Post by: I'm a Puppy! on December 08, 2016, 05:58:50 PM: Give me some Podcast suggestions!

Hardcore History Obviously very popular and sadly not updated often but Carlin has a good way of telling history (even with his flaws) but keeping it entertaining

Radiolab Good for your junk science needs

Serial Good if you don't like having an ending to your story

The WWII History Podcast (Ray Harris) I don't know what to think about this one. On one hand he's very thorough. On the other hand he's very thorough and that can get seriously boring. I think there's something like 170+ episodes. I got to about 60. Where he's not doing a day by day slog through some battle and is instead keeping things at an appropriately high level it's really rather good. I stopped because he was just so deep in minutiae that it was boring. This was right after he spent 19 episodes on July to early September 1940 where he'd literally talk about each day, and the air battles that day and what happened along with a tally of losses at the end of every day. Some might like that level of detail but it was too much for me. It didn't start off that way though. The first few episodes where thorough but not exhaustive. After this section of episodes it looked like he wasn't going back to summing things up. Again, some might like the level of detail. I just can't.

The Mystery Show Sadly cancelled after the first season (only 6 episodes) this was a really fun/quirky podcast where a reporter goes out and tries to solve inconsequential mysteries. A lot of fun. I was really disappointed when I found out it got cancelled after the first season.

Revolutions A good history podcast, not too detailed while not being too high level

Title: Re: Podcasts? Podcasts!
Post by: fistfulofmetal on December 08, 2016, 07:45:48 PM: I got a lot. Here's some:

True Crime stuff:

Sword and Scale - high production value podcast. Goes over a specific cases. Uses court and news audio inter-cut with police interviews and narration to detail the events. It's a very well made podcast about true crime. Runtime 1 hour
Generation Why - this one is a little more basic. it's just two guys discussing true crime cases (and sometimes paranormal stuff). They go back and forth explaining the case. It's fairly basic but it's a good listen. Runtime 1.5 hours
Criminal - This is more of an interview focused podcast. The host talks with a victim of a crime and discusses the various aspects. Runtime 20-30 minutes
Detective - Similar to Criminal, except they talk to cops. Runtime 20-30 minutes

Video game stuff:

Giant Bombcast - it's the Giant Bomb West guys. They talk about what they've been playing, the current news of games, and read listener emails. Runtime 2.5-3 hours
Giant Beastcast - it's the Giant Bomb East guys plus a guy from CNet. Similar to the Bombcast but they move between what they've been playing and news a little more fluidly. They also have a corrections section Runtime 1.5-2 hours
Retronauts - This was an old 1up podcast that's now it's own thing. Various video game journos talk about old games/game systems. Usually every episode is dedicated to a specific topic and they explain it's history. Runtime 1-1.5 hours
Waypoint Radio - this is Vice's new gaming website. Former Giant Bomb guys Austin Walker and Patrick Klepek and some new faces. It tried to be a little more nuanced in discussion about topics. Succeeds most of the time. Ruintime 45minutes-1hour

If you're into fiction here's some more:

Limetown

Post by: Mr Gilhaney on December 08, 2016, 09:25:25 PM: Hardcore History is great, and his other show Common Sense is fantastic as well. I also like American Life and Radio Lab, but the ones that are a bit less known:

The Last Podcast On The Left is easily my favorite podcast out there. Their themes ranges from serial killers, to hilarious conspiracies. It's all done with great humor and just a good take on things. They do real research but often with a funny angle to it all. I would recommend starting with a heavy hitter like Manson or Dahmer.

The other shows on the network that got last podcast, like roundtable of gentlemen, abe lincons top hat and brighter side are also good.

99% invisible it focuses on design and architecture, which sounds boring, but it's not. Trust me.

Criminal Very good podcast. I wish they would release more frequently and longer episodes, but it's really good.

Designer notes A podcast that is just a bunch of really long in depth interviews with game designers. Sid meier and Amy Hennig ones are particuarly good.

You are not so smart podcast. Basically just goes down a long list of fallacies and other dumb shit you tell yourself.

Sword and Scale can be decent, but the narrator annoys me to death. His constant whining about JUSTICE, and begging for donations, for what is really just him talking a bit of shit and then putting in interesting clips from youtube, is extremely annoying. But he often has some interesting topics and the clips that he eventually gets to, after crying about JUSTICE FOR THE FAMILIES AND VICTIMS, can be really good.

Post by: chronovore on December 08, 2016, 11:37:12 PM: I'm veering wildly back toward my tabletop RPG origins, so if you used to play D&D or Traveler, you might like this:
http://www.happyjacks.org
They have audio podcasts, and recently started doing live video broadcasting on Twitch as well. They started as a DM/GM advice podcast, then moved into Actual Plays for their campaigns. I really enjoy their Vampire the Masquerade AP. Disclosure: the main dude, Stu, is a friend of mine from college and part of my original GURPS group. /nerd

http://www.kenandrobintalkaboutstuff.com
KARTAS is also largely about RPGs, but has plenty of sections on books, film-festival movies, history, and food. Kenneth Hite is what happens if you stuff Tim Powers into a role-playing author instead of a novelist. The man is a walking library of weird knowledge, and only his steadfast skepticism keeps the trove of coincidences from becoming a full on conspiracy web. Robin D. Laws is the guy who wrote the GUMSHOE system and Hamlet's Hitpoints, which is core to 2nd (3rd?) wave RPGs where storytelling becomes core to roleplaying instead of the standard wargaming mechanics carrying over.

Post by: Cerveza mas fina on December 09, 2016, 01:00:57 AM: Here's the thing

Alec Baldwin interviews famous people/politicuans and goes beyond your usual US tv type interview. Only heard two podcasts so far but I like it a lot (Viggo Mortensen and Michael Stipe).

Arsecast

The best (only?) Arsenal podcast, listen to this every week. On friday its pre game banter and euro game recap, on monday recap of the weekend game.

Out of all recommendation thus far, I would recommend these two.
Title: Re: Podcasts? Podcasts!
Post by: VomKriege on December 09, 2016, 04:12:16 AM: Foreign Policy Editor's Roundtable (https://foreignpolicy.com/tag/the-e-r-podcast/) : Debated in the US politics thread. Insightful, short & synthetic on complex issues. David Rothkopf is a great host and there's just enough polite banter for the thing to not be too dry. Mainly focused on US foreign policy and world events.

Idle Thumbs Network (https://www.idlethumbs.net/shows) : Designer Notes has already been mentioned and I second it. I also like
- 3 Moves Ahead : Strategy game (computer & board) discussions with Rob Zacny, Troy Goodfellow & Dr. Bruce Geryk. The latter often has good interviews with board game designers.
- Idle Weekend : Videogame podcast with Rob Zacny and Danielle Riendeau (also at Waypoint now). It's a laid back podcast with a social conscience and I find Rob & Danielle to be sensitive & smart people. Trigger warning : Danielle is probably the type to be dubbed a "SJW".
- Idle Thumbs : VG podcast but from a mostly dev perspective (that's the dudes behind Firewatch) so they're not always thorough in submitting to the news.

Revolutions A good history podcast, not too detailed while not being too high level

Seconded, though I'd say it's a fairly detailed podcast as far as retelling the events go. It's a bit low on explaining and analysis.

For electronic music : Beats in Space, FACT Mixes, XL8LR podcasts. Some decent stuff on Resident Advisor too.

Post by: Purrp Skirrp on December 11, 2016, 03:19:30 PM: Norm Macdonald Live

Funniest podcast I've listened to (never bothered with the videos), but it's dead for now and most of the content is from 2013/14. Still worth going through IMO, and even when I thought a particular guest wouldn't be interesting Norm makes it worthwhile by goading them to tell some pretty memorable stories--be it truly heinous shit or interesting insights into the industry.

He put out 3 episodes in August/September, and I thought he was doing more but then his book came out and nothing's dropped since.

Love how he constantly shits on his advertisers too:

Title: Re: Podcasts? Podcasts!
Post by: Hitler Stole My Potato on December 11, 2016, 05:27:03 PM: Crimetown is the new one from Gimlet Media (the same ones behind The Mystery Show). It's like Serial meets Goodfellas. There's only a handful of episodes out right now but it's pretty fucking amazing to listen to. I think it's the #1 podcast on the appstore now.

Last Podcast On The Left is just balls out hilarious. Take the morbid content from Sword & Scale but strip away all the pretentiousness and add a heavy dose of Henry Zebrowski's lunacy. By far one of my favorite podcasts out there.

Post by: Dickie Dee on December 11, 2016, 11:28:12 PM: History of English (http://historyofenglishpodcast.com/)

History and linguistics starting with the original Indo-European language and working from there. I'm on episode 20 and there just getting to the Anglo-Saxons (old English)

It has etymologies for days, very interesting. Also really helps to make sense of the hodge-podge of a language.

Still on history of Rome, about 143 episodes in, I think there's 30 more or something. After that I gotta get to that Hardcore History one (btw, my favorite one was the one about the Anabaptists, when he takes small scope stuff and goes in dept he's at his best). I hear that Missing Richard Simmons or something like that, is supposed to be pretty good too.

Post by: Shuri on July 29, 2017, 01:56:08 AM: I used to really like The Final Level podcast with Ice-T, maybe it's a bit dated now because he would talk about what was in the news that week, and recent movies/videogames releases, but the two thirds of each show was dedicated to interviews with really interesting people. people from the music industry, comedians, stand up artists (There's an episode with Chris Rock), and lesser known people like club owners from the late '70 and early '80 with tons of stories about how it was back in the days. He even interviews super oldschool early rap artists that were kinda forgotten by time, so it's great stuff. He stopped doing them last year because he was working on bodycount album and he just had a new kid but I really hope that he's going to return one day.

He would also talk a lot about his movie/tv making experience and it was always bullshit free.

It's really interesting stuff, and Ice-T and his co-host Mick are hilarious.

I used to enjoy How did this get made about b-moveis but I started to get turned off after a while because it was obvious that sometimes some of the hosts (Even the main guy) had never really watched the movie or had just seen scenes on youtube, because they would get basic story line stuff completely wrong. The show kinda degenerated into a vanity thing for the main host and quality went down.

I really want to get into those history podcasts but man is the delivery in some of them soooo dry. I feel like I'm back in class.

I never really felt this from the show. . .but then again I only listen to the episodes that interest me, which is probably about 50% of them.

Revolutions A good history podcast, not too detailed while not being too high level

Been listening to this (the french revolution episodes to be specific) for the past 2 weeks on my commute. Thanks a lot for the recommend. Love this podcast

Post by: hampster on August 05, 2017, 05:36:48 PM: Is Cruncheons on archive.org ??? The borecast is up there

My favorite podcast these days is Talking Simpsons. They do a deep dive on each episode and get into excruciating detail about all the little jokes and reference on the show. It's a nice trip down memory lane and is filling in a lot of my 80s & 90s pop culture blind spots. Also, they've done two the Critic episodes :) I'm tempted to make this my first patreon to get the rest of the Critic episodes

I've been meaning to checkout the rest of the Laser Time podcasts

Post by: studyguy on October 25, 2017, 11:02:19 AM: Gonna give a s/o to The Magnus Archives, a fiction/horror podcast where the producers read one off stories in the form of statements made by the people who witnessed paranormal shit. It's all pretty self contained but there's a larger narrative to it all and the narration stacks up to even some of the best audiobooks I've read. Really good shit, they've got like 80 episodes out so far and the 3rd season is dropping real soon.

Spoopy shit.

Post by: ToxicAdam on November 06, 2017, 09:27:59 AM: If you are interested in music and the industry, one of the best podcasts I've heard is this one:

http://www.slate.com/articles/podcasts/hit_parade/2017/09/the_story_of_how_the_recording_industry_made_you_pay_a_premium_for_90s_hit.html

Charts the evolution of the "single" and how the greed of the 90's led to explosion of Napster and Itunes. I don't think I've ever come across a work that lays it out as well.

Wow Study, I gotta hand it to you. The first couple of episodes I was like :snore but I was like, "Eh, study said it was good. I'll stick with it." then after a few episodes :larry I just got to the end of season 1 tho :gladbron :ohhh :anhuld :dead :rejoice

Great recommendation.
Title: Re: Podcasts? Podcasts!
Post by: TVC15 on December 15, 2017, 02:55:13 AM: Magnus Archives is great in S1 and most of S2, but as S2 goes on, it becomes more closely tied to the continuity between the various stories and it became much less interesting to me. I dropped it after the S2 finale. It was great when it was great. I’ll never understand the ambition for serialization that some anthology-type projects seem to have.

(...but don’t let my opinion keep you from listening. The VA and writing are still great when it gets more serialized. It’s just not a direction I like.)

Title: Re: Podcasts? Podcasts!
Post by: VomKriege on July 17, 2018, 06:39:58 PM: Ads are so ubiquitous now in podcasts and often for the same hipster / niche services & brands; you wonder just how miserable the revenue must be for Hareeee's Razors or the likes to be showering so many podcasts with it (and why podcasts crams at least two or three of them in an hour or less).

I was gonna say I don't get the hard on for having the hosts say the copy text but it just struck me, speaking about cost, that it's probably because it's cheaper than producing an actual ad and sending the files.

The Cycling Podcast started this year to do this. They always had ads and sponsors but it was actual recordings. The production is OK and they flow decently (as much a commercial can), the advertisers are tangentially related to the sports -if only because they sponsor teams-, the style of music matches the ones used for intro and it involves some people (riders sometimes) speaking in heavy accents. It's not nearly as painful as the one where the hosts must play some terrible skit for a product they obviously don't know or use.

Lance Armstrong at least is advertising other brands than the usual suspects but it's still terrible. Can't take another shilling of some Aspen made cold brew coffee in cans.

Those are fun (some very much so, like hollow moon), but where they really shine is the ones about murderers.

Post by: Tasty on February 01, 2021, 09:17:25 PM: ~ Early 2021 Update ~

Recently resubscribed to Scriptnotes by John August (writer: Go, Big Fish, Charlie's Angels 1&2, Frankenweenie, that awuful Wonka remake) and Craig Mazin (The Hangover Trilogy, Scary Movies 3&4, Huntsman 2.)

I used to be subscribed about 4-5 years ago, but... This is shitty to say but I wasn't a super huge fan of their work (outside Go and maybe Scary Movie 3), so I didn't really consider their advice that strongly -- about on the level of various "how to" screenwriting blog posts and YouTube vids you'd find out there doing quick searches.

That all changed two years back when Mazin's Chernobyl became one of my favorite series ever, with impeccable writing I noticed from the start.

So now I'm subscribed to Scriptnotes Premium (https://scriptnotes.supportingcast.fm/) for the 400+ back episodes and extra bonus segments on new episodes. Not that you should blindly follow any advice you find, but I definitely feel like Scriptnotes has more than proven its worth to working (and prospective) screenwriters by this point. And several back episodes have already proven very insightful and useful.

I've also been going through Script Apart (https://www.scriptapart.com/), which is a podcast that interviews famous screenwriters using both the first draft and the final production draft of a movie they're famous for, and comparing and contrasting the two drafts. Sometimes useful, sometimes not, but overall it's always fascinating getting such different voices to talk about their processes.

I don't listen to every episode of the A24 Podcast but the recent episode with Tim Heideker and John C. Reilly about getting Moon Base 8 produced was fantastic. I'm not what you would call a fan of either man, or their typical styles of comedy, and I haven't even seen the show (it was just on my radar because of Mike Stoklassa), but yeah, A24 is good stuff and that episode was great.

Sardonicast has become my primary "entertainment" podcast. Love those laughable idiots.

Last Podcast on the Left is still Spotify-exclusive to the detriment of the overall podcast ecosystem -- bye boys. :nope Don't even remember what they sound like anymore.
