Some more personal recommendations:

Candy Girl

Experience the real-life journey of the most cripplingly unself-aware woman in Minneapolis through the world of sexhibitionism. Guest starring the aforementioned Lemon of the F-Plus.

Treacherous Love

A Mormon woman made a career off of fabricating journals of troubled teenagers. This is one about a girl who starts dating a teacher and hanging out with a drug smoker named Sarah Silverman (not that Sarah Silverman). Guest starring Mara Wilson, aka that girl what was Matilda in that movie, Matilda.

On The Brink

Ben Stein wrote a thriller. The primary antagonist is inflation, and not the fetishy kind you find on DeviantArt. Guest starring Jeb Lund, that guy who used to post on SA but now he writes for the Guardian so everyone on SA hates him, and Rocky Swift, an actual economist.

The Eye of Argon

An infamously terrible piece of amateur fiction submitted to a short story contest in the 70s. Guest starring K. Thor Jensen.

A Super Sad True Love Story

Imagine Lolita if we were supposed to empathize with Humbert and Lolita was actually a duplicitous slut, and also cringeworthy social commentary. Guest starring Poncho Martinez.

The continuing saga of Wild Animus has to be my favourite reoccurring part of the podcast.

Go to your local thrift shop, your library, look in your crawlspace, check under your pillow

chances are there's a copy of Wild Animus in each of these places

IDEOTV has introduced me to Sunday School Drop Outs, which is a fun little progression through something I'd never have the wherewithal to actually read through myself, and You Must Remember This, probably my favorite non-joke'em'up podcast.

I just listened to the Forerver Phucked, and the image that it painted, of a grown-rear end woman talking to man's penis and saying, ''I''ll suck you later" made me burst out laughing in public.

The bit about how he considers his penis a separate person was also incredible, if only for how common it seems to be in trash bag romance novels.

It's dumber than that - it was originally named "aluminum" by Humphrey Davy, who was British. Then other Brits later decided that it didn't sound enough like a metal, so they added a letter. It's extremely silly, given that none of them had any problem with "platinum".

Jay has a spiel in the latest backer ep about "I used to waste so much time performatively hating things for peer approval" and LOL. "Used to"? I love this podcast but wish the hosts would do about one-third as much smug chuckling about how enlightened they are every time something sexist or racist comes up. The way they relish the opportunity is as obvious as a naked dick flapping in the wind.

Collision, earlier in the episode: "There's this disease where everyone thinks they're a comedian. I think it's called (beat) having a penis!" Tell me more about this strange land you live in where opinionated women are a rarity, "dude". Like the snark of Spin circa '94 isn't exactly what I see when I open up Bust, Jezebel, Reductress, etc. today.

I'm sorry people don't laugh at your jokes

Woof, that Timeline ep was a miss. I really don't like their recent trend of picking more well-known books that aren't really outrageous enough to be entertaining to just describe and dissect on their own and then also forgetting to make jokes and just taking potshots at the author and readers instead.

Like, I know that Michael Crichton was a hack with some weird hang-ups but pointing that out over and over isn't really entertaining or why I started listening to this podcast, no matter how many :iceburn:s about nerds they drop while doing it.

I thought you started listening to this podcast because you were running out of things to complain endlessly about on this website.
