Not A Vet Yet posted:Anyone have any good podcasts on British politics? I'll take either crazy rambling Carlin Common Sense style opinions or cool polished Radiolab More Perfect style on the system itself (although I guess thats law rather then politics, but close enough). The Spectator do decent podcasts imo. There's a fortnightly 30 min one covering a few topics and a quick 10min daily recap when something notable happens.

I've been really liking Reveal, which tends to go for those "lost in the cracks" sorts of stories that Last Week Tonight kinda goes for, but obviously this is done pretty much stone sober. It's one of those "Yeah, I knew this was hosed, but I didn't realize just how hosed it is" podcasts, which is some combination of informative and depressing.

Reveal is a partner with propublica. If that's any indication, they do their best to delve into things

Reveal is incredibly satisfying investigative journalism. Pro listen, but holy gently caress is it a bummer because... well, just listen to some of the episodes.

Thanks for the reply, I've been listening to this, its good. To balance out all the right wing stuff I've been downloading the guardian's politics weekly. Can also recommend this. But I'd still like to find some UK centric Carlin-esque craziness, or some well polished Radiolab type stuff. I'm fully aware these may not exist.

Any good podcasts that cover conspiracy theories in an objective educational/historical way? I'm not looking for a debunking podcast like Skeptoid, or one where the hosts drink the coolaid and are truthers. Just someone who breaks down what the theories are, not whether they're true or not.

Why would you not want to know whether it's true or not? How would that even work.

Because hearing the story of a conspiracy theory is a lot more interesting than hearing the facts? As the facts are generally "Well yeah of course that didn't happen." Basically I want to learn more about what the conspiracy theories were culturally at the time, rather than hearing someone spend time digging into the veracity of them or trying to convince the listener that they're true. Stuff They Don't Want You to Know is the closest I've found so far, but it's pretty corny.

Thinking Sideways covers unsolved mysteries, and ends up discussing a shitload of conspiracy theories in the process. Its a pretty good listen.

Try Mysterious Universe. I'm not a regular listener but from what I've heard it seems like it might fit what you're looking for. The hosts seem like they are open minded but not true believers. It's not all conspiracy theories per se but offbeat stuff in general.

They started out that way, but they've become increasingly credulous after realizing how much money was in that kind of work. It's still good for weird news items now and again, but they don't use a whole lot of skepticism or logic these days. If you can track down the back catalog it's pretty good.

Back when I listened I enjoyed the relatively measured take on things. The monetisation of the podcast was always... prominent, so I guess it isn't a total shock.

Last podcast on the left covers things very exhaustively and always gives you a straight story on what the actual conspiracy is and why but a lot of it is jokes, them pretending to believe in it 100 percent, or Henry zebrowski doing silly voices.

Not a podcast, but Al Jazeera started a video series about the history of the Caliphs. First video starts with Abu Bakr and ends with the collapse of the Umayyads. Looks like they're giving an ocean-view tour of the people who claimed the title up until the fall of the Ottomans. (They're trying to explain the significance of the title to people who've only heard of it in relation to ISIS' dubious claims.) Can't say much about how historically accurate it is. Sounds like they're presenting a very traditional history of the early Caliphs.

Lizard People might be along these lines. I only recently heard about it and haven't actually gotten around to any episodes yet, though, so I can't vouch for how seriously it takes the actual theories (it's styled as conspiracy theories and comedy, so maybe something Dollop-esque?)

Dan Carlin must be deep in the hardcore history studio bunker since he hasn't had anything on Twitter in a while. If there was ever a news story to get him to release an episode of common sense it would have been the DNC email leaks.

I'll check in again a few months from now to see if he's improved.

Kinda bummed that Carlin skimmed over Xenophon, especially when so much of the episode is devoted to how scarce and suspect the sources are. Otherwise pretty solid.

The Lesser Bonapartes did a series on Xenophon before the host switch if you're interested in some people getting deep into just that.

came to see Dan Carlin, pleased to see he's up at the top of the OP. King of Kings is gonna be drat near as good as Death Throes and is about history you probably don't already know (if you grew up in the states)

Dan Carlin is kind of frustrating to listen to when he's talking about current events because you can almost hear him physically strain to maintain an apolitical facade and therefore say nothing of substance. But maybe it is all about hate

There are a bunch of Common Sense episodes where I disagree with Dan immensely when I first listen to it, but then gradually see his point. The second half of this episode was pretty much just him regurgitating his mom's views on there being "too much hate." I know he usually doesn't get in the nitty gritties of the political cycle on the show, but we barely got his take on some of Trump's crazier positions, like the nuclear arsenal thing.

He has really wanted to bag on Trump specifically for like the last four Common Sense episodes, and has had to restrain himself from doing so. I don't think CS will be worth listening to until after the election.
