good podcasts

Gilbert Gottfrieds podcast is unbelievable. Really dirty and outrageous. They talk mostly about old movies and stuff, but it is a cool look at old Hollywood. They get great old guests. Highly recommend the Paul Williams episode.

Just a different pace than everything else.

I lost track of him but man was he hilarious on Howard Stern.

Good rec

Seriously, Dave...if you need something to listen to for like 20 hours, and if you like history, or are interested in WWI and WWII and the lasting effect they have had on us, go listen to that one I told you about.

The episodes are called "Blueprint for Armageddon" and there are 6 episodes covering everything. I think for his entire series they are episodes 50 to 55. Incredibly thorough, well researched, and well produced.

I've been catching up on How Did This Get Made? It's Paul Sheer and Jason Mantzoukas of The League selecting bad movies, then going off on comic rants about how bad they are.

Yeah it is a lot like that. He does impressions and sings. It gets out of hand sometimes

I second Dan Carlin's hardcore history. You might want to check out the "death throws of the republic" series (ep 34-39 iirc), if you're interested in ancient Rome. The level of detail in the HH series is great -- I actually learned more from DTOR than from Mary Beard's SPQR and other books.

Listen to HH while making my lesson plans...try to incorporate some of the more interesting things he mentions in his episodes into them as well.

I cant stand the sound cloud app, and finding material hasnt been easy, epecially if you have 60 hours of time to fill every week.

Youtube is simply the best source for many reasons. Lots of audiobooks etc. Any time you view something, you get 20 algorithmically suggested pieces of content to add to a playlist. Ive got roughly 100 hours queued up at the moment.

Jordan Peterson, Jonathan Haidt, and Sam Harris are favorites right now.

Were incredibly lucky to be alive right now. You can pull hours and hours of well studied information and lectures from brilliant people. Entire careers work of Harvard professors for free. I would have grown up.. Entirely differently and made so many different decisions if i had been exposed to this stuff.

Anyone here listen to Pardon My Take?

WTF and You Made It Weird are both great if you're interesting in digging in deep with one comedian or actor for more than an hour. Aaron Rodgers did YMIW if you're looking for a sports angle.

Serial was huge but I wasn't THAT into it (unsatisfying ending). S-Town, however, was really fucking good. Don't want to spoil anything so all I'd say is give it a go. Both sprung off of This American Life which I think is fantastic. They tell stories that are sometimes topical, sometimes depressing, but pretty much always interesting. And they mix it up really well so it feels like you learn about different walks of life.

How Did This Get Made is pretty funny. Heard good things about Joe Rogan's podcast and I've sampled Comedy Bang Bang! but there's just so many hours in the goddamn day, you know? That's the issue with a lot of podcasts, they make a bajillion episodes that are each a million hours long. And they're on demand so it's just selection paralysis all the time.

Sargon of akkad is a particularly bright classic liberal from the uk who comments on american politics.

He often picks at social justice and the illiberate left like other popular channels, but his commentary is exceptionally sharp and his ideas are well developed.

Dave Rubin is a tyt defector. Another classic lib. Open minded and agreeable and keeps points simple. Concerted effort to make steel men out of opposing views and is comfortable having the concersations that bill maher turns into sound byte laden yelling matches.

Larry elder, thom sowell are good.

Almost through Peterson. He's wrong on some things, which is more a statement on the soft sciences than it is anything else. But you can count the rings on his trunk with every sentence he speaks. Remarkably well read and genuine.

Haidt is good. (Likely) libertarian political psychologist out of Yale.

Harris is an intellectual black belt.

I need something really really funny to listen to

I'm not really into podcasts..

I've heard good things about Chris Delia's podcasts.. but you may not think he's funny
