What Podcasts does Lain listen to?

>>6106 Oh, I haven't seen that app logo in a while. I just pocketcast these days. Anyway I mainly listen to a music related podcast which is called the album years. And is held by Steven Wilson and Tim Bowness. On every episode they chose a year and discuss their favourite records. They usually try to skimp over the really popular stuff (like dark side of the moon, which has just been mentioned in that year's episode) and talk more about the less known stuff. Really great podcast, I reccomend it a lot for any passionate personate music lover. Quite comfy. I also listen to an F1 podcast called Box of Neutrals but I figured most lainanons aren't really into sports so I'm just mentioning it.

No Agenda The Daily Shoah (TDS) Akkad Daily Tim Pool Joe Rogan Jordan Peterson

Lex Fridman's Artifical Intelligence is great

>>6106 Damn what happened to the last thread? Anyway same thing as last time, the Dick Show is the sickest show. fuarrrking hilarious

hermitix. philosophy, occultism, societal collapse... really great.

I am in Eskew Comfy as hell until the female narrator comes in.

The Peter Attia drive , Philosophize This, and This Week in Tech are all good.

>>6179 What's that about?

Libre Lounge (free software and free culture - some eps are hit and miss but others are brilliant) Proles of the Minyan (Jewish marxist-leninists discuss various topics) Rev Left Radio (communist podcast) General Intellect Unit (‘ Podcast of the Cybernetic Marxists.

>>6106 Conversations with Tyler

>>6106 Sadly It doesn't update anymore https://roborah.com/

>>6140 Is that somehow related to this? The logo looks very familiar. https://youtu.be/j0lN0w5HVT8

>>6378 OP: I guess this would make more sense to relate it to. Since it actually shows the face. https://youtu.be/iWpCdUQLWwU

>>6135 That's AntennaPod, right? I have used Pocketcasts and really loved it's UI.

Your Kickstarter Sucks is dumb as hell but consistently funny.

>>6466 Assuming the content is the same as the title, what's a favorite of yours?

podcasts are friend simulators. which are bad. did you even watch the anime this chan is based on?

>>6472 Any time someone on a podcast shares unnecessary personal information it should set off a red flag. Podcasts shouldn't be intimate conversations they should provide news, or education.

I don't because it is a waste of time? If I want to be informed on a certain topic I do it myself, or if I like an author/film director/actor/entertainer I just watch them The fuarrrk is this "oh let me talk about this certain topic with this person for 3+ hours" lol? Who likes to waste their time doing that. Podcasters are more often than not a half baked "celebrity" that has shallow personality and dumb takes on already rehashed topics.

>>6138 go back to 2016, you're seriously braindead and this is coming from a guy that loved the TDS moonman remixes back in the day

>>6248 As someone who never really "moved on" from drum & bass, thank you so much for posting this.

behindthebastards darknetdiaries somemorenews >>6472 >podcasts are friend simulators. that could be said about anything, irc, chan sites, forums, anything. The whole point was that who never know who is on the internet.

Mostly science-news stuff: Quirks and Quarks (CBC) Science Weekly (The Guardian) Inside Science (BBC) Curious Cases of Rutherford & Fry (BBC) Spark (CBC) - Less science and more "society and technology" stuff. Definitely not a blind-adoration-of-the-newest-gadget show though. Lots of episodes about potential tech-based threats against civil liberties by companies and governments.

>>6482 >irc, chan sites, forums, anything Not really. These things involve two way communication. Maybe you think physical presence is important in friendship but that doesn't put them on the same level as podcasts, which are unilateral. I do disagree with that anon's premise that this makes podcasts intrinsically harmful though.

Hermitix Hyperpodcastism Philosophize This occasionally Red Scare for entertainment >>6472 your friends must be pretty boring if they're anything like podcasts >>6474 how is watching a random movie a better use of time than listening to a random conversation about some topic?

>>6474 they're friend simulators -- an attempt at a remedy for our isolated, hyper-siloed times.

Popular Front is good for military/political topics.

>>6474 Sometimes they are funny. Also sometimes the guests have amazing stories to tell. What you're saying only applies to those podcasts that are some self-appointed celebrity telling you about their breakfast, the other self-appointed celebrities they know, and the parking ticket they just got.

>>6472 >>6490 I don't get the "friend simulator" thing - hanging out with friends doesn't usually involve a multi-hour discussion about some niche or academic topic. They're more like lecture simulators.

>>6493 Lecture, or documentary in some cases. People who drive for a living listen to podcasts. I listen to them when I'm cooking or cleaning the house. I don't know why but this is more enjoyable than listening to music at those particular times. I don't get the implied argument by some that audio is less valuable than written information. The creator is what matters. A lot of podcasts are unsourced tripe but so is a large percentage of what you might read online.

>>6482 >darknetdiaries My dude. I wish there where more hacking-stories podcasts. Another good one is Malicious Life

>>6502 When I was young, a major part of my socialization was to listen to a local FM radio, call to ask for a song and all that jazz. It was quite popular in my country and most places had a local station that did so. Podcasts bring that back, although the asynchronicity of it makes it a bit less enjoyable to me. I currently host a podcast, I won't share it cause it's not in english, and the experience is nice. However I'm on the way of bootstrapping a web radio that relives this older era, where I met some of the most amazing people through the airwaves.

>>6493 It depends on the podcast. Not all of them are educational lectures, there are some really popular ones that really are just the hosts casually chatting about video games and anime or whatever.

>>6482 Yeah... and we should be leaning away from all that too. The podcast hole is just increasing the level of simulacra. Involves hearing voices, believing there's a dialogue when there is none, having more intense and long-lasting parasocial relationships. Don't listen to podcasts. Don't be a podcast guy. It's just more brain rot, screen damage except through your headphones. Maybe audiobooks would be a better alternative imo.

>>6493 Yeah, it's a friend simulator for people who want to reframe their loneliness as erudition and who don't really remember what friendship is like. People who have been driven nuts by obsessions that drove off their old friends in the first place (or prevented those bonds from ever forming) so they look for something that's like being in a room with people chatting but also they're as demented as me Podcasts are friend simulators. I know it doesn't make good sense, but that's how people use it and in the end that's what does it, not the details. If people don't notice the way that the internet and its depressing new rituals and niches is slowly privatizing and replacing social reality, congratulations you can legitimately consider yourselves mentally disabled from now on. This is all a big rat trap and you're telling yourself the cheese isn't really that bad, it's good cheese actually. Who would be suspicious of cheese? That's silly

>>6514 What a sad worldview. Your 18 century views of friendships and society are deprecated, we have evolved past that, catch up with the times. Begin by improving your erudition by reading wikipedia and listening to podcasts, it's not that hard, but you'll have to give up your fear of becoming a nerd or something.

>>6513 >>6514 I've come across podcasts that could work that way, but it's simply a bizarre generalization to make for a medium that includes pretty much any form of episodic talking that gets put on the internet.

>>6514 I love telling my friends to talk exactly 1.25 times faster forever. And have them talk about history or some other obscure and nerdy theme whenever i want them, wherever i want them. Yeah that's exactly what friendship is about and it's the a pretty good simulation for it.

>>6513 >Maybe audiobooks would be a better alternative imo. The podcasts I listen to are all either literally short story audiobooks (like the Nightmare Magazine podcast, for example), or TTRPG actual-play podcasts, which are essentially improvised freeform audiobooks (or at least, that's why I personally enjoy them).

>>6515 lol no, my worldview and my social life are anything but sad. I have normal human bonds. They didn't evaporate centuries ago, they aren't obsolete or depreciated. You're just overly credulous and you've bought into the sales pitch for this massively impoverished replacement they're trying to foist on everybody. You're carrying water for those that would mistreat you, have more self-respect than this. Don't confuse my pessimism about your ways for pessimism of my own, I'm just fine thanks. But yeah have fun improving your erudition (or the delusion of it). I'm not so much afraid of becoming a nerd as I am disappointed in seeing a lot of people around me turning into worms. >>6516 Any comment approaching an entire broad medium is necessarily going to be a generalization. Of course there are exceptions >>6517 Like I said, you're focusing on the details. I've seen the way podcast heads interface with the medium. I've seen the comments below some of these twitch streams with pod personalities before. It's a parasocial interaction, doesn't really matter what it's about. Maybe that's not what you personally get out of it and if not then congratulations, but most of them seem to be full of poison to me. >>6518 That might be one of those exceptions. I mean the medium is still just arbitrary audio recordings/radio shows that for some reason are still named after the ipod. It's a bogus definition for a genre, but I'm talking about most consumers of podcasts and their emotional relationship to them, not specific people or the content of the things themselves.

>>6474 >Who likes to waste their time doing that. You seem to be under the impression that people like to spend time just listening to podcasts while staring at a wall or something, but in reality most people listen to them while doing things like driving, jogging, cooking, cleaning, folding laundry, etc. Time which couldn't really be spent reading or watching a movie.

> stop wasting your spare time doing things I don't like > I'll waste my spare time arguing about it if you don't agree with me Can we get back on topic now?

>>6520 thinking bad, consuming good!

>>6514 Also movies. I can really relate to how you've put it, except the condemning.

>>6522 >>6523 So find a thread about a topic that interests you and stop sh¡tting up this one.

>>6522 hahaha right? people are CONSOOOOOMING XD XD XD soyjak.jpg

>>6525 >>6524 Yeah you think you are the one that belongs here but you're wrong. You're boring zombies. This kind of topic is one that would do fine on /g/. So you two can kindly buzz off and stop gentrifying my board.

>>6526 I'm pretty sure I've been here longer than you, and I certainly never have been to /g/. Try again?

>>6526 Performative indignation over someone wanting to listen to an interview while doing the dishes isn't going to impress anyone here, I'm sorry to tell you.

it's in esperanto but I love listening to kern.punkto, it's a general science and culture podcast https://kern.punkto.info/

>>6520 >but in reality most people listen to them while doing things like driving, jogging, cooking, cleaning, folding laundry I knew there was one of these idiots who think that multitasking is a thing, lol Hey bud, don't want to burst your bubble, but 80% of people can't hold on a focus on one thing kr train of thought for longer than 10 minutes and you want them to do it for a couple of hours? And if you aren't honestly dedicating your brain to one activity in its entirety but instead suplementing it with another can you honestly say you enjoyed that activity? That you're not just filling up things to do one after another to escape the feeling of dread when you are left alone to your own thoughts? Hell, that is primary reason why people bitch of low reading rates. Not the books but close deliberation and thinking of information being processed and not just guzzling it down like popcorn so you can rehash the story to your friends and gain some kind of social reputation points that way. You are just making drones that way that half heartedly listen to the story and internalize a deeper message subconciously. Just like TV does, people kinda just "zone out" after a while and stop processing the info. >>6489 Stop trying to relativize things by comparing them so condescendingly. That is what nihilists do, "you don't want to be one of those now do you?" (Imagine a condescending down talking questioneering high pitched voice and that is how I am doing it to mock you). And also you're in no position to ask such a question. But you are right about one thing, this reply was a waste of time because you will not learn a lot and jist continue to drift through life. >>6490 I agree. I mean that is why they're always rehashing same topics and ideas that have mainstream adoption. Don't want to lose 3 million dumb lonely losers that will make you hundreds of thousands of dollars by mentioning a shawing razor now do you? But those neckbeards will still be unkempt lol. >>6492 The whole time I was making that comment I was thinking about Joe Rogans podcast and dumb notoriety it accrued. He is the half baked celebrity. He talks about same topics over and over. He rehashes same ideas into the mainstream without adding anything of value. >sometimes You know that is a weasel word and you are just not too brave enough to convince yourself of the truth you already know to be true. Weasels are pitiful in that way. They weasel around the point.

>>6521 Nice strawman lol >Can we get back on topic now? Look at this smugly worded condescending rhetorical question. You aren't the refferee of discussion here, what makes you think anybody will listen to you? You didn't even get a single "yea, you're right boss" before I replied. Get out of your own smelly pompous ass and either add to convo or don't. You aren't contributing by yelling from the sidelines about "the topic" that mind you changed few dozen replies ago... and that is okay bud.

>>6530 What am I missing out on by listening to a podcast while I'm on a walk or doing dishes? Should I not listen to music while doing things either? I'm someone who still meditates and I read significantly more than my peers (however, you're right and by reading just a few pages a day, you'll be ahead of most people). Maybe I'm not absorbing 100% of whatever I'm listening to but dude it's boring as fuarrrk just sitting there between sets at the gym.

For entertainment purposes, I listen to the Onion: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheOnion/videos It's like onion news or onion videos, but onion podcasts.

>>6530 >>6532 At this point I'm pretty sure this is parody, but if not, you need to relax a bit. Do some meditation, step away from the internet for a while. Have you tried going without it for a day?

>>6539 He's baiting for attention, don't fall for it. >>6106 The Portal can be good if there's an interesting guest, even though the host Weinstein is a textbook midwit.

>>6539 >>6540 to be honest this would be the place for people to actually have screaming nervous breakdowns over other people listening to Joe Rogan while jogging.

>>6532 >You aren't the refferee of discussion here, what makes you think anybody will listen to you? Is this a joke? This is EXACTLY what you are doing, dictating what topics are appropriate here or not.

>>6533 Depends on the podcast, IMO. Some podcasts can be done while doing something else. While some serious ones require full concentration. I usually listen to stuff while walking when I can commit most to the podcast.

>>6106 Only old episodes of Talkradar and Lasertime

Late Night Linux is very comfy

The scientific journal "Nature" has a podcast which covers the big science stories of the day. Typically with interviews with the scientists involved in the paper and comments of scientists within the field. The podcast isn't too technical so you don't have to go get a masters in whatever just so you can understand whats going on.

Since it's related: is there a way to listen to spotify exclusive podcasts without spotify? I absolutely despise how they present podcasts and I'm not that thrilled about having to use a proprietary client either. The podcast I want to listen is "Last Podcast On The Left", really funny and usually interesting topics. They handle conspiracy theory well I think. I recommend it.

>>6647 No podcast is exclusive to a single platform these days, except very obscure ones. Look around, there must be a streamable or direct download somewhere.

>>6648 They have an exclusivity deal with spotify so they nuked their other feeds. If you are suggesting someone else reuploading them I will look around.

>>6649 > exclusivity deal Pffff... why do people do this? Anyone popular enough to earn that can surely make more money by spreading their media far and wide. Reminds me of stories from the 90s and all the bands who got legally castrated and financially sodomized by signing crap record deals.
