At one point when I was deep cleaning my apartment and frequently going between areas I had a bombcast going on in one room and the P4 Endurance Run in the other and would tune in and out as I went
Hmmm when listening to two podcasts at the same time is it better to go with two podcasts by the same people? Or do you embrace it and listen to two podcasts by different folks?
Apparently there are people who listen to podcasts sped up, which is absolute madness to me.
A dude I know came into the game store we frequent with a Magic podcast playing at like 1.5 speed and I immediately was like 'what the fuck are you doing' and he was weirded out that I even noticed. It sounds TERRIBLE

There are actually a LOT of people who do this, to the point where I remember someone writing into the bombcast to tell them their 'normal' voices sounded weird to them now

I just googled and it seems that there are people claiming that it sounds like normal after they got used to the speed
That's kinda interesting
I've worked with sped-up audio before and you do sort of get used to it, but it definitely doesn't sound "normal". It also kind of fucks with your brain? I always feel sort of jumpy afterwards.
I can understand doing it for audiobooks. The biggest reason I don't listen to them is because they take so long. I can spend like 10 minutes reading and get through more than like an hour of audiobook.
I've never been interested in audio books. I can read better and faster than the guy on the tape can, and I definitely don't absorb a story as deeply if I'm listening to it as I do reading it myself. I save my books for when I have time to read.
Oh hey so Podcast thread, if you ever see the power rangers talk in here and wonder what the fuck those PR nerds are talking about again, Shout Factory (the company that does the DVDS for Saban) is doing something pretty awesome this weekend
They are streaming the first 7 episodes of kyōryū sentai zyuranger, the show Power Rangers is based on, for free on shoutfactorytv.com this Saturday, starting at 9 AM PST, hosted by an expert on Japanese monsters, sentai, and everything in between
It'll be a cool way to take a look at some of the really weird shit they somehow turned into power rangers if you're at all curious, and the host is gonna give a bunch of history, etc if thats your bag
I'm pretty excited as I've only seen bits and pieces of it and also because it means I get to wake up on a saturday and watch power rangers and pretend to be a kid for a few hours
Hitchhiker's Guide feels like a "you had to be there" thing to me, cause I have tried to read it many times over the last decade or so and BOY do I just not enjoy it

I think if that were true most of us here wouldn't be fans, we're too young
Now Chincy how does one pronounce Zyuranger
Can you clarify that for us
uh
yes
you um
its 'jewranger'
THIS IS NOT MY FAULT THATS JUST HOW YOU SAY IT
As a Jewish person
This makes me super happy
Now I'm imagining a menorahzord
I'm gonna be real dissapointed if the jewrangers don't defeat the forces of Treif with their Kosher Kannon
Well, they fight Satan. Who, if I recall correctly, is a Christian thing ("satan" in the Old Testament/Torah being not a specific individual, but a term meaning "adversary"). So, uh, not sure what that means exactly.
I think Hitchhiker's Guide is just something you have to get into when you're really young, and then you have it forever
At that point I had probably seen dozens of things INSPIRED by it, that going back to the "original" wasn't as impactful
Nah, I was in my late teens before I picked it up and loved it. There's no real formula for it. Just one of those things that either clicks for you or it doesn't.
Out of curiosity, have you ever read any of Terry Pratchett's work?

I'm pretty sure I read one Discworld book in junior high but I couldn't tell you which one or anything about it
I meant to buy and read Mort after he died but never got around to it

Its insane to me

I would never ever listen at more than 1x
I imagine some would do the same with audiobooks.
Madness.
I probably already experienced the peak of the medium

It has a great cast
Alan Rickman was pretty good as Marvin
uh
yes
you um

I have it on bluray.
It's pretty good.
It could just not be your thing.

I read it 20 years after it came out and loved it

The Kosher Kannon is a pretty good name for a sentai attack
I tried watching the IT Crowd, guys, I really did try
Bounced right off of me

The menorahzord has to have a dreidel fist that it can fire like a rocket.

'Great Satan'
We must maintain the correct honorifics
I'm pretty sure I read one Discworld book in junior high but I couldn't tell you which one or anything about it

Not just any Satan. Great Satan.
I bet I'd love it.
