It's Centaur versus Man-on-Horse Action in the [Podcast Thread] (NOT PORN)

PoorochondriacPoorochondriac Ah, manAh, jeezRegistered User regular
edited July 2017 in Social Entropy++
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 recently started listening to Last Podcast on the Left and I really enjoy it. Previously I had only really listened to I2 Debates, Ancient Warfare Magazine, Cracked, How Did This Get Made?, and a few other NPR podcasts. I also have some Abe Lincoln's Top Hat episodes downloaded but I haven't started listening to them yet.

    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?

    That was like the ur-annoying Flop House bit and I still loved it because of imagining a version of Midnight In Paris where Owen Wilson is constantly amazed by getting to meet the schlockiest writers

    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.

    Here I was, thinking some of the world's visited in The Stolen Century didn't have a lot of thought put into them.

    Then the fucking horrifying 20 story stone judges show up on the horizon in this latest episode and I legit got freaked out.

    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.
