOW.
I mean, kudos to folks like Maron that just keep doing their thing without seeing success as a license to keep expanding.

We just keep it simple and note that we're part of a network (which is very small anyway, and we're glad to be part of it -- helped immensely on the basic publicity/art front alone).

xpost - It's not the idea of networks that turn me off, I think folks like Osiris and other networks are doing really good work in helping to distribute great podcasts. It's more stuff like Earwolf and Maximum Fun that feel increasingly insular and cross-referential that drive me kinda crazy. We can blame Kevin Smith for this one and his whole Smodcast empire, which I think was the first one that was really egregious about this kind of thing.

Google Podcasts currently driving me crazy, podcasts that I know exist are no longer searchable no matter what I try (unless they are suddenly not on Google Podcasts anymore, but still on other services, which I guess is possible). Also recent UI updates have made the most commonly used functions (hitting play on a new episode, mark as played, remove download) either smaller targets or moved to a less accessible drop-down.

unless they are suddenly not on Google Podcasts anymore, but still on other services, which I guess is possiblethe BBC and Radio France pulled their podcasts from Google about a year ago and no doubt others have too. it has to do with Google linking directly to the audio files from search results and bypassing those providers’ own apps.
― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Monday, 17 February 2020 19:26 (four years ago) link
google should just by stitcher, wondery etc and corner the podcast market. i don't think the DOJ would care, those guys haven't even heard of podcasts

I've been enjoying E1 lately, although I find it hard to make it through an entire ep -- the concepts are great but anything conceptual is hard to sustain for that long.

The Cash Kia and classic sports eps were both v good.
i like that the US seems to have lawyers who are knowledgeable AND funny even abt p dark stuff, the uk equivalents are mostly pompous and dreary (also often weirdly wrong): 5-4 and ALAB are both the errant children of the lamented mic dicta, sharing some (very funny) hosts and even some (fake) beef
ALAB tears into bloomberg (much of it abt exorbitant violence at rikers): "this is not a funny episode" https://soundcloud.com/alabpodcast/episode-9-mikes-charnel-house-for-children
5-4 on bush vs gore (e2 on citizens united just dropped but i haven't listened yet): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bush-v-gore/id1497785843?i=1000466622246

Cosign. I've never listened to Reply All before, and none of the other episode summaries particularly make me want to, but that was near perfect. Like a Serial style true crime detective show except a) short and ii) no-one gets killed.
