Any Interesting (Not Disturbing) Podcasts?
I used to listen to long form essays on Youtube. My favourite ones either break down the history of a conspiracy, teach me something new and cool about the world, or explore a hobby I've never been interested in.
I don't like the ones about killers or heavy drama. I also don't like podcasts that spend half the time reading the latest news from [topic] in verbatim .
What are some podcasts you can recommend me while I chip away at other things?
You're viewing a single thread.
Behind the Bastards and The Dollop are both a lot of fun as they delve into historical events and figures and do a whole comedic + factual examination in that order
If you want a really good episode for people unfamilar with the series-s, I love
- "The Tank Chase" (Dollop)
- "Stalin After Dark" (Behind the Bastards), the guest on Stalin episodes is very funny to me
For me the top Dollop episode will always be The Rube.
The baseball ones are ALWAY a roaring good time! My fave baseball one was Lenny Dykstra, lol.
It turns out his ping-pong ball schtick might actually be a legit real thing for focus 😂
I think the best behind the bastards episodes are the ones on Kissinger (6 pqrts) and the ones on the police (also 6 parts). The funnest however I think are on Alex Jones with those guys from the Alex Jones podcast and the ones on Kellogs becquse wtf.
10 cent beer night does it for me. I also recently relistened the Kissinger episodes (BtB w/ Dollop). That one still slaps and is what crossed me over into The Dollop.
- Newport Sex Scandal
- Purity Balls
- Carry A Nation
- The Cereal Men is great and I think Patton Oswalt was a guest
I’m pretty hooked on Behind the Bastards, but his newer stuff has gotten a bit sloppy. Too much lazy dunking on conservatives. He does have some really good series though. The Jack Welch series sticks out in my head as particularly good. That, and G. Gordon Liddy.
5-4 is also a recent addition to my playlist.
Anything they do on Ron L Hubbard or Stalin is tops
What’s a specific example you feel is sloppy? I love BtB but yeah it’s always been hit or miss for me. A lot of times, it depends on the guest too. I thought the latest Sam Bankman-Fried ones were pretty entertaining.
