The latest episode of rugby direct is an absolute cracker with a brilliant guest...
Rugby Direct - Summer Edition: Raeburn Shield
Elliott catches up with the man behind the Raeburn and Utrecht Shields - mythical rugby trophies that don't exist but perhaps should.
I joined Elliot to talk Raeburn and Utrecht Shield which was cool.
14 minutes I suggest worthy of your ears
(and you can place my dulcet tones for using when reading my posts

@davesofthunder did listen to that this morning.
Worth a listen.

"The Coming Storm" from BBC Sounds.
About the motivation behind the Jan 6 "insurrection", and how it was spawned by the QAnon conspiracy, what QAnon was, how that arose from the Vince Foster suicide and the Clintons, through 4Chan, 8Chan and now (Am up to Ep 5) into the Russia collusion conspiracy.
Am enjoying.

This was excellent, I couldn’t really stop listening to it until finished. About the Trojan Horse letter in Birmingham UK that kicked off a huge series of events/change in schools, socially and government policy. A lot going on including the interaction between the two
Journalists, one veteran and one beginner.I hadn’t listened to S-Town so have since listened to that which is also very good but I think the Trojan Horse one is better.

This was awesome. I liked how whenever they brought in a new character and started discussing or interviewing them it really wasn't apparent which way it was going to go.
I'm about to do a deep dive on the documentation available (reports etc).
I had no prior knowledge of this story either, which seems strange in hindsight.

I’ve gone back and started it again, well worth a second listen.

'Things Fell Apart' BBC Sounds
Subtitled 'Strange Tales From the Culture War'
Generally a reasonably balanced discussion on how everybody hates each other on Twitter.
Finished listening a week or so back. And been wondering which thread I post this in.
But here will do for now.
Without wishing to stereotype I had my suspicions about the presenter's prejudices at the start (that they fell waaay left of mine), but for the most part he was fair and balanced.
Apart from the episode on race relations.
His descriptions of the Covington kids really didn't describe how poorly they were portrayed, and he gave waay too much credibility to Robin DiAngelo.
Did give me some background into Trans dogma I was previously unaware of, being that the Trans movement grew out of 'third wave feminism' and a theory around gender roles being a social construct (we've all heard this ... err... theory) based on musings by philosopher Simone de Beauvoir.
Am off to Google this rabbit hole further.
But certainly worth a listen I thought.

So I went to download the Clarke Report and the Kershaw Report and they wouldn't download. I thought that the reports had been removed due the podcast. Turns out it was just my browser had shit itself and wasn't downloading anything.

Trojan Horse affair was a great listen although I'm still a bit wary about the main protagonist (Hamza) and the fact that they didn't really dig enough quite enough to make it more than a good theory. I loved it, but it was a bit of a let-down with the whole Australia trip to finish.
Just finished The Coming Storm (BBC) which was a fascinating look at QAnon (I think it may have been mentioned above but was recommended by a non-polish friend).
I'm looking for something new - longform 8 or so episodes, so recommendations are appreciated. I downloaded Things Fell Apart so will blame booboo if that sucks.

I listened to these two back to back and found The Coming Storm to be not as gripping in comparison. Especially when it crossed with stuff that had been done better in the Rabbit Hole podcast a couple of years ago. Still a decent enough listen but I don't think he delved as deep as he made out he was going to in the opening episode. I actually think the epilogue was one of the better episodes though.

I might have a look at the Rabbit Hole then, although I’ve kind of done the tech in our lives thing to death with Swisher & Galloway (Pivot podcast).

It's a twice weekly ongoing podcast with a focus on tech/media and business. As I have a professional interest in it, I find it really interesting ( it deals with key issues surrounding the big four/five).
Kara and Scott and both progressives, so there is a clear slant, but I find both of them funny enough and interesting enough.

Ah ok, I'll keep it in mind for fill in podcasts. I usually have one series running, then two movie podcast eps a week, two to four history or businessey podcast eps a week, and Fatman Beyond - but I walk and listen nearly 2 hours every day so often have gaps where I'm looking for new podcasts.

Recommend some more pls.
I think watching Things fell apart after The Coming Storm was the right way around. I saw Rabbit Hole as a suggestion and listened to that (which I think was also a recommendation from here).
Also listened to Serial (season 1) about Adnan Syed (I'd love to sit over a beer and discuss that one), so looking for a new series. For some reason season 2 of Serial hasn't held my interest.
