@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.

@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

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.

Their sister podcast "Real Ass Podcast" had Nick Mullen and Tim Dillon on to talk about it too:

Michael Malice
He was out of place on LoS but he makes some great content. I expect he’ll get a lot more popular now his interview show isn’t behind the Cumia paywall.
He has a book out next May on the new right which should be very good (interviewed the correct people, familiar with the various internet cultures, happened to be in right place for some big stories) -
@duluth you’re right , he was interesting on Rogan talking about what North Korea is really like and other shitholes he’s visited . He didn’t talk about any of that on los , still good to hear Hannah Gadsby being talked about in such an excoriating way .
Is his other book good?
Re Rose MCGowan I see she’s turned on that Argento creature . Her fan army have already harassed her former manager horribly and she committed suicide so I’d say they have plenty of scope with her role in Bourdains death and child grooming to make her life utterly miserable . As they said on legion of skanks about McGowan “ she’s the worst person I feel horrible for”.

It is as long as you aren’t expecting a straight history book. He writes first person as Kim Jong-Il and tells the North Korean version of their history/his life. Lots of real facts, stories the NK public is forced to believe, Malice’s humour as well as the right amount of darkness and sympathy for the millions of prisoners. A hard balance to get right.
Only criticism I have is it would have been better if it was foot noted so I didn’t have to keep double checking the real history from the NK version of history -
Siam's link on the Dad thread somehow led me to Billy Corgan's appearance on Joe Rogan
Holy fuck what a great interview. Billy Corgan is very reflective.
My entire afternoon has been taken up listening to this guy.

I love Billy Corgan, he has written some of the greatest music i have ever heard. But i always considered him an arrogant man.
It was incredible to hear him so open about his mistakes, and actually admitting to his "failure" as his career went on.
A great listen

The one with James Hetfield was very similar , I didn't think of him so much as arrogant but a bit of a bully particularly after hearing about how he treated Jason Newsted when he joined. Sobriety and having a family have obviously changed him a fair bit.
