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).

I like all the knockoff podcasts now: "Ladies Drinking Wine and Talking about Stalkers!"
― Muswell Hillbilly Elegy (President Keyes), Thursday, 23 January 2020 19:59 (four years ago) link
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.

it's old now but this ep of THIS WEEK IN ATROCITY accurately foretold the fall of michael avenetti in hilarious (depressingly hilarious) detail: https://soundcloud.com/user-695156563/053-jerry-lundegaards-basta
(feat.charles star then also of the late lamented mic dicta, but less chaotic than mic dicta often was)

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

Part of me hopes all these podcast networks get bought by warring content providers and go behind paywalls so don’t feel like I need to keep listening to so many fucking shows
― Muswell Hillbilly Elegy (President Keyes), Monday, 17 February 2020 20:55 (four years ago) link
I kinda wonder if anyone actually paid for Luminary
― Muswell Hillbilly Elegy (President Keyes), Monday, 17 February 2020 20:56 (four years ago) link
And just like that, those podcasts I couldn't find for days are now back (or accessible again). Idk.

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
― mark s, Tuesday, 3 March 2020 16:06 (four years ago) link
ALAB is a good podcast, it indeed scratches the itch Mic Dicta did for its brief period of existence

new Reply All episode where they try to track down an unknown single is very good. Reminds me of our Grim Reapah thread.

That was terrific. No spoilers;

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.

I respect the chutzpah of Rob Sheffield hypothesizing that this song he doesn't recognize is therefore likely a fake.

― Muswell Hillbilly Elegy (President Keyes), Tuesday, 10 March 2020 14:31 (four years ago) link
Reply All is generally great and as a testament to how great and I bulk listened to it and I *wish* someone would tell PJ Vogt to s l o w down when he talks, he misses every third consonant and his maniacal uptalking drove me a bit mad.
― Maresn3st, Tuesday, 10 March 2020 14:57 (four years ago) link
Reply All is something very rare: a great podcast with unbearable hosts.
― JRN, Tuesday, 10 March 2020 15:04 (four years ago) link
The bit at the start of the missing hit episode where he names his forgotten sci-fi book - I clicked back and listened to it about ten times and had absolutely no idea what he was saying. then i saw the link to the transcript.
oh yeah i did hear that one - slightly squirmy :)
― Paperbag raita (ledge), Tuesday, 10 March 2020 15:22 (four years ago) link
just did a search for reply all super tech support episodes - https://gimletmedia.com/search?q=super%20tech%20support - and yeah these might be worthwhile.
― Paperbag raita (ledge), Tuesday, 10 March 2020 16:21 (four years ago) link
I'd actually unsubbed from Reply All (well, not re-subbed) until this bump. I think the Indian call centre episode is mentioned up thread. That's really good as well.
― Noel Emits, Tuesday, 10 March 2020 18:38 (four years ago) link
I'm digging Marlon & Jake Read Dead People. It's just Marlon James and his editor shooting the shit about old novels.

Latest ep of Reply All is the best in a long time: PJ hunts down a song from the 90s that the internet doesn’t think exists.

I really liked this but I listen to a looooooooot of horror audio dramas, so I'm clearly good with some of the faux-investigative tropes that might put others off that stuff.

― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Friday, 13 March 2020 19:30 (four years ago) link
My favourites are Within the Wires (perhaps not so much 'horror' but deep uneasiness and very interesting formal framework) and I Am In Eskew (Lovecraftian dystopia). A little busy at the moment but I can come back with a longer list of recommendations later.

Looking back up thread I totally recognize that conversation, which actually got me to go back to RA & download the recent eps. But for some reason I thought the convo had been on reddit. *shrugs sheepishly*
― Una Palooka Dronka (hardcore dilettante), Saturday, 14 March 2020 00:49 (four years ago) link
I think my pal Mary does the music for Within The Wires.
Listened to the latest Reply-All and I was ready for that Sci-Fi novel that PJ Vogt couldn't remember, but yeah, it was just a mush.
