This is thread for Podcasts, and
not pornography.
"What's a podcast?" you may very well ask. It's like a conversation you're allowed to eavesdrop on, which is pretty neat! And I can tell you one thing it's not - pornography.
Here are some pordcasts that are good and that might be discussed over the life of this thread:
My Brother, My Brother and Me
Three brothers hang out (PLATONICALLY) and do improv comedy riffs inspired by advice-column-esque questions and Yahoo answers queries. It's pretty funny, and it's
definitely not pornography.
The Dollop
Two friends hang out (PLATONICALLY) and do improv comedy riffs inspired by stories in American history. While they may sometimes do stories
about pornography, the podcast itself is not
inherently pornographic.
Comedy Bang Bang
Scott Aukerman hangs out (PLATONICALLY) with his famous pals and does long-form character-based improv based off whatever. Don't let those "bang"s in the title fool you - this one definitely isn't pornography.
99% Invisible
One man hangs out with himself (PLATONICALLY) and tells you all about design. Everything from architecture to fonts to those inflatable dancing tube guys are covered in bite-sized, always-interesting chunks. It isn't pornography.
Giant Bombcast
This one's porn.

I don't know how I could make it any clearer that it isn't pornographic! You should probably file a complaint with HR

Give it a pass
I have liked a few episodes of the Dollop in the past, but gave the opioid one a try and bounced off hard
I like the history aspects but the jokes occasionally punch down and happen a bit too often/unnaturally when I would really rather just hear about the history
What was so bad about that episode specifically, out of curiosity?

Oh woooooow
The thing about The Dollop is, Dave relies on a lot of first-person historical accounts. Which is usually fine, and is often the best way to tell a historical story. But this particular story is told about Indians, in a time where the only documented accounts are from white people.
The Comanches weren't writing down their side of things; it wasn't a going concern at the time. They were more concerned with, y'know, survival. Oral histories were kept, but those aren't counted as "documentation" and aren't really accessible to outside parties - in large part because they'd be dismissed.
Anyway, what it boils down to is: I don't trust even a single "official" narrative of an Indian battle in this episode. I don't trust even a single account of a capture by Indian tribes. A lot of the shit that gets said is straight-up nonsensical, and it drives me bonkers when it's accepted at face value because a white person at the time said it. White folks were actively involved in stealing land, and any narrative that helped justify this would be published. Any narrative that went against that would be buried.
Like, I used to work at a historical village. In this town, there was a "massacre" (read: more white victims than Indians. When the ratio goes the other way, it's a "battle."). Amongst the people captured were an 18-year-old gal and her 60-year-old mother. When they were rescued, the 60-year-old spoke on the sexual depravities the savages visited upon her and her fellow captives. The 18-year-old said, "Uh, no, we were treated really well and I think we might all have bogus ideas about Indians." She went on a speaking tour to tell people about how egregious the misconceptions were, and how well she was treated, and how awful the portrayal of the "massacre" was.
The public at large deemed the young gal to be "seduced" by the ravaging of the savages, and out of her gourd. She was shunned, and died penniless.
Anyway, the episode is basically nothing but accounts of Comanche behavior written by people who had a vested interest in the Comanche seeming monstrous. It sucks on wheels.
Then the fucking horrifying 20 story stone judges show up on the horizon in this latest episode and I legit got freaked out.

While I don't think Sunshine is a terrible game, I could probably get behind this categorization by technicality

The LPOTL episode about frontier murderers actually talked about a point I thought was interesting: whenever someone came across a murder, no matter who committed it, it was blamed on local tribes unless someone actually witnessed the murder. This was argued to be one of the reasons the Harpe brothers got away with so many murders.
its a lot
So is this just Dan trying to play Super Mario Sunshine while Steal My Sunshine is constantly playing

pooro have you read The Comanche Empire, by Pekka Hamalainen
i have read a lot of books about history but this is the one that most stuck with me
unlike Empire of the Summer Moon which was racist garbage
Do y'all think Jeffrey Tambor will be the next episode?
God I hope so.
