Evening all.

I'm looking for some new podcasts to get into. I've already trawled through TANIS, The Black Tapes, Welcome To Night Vale, et al. Any and all suggestions welcome.

Thanks.

no comedy bang bang? sick fucks.

and that's about it, really. though, with special guest, lauren lapkus is also amusing.

and i'm thinking about getting into paul f tompkins podcast because i love him, but i haven't done it yet.

mainly because he's on like every third episode of comedy bang bang, so why bother?

and that's all i got. my interest in the whole podcast thing is still fairly recent and i just like the funny shit.

ooh, i'm glad i edited in the link. i didn't know there was a new one.

Nothing new to suggest that isn't already well known or boringly wonkish, but I'll second the earlier suggestion of 'S-Town' anyway. Just one of the most beautiful listens ever...

this is what i currently subscribe to 🠅🠅🠅

How did I miss all of these? Adding as many as my phone will allow...

Most of these are on my list too; others from the same 'Pod Save America' people are very good too. 'Missing Maura Murray' was excellent, if understandably sad.

If true crime is your thing, 'Untold: Daniel Morgan" tells a story well.

Hey, LTR, did you know Amazon's turning "Lore" into a TV series?

Fantastic! I just subscribed to it. I have a shitastic commute to and from work every day so I try to mix it up between an audiobook and podcasts.

Someone suggested "S-Town."

Likewise, currently in the audiobook phase. The saner choice over mindnumbing boredom, eye contact and conversation with strangers, other such savagery

There is sometimes a middle world - podcasts about audiobooks. I am sure they exist.

But at work I find I have to switch to music. I find I miss too much because I do actually focus on the work and not what I'm listening to.

you fuckers just hate laughing, don't you?

I'm planning to make a website about podcasts about audiobooks, created on Squarespace while sustaining myself on Blue Apron meals, then wait for the whole concept to collapse in on itself

Anything more taxing than putting one foot in front of the other ruins my focus on a book; painting the house for days on end recently was also mindless enough for my brain to stay with the books. Except the last Ian Mcewan one...watching the paint dry would have been more fun :/

you fuckers just hate laughing, don't you?

It only distracts me from counting down the days until the sweet release of death...

I tried that but apparently the one guy's impressions (especially during the Albert Fish ones) caused some interesting facial expressions on my part and people kept stopping by to see if I was okay.

I mean he just sounds so.....gooely disturbing

Hmm, judging by your posts I know WHICH podcasts to avoid now.

You planning on getting on this side before Canada gets wise and builds its own wall?

Hey I'm multifaceted and have my intellectual moments...my problem is that then I'll say something else

Joe Rogan is refreshing because he's one of those social commentators, except he always keeps an open mind and has a strange potpourri of guests without any of the shrieking politics seeping into it. Breath of fresh air listening to an actual dialogue these days.
