Can anyone recommend a podcast that covers international news weekly? Ideally it would cover global events, lean towards comedy (don’t want some super dry news show) and around 20 mins would be great. I have something similar for local politics which is perfect but wanted to get some more news as I sometimes don’t have time to read or watch it.

rumble in the bunghole posted:Four Finger Discount Is this actually any good? I listened to one episode which was an hour long and half of it was just them talking about random unrelated poo poo which wasn’t interesting or funny. I much preferred Talking Simpsons but as I said I’ve only done one episode of Four Finger Discount.

Speaking of leftie podcasts, whomever recommended Citations Needed and News Roast was a good call.

fadam posted:Has there been s Serial/S-Town/Dirty John tier podcast released in the past few months? I need a new tru-crime(ish) miniseries to distract me while I get through these next two working days. BBC just started doing Death in Ice Valley about the Isdal woman. It’s very good so far but you may already know a bit about the case. I got the What a Time to Alive suggestion from this thread as well and it has quickly become and favourite podcast.

Azathoth posted:There's other good true crime podcasts but I have yet to find one that is episodic like Casefile other than Swindled. I would recommend these: I recommend Death in Ice Valley a ways back but I felt like it really dropped the ball pretty soon into it. Just felt like a huge amount of filler and speculation. Still like the style. I’ll check out Swindled, sounds good.

RareAcumen posted:That new Moonpie 2:27 into What a Time to Be Alive episode 41 was loving transcendent. Agreed. My favourite show for sure at the moment! I also found LPOTL a bit much most of the time and the jokes weren’t really funny. Will check out those others though.

Wildeyes posted:If I recall, they don't really cover Amanda Knox's trial, since they solidly believe Knox and Sollecito got railroaded and the media's fixation on Knox distracts from both the victim and actual killer. They definitely cover the case and evidence though and talk at length about Meredith Kercher and Rudy Guede. A good list and I agree with most things you’ve said. I’m liking Generation Why and Casefile quite a bit but find GW has a bit more discussion where as Casefile is very matter of fact. I’m from New Zealand too so the Australian accent is no draw. I actually find Criminal to be quite sincere most of the time but I know what you mean. Swindled could be added to this list even though it’s more about scams and stuff. Great dead-pan delivery and really ties in how awful some of these people are. Someone further up recommended it, so thank you. Speaking of weird delivery and production: Conspiracy Theories and Cults. It’s just so weird to me how these shows come across.

mike12345 posted:The only true crime show I stuck with is Generation Why. The hosts muted delivery makes the horrible stuff more bearable. They don't get excited or angry, and talk like a bunch of librarians on tranquilizers. But somehow that works for me. I also generally enjoy this one although as the thread has said before their views on things are a little off sometimes.

Kerro posted:I enjoyed this well enough but I think I'm pretty done with long-form true crime podcasts unless they offer something really different. So many of them just drag things out excessively and have so much repetition that I lose interest. I'd love more long-form podcasts like S-Town focusing on interesting/unusual people or places though. Avoid Death in Ice Valley then! They just had a live hour update and the first 30 minutes was just a big wet fart.

dead gay comedy forums posted:Just want to reiterate that this is a rather great listen and donoteat makes good youtube stuff and is a goon too, and he has literally the perfect voice to talk about engineering fails - check out his takedown of Elon Musk if you are interested: Yeah I’ve also been enjoying it, a shame it’s YouTube only but it makes sense. Related to this, I’m currently watching Chernobyl. Are there any good podcasts about that or other man made disasters?

rotinaj posted:I am personally bummed about Reveal falling from grace, because I was a big fan of it a few years ago. But they kept replaying old stories without any kind of update, just to have something to put out on a weekly basis. I get that journalism takes time to be done right, but in that case, do something else. Interview reporters for their life stories, tell interesting things that happened or that you found while researching a bigger story, or just don’t be tied to it being weekly. Reply All isn’t weekly and is much stronger for it, though I loving hate one of the hosts on it and wish that he would gently caress off forever. I feel you on Reveal. I was into it for a while but then got sick of the repeats. Also didn’t help that they didn’t label the repeats as that.

Anyone know what’s up with the BBC World this Week podcast? Hasn’t had an update in two weeks. I’ve been listening to it for years so it’s a little weird it’s just dropped off. Still up on the website but no updates since the 7th.

Each week the hosts pick a topic and find the worst posts people make about it on Reddit, Twitter, Facebook etc and read them out loud. This bit of this episode made me laugh harder than maybe any podcast I've ever listened to before: I’ve also been enjoying this a lot!

Speaking of waterboarding, hydration is important to your health and that's why we support VitaMix the only electrolyte packet guaranteed to keep you hydrated at work, on the go, wherever you go, bring a pack of VitaMix! You know who could have used some VitaMix? Muammar Gaddafi. Sources say that while he was being chased by rebels, a leg cramp..." Haha yeah that would be way worse. The ads are dynamic for sure as I get ads for the company I work for who is not US based. Also our customers would not be listening to Blowback…

Can anyone recommend some more retro PC gaming/hardware podcasts? I’ve got DosGameClub which is great but looking for something else. Specifically PC and ~90s games.

OldSenileGuy posted:A few months ago a discovered Junk Food Cinema, and my thought was "wow this is exactly what I've been looking for - I like Cargill, and the other guy is a little annoying but I can put up with that" It’s a little different from what you’re looking for but maybe check out Unclear and Present Danger. It looks at 80s and 90s “Dad” movies. It’s interesting and funny. Hyrax Attack! posted:Watch Out for Fireballs (hosted by goons) is one of my favorites, they’ve covered tons of 90s games for all sorts of systems. Would recommend poking around their back catalog for favorites, their eps on Fallout are excellent, they’ve also covered lots of adventure games. Thanks I’ll check it out!
