I completely missed that SMEGA_MAIL had made their own podcast thread while I was working on the OP for my own. So, here's the content from my OP before McNally gasses mine: Updated Regularly Lions Led by Donkeys: Apple Podcasts, Spotify An irreverent military history podcast led by Joe Kassabian. Mixed with equal parts shittalking humor, good research skills and great writing, Kassabian retells some of the biggest military blunders in a fun and compelling way. What a Hell of a Way to Die: Apple Podcasts, Spotify Two disgruntled Army vets talk about current events from the perspective of their service in a way that wouldn’t be out of place in our monthly CE thread. Popular Front: Apple Podcasts, Spotify Hosted by Jake Hanrahan, Popular Front looks different elements of modern conflict/war and brings on guests who are knowledgeable about the topic at hand. QAnon Anonymous: Apple Podcasts, Spotify Blending humor with excellent research skills and occasionally on the ground journalism, QAnon Anonymous has covered the whole QAnon bullshit since its inception. Now that Q hasn’t posted in months, the show has increasingly focused on following up on key players and the batshit insane directions this already batshit insane “movement” has taken. Behind the Bastards: Apple Podcasts, Spotify Hosted by potentially soon-to-be-former goon and current Special Activities Division operator (according to CSPAM I guess) Robert Evans, this show tells the story of some of the worst people in history, ranging from mere war criminals to modern tech bros. The Dirtbag Diaries: Apple Podcasts, Spotify Combining rich storytelling with a wonderful subject matter, the Dirtbag Diaries tells its listeners and contributors’ stories of outdoor adventures and mishaps in a fun and engaging way. You don’t have to be a backpacker, mountain biker, rafter or climber to appreciate this show, but it certainly helps. Reply All Apple Podcasts, Spotify A podcast that mostly deals about the intersection of technology and society, often in very funny ways. Recently underwent a major :hooboy: moment of its own but is now back to updating pretty regularly. The older material is still well worth listening to. Bikes or Death: Apple Podcasts, Spotify I hesitated to post this one given its somewhat niche subject matter, but if you’re into bikepacking or bike touring, this is a great podcast that not only has a lot of good information in it, but also features some of the biggest names in the sport right now talking with the host as if they’re old friends, and in many cases they are. Backpacker Radio: Apple Podcasts, Spotify A podcast all about backpacking and outdoor adventures. The hosts are decent, but the guest stars are where it really shines. Worst Year Ever: Apple Podcasts, Spotify Join host Robert Evans as he lends his years of experience as a grizzled SAD operator to his incredulous succdem lib cohosts as they dissect current events. This one can be hit or miss and frankly is more dependent on the quality of the guest than the interplay between the hosts, but more often than not, there are great perspectives and insider information offered here. Well There’s Your Problem: Apple Podcasts, Spotify A leftist podcast about engineering disasters. Admittedly this one hasn’t grabbed me as quickly as its high reviews suggest that it would, but the hosts seem to really know their poo poo. Updated Periodically Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History: Apple Podcasts, Spotify Recently described as not a podcast but an audiobook updated quarterly, Hardcore History tells the stories of history’s most cataclysmic events in a long, gripping and captivating way. Archival material goes back to 2013 and it’s definitely worth the listen if you have an interest in history. Q Clearance: Apple Podcasts, Spotify Hosted by Popular Front’s Jake Hanrahan, this show could be seen as the Cliffs Notes to QAnon Anonymous by looking at critical moments in the Q Anon saga. The first season examines the origin of Q Anon, the second season (ongoing as of late June 2021) looks at how diehard Q believers have been acting since the January 6 CHUD attack on the Capitol. Spooked Apple Podcasts, Spotify sSpoOooOokY stories about g-g-g-g-ghosts! Probably the best scary stories podcast out there, with listener submitted tails and excellent production values. Apparently there’s more content available if you pay for it via the Luminosity app, but what’s freely available is a lot of fun. Bundyville Apple Podcasts, Spotify A (to date) two-season podcast about the Bundy family and their intersections with/motivation of the far right in the US. Really good, albeit somewhat terrifying, listening. Scene on Radio: Apple Podcasts, Spotify This is a long-form podcast that examines a different topic in each of its four seasons (to date), including whiteness, masculinity and the entire concept of American democracy. This is thought-provoking and at times difficult to listen to, but it’s good stuff. c

Hyrax Attack! posted:Oh wow, on a similar note I listened to a podcast where an infosec auditing team was hired by a high tech company in the US to audit their factory security, and the team included a guy fluent in Chinese. While they were in the town in the middle of nowhere Midwest he went to a Chinese restaurant and looked at the menu in Chinese and saw they had black duck eggs. The guy realized no way a Chinese place in the middle of Nebraska or somewhere similar would offer something like that if they didn’t have ton of people from China in town all the time, and it wound up being a major espionage discovery with the FBI called in. Can now confirm that this show absolutely owns. This was a great recommendation.

maffew buildings posted:oh good I'm not depressed enough already, let's listen to this Robert Evans tries to pull an “but it’s not all hopeless!” take but it comes across as grasping at straws compared to the magnitude of the problems he illustrates. Also the new episode of Darknet Diaries is a healthy dose of  with the Benny Hill theme playing in the background. Consider it a must listen.

Crime Story is a podcast about, well, crime. But it's well produced and done in a pretty compelling and interesting way,. I'm not much of a fan of the whole true crime genre but the few episodes available for this show were interesting listens.

I randomly came across Old Gods of Appalachia and a day later I’ve binged through 16 episodes. It’s a horror anthology podcast with fantastic narration, sound design and storytelling. Would definitely recommend if you’re into things like this- I’m not much of a fiction enthusiast but I am severely hooked on this podcast now.

There's a somewhat new podcast called "I'm From the Internet" which is the history of SA's most famous/infamous sagas. It's SUPER worth a listen- the first episodes include Muerte's Walk Across America, the Hawaii yoga retreat/death camp, and most recently, THE JOOSE. The hosts are goony but do a pretty great job of reconstructing the stories and reading the best posts from said threads. I linked to the main hosts' website above, but you can find it on Apple Podcasts and I think Spotify as well.

Hyrax Attack! posted:Oh neat, to confirm is this different than the other SA saga podcast that folk figured out had been started by someone who had been perma’d? Honestly I have no idea. I don’t think so but I don’t really keep up with goon drama aside from when it gets really funny. When was this other podcast first released? I think this one started up late last year.
