I've listened to a ton of Maron's podcasts. This interview went exactly how I thought it would. It was more interesting and candid than most interviews of a standing President. But Obama can't really open up like I want him to.

Mrs. Dogg pointed out that Maron should do a follow up interview with Obama post-presidency. This would allow the format a bit more leeway and possibly net a more intense discussion.

 
Can someone give me a quick summary of a few good personal finance and current events podcasts. I'm about to enter a whole new world here.

I guess it depends on what level you are looking for, personally I'm a big fan of Marketplace from American Public Media.

Motley Fool. I like their daily one, MarketFoolery. They manage to discuss world events and how they affect markets and investing opportunities without getting too political. They also have a weekly show, Motley Fool Money, which has highlights from their dailies, and usually an interview with a money/finance guru.

Vince Gilligan ep released today. It is 14 hours long.

:lmao: Finally listening to that ep for real. In the first minute, Maron says to Gilligan that Gilligan spent a lot of time in his hometown, then says that one of his biggest regrets as an interviewer is that he did not discuss Albuquerque when Bryan Cranston was a guest.

Especially since Cranston absolutely loved shooting in Albuquerque.

 
Anybody listening to the Limetown Podcast?

I just subscribed and will listen to the first one this afternoon on the way home...Sounds interesting. For a second, I thought it was a documentary or something, but it sounds like a docu-drama kind of like Blair Witch or something.

Just figured I'd see if anyone has listened and if it's worth the time...

Howl aims to be the Netflix of podcasts: http://www.fastcompany.com/3049750/most-creative-people/is-howl-the-netflix-of-podcasts-weve-been-waiting-for

Subscription is 4.99 per month and it will have all the WTF archives, Earwolf archives and a bunch of other comedy stuff, along with some new podcasts, it seems (at least for now). Don't like the earwolf archives going behind a paywall.

Not sure what the point of this would be? Most podcasts ( I would say 85% and up) are more topical and informative with whats going on in real time. Not sure why you would ever want to go back and listen.

I'd do that if someone like Dan Carlin made his archives available through there.

Hardcore History? Are you interested b/c you missed them as they came out or because you want to have them available whenever?

I think that the WTF interviews will probably always be worthwhile. The earwolf stuff is largely comedy/improv. Comedy Bang Bang, Improv4Humans, Superego, etc. will pretty much always be good. I have gone back through lots of them.

For the podcasters (according to Scott Aukerman), the problem with the current model is that they can't get enough advertisers on the older episodes to make them financially sustainable. Having this fixed revenue stream lets them keep older episodes (now ad-free) indefinitely and take some chances on some new/niche stuff.

Hardcore history is good, really really good but the problem with that is its incredibly heavy and long.

I have listened and enjoyed it.

Also mystery show is a new one that is fairly entertaining.

Agree...in general, my favorite podcast overall. Of all the ones I've listened to, the current WWI one is by far the most drawn out and dry one he's done. Not a fan...I got spoiled by jumping in within the last two years and having access to all of his old episodes where I could just binge-listen. It's hard to stay motivated when he comes out with a new one every 2-3 months.

:thumbup: Thanks. I'll look into mystery show too...In general I stick with non-fiction, but if this is good, I might shift. I listen to at least an hour of podcasts a day, and my current selection just has a hard time keeping up.

Well yeah to buy all his archived episodes it is like $50+. At $5 a month i would run through them in a couple months.

Actually listening right now. Thought it was real as well. It's Serial, with a fictional tale. Seems decent so far.

Listened to the 1st two in the car on the drive home yesterday. I'm hooked now. I can't say it's deeply mentally stimulating, but I'm curious about how it plays out, and it seems well done. It's gonna bug me that episodes are well over a month apart in release date though...

Just finished up the first one, it's short enough that I'll keep listening. Seems like something good to listen to on the commute to/from work.

Yup. That's my main use for podcasts...I drive too aggressively when I listen to music.

I'd like to find more of these docu-drama type podcasts if anyone knows of any good ones.

 
FYI - If you liked Limetown, check out "The Black Tapes Podcast."

It's along the same vein as Limetown - a fictitious documentary. It focuses more on the supernatural. I don't think it's got Limetown's budget, but it's interesting.

 
If you like Hardcore History, you might like History on Fire. It's brand new and done by an Italian history professor/author, Daniele Bolelli. He says it's not a copycat but it's heavily influenced by Dan Carlin and has somewhat collaborated with him on it. He recently released part 2 of a 3 parter on the slave rebellions in ancient Rome. His accent is pretty thick but I was able to get used to it.

He should be on Joe Rogan in the next few days if you want to see what he's all about.

Subscribed. Thanks! I'm still trying to get to a state of equilibrium where supply = demand with my podcasts. I listen to at least 5 hours a week at this point.

If there are any Littles who listen to Tony Kornheiser's radio show podcasts, they are now available immediately after the end of the show, not 24 hours later. The former program director who insisted on the delay got fired and Mr. Tony changed the policy.

Still my favorite. I think you have to be a little older to appreciate but for me it's the right amount of sports/politics/news with humor always sprinkled in. His guests are almost always good (although I skip through some of the DC-centric sports interviews) and I find that I learn something frequently.

And the jingles are outrageously smart and funny - the recent one about the Old Man and the Swordfish was fantastic. The one about Big Rock Cocaine Planet was hysterical.

Why am I agreeing with everything you post lately?

 
Porn Minus Porn is a new favorite... basically, it is improv actors performing softcore porn dialogue. I've been listening to it on my drives to and from work and I'm sure the other drivers must be wondering what the hell I'm laughing so hard at.

His second podcast of The 10,000 really fell flat on its face. I think Bolelli should focus his efforts on one off podcasts instead of trying to go the Carlin method of long rambling narratives. He doesnt have the gift of gab that Carlin has.

Yeah, I deleted it 20 minutes in to part 2. Even the caveman one was pretty meh. I'll probably give him a few more depending on the subject. It's at least been something to listen to in between George RR Carlin shows.

 
New board made me change my password. Bummer, since ObamaSucks was so easy to remember.

Anyway, if you like economics -- especially Keynesian vs. Austrian -- check out Contra Krugman.

In honor of Presidents' Day, I'll mention "Presidential". It's a podcast by a Washington Post editor, looking at the leadership qualities of each President. She is doing an episode on a President every week, in order. She interviews authors and other historians with expertise on each President. Some of it is kind of weird (she typically asks what each President would be like on a blind date), but still mostly interesting.

 
Another movie podcast that I have been digging is We Hate Movies.  Ripping on crappy movies, but it does seem to come from a place of love, and they still will recommend some of the movies at the end.  An old one where they covered The Butterfly Effect had me laughing a lot.

Have you listened to The Flop House?  The description is the same, and I really like it.  I'm wondering about how they compare.
