Good podcasts
-
Been listening to a few lately, some great ones in amongst the History Unplugged series (some are boring AF though)
A few of the better ones were on Spycraft and WW (inc Nancy Wake) Insane Leaders and on John Wilkes Booth.
Found a new one on the Mongol Empire so have started that, also found a Vikings one, content seems decent, but guys doing the podcasts seem odd.
-
The Movies That Made Me is a very frustrating listen. Joe Dante is the nicest and most interesting guy imaginable. The other guy, Josh Olson, is a flat Hollywood asshole. If the guest isn't a Hollywood piston wristed gibbon then it's really good, if they are then it's unlistenable and Olson is fucking awful.

Ricky Gervais was on the Sam Harris podcast
-
been listening to the Insomniac podcast, but the latest one I have listened to, the one about the Genessee River killer...holy shit, sick fuck doesnt even begin to describe him, not to mention the fuck ups by the courts, parole board and police along the way that helped him along.
The host/narrator also relates to you his issues with Insomnia along the way, which are mildly disturbing too.
-
another episode in Insomniac - Creepy Neighbour.
Anyway, the murderer was interviewed on live TV, and he got a surprise part way through the Interview
-
@taniwharugby Never ceases to amaze me how guilty people simply can't STFU.
-
@antipodean especially as most of what he was saying was made up.

Really enjoyed this interview with a Franciscan monk
Podcast #527: Father Wounds, Male Spirituality, and the Journey to the Second Half of Life
How does the way men experience spirituality differ from the way women engage it? What obstacles particularly keep men from experiencing greater meaning?

Listened to 'In the Dark' that is on the disappearance of 11 year old Jacob Wetterling in 1989, it would be almost 3 decades later his body is found after his murderer is finally caught struck a plea deal.
So it starts off like they are pointing fingers at the investigation at the time was a failure, but ends up being a wider issue with the local Sheriff, the FBI and a series of errors before his disappearance and after.
In the Dark, Season 1 (Jacob Wetterling) | Podcast | APM Reports
The investigation into the abduction of Jacob Wetterling yielded no answers for 27 years. We investigate how law enforcement mishandled one of the most notorious child abductions in the country and how those failures fueled national anxiety about stranger danger and led to the nation's sex-offender...

Critique of Joe Rohan’s podcast , the last couple of paragraphs are dogshit imho
Why Is Joe Rogan So Popular?
He understands men in America better than most people do. The rest of the country should start paying attention.
-
YouTube, but a podcast for all intents and purposes
Spells out theories about information and disinformation and trying to make sense of the world.
Basically the universal issues surrounding the world are too complex and distorted for one person's brain, and corrupted by agencies with agendas
Long, not as dry as one might imagine, and like like Peterson, articulates concepts, that float around in our heads, clearly and rationally.

Listening to another of the In the Dark Podcasts.
In the Dark, Season 2 (Curtis Flowers) | Podcast | APM Reports
We investigate the case of Curtis Flowers, a Black man from Winona, Mississippi, who was tried six times for the same crime. Flowers spent more than 20 years fighting for his life while a white prosecutor spent that same time trying just as hard to execute him.
This one is about the trials of Curtis Flowers.
I know the podcast is slanted toward the system being corrupt, but, you kinda get that impression...
Since 1996 I think it was, this guy, has been tried and found guilty 6 times and sentenced to death for the murders he is accused of; 5 cases have been deemed mistrials for a variety of reasons, the latest is currently under appeal (well at time of podcasts and I havent googled yet to find out anymore until I finish)
What gets me though, is the same DA has tried all the cases too, despite the mistrials that he has played his hand in causing.
Unsure if this is specific to Mississippi or not, but the DA has 15 opportunities in Jury selection to strike someone or challenge them...I believe it is 3 in NZ?
Apparently, in each of the cases, all 15 of his strikes were on Black people...

Almost done listening to the Bear Brook podcast.
Tells the story of the work to identify 4 bodies found in 2 barrels in a forest about 30+ years ago.
Problem is, how do you identify bodies of people who no one has reported missing with degraded DNA.
Case is fascinating as it also talks about some of the pioneering methods for identification from this case that lead to the apprehension of an even older serial murders, the Golden State Killer.
Also looks at the advances of genetic Geneology, which is very interesting...so if you been dodgy in the past and one of your relatives puts thier DNA into the system, they are inadvertently adding some of yours...

I've been listened to the Business Wars podcast for a while now. The show explores battles between business competitors (Gibson v Fender, Nike v Adidas, Netflix v HBO etc) over several episodes
I'm currently 6 episodes into their WWF v WCW series which I am finding really good. The shows mix recreations with actual recordings, and is really a dramatised re-telling of key events.
Recommended.
