I have a boring ass job too and a few enthralling eps of a podcast can really speed the day along

Phoebe Judge has one of the best speaking voices not just in podcasting but, like, in all media ever.
Hearing her rep for Mancrates.com, though, is such a cringe/lol.
Also, Vegemitegrrl, please to single out any particularly exceptional true crime episodes or series you've heard lately (or this year)?
― rip van wanko, Thursday, 20 December 2018 00:47 (five years ago) link
map: I recommend "Heavyweight" (for real)
Also "Stop Podcasting Yourself", which has to be my longest-running sub that I still consistently listen to, and I didn't see here.
Heads up: all white Canadian dudes with loose formats

xpostNotable shows:Bear Brook Teacher’s PetDr DeathAll 3 were excellent, cannot recommend Bear Brook highly enough. Notable Single Episodes (imo): Casefile:Ep 90 Hoddle Street Ep 100 The Beaumont ChildrenMy Favorite Murder: Ep 150 Reyna Marroquin made me cry Ep 113 Live in Utah - SLC library hostage Ep 111 Van Nuys Courthouse shootingLast Podcast on the Left: Eps 335-337 West Memphis Three: surprisingly good, there were details I didn’t know or rememberEps 306-307 Casey Anthony, same reason as above
Cocaine & RhinestonesEp3 Murder Ballad of Spade Cooley - not a true crime podcast normally but this is 100% a true crime ep, details are horrific (and he makes it easy to skip that part if you need to) but the story is absolutely one that should be heard

:D I am a big fan of MFM & Last Podcast but I tend not to recommend them to ppl much just bc their humor & chatter is v subjective & not everyone is into that style. But Karen on MFM has a real knack for telling some incredibly compelling stories, and Marcus on Last Podcast does a herculean amount of research, and I think they both help occasionally raise the bar from “jokey murder chatz”
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 20 December 2018 01:50 (five years ago) link
I loved Dr. Death, all the more compelling because it happened in my city.
Listening to Bear Brook now!
After scanning this thread about a week ago, I checked out an episode of This Actually Happened on a whim, and it turned out to be the one about a girl who was systematically sexually abused by her parents and other locals, and it was legitimately traumatizing. The episode had a trigger warning and everything, but I had no idea what I was in for. It kinda ticked me off, like maybe the warning should have been a little more pronounced. I don't remember the name of the episode and can't seem to find it, maybe someone knows which one I'm referencing
― rip van wanko, Thursday, 20 December 2018 02:45 (five years ago) link
I know which one you’re talking about - but I’ve been listening for a long time so it wasn’t as shocking. There aren’t any others as disturbing as that one, but a few are pretty heavy. There’s a domestic abuse/attempted murder story that’s pretty hard to listen to. .
I’d also strongly recommend the Mary Vincent ep of MFM - it’s an “I survived” story and is incredible.
― just1n3, Thursday, 20 December 2018 07:24 (five years ago) link
oh shit yes, that was a great one
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 20 December 2018 20:24 (five years ago) link
I still think about Mary all the time tbh

holy shit walking down the road naked, covered in blood, and no arms
i still think it was shitty of those dudes to drive off, but you would have to ask yourself if what you were seeing was... real? i mean, i didn't think a person could survive double amputation!

i really like matt and shane's secret podcast and recommend it.
in a particular category, china-focused podcasts:the little red podcast, maybe starting from the three part series on xi jinping's war on the uighurs, but go back and listen to the episode on chinese police statistics and the one on china's resettlement industry sinica, even though kaiser kuo's apologies for the regime + claiming to be a "neoliberal" get old but they have access to some important american china wonks (less interesting now that they've all been mostly marginalized) and occasionally cover more interesting things, esp when they get academics instead of bureaucrats on and let jeremy goldkorn go, go back into the archives to when they were both still in beijing. n(u with an umlaut) voices, and please listen to the recent episode with new yorker writer jiayang fan. probably should recommend laszlo montgomery's china history podcast, too. not my thing but if you want to hear a guy talk about, like, the history of china-vietnam relations, tea, legalism, zhou enlai...

On the next season of StartUp... we sell-out to Spotify!https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/02/spotify-reportedly-in-advanced-stages-of-acquiring-podcast-company-for-230m/

Damn. Well, I guess it's every start-up's goal to sell out to a bigger start-up, right? Unfortunately I like Reply All and Heavyweight enough to figure out how to listen to them on Spotify if necessary, which I suppose is worth $230 mil to them.

Guys a podcast I have been working on for literally almost a year comes out tomorrow. It feels like much of that time was spent convincing various people I work with not to can it. I'm very very proud of it but it is pretty... unusual ("weird" is the word I keep hearing) and I would love it if each and every person reading this goes and rates it/subscribes etc. All six episodes drop tomorrow.https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/texting-keith-olbermann/id1454216255?mt=2or indeed in the official app/website: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p071wbr5/episodes/downloads
