There's gotta be a ton of us addicted to #podcasts on here y/y? Mine are:
@phire I'm a total addict and always binge like mad on a Sunday. So far I've listened to The Guilty Feminist, News Roast, Maeve In America and The Adam Buxton Podcast, and a few of my favourite old episodes of The Parapod are cued up for the afternoon.
@jackmottram those are al new to me! I will have to check them out. (Can you see the screenshots I included or no?)
@phire Yessssss, Song Exploder and Oh No Ross and Carrie are two of my personal faves.
@brandon I have never heard of ONR or Carrie!! Good tips!
@phire ONRAC can get a li'l heavy at times, there are a few moments when they study Scientology that are kinda icky, but also THEY STUDIED SCIENTOLOGY WHAT?!
@phire how is my brother my brother and me not on there
@myles I've tried them so many times and I just can't get into them?? Which really annoys me because LMM is a huge fan and does a bunch of exclusive content for them and :(
@ardgedee I included two screenshots but it seems like only some purple can see them ??
OKAY so how many of you can see the screenshots on the ^ post?? Is it only people on my instance??
@phire don't remove the link
@phire Maybe? I can't see them from icosahedron :worried:
@phire oh weird. no, i couldn't see a screenshot. it's like there was nothing attached over here at mastodon.social
@phire I'm not seeing them on the timelines (here in octodon.social), but if I go to your full page I can see them
UGH it seems like the answer is yes. Okay for real, my top #podcasts:
Kermode and Mayo (movies), Friday Night Comedy, Answer Me This, My Dad Wrote a Porno, Pop Culture Happy Hour, What's The Point (stats/big data), Another Round (culture/ comedy), 2 Dope Queens (comedy), No Such Thing As A Fish (trivia), My Favorite Murder (true crime), Infinite Monkey Cage (science), Code Switch (social justice), Still Processing (ibid), Slate Money, Switched On Pop (music), Lingthusiasm (language)
*takes deep breath*
Reply All (internet culture), Myths and Legends, Invisibilia (psychology), Colour Code (race in Canada), More Perfect (history of law), Black Tapes (fiction), Limetown (fiction)
okay that's most of them will take further recs for #podcasts
@phire I've really been enjoying Sudipta Bhawmik's "Stories of Mahabharata". Just like it sounds: a podcast where he retells individual stories from the Indian epic. It's somewhere between straight story telling and an audio drama (one voice, but sound effects and other atmospheric touches). #podcasts
@phire How about Tanis. Similar to Black Tapes and is more current. Black Tapes seems to be in an extended hiatus which is a drag.
@phire I'm all in on Important If True and Idle Thumbs. Usually all I have time for. I'll list those for a theoretical future day, though!
@deathmtn Both of those sound great! Thanks!!
@phire The History of the English Language podcast really fed my dormant etymology nerd feels
@phire I subscribe to a lot of mostly video game related junk, but these days my must listens are Waypoint podcast (video gaming featuring Austin Walker), and Something True (odd history monologue, hosted on Idle Thumbs network). Mystery Show (Starlee Kine solving mysteries) is done and dusted but its great IMO (I can see how some may be put off by TAL/twee-ness, but not me), if you're not familiar. Also like what I've heard of Within The Wires, narrative by Night Vale people iirc.
@phire also want to chime in and ditto Limetown is fantastic for anybody else wandering through looking for recs
@phire I like The Memory Palace (history), Snap Judgment (storytelling), Longform (interviews with writers)
@phire i'm old school. I usually keep it radioLab, some NPR stuff, but I haven't wondered further away from those.
@phire Probably, I should spend more time on grammar checks before hitting the toot button. This comes with experience, but yeah. RadioLab, and NPR are my go to places for podcasts along with some less than reputable groups on Soundcloud that I'm too embarrassed too publically admit being subscribed to. @_@. I looked at your list, thanks for posting it. Shall go and explore some of it now.
@phire y???
