NSR: What Podcast Are You Listening To Right Now? Vol 001

Big podcast fan here

RHLSTP - might be a bit too British but genuinely the funniest thing I ever hear. Richard Herring is a comedian I have loved for a long time and he is in his element here.

The Adam Buxton Podcast is also fantastic

Others - homecoming, beautiful anonymous, thinking sideways, stuff you should know, under the skin, WTF, Joe Rogan, Distraction Pieces, 99% invisible, This American Life, Serial, Generation Why, The Nerdist etc etc

The Eastern Border is great. I'm sort of biased because Latvians are the best people ever.

I guarantee most people here want nothing to do with the bulk of my 'casts, but I want to make special mention of The Rubin Report and Unregistered (by Thaddeus Russell). Rogan is downright fascinating at least half the time.

It might be an interesting story how I found out about The Eastern Border.

 

rep for Hardcore History podcast, love that show. Coincidently I believe Dan Carlin has been on the Eastern Border podcast before, I really should get around to checking out that show.

 

Carlin was indeed on TEB.

 

Just discovered Up & Vanished which is about a missing girl. It's yet another copy of Serial but a good one so far

 

Interesting, though Russell is a bit overblown on campus speech restrictions, among other things. There was one line where he said he would face censure if he spoke about boxing or MMA on campus. Today's NYT features a commentary about tonight's Mayweather/MacGregor match by a philosopher from St. Olaf College.

 

He was last at Occidental, IIRC, so maybe he's basing it on that.

 

I actually know two people at his current place, Willamette, one a Dean, and another a director of institutional research. I'm pretty sure he's safe to talk about boxing there. I'd be surprised if the same sort of really stupid shit that happened at Oxy happen there.

 

Can you give a link? A search just leads to college courses, JFK conspiracy sites, and infinite decrepit blogs by people who thought this title was punny a long time ago.

Three years into his PHD studies in Medieval History at the University of Southern California, Patrick Wyman realized that his childhood dream of becoming a history professor might not come true.

In 2013 he did the math: his chance of getting a tenure track job in academia was one in 15 million. It was time to explore other options. So, naturally, he turned to Mixed Martial Arts.

Now, four years later, the 32-year-old Los Angeles resident has three successful podcasts. Two of them, “The Fall of Rome” and “History Matters,” are in-depth analyses of historic events, told in a way that appeals to the average listener.

The third, podcast, “Heavy Hands,” co-hosted with friend Connor Ruebusch, is a deep dive into the world of Mixed Martial Arts fighting. Wyman credits his passion for MMA with helping him to become the heavy-hitting historian he is today.

. . . .


Wyman credited his shows with giving him the tools to pursue any topic he’s interested in.

“I owe MMA all of that, for figuring out how mass media works, how podcasting works, how to reach audiences, and how to talk to people. It’s the root of everything I’ve done since then.”

Reality humor.

 

This evening I did change my musics from august 2006 to this month 2017 no longer Metal supporter for my conflict well.

 

I've refrained from throwing this one out there, but ******** it: The Scott Horton Show.

In excess of 4000 interviews, almost all on the subjects of war and peace and foreign policy. Some of the best (and hardest to endure) interviews are coming from people on the ground now in Yemen.

 

I would be remiss if I neglected to mention his recently-published book called Fool's Errand: Time to End the War in Afghanistan.

I need to pick it up and embrace the suck.

Anything history. Carlin especially. History of Fire.

And as mentioned Rogan all night, all day.

 

Dan Carlin is live on Joe Rogan right now.
