Good podcasts

@jegga yeah that was a good one.
The one about the news reporter falsely remembering being in combat opened my eyes to how flawed our memories are, something I've noticed getting older as the family reminisce. A lot of genuine but false recollections.
He was a bit shrill when dissecting college footballers and cte but the data seemed pretty clear.
Anyway thanks jeg, all good

Volume up for this one:

Alright fuckers. Only just discovered this thread so buckle in.
I had a podcast I ran that went to #1 in new and noteworthy in 6 different countries and have helped 100s of people create podcasts. Mine was ok just interviewing young entrepreneurs. Have finished the show after 185 episodes but am about to release a new one for where i am pivoting with business.
Here are my favorites
- Tim Ferriss Podcast - A better version IMO ofJoe Rogans. I havent listened in a while due to changing between audio books and training programs but loved his ones with Tony Robbins, Jamie Foxx, Arnold.
- Startup Podcast- From the founder of Gimblet media start with season one its great. The season following the american appreal guy is the next best
- Seriel - Because yeah
- The Pitch - From the creators of startup. Kind of like shark tank with less filler and ads
- My favorite show is called Reply All - Again from the creators of startup. This is called a show about the internet has lots of random well produced stories of random shit. To get a taste of the show I would start with Episode 102 called long distance. Its a two part episode. If you like that you will love the series
- Also don't mind from time to time the show called ' the top' interviews startup owners and goes into all their numbers etc, smart passive income by pat flynn is ok as well depending on the episode.
- ESPN 30 for 30 podcast is good. The one about Bikrim yoga is interesting then they interview lots of the creators of the different docos
- Science vs : Probably my second favorite podcast. Takes controversial topics and compares what science actually says about this eg antivax, organic food, gun laws.

The Teacher’s Pet is hugely popular here in Oz, about a missing person/murder, a former Newtown Jets player, and teachers having sex with students in the early 80s. But, I'd advise against listening to it.
The story is actually really interesting but unfortunately, I think it’s one of most poorly made podcasts I have ever listened to. The presenter has a kind of dry speaking style, in fact he’s like the Oz version of The Black Hands guy, but that’s not the issue. It’s desperately in need of some structure. The episodes jump around with no focus and lots talking heads who are often indistinguishable. Stuff is repeated over and over again or one talking head will be abruptly cut off and they’ll go to another one speaking about a completely different topic. There’s a theme running through it about Police incompetence but 12 episodes in and they haven’t really delved into it.
In this day and age with Serial etc a bar has been set, most podcasts don’t reach it, but the good ones get close by having a focus that Teacher’s Pet lacks.
The worst thing about it was that I was about 7 episodes in before realising just how much it was annoying me and now I’m stuck listening to be a completist – and the story is really interesting when you sift through the rubbish.
@Magpie_in_aus I like Science vs - but has it finished for a second time?

@jegga I haven't got to Revolutions yet because I have started on his "The History of Rome" as I did a bit of Classics and Ancient History at Uni (yeah yeah "but Dogmeat it would have been Modern history when you did it")
I'm 42 episodes in - the disintegration of the 1st Triumvirate . 137 to go. Thoroughly entertaining. Very dry sense of humour Great stuff Thanks
-
@dogmeat I didn’t know he did a series on Rome , will check it out though . Dan Carlin’s podcast about Caesar got me interested.
His revolutions podcast about how Europe formed up to what it is now is interesting. I haven’t finished it yet though.

Outside magazine have some cool podcasts , I’ve been working my way through them ,

@nepia said in Good podcasts:
@jegga Are there any standouts/good openers to start on with the Revolutions podcast or is it all good to start from Ep 1?
I started at 7:30 , as a lead into the revolutions of 1848 at 7:31 on. I had no idea it was such an influential year in Europe.

@nepia said in Good podcasts:
@jegga 7:30 - that's awesome, lots to go through (assuming they're good of course).
Post your thoughts on it .
I see this guys done a new series, I really enjoyed his ones on Custer, Roosevelt and the conquistadors
EPISODE 36 The 47 Ronin (Part 1) — History on Fire
“Death poems Are a delusion. You just die.” — Zen monk Kanzawa Toko The tale of the 47 Ronin is one of the most renowned revenge tales to ever come out of Japan. It is the subject of countless books, plays, and movies. It is also a story that has ignited never-ending debates. Some people

Ok, so I started Revisionist History and Revolutions.
I much prefer Revisionist History as the Revolutions guy way of speaking annoys me and unlike others on the thread Gladwell doesn't.
Started with the foot soldier of Birmingham - although I actually thought the story was well known, and then Saigon but will now listen to them in order.
@Bones I'm taking a break from those types of podcasts now (true crime style) but will keep the first ep in my library for when I listen to them again.

Never thought I'd see a Luis Gomez podcast mentioned in the Herald:
A British comedian who had a friendship with Asia Argento claims the actress sent him at least one unsolicited topless video.
Jeff Leach was appearing on the Legion of Skanks podcast when he shared this story during a discussion about the arrest of Harvey Weinstein just days prior on charges of rape and assault.

That was s good episode, no one has really touched on the craziness of Rose McGowan .
The one with Michael Malice where they discuss the atrocity that is Hannah Gadsby is very good too -

Was Tim Dillon on that one too? He's generally good value. I'll have to check it out.
