presumably done aty the time of teh previous magazine editions cover feature. Gave a history of teh band in an interview with a central member. I need to find my copy of teh magazine which disappeared into a pile of things when i got it and i've been too busy reading other books etc to retrieve since. & there's a new edition out at the moment.NOt sure how frequent the podcast is going to be but that first episode was quite good.

There has been a stink kicked up this week after Ben Shapiro turned up unannounced at the Podcast Movement industry event, the event apologised, then one of the organisers tweeted his disagreement with the apology. There's a summary here:https://thisisthesqueeze.substack.com/p/podcast-movements-identity-crisisWhat pisses me off about events like PM is that they are so nakedly sales/ad-focused that any coverage of art/craft/culture/criticism is apparently absent. Here is the start of their blog post on Shapiro Day for example
The first full day of PM22 has been packed with insights – more below. In-person attendees, be sure to join us at Lit Lounge for this evening's party sponsored by Wondery. We’ve got free specialty cocktails, custom-printed podcast merch, and a DJ until 11:00.“Live, host-read ads perform the best,” according to After These Messages, a new Sounds Profitable study presented yesterday by Tom Webster. Quality scripted or programmatic ads work almost as well, and Webster recommends mixing host and announcer-read ads in a campaign. The important thing is that the ad fits the show – do not “violate the listeners’ earballs.” The research is free to download.Put a bit of your content on TikTok as soon as possible, suggested Gabriel Soto in this morning’s Edison Research keynote. A third of Americans have used the app at this point. Another key takeaway, louder (quieter?) for those in the back: We need to take care of the podcast ad experience to avoid driving audiences away. Eardrum-rupturing ad volume has got to go.

Well looks like they've taken a side, what a surprise.
As we stated, we’re continuing to evaluate our policies guiding social media & events with inclusivity, diversity & respect for all. We have to start by sincerely apologizing to Mr. Shapiro for our reaction when he visited a booth we sold his company. That wasn’t right. https://t.co/McxG9Ay0LT— Podcast Movement (@PodcastMovement) September 8, 2022

In brighter news, been listening to and enjoying Sam Fragoso's Talk Easy for the first time, though it looks like it's been around since 2016. The usual suspects as guests (Ethan Hawke, Lena Dunham), but especially good interviews.

Jeremy Corbyn on Martyn Ware's normally Electronic music showhttps://open.spotify.com/episode/2nauoGJpFKYjbFcZttwmm2?si=01bd9681668548f0
Only part of the way through it but it is pretty interesting so far. Haven't been aware of what Corbyn's taste was like before.& I think the political stuff he's talking about is more art/personal maybe that was what he was about as much anyway.

am becoming a big fan of Jamie Loftus. she has a podcast about spiritualism and one about Mensa.. i think she's brilliant.
she read every Cathy strip ever published and then did a podcast about it with actors re-enacting selecting strips, interviews w Cathy Guisewite etc

I've been listening to "Lonesome Jack" for years. He puts together solid mixes, although he has a bizarre and unfortunate affection for truly shitty modern country music. Example: this week's episode features "John Deere Green" by Joe Diffie.

Opening Arguments/Cleanup on Aisle 45 imploded over the last few weeks. Looks like the latter is picking itself up with new co-presenter.OA has appeared in the feed with new co-presenter too but old one complaining on short message on his other show's feed. Looks like he lost the co-presenter of that to main scandal. So he's changing direction with that in near future.

Cleanup on Aisle 45 is related to Daily Beans, which I listen to almost daily. Isn't Pete Strzok Allison's new co-presenter?

yeah, if he's started. They moved off Spotify so I have to make a conscious effort to play them on their own website. Normally just play through a queue on Spotify.

There’s one advantage which Spotify has over Apple, and that’s adding clickable links to the episode notes: we need them on ours in order to direct people to playlists of the tracks we discuss in each episode, and they’re also handy for social media links.

Apple Podcasts allows clickable links in show notes.
My biggest beef with it is that it does not offer many options for constructing playlists, unlike, say, Pocket Casts, which lets you set up all kinds of filters and has many useful default ones, e.g., unfinished episodes.

I’ve been enjoying “What Is Politics?” and “Fight Like An Animal” lately, both leftist shows that deal with a lot of materialist anthropology and psychology.

just wanna thank kingfish for this, "fight like an animal" became an immediate favorite. i've listened to most episodes at this point, some of them more than once. it has clarified my thoughts on a lot of things related to politics, activism, social organization, humanity in general...

i was hooked from the get go, he sets out his thesis in the first few episodes and then builds it out and explores various facets of it from there, but "genocidal mystics" or "what elephants can teach us about civil war" are early episode that might be a bit more approachable than the almost five hour three-part series he starts with. iirc he also gets a better mic at some point.
it's the kind of thing where you have to be interested in the content b/c the guy isn't an exceptional orator, he makes it clear he started podcasting as an expedient way to get his ideas out there and then was surprised at how much he enjoyed it. but he is a fascinating person with pretty incredible biographical details that trickle out in the course of him sharing what appears to be his life's work (e.g. raised in a cult, spent much of his life as a radical eco-activist, etc.)

I would personally recommend the eps Arnold recorded with Derick Varn of the Varn Vlog and Daniel from “What Is Politics?”, but I’m checking now if those chats are even available outside of paywall.

JUst discovered a podcast called Deep Focus which does look like it should be pretty i depth. Multiple 2 hour shows on artists a lot from the free jazz scene so place I'm starting is a 1hr 50 1st out of 3 episodes on William Hooker talking about Sunny Murray. Iwas looking up Loft Jazz on Spotify and couldn't see specific episodes on the scene so started going through artist names from the blurb for the book o the subject. Looks like it could be a treasure trove. Also covers people like Jeff beck, Jack Bruce and Steely Dan but loads 9n 60s/70s jazz by people who look like they should know a lot about things including William Hooker here.
The Books on Fire series on Caliban and the Witch which I am hoping to get to read soonish.Which in turn directed me to a series called Seeing White from a couple of years ago.
