I'm in Japan and I exclusively get ads for I Heart Radio shows, including, not infrequently, Behind the Bastards.

For a while I thought it was a long con joke that the ad breaks for products and services contained no ads for products or services, just other podcasts.

Is it acceptable to discuss Worst Year Ever here? I listened to the recent episode on Qanon and the guest was supposedly an expert on aum shinrikyo. She was supposed to connect it to Qanon but overall the guest felt like a real dud, for some reason she seemed uninterested in discussing her work.

She kind of seemed offended to be asked questions about it, like everyone should already know the answer. I didn't think it was a good interview either.

This was me for like two years, I thought it was a running joke that there were no products or services but just podcast ads.

Now they're running a Safe Auto ad which is the worst thing on Earth and I can't listen to the podcast unless I'm in a position to skip it, otherwise I'll die. And today there was a dick pill ad so Robert's finally arrived as a podcaster.

Yeah you don't have to listen to them all. I'm slowly making my way backwards.

You do want to catch all the Wacky Wednesday eps, they're named differently so they're easy to find. This is a playlist of the Project Camelot ones. https://www.podchaser.com/lists/project-camelot-saga-knowledge-fight-107a4XhxIo

I think I had heard Dave mention that China had been stockpiling Russian fertilizer for months ahead of the invasion, which would fit into his theory that the world governments knew about it ahead of time

And this is one of those things that doesn't require a conspiracy--everyone who wasn't a shill was pretty sure Putin was going to attack Ukraine sometime last year, wheat futures started reflecting that back in like October, India started building up export capacity, the whole agriculture world was prepping for it. The people who were caught offguard when it happened were the idiots believing Russian propaganda. World governments did know about it. Most of what the US said in the leadup turned out to be correct, they were clearly getting intelligence from inside the Russian government. Turning that into a conspiracy is stupid.
