Your favorite podcasts, non-music edition

ok shit "hello from the magic tavern" is transcendent

despite the host reminding me so much of tom scharpling that it's distracting. it's a show that i kind of can't believe matt berry ISN'T on. limmy should be on it too.

Other podcasts I tried recently that I did not like:

The Message
Digits
My Dad Wrote A Porno
Death Sex & money
Comedy Bang Bang
Reply All

ha ha Did you listen to the ILX episode of Reply All?

that one was GREBT obv

I've weeded out almost all comedy podcasts from my subscription list, since I think I only enjoy them when I'm binging a couple years' worth of them. Of course now that everybody's putting their 6 months or older stuff behind a paywall I'm not likely to go back and catch up.

pretty evenly split between politics (Crooked Media podcasts, mostly), sports (Bill Simmons, the Lowe Post, the Bill Barnwell Show) and laffs (Filmdrunk Frotcast and the $600 Podcast).

I'm listening to the Black Tapes Podcast - supposed to build into a Lovecraftian turn later on but six episodes in it's just sort of Unsolved Mysteries: NPR Edition.

Can't tell if I find the dialogue horribly staged and acted or if it's actually dead on and the Serial/Radiolab-style is just that bad.

there's a podcast called "containers" all about shipping containers but i'm not really sure it'll tell me more than the great bbc four doc i watched on the same subject a couple of years ago. still that sort of thing is "my jam."

there are some truly awful podcasts out there. the anna faris one. the guilty feminist. the outline world dispatch.

I was about to become the very last person in the world to check out "My Dad Wrote A Porno" but the 'about' page has just put me off it completely. It is the most off-putting 'about' page I have ever seen, it not only makes me hate this podcast I haven't heard, but also all other podcasts, all other media, and life in the 21st century in general.

Big fan of Ben Rodgers' new podcast The Rodge Tapes. Talking with other Earwolf adjacent comedians about some obscure movies from the 80s/90s.
