CBB with a late contender for the top 10 - Aisling Bea is apparently laser-focused to be an ideal guest. It's the most I've laughed at CBB in a while

I got into Anime Sickos recently and it's tuned right into my horrible internet humour and gaming tastes
I'm literate enough with anime to appreciate the humour but it's really their ethos around the so called Four Pillars of Modern Misery that drive the humour for me: Anime, Gaming, Posting, and Jobs
They basically rag on anime, gaming, and posting from an affectionate point of view and rip on the modern white collar work environment
I don't think there's much more I can elaborate on without ruining the humour but it's great comedy laser focused on the stupid shit I love to waste time on and the job stuff rings true having been a spreadsheet cog
So, I was re-listening to Mike Duncan's History of Rome, and when he gave a basic explanation of inflation using the Old School Duck Tales episode (where the triplets use a malfunctioning multiplier gizmo to make enough allowance money to afford a new bike), I couldn't help but laugh...
Because that's how 6-7 year old me learned about hyperinflation as well.
I mostly get my podcast recs from threads like this and word of mouth but is there an aggregator or similar somewhere where I can browse? My podcast app is good at recommending top lists but impossible to simply browse through to find something that peaks my interest
Hard to keep up with all the labor news during striketober and strikesgiving, but I've been enjoying the podcast Work Stoppage.
They focus on labor news mostly in the US but they've covered whats been going on in India and south america too.

Listened to this year's Til Death Do Us Blart on the way home from Thanksgiving. I think they're really getting into the nightmarish existential dreamscape phase that makes The Worst Idea Of All Time such a great podcast.

Catching up on The Flop House, Gillian Flynn is a top tier guest
Caught up on Rude Tales and I guess I understand soap operas now.
Also holy shit the Thanksgiving episode of Oh These Those Stars is incredible.
Taylor Moore led audioform text based adventure? Astounding.
Parsely is a (very funny) running joke from the Rude Tales Patreon. Taylor ran a one-off session for the whole group, and Branson hated it SO MUCH that he refused to ever participate in any session of the game ever again. Everyone else liked it, though, and Taylor likes to surprise people in the leadup to the reveal that they'll be playing it.
To appear in the main feed of a different show, in-fiction, is a (delightful) escalation of the bit.
I subscribe to too many patreons and podcasts to keep up with all of it.
The way I look at patreon is it one of the main ways to give support to internet friends creative endeavors or people whose work I enjoy, so I don’t care if I don’t necessarily get to consume all the bonus shit.
Taylor's (edit I mean Joe’s, duh) method of just jumping in with "smash cut" whenever Tim gets going in OTTSOS is very effective. But I remember thinking in Man Moon Rising that the other players seemed much closer than usual to being fully Over His Shit.
95% of the time Tim Platt is kind of awful and probably the weakest part of Rude Tales or Oh These Those, if I'm being honest. But then the other 5% he'll randomly break out some legitimately hilarious stuff and it's like maybe just do that all of the time?
Ok I listened to the thanksgiving Stars of Space episode and this might be the first ep from this crew that I actively hated by the end? It started strong but the last twenty minutes devolved into unlistenable chaos.
This week on Revolutions, a lot of blustering rhetoric that does not change the reality of your position that is a lot weaker than you're talking up and oh dear Brexit flashbacks.
Since I'm going to be dropping Stitcher Premium in favor of CBBworld, I decided to finally listen to some of the Gino Lombardo show. I skipped to the current season, and it's been pretty funny! It started with a 3-4 episode Serial parody called Finding Gino Lombardo. Gino went missing after a mysterious supplement-fueled riot on Long Island. Jess McKenna does a great Sara Koenig-alike as the host of the show, searching for Gino in the various delis and Italian ice shops of Long Island. He gets a lot of good, familiar-to-CBB guests like Lauren Lapkus, Edgar Momplasir, Ryan Stanger, Mano Agapion.
I just listened to last week's which was a bunch of 'pilots' with Will Hines. The first one is Strong Island Keep, a Long Island-style D&D show. It's the perfect venue for Jon Gabrus, someone who can convincingly play a Long Island bro and someone who knows what an evocation spell is. It's just too short!
Technically not a podcast, but whatever, this thread has frequently doubled as the Giant Bomb thread:
Giant Bomb posted their first written review in over a year and I thought it was sort of interesting. Not so much because of the actual review of Halo Infinite, but because Jeff also wrote about why they don't really write reviews any more.
Suzy Barret as A Potato is killing me on this CBB. The potato's family left for a holiday dinner and never came back, but it wants to be in a Christmas special.

Dear Satan.....
Oh man was everything secretly cake when he was around too?
That signing ceremony for Brest-Litovsk was a laugh riot when the clause that ceded Ukraine turned out to be red velvet. And the pen was a knife.
I've definitely got $5/month's worth of value out of it so I've switched my monthly plan to the annual plan

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better

I am terribly fond of these lil' scamps.
I just give them $10 to keep being consistently terrible and hilarious.
