Jon Ronson's The Butterfly Effect - a 7 part series about tech and the porn industry
Welcome to The Butterfly Effect. It's sort of about porn, but it's about a lot of other things. It's sad, funny, moving and totally unlike some other nonfiction stories about porn - because it isn't judgmental or salacious. It's human and sweet and strange and lovely. It's a mystery story, an adventure. It's also, I think, a new way of telling a story. This season follows a single butterfly effect. The flap of the butterfly's wings is a boy in Brussels having an idea. His idea is how to get rich from giving the world free online porn. Over seven episodes I trace the consequences of this idea, from consequence through to consequence. If you keep going in this way, where might you end up? It turns out you end up in the most surprising and unexpected places. So if you're thinking, why do I want to listen to a show about the tech takeover of the porn industry, I have two things to say: 1. Why wouldn't you want to listen to a show about the tech takeover of the porn industry? That's a great idea for a show. 2.

At the end of Episode 3 a woman becomes convinced that she played a part in a murder committed by an Italian priest. At the end of Episode 4 a boy in Oklahoma is forced to move to a house on the very, very edge of his town -
If you've ever wondered what its like to receive a massive electric shock which causes you to lose a hand, two ribs and a testicle then be diagnosed with testicular cancer then wonder no more. This podcast will cover all that.

Yeah - I never knew till recently that he was the author of "The Men Who Stare At Goats". He seems like a person who likes finding rabbit holes and jumping into them not knowing where they will end up

@stockcar86 the book is completely different to the movie , there’s mention of project ultra and the 9/11 bombers in it . Well worth getting your hands on, he snuck into Bohemian Grove with Alex Jones in the late 90s . It’s on the most recent podcast.

No such thing as a fish
A weekly podcast from the QI research team. 4 of them each have a interesting fact of the week, and they then riff of each others facts to fill a 30 minute podcast in front of a live audience each week. Funny, and informational.
Up to 191 episodes now, so a good backlog to work through if you like it.

ha!! I mentioned that about 6 months ago. I've seen them record the podcast, and their BBC TV spin off, So Such Thing as the News. Both excellent.
Incidentally, they're coming to New Zealand next year, worth checking out for sure.

Ever wonder about the story behind the M60 tank police chase in San Diego?
It involved a suburban backyard goldmine and a lot of meth.
@jegga Tim put me onto Dollop with this gem.

The latest Episode One is a pretty good parody of music critics. Black Flanders and Seasonal Depression Candle are pretty decent parody songs.
