Here's The Thing with Alec BaldwinSheesh, there's a lot of Podcasts in the world, I don't listen to any of those, and to be frank I've probably only heard of three of them. Yet I listen to podcasts every day while doing exercises and still struggle to keep up with some them.
-
@Nepia Ditto - I keep up with the topical ones and things I really enjoy but there are others like The History of Rome that I enjoy but don't really have the time for and as a result have been working my way through it for three years. Still only 23/179 to go - almost to the sack of Rome.

I discovered I couldn't listen to his voice after a while, I got further than you though, scratch that, I missread, you got way further than me.
I mix it up between entertainment (movie and tv podcasts) and history mostly, with the odd general ones like Business Wars, Cracked, Intrigue, Reply All, Against the Rules and Science Vs.
I've stopped all true crime though as it did my head in after a while.
-
@Nepia yeah the true crime ones can be hard going, just astounded at how fucked up some people are.
I havent listened as much due to lock down and I dont listen at work, just in the car or out walking the dog.
-
@taniwharugby hah, I pretty much only listen to true crime. Podcasts have pretty much ceased to exist though as I only generally listen to them if commuting or driving.

The Great Fail: Death of Atari
Interesting listen...is ep 11, but havent listened to any of the other ones where they chart the demise (LA Gear, Google Glass)

@Nepia @jegga
Dolly Partons America, based solely on your recommendations, cos you know what, it sounded a bit lame, but was bloody good!I also enjoyed the origin info about instruments and music and how it was a mish mash of styles.
Even the little bit of back story of the guy that did the pod cast was fascinating!
As for 4 million people a year visiting Dollywood, WTF!
-
@taniwharugby Yeah, it is surprisingly good. I was the same as you before listening.
Just finished S1 of Gangster Capitalism, the one about the uni scandal. Really interesting, but his podcasts Peter out in the end. It’s not bad but they just finish.

MIssing in Alaska
Alaska 1972, 2 Congressmen vanish on a small plane, with speculation about a mob hit as well as to do with ties to the Croatian War.
Only about 4 eps in, is pretty good.

Is that date correct?
-
@Nepia my bad, typed war, so no, wrong...but had Croat links (was a letter a widow supposedly received from some defunk Croat linked group claiming responsibility for the plane going missing)
Is some interesting plane stuff too, that I expect @Snowy and @Machpants would find even more interesting.
