Friday OT #2 - Pod People

[Angie]

Lately I've been listening to a few podcasts, and was wondering if anyone has any favorites? Give links!

I was listening to Disgraceland, which was interesting but cheesy, and got to the end of it. I wanted something funny about music, so I started hunting around. I think Adam Scott is hilarious, and found that he and Scott Auckerman had a podcast that started as U Talkin U2 To Me where they went album-by-album through U2's discography, and then changed it to R U Talkin REM RE: Me going through REM's discography when they got to the end with U2. U2 isn't really my favorite band, but the two of them are so funny together that just them hanging out chatting is interesting enough to keep me listening. I'm not to the REM stuff yet (who I DO love), but bet those will be great.

If you want a thriller/binge listen, give Dirty John a try.

If you're a nerd like me, also give Presidential a shot. It was recorded in 2016 during the election cycle and each president from Washington to Trump is analyzed from their personalities, things that happened during their terms in office, to their decision making.

Joe Rogan and Dan Carlin (Hardcore History). Hard for me to get into the process of downloading them, and then listening to them though.

Another vote for Dan Carlin. He has gotten me through a lot of long solo road trips.

Small Town Murder is awesome. Somebody on here clued me in to it, and now I'm like a junkie trying to get my fix. It's a long one - 2 to 2.5 hours for most of them.

All The President's Lawyers is great if you're interested in hearing an actual lawyer discuss current political goings-on and don't want to get drug into media sensationalism. This one's a 30 minute podcast.

My must-listen podcasts are most the CF ones and The CyCast.

I'm also a fan of Dan Carlin and really gotten in Malcom Gladwell's Revisionist History.

I also listen to Rogan, depending on the subject.

And a few other political ones, but lets not go cavey.
