BTW Rob, I know you are in touch with... uh, at least one of the people from Ethnically Ambiguous, or otherwise I'm voice-blind along with my face-blindness; but are there other podcasters you are in contact with?

The ethnically ambiguous folks are both co workers of mine. But yes I know a lot of podcasters, which in 2020 is the single least impressive statement a human being can make

robert, having just finished the bonus tiger king episode, i have to ask: have you considered a podcast of really weird stories out of the south, collaborating with billy wayne davis, because that was loving solid

alternatively, since you have, like, three podcasts already: do you know of good podcasts along those lines that already exist

If there was a weekly "Robert Evans and Billy Wayne Davis tell stories from rural America" podcast I would happily subscribe

and it'd be a nice thing to be able to force all of my friends who think all of rural America basically doesn't count to listen to

The Memory Palace is one of my favorite podcasts: short, tightly written little snippets of biography and history. He recently put out one that's a collection of twenty 20 second long stories that i really liked and thought i'd share here. Like most of them it varies between poignant, funny, and just plain interesting.

It's not a contest, there isn't a finite quantity of podcast hedons to distribute.

I'm sure Robert really good but I Don't Even Own A TV and the 40k Badcast and the System Mastery/Expounded Universe guys are also stair-havers (not 100% on the last one but I think they are?) .

There's that, but he also points out the way people have of destroying their environment (not that the was their specific case), or how vulnerable we are to environmental changes. Which bodes super well.

---

I've been continuing with Behind the Bastards and it's just really good. I can get over the occasional guest who seem to have the worst timing or understanding of what's being said, because it's just super interesting. Come to think of it I guess Robert Evan's podcasts get me through tough/bleak times? There's this right now with this constant quarantine/covid-stress, but the first time was listening to It Could Happen Here after some ocular surgery. During the recuperation period I was really freaking out that I was just going to end up blind (even if it wasn't going to be the case as the surgeon assured me), and both then and now it's just kinda reassuring to hear about things going super wrong. Like a "it could be worse" reassurance.

So if anyone thinks like me go for it.

on Evans' other show, Worst Year Ever, there was an ad for a podcast named "Stay Calm," is that what you mean?

See, for me the reverse is true: when I'm at home I spend my ear-time on audiobooks but my (short) commute was explicitly for podcasts (on the way in IT stuff like Risky Business, on the way back more relaxing stuff). No commute means I've made huge inroads on my audiobook list (all of the Eisenhorn/Ravenor books, to start with) but my podcast debt has ballooned.

Not if you drag Cody/Katy/Sophie into a live play podcast! ;)


That aside: As a born West Virginian and native Appalachian, I really appreciate your Blair Mountain episode. It's such a huge part of why this region is the way it is (and other rural communities in the US by extension), and yet I have relatives living barely miles from where the shots were fired who know nothing about their people's history. The narrative of the company man has won out and been deeply rooted; frankly, it's heartbreaking, but content like this can at least help shed some light.

Also, I've met Michael Kline and his wife a couple times. :v: So weird to hear people you know of cited on a machete-centric podcast.

It's a good episode. Tides has done a few good episodes recently on COVID-19 and its historic parallels, definitely give the show a shot if you haven't listened before.

Yeah, 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 has been a motherfucker of a year. Thank you for putting out some drat good content- it doesn't fix everything being broken, but it makes things a little easier. Your episodes on the sackler family and the history of insulin, in particular, were drat good.

Also, good news for those bleach-ingesting folks! Now the president is on-board. :v:

The Segal episode is great not only because he's a stupid mini-trump, but primarily because seanbaby is a straight up funny guy. I wish he was on more stuff.


My favorite is still the ones about the Battle of Blair Mountain. Excellent episodes that really touch on just how brutal authority figures were in rural regions. Hell, still are in some cases.
