podcasts are awful. Shallow, uninformative trash every other sentence punctuated by flimsy chitchat and bad jokes, solely held up by โ€œgood editingโ€. Useless.

Check out older episodes of 99% Invisible, some This American Life was really good. Gastropod and Proof have a lot of food science and history that are not woke drivel. 20000hz has stuff about sound design. NPR Politics for exactly what you expect. Ben Shapiro Show for the exact opposite take of NPR. No Such Thing as a Fish and Stuff You Should Know for more talk show style time wasters on runs or errands. Hidden Brain for great takes at the intersection of psychology and economics. Pretty much every WSJ podcast is informative, jokeless, and minimally biased.

Find shit you actually enjoy.


This morning, Cum went to the park. I went with Coom. And Cum brought Coomer frisbee. At least I think it was Coomers. By the end of the day, Cum started throwing the frisbee to Cumself.

thatโ€™s what Iโ€™m talking about. Theyโ€™re surface level pop science fun fact shit that doesnโ€™t teach you anything useful. It sounds like something cool, like a trivia or brain teaser, but it doesnโ€™t teach you shit. If you want to learn, work through a textbook or make something people actually use or something. They have in some โ€œexpertโ€ to talk about something they believe without good evidence, and everyone comes away with a few fun phrases and no understanding.

I put on a random 99% invisible episode, and itโ€™s aimed libtard idiot going on about how โ€œsocial infrastructureโ€ can save minorities. And he has some good sounding anecdotes that will absolutely break down if you look into it more whose lesson is โ€œbuild moar librariesโ€ (dumb, itโ€™s 2020, computers better)

99pi is actual butt cancer now mostly. Roman Mars also seems really full of himself now.

I tried a rhisamericanlife (it was about poor black people. I chose randomly...) but the thing I was struck by was how much of it was unnecessary conversation and filler. I just skimmed super hard through the transcript and blew through it in like six minutes, and didnโ€™t miss anything.

Thatโ€™s kind of the point. Its just random slice of peoplesโ€™ lives in the US. Go back 5-6 years minimally so its not just about non stop BLM and illegal immigration shit.

old 99invis are certainly better but itโ€™s still decontextualized and low barrier to entry info and you donโ€™t get much useful out of it

Oh I agree, like I said, I use these for errands, running, and runnings. If I need dense information, I prefer to read it.

I just think about stuff. One of my friends has a 2.5hr/day commute (lol) and they just talk to their elderly parents or friends on the phone the entire time, that may be better

2.5 hr each way? 2.5 hr round trip sound like heck already.

Iโ€™ve listened to 255 days worth of podcasts since 2015 according to my app. :marseysociety:

Iโ€™m phoneposting rn but I can get a complete list on my desktop. Iโ€™d say Jupiter Broadcasting is good for Linux and FOSS tech related stuff, but they have very soy banter as expected of 35+ techbros. Itโ€™s kind of insane how bad other podcasts on the same topic are though. I listen to them to pass time at my menial labor jobs or during a commute and they keep my mind preoccupied more than music.

I remember listening to this specific of TAL when it came out. I showed it to my bulemic friend and she raged about fatties for hours after and thatโ€™s how I found out she used r/fatpeoplehate.

Holy crap! What a pos. If I see him again I'm going to talk to him really loudly about how I reject his racist ideology and that he should too. Thank you very much for the answer.
