Time to lie down and listen to podcasts with the lights off. A good decompression activity for me.
@willhopkins 1x since I listen to podcasts to relax
@cwebber
Me too. Also when I can't sleep but I'm too tired to read. What shows do you like?
@frankiesaxx Oh I like A LOT of shows.
- Up First / The Daily: two morning "catch up on news" podcasts
- Spontaneonation: hilarious improv, consistently funny
- Q.E.D. Code: CS theory nuggets
- One Shot: narrative RPG podcasts that are actually good
- Podrunner: workout music
- Ludology: board games and game theory
- Stuff You Missed In History Class
- Democracy Now: ultra-leftie news, not for the faint of heart
- Impulse Project: chiptunes
- Thrilling Adventure Hour: old-timey theater
@frankiesaxx We're not done yet!
- A slurry of NPR shows from best to worst: Hidden Brain, Radiolab, More Perfect, NPR Politics, This American Life, Planet Money
- Free as in Freedom: Karen Sandler and Bradley Kuhn talk free software
- Civics 101: US-centric civics review
- Some other occasionally-good programming shows: Functional Geekery, Emacs Chat, Software Engineering Radio, Cognicast, Relatively Prime
- and occccasionally Role Playing Public Radio.
@frankiesaxx there are some others too but I'm not able to keep up with them all and those are the ones I pay attention to most.
I use Antennapod as a podcatcher on my phone, available from F-Droid.
@cwebber
I like Philosophy Bites and You Are Not So Smart. And Hardcore History but he doesn't update near often enough. And the ECFR show for geopolitics. And BBC's In Our Time.
Tanis and The Black Tapes for fiction. And Alice Isn't Dead. I just caught up on Alexandria Archives which was fun.
Listening to My Dad Wrote a Porno now. It's hilarious. :)
And a bunch more.
Did you listen to S-Town?
I use Pocket Casts on Android for #podcasts
@frankiesaxx Philosophy Bites sounds up my alley.
@cwebber
Oh they are very very good. They have a wide range of guests and I enjoy the breadth of topics and ideas they cover. They have a spin off Social Science Bites which is also very good.
@frankiesaxx @cwebber
AntennaPod just works great.
I've been listening to
- Lambda Cast
- Philosophy Bites
- Why? A philosophical discussion about everyday life
- Science Friday
- Type Theory Podcast
- Star Talk
@superpat @frankiesaxx @cwebber Hopping in on the bandwagon:
* Buffering the Vampire Slayer
* Science Solved It
* Retronauts
* Reality Bytes
And more rarely:
* The Adventure Zone
* Radio Motherboard
* Levar Burton Reads
* The Shoot with Matt Day
* Superskull
@cwebber @frankiesaxx have you listened to Friends at the Table? Super amazing narrative RPG podcast that does some truly incredible things. counter/WEIGHT is one of my favorite self-contained sci-fi stories ever, full stop.
@nightpool @cwebber
I have not! I just added it to my app :)
@nightpool @frankiesaxx ooh, will listen
@cwebber @frankiesaxx I definitely recommend starting with counter/weight if you're into sci-fi or Marielda if you're more into fantasy! C/W (season 2) is completely self-contained, marielda is in the same world as s1/s3, Hieron, but it's a prequel so it's totally fine to start there as well!
S4 (twilight mirage) is GREAT and I love it a ton but it's only a couple months in so I can't really speak for it as a finished work yet!
if you want to know more, there's a guide: https://twitter.com/Friends_Table/status/878816769439412225
@cwebber I do this too! So good.
@cwebber Do you listen at 1x or are you a podfaster?
