It's a selling point. If it didn't scar your mouth, it wouldn't be crunchy. Our lizard brains crave the feeling of crushing the pathetic bones of small prey species, and smelling that hit of fear hormones wafting in the firelight. Also that oily aftertaste is addictive. On another note, how reductive it is to be called a prey animal. Imagine your entire worth wrapped up in how easily a weak-necked running ape is able to grab you.

I've been going back in the archives of Lions led by Donkeys and was surprised that they have an episode on kevin patrick dawes, who was at former goon who got kicked off SA (I'm sure some of you know more about this), and ended up going to Libya and the Syria. SA is mentioned quite a bit, though the host, Joe Kassabian was a goon way back in the days and doesn't really know much about SA anymore. So like most people then. Anyway, it's a great podcast, I forgot who recommended it here, but thanks.

Anyone have a recommendation for a (traditional fantasy setting) tabletop RPG adventure podcast that isn't run by a bunch of obnoxious dweebs? I'd prefer something that leans heavily toward character/storytelling over goofing around, though I'd still enjoy a decent sense of humor. Not The Adventure Zone—I bounced off that. Every one I've tried before feels like it's focused way more on metagaming and the players cracking jokes with each other than trying to build a compelling narrative together.

I’d say try season 2 of Nerd Poker but I don’t have a lot of experience with other D&D podcasts. Several of them are comedians so it’s definitely lighthearted but they were playing together as a group for years before making it a podcast. It isn’t just for laughs, they do love the game.

I don’t know I usually only like the comedy ones maybe critical role or glass cannon? I feel like those two play it fairly straight

The go to recommendations for Actual Play TTRPG podcasts that I've seen pretty much everywhere are Adventure Zone, Critical Role, Glass Cannon, and Not Another D&D Podcast (NADDPod). They are all silly to varying degrees, though I'm not as far into some as others. I can personally vouch for NADDPod, though whether it is too silly is something you'll need to judge for yourself. Fortunately, it starts off really high quality so if you give it a try, you'll know within the first hour if it's going to click with you.

Just poked into Glass Cannon and it looks just about right, I like that they do video, and I like their variety. Will definitely check out NNADDPod. I gave Critical Role a shot and it wasn't for me, either, but I think I just found the DM a little too performative. Maybe I should give that another shot. I don't have a problem with silly, per se, I just like when the silliness comes from the gameplay rather than just dorks making jokes.

You probably would have gotten the same recs there but it seems like a good opportunity to link to the actual play thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3743698&perpage=40&noseen=1&pagenumber=29

No RPG podcast I've tried has ever managed to measure up to the Harmontown D&D segments. I just want an RPG podcast where a skilled DM gently guides a group of talented improv comedians who are too drunk to remember what they did the previous session and keep bringing their relationship issues into the game through an adventure.

That tracks pretty closely to Rude Tales of Magic. I believe most of the cast has some level of improv background and it has pretty tight editing so it keeps moving. They also have a music segment at one point set to a Diarrhea Planet song of all bands so they’re good.

This is more a general query on a podcast app - has anyone else been noticing that some series are not getting updated on Player.fm? I mean, things are still updating, but I've noticed some things have been getting delayed, like up to two weeks. Anyone have any idea what could be the cause?

I have been loving 'The Socially Distant Sports Bar' Although I can see it's in danger of falling into a classic podcast trap of becoming overly reliant one strong personality in the hosting dyanmic.

Is there a podcast or Youtube channel (preferably Youtube-channel) that showcases new stuff/developments in the art world? Like "This week in Art", "what can we look forward to at the Documenta in Kassel", "Stuff in Venice", "Miami Art Basel poo poo", etc.

Oh wow, is that caro? As far as I can recall, he was perma'd for being dead, but that got overturned when he was released from Syria. I might be waaay off in my memories though. Thanks for highlighting this, I'm a frequent listener, but didn't notice that episode. I'd like to give that a listen.

Disclosure: I just read this today so I haven't had a chance to listen to this podcast yet, but it sounds extremely my poo poo.The Guardian posted:Back in November, the Hell Bent for Metal podcast (HBFM) put out their first episode, called Gay Satanic Love Songs. If you’re worried that they played their trump card too early, this was followed by an edition entitled BDSM Gear and Black Metal, and another named Horny German Werewolves.

Recommending the Suicide Pact podcast. Two NY comedians (a couple) that just kind of shoot the poo poo about whatever that week but I find they're quite funny and the right level / mix of energy

It actually took me a good 100 episodes to care about the meta plot but I really enjoy the weekly stories so if you like those I wouldn’t worry about the common threads between them. Counterpoint: I have a friend who really enjoys the meta plot and that kicks in around episode seven.

Only found out about ‘blowback’ this week, and if you’re looking for a podcast about the Iraq invasion, or are one of the people who should listen to a podcast about it, then you really need to check this out. It’s well made, the hosts are great and it’s pretty in-depth. The upcoming season about Cuba looks promising too. I wasn’t so sure about ‘Operation midnight climax’, because everybody knows about the CIA testing LSD on unsuspecting people back in the days. But hearing the life stories behind the people involved and how insanely hosed up it all was, did make it an interesting listen. The guy from running with cops made a new show called ‘the line’. About navy seals and the guy who allegedly murdered a POW with a knife. It’s only a couple of episodes in, but sound interesting. You can only listen to it on apple podcast app, though (I think, maybe I’m doing something wrong).

The intro segments to Useful Idiots have been loving dreadful since they left Rolling Stone. I dunno if the "four food groups" segment was forced on them by a producer there, but it was a million times better than 15 meandering minutes of irony about being Assadists or loving the Yemen genocide.

PocketCasts is solid, but personally I switched to Podcast Republic a few years back for the ability to set individual shows to download 'oldest first' and also to filter downloads by keyword, eg 'don't download episodes with the words 'preview, prequel, live, or minisode' in the title'.

That's the eternal true crime question. yeah, I don't know of any true crime podcasts that just cover unsolved cases and are not 100% copaganda. the best that some of them get is being willing to criticize cops when they do obviously lovely things (and then conspicuously being NOT ALL COPS). like, i put up with more copaganda than I should, but the sheer number of exchanges on Jensen and Holes that are basically this is staggering: billy: but when the victim went to report the crime, the local police didn't take her seriously paul: you see this in older cases billy: the victim persisted, repeatedly calling law enforcement, the media, and anyone who would listen, and several days later she sat down with a detective and gave her statement paul: i've read over the statement and she's a very compelling witness billy: yeah, i agree, a 16 year old straight A student who just got accepted to Harvard College doesn't just go to the cops and lie about something like this. more concerning however, is this handwritten note found on the original witness statement when it was released in 2015 that says "this looney bitch" paul: i'm not sure what the detectives at the time were thinking billy: DNA would go on to link her attack with over 20 other attacks across the tri-state area paul: obviously, law enforcement dropped the ball on this one billy: it's pretty obvious in hindsight that they didn't take her seriously paul: (long pause) ...we just don't know what kind of information they had and that's like the MOST you get of podcasts calling out cops. if someone has one that isn't like that, i'd sure love to hear it

I'm only a few episodes into Your Own Backyard but it's good enough that I'm listening to yet another true crime podcast, so that says something. Someone Knows Something on CBC has a few seasons and each one is good, I think the 1st and 4th are best. Oh, and A Very Fatal Murder by The Onion is extremely good satire of the genre, really funny on its own right. xtal fucked around with this message at 01:11 on Apr 24, 2021 |

I have a friend who keeps sending me true crime podcasts and they all seem to be a lady who sounds like she took 3 Xanax before recording. All different podcasts, but it seems to be a requirement of the genre that you read your research with as flat an affect as possible.

I’m kind of over weekly true crime where they do new cases each week but still listen to longer ones, some ok ones at the moment or have recently wrapped up Cold season 2 The Doodler Lost Hills Looking for the Todt Family Tom Brown’s Body They’re mostly investigative focusing on the cases instead of comedy or editorialized
