From the twitter thread - PJ saying he liked Reply All being a clique and basically saying I dont mind diversity initiatives but i dont care enough to make the smallest effort is extremely shitty
I would also like to state for the record before the conversation moves on that PJ has the worst case of male vocal fry ever recorded.
there's one called Our Thing with Sammy "The Bull" Gravano that i like i'm guessing someone is trying to make a series out of one 6 hour interview but it's decent nonetheless honestly Sammy comes across as a thoughtful guy. "that's just what we do" is the type of thing he says when it comes to murdering people.
Prompted back into this thread by the latest message from Reply All on their feed - I kind of don't care that PJ and Sruthi were pieces of shit? I liked the show and it sucks that they are gone for good now? I really don't think Alex can carry the show without PJ, their interaction was what made the show what it is. Emmanuel Dzotsi's accent annoys the crap out of me. I am glad they attempted to make the show more inclusive, but his something about his voice is just awful to me.
Checked out Business Wars because the concept is pretty good. Lol @ 25 minute episodes with 3 lengthy commercial breaks. Unsubscribe
Im kind of with you on both his voice (which I can easily get over) and the show struggling without PJ. Will certainly give it a shot but I’m not optimistic.
Not podcasts, but does anyone listen to BBC World Service? It has some good one off programmes on random topics. This morning I heard a few experts talking about the future of renewable energy and Bitcoin, immediately followed by another on the campaign to ban land mines (wasn't aware that the USA have still not signed up to the treaty). Interesting stuff that I wouldn't necessarily seek out otherwise.
I've listened to some of their longer, more series like stuff. The apollo 11 and 13 ones were very good.
Anyone got one about crazy Christian homeschooling? Reading that that moron Madison Cawthorne was raised in it has me interested
If you read that Twitter thread that was posted on there, the tweet author gives the name of her podcast where she covers that stuff.
The Have You Heard pod with Jennifer Berkshire is more focused on the perils of school choice and our flawed education discussion more generally but I’m sure she touches on home schooling as well.
They were paying Cafè Society Parisian Philosoph types to say an occasional anti communist remarks so it is totally feasible.
Mommy Doomsday and Unraveled: LISK are both pretty good stories. Mommy Doomsday is crazy Mormon murderers. LISK is dirty cops killing hookers.
I was kayak fishing listening to this the first time I heard it and was laughing like an idiot in the water. Some times I'll pull it up and just laugh.
Business Wars drove me nuts. The melodrama and overacting was unbearable. Cool idea, but not an enjoyable product
I’ve listened to every business wars for over a year at least. Some I like better than others, but the history fascinates me on stories I typically hadn’t known much about. Don’t y’all just skip thru commercials?
Really enjoyed the latest history unplugged pod on British West Florida as the 14th colony during the revolution. That man’s accent was strong!
First world problems - Getting mild anxiety seeing your podcasts pile up knowing you wont be able to get to most of them now that March Madness has started
Very good so far. They’re doing a good job of making me want the FLDS burned to the ground then making me feel a little sorry for them.
Really weird cross over of various podcasts I listen to. Paul F. Tompkins is on Behind the Bastards this week. They are discussing Rush Limbaugh.
Damn it, the Revolutions guy is having health problems again right before we were about to get to 1917
I started this on a recent road trip and it never really gripped me. Interesting subject matter but was kind of meh on it.
There doesn’t seem to be any schedule. They just release whenever. Also no outro. Just stops suddenly lol
