Siam's link on the Dad thread somehow led me to Billy Corgan's appearance on Joe Rogan
Holy fuck what a great interview. Billy Corgan is very reflective.
My entire afternoon has been taken up listening to this guy.
That was a great podcast, you should check out the Shirley Manson one too.
I love Billy Corgan, he has written some of the greatest music i have ever heard. But i always considered him an arrogant man.
It was incredible to hear him so open about his mistakes, and actually admitting to his "failure" as his career went on.
A great listen

The one with James Hetfield was very similar , I didn't think of him so much as arrogant but a bit of a bully particularly after hearing about how he treated Jason Newsted when he joined. Sobriety and having a family have obviously changed him a fair bit.

So, I’ve completed all of Revisionist History by Malcolm Gladwell, and I think it easily rates in the top 5 of podcasts I’ve listened to. I usually listen to podcast while walking but I’d find I’d get home and continue listening to it. I basically burned through it while ignoring all my usual podcasts so now I’m in catch up mode. I think I found every topic interesting which is not usually the case with many podcasts.
I’ve also finished the Teachers Pet, because I’m an idiot, and I really have to reiterate how bad a podcast it is. The final episode encapsulated everything that was bad about it. There was no structure whatsoever, no theme it just rambled from the hosts interviewing people that highlighted “what great work the podcast has done in bringing this case to light” or generally fluffed the podcast maker, to a recording of a discussion with a psychic (WTF!!!) who clearly didn’t know shit, to more rambling.
I might give Revolutions another shot and hope that I get used to the guy's annoying voice.

@nepia there was a revisionist history about our memories of events being very flawed, the one where the tv reporter "lied" about being in a helicopter fight in Afghanistan that has since struck a chord.
It explains a lot of my recollections of AB games and players from childhood. e.g. I was sure for years that Paul Cooke was an AB, as well as another fine HB export!

Yeah, that one was really interesting. Yeah Cooke was a great HB export, but I never really thought he was AB level - like that other export Timu.
I found the science shitfight ones really interesting as well.

The science shitfight ones were good, the one about Elvis Costello was interesting too.
If you can't tolerate the guys voice on Revolutions try Martyrmade instead . The ones on Israel and My Lai are really good imho, he does work with Daniel Bolleli on some podcasts and Bolleli voice might irritate you.

I'm listening to the Israel/Palestine one at the moment, it's really good, but, my tolerance for waffle (both written and audio) is low at the moment so I wish he'd be more concise at times.

The one about My Lai is way more concise . I had no idea the degree to which the poms screwed thrmselves in Palestine until I heard that podcast.

The latest Dollop podcast is one of their funniest yet. This time they look at the decidedly kooky cult Synanon, whose leader was noted for his impulsive edicts. The one requiring all members to ride Harkey Davidson motorcycles had me cracking up.

@jegga I've been listening to The Caliphate lately, I still can't get into Revolutions because of the guys voice. The Caliphate is about ISIS, and focuses on interviews with ex ISIS members - I'm about midway through and really enjoying it.
Caliphate (Published 2020)
An audio series following Rukmini Callimachi as she reports on the Islamic State and the fall of Mosul. This series includes disturbing language and scenes of graphic violence.
I also felt the last Martyrmade on Israel-Palestine was a bit rushed and he probably downplayed too much the threat to Israel militarily once the 1948 war kicked off.
Interesting stuff about Begin - I had no idea of his history other then Israeli politics and Irgun.
I also feel his discussion of the media was heavily US focused - contrary to his thoughts Palestine having been doing pretty well in the 'media war' for a good couple of decades now. I guess when all you have is the US media companies then it will still seem completely slanted.
Will have a break before listening to more of his.

@Tim @Nepia have you listened to this one ?
Slow Burn Season 9
A nationwide moral panic, a California legislator who rode the anti-gay wave, and the LGBTQ+ people who stepped up and came out to try and stop him.
Working my way through the Nixon one, Clinton is next .

Just listened to Gone Fishing (About Deane Fuller-Sandys and his dodgily convicted murderer Gail Maney), which was pretty good, although seemed to end abruptly without an "ending", maybe I wasn't listening properly. From the peeps that did Black Hands.
Sworn is good, from the guys that did Up and Vanished, although led by the solicitor Philip Holloway.
Unravel season 2 is out now too, if anyone enjoyed S1.
