S-Town and other great podcasts

[Phelia]

Has anyone else listened to S-Town? Just finished and wow, I loved it. Grips you by the heart.

Not quite Serial (season one, obv), but should appeal to the same crowd.

Other podcast recos? Mama got a long ride to work.

Two of my faves:

The Adam Carolla Podcast
Reasonable Doubt

I'm unsure of what a podcast is, where I would listen to one, or what I would do with my eyes when listening.

I'm just here to lick my eyebrows and smile at FeelYa.

if paul f tompkins is involved i'll give it a listen if i'm bored, but i'm not a podcast guy. i just like paul f tompkins. he's a funny fucker. he's also been on like every other podcast that has ever existed, so that's something.

also, bring back no, you shut up.

not you, but, you know, whoever can make that happen needs to make it happen. that show was the shit.

 

[BabblingBrooke]

I really enjoyed season 1 of Serial and S-Town. Criminal is also very good (shorter episodes, too, which can be nice at times). Right now I'm listening to Suspect Convictions.

 

[Libsam]

Stefan Molyneux
I love listening to this guy!!

 

[Not Normal]

Marc Maron's WTF is good. I've only listened to a few, but I like him in general

There's a drummer podcast called I'd Hit That, which I like, but I'm not sure you'd be into it.

This.

 

[Emerson40]

I enjoyed Homecoming, The Black Tapes, TANIS, and recently started RABBITS, for serials.

I subscribe to Ted Talks, WTF, The Moth, LORE, and Tell Me Something I Don't Know, and a small handful of food related podcasts.

Malcolm Gladwell's Revisionist History was a good listen.

Other than those, I mostly search a topic or person, download them and listen.

The Joe Rogan Podcast is an interesting podcast.

How's life in Savage Manor? Run into any camels lately? Please say yes!!!

Thanks for your lack of faith in me, you piece of shit. Now I'll never bring it back!!!! And I've had the power all along!

I'm not too familiar with Paul F, actually, but I love anyone who had anything to do with Mr. Show. Didn't even recognize him! Is there a stand-up show or particular interview you'd recommend I start with?

I really enjoyed season 1 of Serial and S-Town. Criminal is also very good (shorter episodes, too, which can be nice at times). Right now I'm listening to Suspect Convictions.

Season one of Serial was so so so good. I felt a little territorial when it became such a hit because I've been a true crime junkie for ages. I caved and started listening to it on a flight to Europe and spent my whole first day wandering around the streets of Paris with Sarah Koenig in my ears, because I just couldn't bear to stop.

Suspect Convictions sounds right up my alley! I'm re-listening to S-Town now. The opening sentences and the overarching metaphor are so well constructed. Beautiful and heartbreaking.

Stefan Molyneux
I love listening to this guy!!

Hmmm. Just tried to watch a vid of his and I'm not sold. I don't think I'm up for another "I'm the most right-est!" yapfest right now. I find there's usually only a few minutes of genuinely interesting material and the rest is just padding to make it long enough to sell ads against.

Thank you for the recommendation, though. Maybe I just found a dud interview - let me know if there's one you love and think I should check out instead.

Like talk radio, it's good for times when you cannot dance and don't want to sing. Sometimes driving, cooking something that needs attention. I am not so into them, but I am trying more because some can be really super

I haven't listened to all that many but like you, have found the super ones to be really super. It can be really nice to hear voices and not be distracted with pictures, let your mind be the canvas.

Also I'm sitting on the road about three hours a day four days a week now, so they're pretty much perfect for that (especially because working on my laptop makes me nauseous).

Oh wow treasure trove list! Thank you, Emerson! Tell Me Something I Don't Know has me most excited by title alone. I'm downloading Stitcher now and will queue up a few of these guys.

The Joe Rogan Podcast is an interesting podcast.

Meh, see above. Everything I've seen from him has this smugness and certainty of his own rationality and enlightenment. They go on and on about facts and evidence but pepper in subjective arguments.

...

I moved to remote WVa a year ago. No camels that I've seen so far but lots of other critters.

Speaking of camels: If you ever see a camel with no humps, rest assured his name is Humphrey.

bastard.

anyway, random paul f tompkins standup bit: peanut brittle

new dads

the second one is off his freak wharf album which i love though laboring under delusions is also great.

and he is in a shitload of podcasts. i wasn't kidding about that. he's been on comedy bang bang quite a bit. also, others.

oh and he's mr. peautbutter.

anyway, more caffeine. brain needs energy.

 

[Christobal]

I have heard about it and I am interested. Where do I find it?

 

[Emerson40]

Lately I have been listening to interview-type podcasts, where authors, chefs, business leaders, etc speak on their approach to their craft / tasks, their motivations, and anecdotes about obstacles and hardships, and how they overcame these to get to the top of their profession.

I found a few interviews with Ania Ahlborn, a great horror author that Fata mentioned, and after reading a couple of her books I was interested in how she developed and fleshed out her characters.

This morning I finished the first of a two-part interview with her on the This Is Horror Podcast, and my god, the two guys who do the podcast... imagine a retainer-wearing Ozzy Osbourne (today’s Ozzy, all mumbly and scatterbrained) and the most bumpkinny of the two American Pickers hosts, meets the two SNL radio hosts of The Delicious Dish (Schweddy Balls), conducting an interview. LOLs a plenty.

Ania was brilliant, and spoke on self-publishing, her approach to writing, writing for yourself (not critics or fans), and the importance of creating relatable characters - protagonist and antagonist alike - so the reader is drawn into the story.

Check it out if you’re interested in hearing an author speak to the craft of writing, constructing compelling characters and story, and not just promoting their latest work. Enjoy the bonus laughter you're sure to experience when you hear some of the tangents the hosts accidentally stumble down.

Looking forward to listening to Part 2.

i tend to listen to murder

are you interested in murder?

 

[Bookishleigh]

I was super happy that I got to hear My Favorite Murder in Indianapolis today. Murder and humor all while making fun of my city

I do NPR First every morning, which is 10 to 13 minutes of news in the world - although this morning it was all Comey.

Season 2 of Alice Isn't Dead started back up recently (same people who did Welcome to Night Vale).

And pretty much all the same murder stuff as LTR.

I am so glad I saw this. I was staying up at night worrying about that exact situation happening, and not knowing what the camel's name is. I'm saved!

Remote sounds fun. I hope you're enjoying it!

This sounds fabulous! Retainer-wearing Ozzy Osborne. Love it! I realized in discussing S-Town with friends who didn't enjoy it like I did that podcasts feel kind of like hanging out, so part of it is just liking who you're listening to. This group sounds very endearing, and I do enjoy hearing talented people discussing their approach to craft.

Plus, Fata. Thanks Emerson!

Did you ever listen to Harris' Foam Corner? That shit cracks me up. RIP

Deeply! I am a total freak. True crime = GIMME DAT. I love last podcast on the left - I think I heard about it here? Maybe from you? I love being terrified, and also giggling.

Bless you, tassel sister!

Welcome to Night Vale! You know, I never scratched the surface there. That's a great recommendation. Praps I'll start with Alice Isn't Dead. The name grabs me.
