This might overlap a bit with the conspiracy theory conversation, but can anyone recommend good spooky podcasts for the upcoming spooky Halloween season? Stuff about ghosts or aliens, or even true crime stuff as long as it's more spooky than sad. Like, spooky disappearances, not sad child murders. Just no fiction, I don't approve of it, and no Last Podcast on the Left.

Azathoth posted:Astonishing Legends and Pleasing Terrors are exactly what you want. Also The Strange and Unusual Podcast and Unexplained. Human Tornada posted:Snap Judgements Presents: Spooked. I will try all of these, thanks. Goddamn, Astonishing Legends did a fifteen hour long series on the Patterson Gimli film. I am 100% down for that

I've given up on Astonishing Legends. I was so excited when I saw how long the episodes were, I thought they were going to be super in depth deep dives. Which they are, I suppose, but it feels like most of the length comes from being really repetitive and somewhat poorly structured, and if they get in touch with someone from the stories then they just stop the series dead to do a very long bad interview.

sexpig by night posted:was she just a normal abuser then? I forget who from that era was a creep and who was just a horrible person. According to the Wikipedia In October 2001, Poundstone was charged with felony child endangerment in connection with driving while intoxicated with children in the car. She was also charged with three counts of lewd acts upon a girl younger than 14.[11] She changed her earlier plea of not guilty, and, in exchange, prosecutors dropped three counts of committing lewd acts against a child and added a misdemeanor count of inflicting injury upon a child.[11][12] Poundstone also pleaded no contest to one count of felony child endangerment.[12] She was sentenced to probation and six months in rehabilitation and ordered to perform 200 hours of community service.[12] In 2002, Poundstone talked about her personal responsibility for the events that led to her arrest and the steps she has taken, including a six-month treatment program for alcoholism, but said that she did not commit any lewd acts or child abuse.[12] Poundstone is asexual[13] and an atheist.[14][15]

feedmyleg posted:Live episodes of comedy podcasts are usually alright, as long as they're used sparingly. They can be a nice break from the norm and the timing shifts interestingly in front of a live audience—some of the Earwolf ones and No Such Thing as a Fish spring to mind. When I saw the Our Fake History episode pop up in my feed I archived it immediately, though. A shame because it's a great podcast, but it sounds like a very poor way to spend an hour of my time. the really annoying thing about the episode was that there was an actually pretty decent interview with a lady who had written a book about an interesting subject. That could have been a good episode if they had done it in the studio. Instead of live on stage where the host sounded like he was soaked with sweat

Hemingway To Go! posted:Seeking podcasts that have rowdy energy. Podcasts i connect with are things like chapo, the dollop, ltpol. Not sure of content I am looking for. Should be conversational but I'd also like an informational component I can talk to others about. History or science or something, probably not politics and definately not more magick, aliens, or cults. And probably not movies or video games. Seeking something i can play while doing my remote job to use as an other people talking simulator but i can come away with with something to talk to people about. My Favorite Murder could be just what you're looking for. Even though it's a true crime podcast they're remarkably good about keeping an upbeat energy without being disrespectful to the people they're talking about.

ImpAtom posted:Can anyone recommend some particular funny podcasts. Like humor based or just genuinely funny people discussing things. I've enjoyed stuff like We Hate Movies but would like to branch out. D&D podcasts preferably excluded since I am super burned out on those. What A Time To Be Alive can be pretty good. It's three comedians talking about the five strangest or funniest news stories in the past week. They stay away from politics or situations where people died, unless it's very funny.

Is there a role playing podcast where the players are inexperienced and/or drunk enough that they will make weird or obviously bad choices, but aren't intentionally being wacky monkey dishwasher types? Basically I want something like the D&D segments from Harmontown. I really liked those and when they ended I tried listening to one of the big RPG podcasts at the time, I forget which it was, but all the players were clearly experienced RPG players and were very efficient quick on the uptake. Which I found very boring

I tried S-Town season 1 and at first it was all like, "oh wow we're gonna unravel a tangled web of crime deep in the heart of this small town" but then turned out to just be a character study of a weird lovely dude. edit: whoops nevermind Gripweed fucked around with this message at 22:35 on Sep 2, 2020 |

Imagined posted:What are some more good podcasts with self-contained, non-serial episodes? I don't like true crime, politics or anything else that reminds me of how poo poo humans are right now. I do like non-fiction and history. But I only listen to podcasts occasionally so I always want ones I can just drop into after missing ten episodes. To make it extra difficult, I do prefer podcasts where they're talking about *something*, not just "here's some funny people in a room being funny". E1. The gimmick is that every episode is the first and only episode of a different podcast. It is three funny guys in a room being funny, but it's like, this week they're all flat earth researchers arguing about what's on the other side, or three monkeys recording a podcast about being monkeys on an iPhone that someone dropped into their enclosure, or three Joe Bidens telling dueling rambling stories about how America used to be.

CelestialScribe posted:NPR / Public radio shows do this so much. This American Life is super guilty. Oh man, that one episode where the first like 40 minutes is the story of Nauru. This one tiny horrible little island nation that has been caught up in a nexus of politics and economics and environmental degradation for its entire short, pathetic history. And then the last ten minutes is a story about a guy whose mom got put on hold for several hours. In a way, she was just as lost as the people of Nauru.

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.

Azathoth posted:I really enjoyed the first season, haven't tried anything beyond that and it's definitely worth a listen. It's a really interesting deep dive into a child's disappearance and I think it does an amazing job of capturing the maddening uncertainty of how the family feels and how there can be a lot of seemingly promising or oddly coincidental leads that either don't pan out or are incredibly unlikely though not impossible. I found it super boring. But I also hated S-Town, which pitched itself as an investigation into small town crime and corruption but was just about a weird guy, and people liked that so ymmv.

Chas McGill posted:Any recs for podcasts in the nerd talks at length about a single large subject genre? I'm already listening to History of Egypt, Tides of History, and History of English and I like how they're basically all information and there's just one host. Revolutions and History of Rome would be my go-to suggestions. Ghost Stories for the End of the World is quite good too. All the episodes are about CIA shenanigans or things people believe might be CIA shenanigans. Hardcore History is another option but some people don't care for the host's methods and the massively long gaps between episodes are annoying.

Ghost Stories for the End of the World would probably be up your alley. It's about conspiracy theories but ones you probably haven't heard of, like the murder of Aldo Moro or Charles Manson's connections to MKULTRA. The host is British and I can't tell the difference between all their regional accents so I don't know if he's a nerd, but the show does have a very spooky vibe.
