Inward Empire's long time between releases is significantly more painful than Hardcore History's.

Not to distract from that, but a dude fed a predictive text interface a bunch of Hardcore History transcripts and did a dramatic reading of what it spat out.

"There’s another famous incident where Lenin said, quote, “Everything is happening and it’s so horrible and greasy and I often think about how many things are happening right now in history.” End quote."

Does anyone have any good comparative-religion podcasts that explore and contrast not only the beliefs, practices, and texts of various religions, but also their secular histories and evolutions?

I'll ditto this request

In Our Time seems to take a fairly secular approach to their religious episodes.

Can anyone recommend a good global development podcast? Like one that is focused on successful (or failed, even) development programs, supported by studies and real world examples? I guess I'm looking for something a bit meatier than news and more practical than like, TED Talks.

I don't think this would fill the bill for you, but given the above you might like LSE's podcasts:

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
5 hours 50 minutes :psyduck:

"What happens if human beings can't handle the power of their own weaponry? This show examines the dangerous early years of the Nuclear Age and humankind's efforts to avoid self-destruction at the hands of its own creation."

It's a Blitz show as well so definitely just a one-off.

It looks like a Power Metal album cover from the 80s. Maybe if it had a sticker in the corner with Beavis doing the two finger salute, I'd be more likely to listen.

I guess it's great if you're looking for a podcast about nuclear war, with a hint of power metal 'tude. To me it looks juvenile.
