oh shit yes, that was a great one

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!

crazy

Take it to the true crime thread seriously

Like wtf?

who are yer guys?

sorry PK, forgot there was a dedicated true crime thread

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...

Thought I'd share this: https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2018/12/best-podcasts-2018/578899/

Most of these are new to me but that's not saying much. I know I've seen a few of these listed here.

Agree with their #1- Caliphate is really, really good

50 podcasts. no thanks

On the next season of StartUp... we sell-out to Spotify!

Hope all the creators have IP rights!

i think some do have a certain split

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.

Also I finally took a stab at making my own podcast (interviews with electronic music people): https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/digital-warmth/id1451018142

nice!

my spanish is getting a little rusty so i've started listening to spanish language podcasts.

NPR have one called Radio Ambulante which I've enjoyed

Following up on our two-parter on deconstructing conspiracy theory, we did an ep on teacher strikes and labor organizing(both in the PacNW and nationally)

can anyone recommend a deep (ideally interview w/ expert focused) podcast on natural world / nature / evolution topics?

not a podcast but Natural Histories can be really good

I just discovered Ducan Trussell's Family Hour so I'm good for like, a year

iirc a lot of Duncan Trussell hate in here. I have enjoyed this podcast.

Digging Tim Heidecker's Office Hours, it is not boring. Sort of chaotic and disorganized in a fun way.

This may not be an exact match, but I like Fieldwork Diaries - https://www.fieldworkdiaries.com

Not precisely the right thread but christ, the latest Android Pocket Casts update is an absolute shithouse: glitchy as hell, fugly and the UI has gone backwards. Ugh.

Google Podcasts is the only app I've tried that seems simple and intuitive

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.

or indeed in the official app/website: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p071wbr5/episodes/downloads

Good luck!

Thank you!

pocket casts is such a mess now, wtf are they doing

good to know. Will continue to not update it on Android. From reading about the update on Google Play, sounds like a lot more monetization afoot.

I wish I liked the open source Antennapod. anyone use it? I don't suppose it has become good?

Listening to your podcast now, Tracer Hand. It’s great! Very compelling and weirdly tense so far (I’m two episodes in).

Awesome. Rate! review! :)

will it be fun if I've never heard of Keith Olberman?

I hadn't heard of him but the first two episodes were entertaining and compelling indeed and made me want to find out what'll happen so I'm on for the ride!
Out of curiosity, what was your role in the series, Tracer?

tracer is keith olberman
