Podcast Challenge: October Recap

This month was a little scattered and I wasn’t listening as consistently, but still made some progress! Since I’ve been listening very little in the past week and half, two weeks or so, some of the ones I’m “current” on I may not have heard THE most recent episode or two, but I’m not far off.

The Adventure Zone

Current

That Halloween live show was legendary

Adventures in New America

Current

I’m still trying to work out how much I’m enjoying this show but I’m definitely intrigued by it. I think it’s just, I haven’t really latched on to any of the characters too closely yet? But I think I’ll end up really loving Simon, I just haven’t gotten there yet

The Bright Sessions

Current

I loved the Bright Sides episode this month. I really, really loved it.

Bubble

Current

No new episodes

Can I Pet Your Dog?

Episode 22-23, out of 165 episodes currently

Well those two episodes were nice, lol ;P Not quite on track to catch up with this show real soon but we’re working on it

Conversations with People Who Hate Me

I didn’t get to any new episodes this month BUT the second season ended and I only have four episodes left before I catch up, so I’m real close

Critical Role

Didn’t get to any new episodes this month

Ear Hustle

Almost current, but didn’t actually get a chance to listen to this month’s episodes

The Flop House

#72-80, out of #269 currently

I love these guys but they ramble and digress so much sometimes it’s indistinguishable from the Sleep With Me podcast

It Makes a Sound

Current

No new episodes

The McElroy Brothers Will Be in Trolls 2

There was a new episode that came out right at the end of the month and I haven’t listened to it yet but it’s in my queue!!

My Brother, My Brother, and Me

Episode 195-206, out of 431 currently

Broke 200 baby

My Dad Wrote a P*rno

Current

WHY THE MOULIN MARRON, ROCKY, WHY, PLEASE

Oh No, Ross and Carrie! *NEW*

Episode "Ross and Carrie Try Kabbalah: Did You Know The Sun is Green?” - “Ross and Carrie Get Ear Candled: Wax Springs Eternal” | 2/174 currently

Oh, oh this podcast is going to be gross. I’m going to find it fascinating, but it’s going to be so gross, I just know it

The Orbiting Human Circus of the Air

Still have the Imaginary Symphony episodes to get to

The Penumbra Podcast *NEW*

Episode 1.01-1.04 | 4/59 episodes currently

Oh, oh I am already in love. I already ship Juno and Peter, how did they do that in just two episodes of interaction

Sawbones

Episode “Oil Pulling” - “Magnets” | 39/251 episodes currently

I can’t believe after years of seeing the word “lodestone” just kicking around in fiction and historical documents without ever bothering to properly look it up Sawbones of all things finally taught me what a lodestone actually is

Shmanners

Didn’t get to any new episodes this month :(

The Thrilling Adventure Hour

Have been waiting for them to post the back catalog on Patreon

Welcome to Night Vale

Continuing my relisten, but didn’t get to any episodes this month

Within the Wires

Current

I don’t want anything bad to happen to Vivi but I feel like something bad is going to happen to Vivi

Wolverine: The Long Night *NEW*

Current

I saw something that said Marvel was thinking about using this to launch a “podcast universe” which, please, I don’t need another MCU, but I’m really enjoying this story, not to sound cliche but I’m on the edge of my seat constantly

Wonderful!

Didn’t get to any new episodes this month :(

Previously Completed Podcast: Alice Isn’t Dead

[lifefilledwithstories]

Podcasts anyone?

[teacup-crow]

OKAY BUT HAS ANYONE LISTENED TO DYLAN MARRON'S "CONVERSATIONS WITH PEOPLE WHO HATE ME" IT'S GREAT BYE

[codenamemaximus]

I think the reason why Chris has the beliefs that he does is because he's actually pretty open-minded but he doesn't really understand that other people aren't. He respects people so he doesn't think that they need extra protecting because he doesn't really see how dangerous it really is to be a minority

Podcast Challenge Catch-Up

Quick recap below the cut of the episodes I’ve listened to since I stopped posting! Featuring: The Flop House, Conversations with People Who Hate Me, The Orbiting Human Circus of The Air, My Brother My Brother and Me, Sawbones, My Dad Wrote a P*rno, The Thrilling Adventure Hour, The Bright Sessions, The Adventure Zone, Shmanners, and Critical Role (which is new!!!). No times since I’m not tracking my goal. There will be a normal post tonight with the ones I listened to today!

Podcast: The Adventure Zone

Episode: Amnesty - Episode 9

Commentary: I have... thoughts and questions about the crystal. Many thoughts and questions

Episode: Amnesty - Episode 10

Commentary: The water parks bit was so fucking wild I don’t even know man just. That was the epitome of TAZ insanity.

Episode: Amnesty - Episode 11

Commentary: Kay so that whole simulation was maybe a bit traumatic, Minerva. I’m worried for Duck and what this whole ‘chosen one’ thing actually entails

Podcast: The Bright Sessions

Episode: S4E13: The AM

Commentary: This entire episode was just me clutching my phone and whispering “oh god oh god oh god please let them be all right”

Podcast: Conversations with People Who Hate Me

Episode: Facts and Feelings

Commentary: A lot of my reactions to these episodes are just “Oh BOY is that a lot to unpack”

Podcast: Critical Role

Episode: Episode 1: Arrival at Kraghammer

Commentary: Okay, I sat down and made my whole cheat sheet. I have many many many loooooong episodes to go but I am. Determined.

Episode: Episode 2: Into the Greyspine Mines

Commentary: Coming from TAZ it is so genuinely bizarre to me that they are like... negotiating. And planning. That they had a thing they wanted to do and the person wouldn’t let them inside his house so their reaction was just *shrug* “oh well, guess we can try and come back later” and not someone getting socked in the jaw, charmed, and the house probably blasted with magic missile

Episode: Episode 3: Strange Bedfellows

Commentary: Damn, I really though that pile of rags was going to be the halfling lady they were looking for. Curious to see where this outcast mindflayer person is going though

Episode: Episode 4: Attack on the Duergar Warcamp

Commentary: That was some badass fighting ngl

Podcast: The Flop House

Episode: Movie Minute #28 - Criterion Collection

Commentary: I have never heard of any of those films and I don’t think I want to.

Also what WAS that

Episode: #42 - Paul Blart: Mall Cop

Commentary: This just made me want to go look up that Paul Blart annual watch that the McElroys do tbh. Also I’ve never in my life seen even clips of this movie but at the same time I feel like I have seen it, you know? Like it’s just... such a meme. I’ve seen Space Mall and that’s the most important thing.

Episode: Movie Minute Klassic - Comic Heroes

Commentary: I don’t know who or what Ziggy is. Also he forgot Man vs Self

Episode: #43 - Righteous Kill

Commentary: To be honest I didn’t take a note on this one and I forget what I wanted to say about it, but I think it was something about the fact that putting De Niro and Pacino in a buddy cop movie is one of those things that sounds good for like five seconds and then you think about it and... nooooooo

Podcast: My Brother, My Brother and Me

Episode: 145: Three’s Company High

Commentary: The bit about 5-year high school reunions was some weirdly coincidental timing considering I just passed my own 5-year reunion

Podcast: My Dad Wrote a P*rno

Episode: S1E2 - “The Leather Room”

Commentary: That drinking game is the kind that will give you alcohol poisoning in five minutes

Podcast: The Orbiting Human Circus of the Air

Episode: Season 1, Episode 5

Commentary: GOD Julian deserves none of this they’re so awful to him

Episode: Season 1, Episode 6

Commentary: “The kid thinks I’m Santa Claus! I mean yeah I got the white beard, but I’m a JEW!”

Episode: Season 1, Episode 7

Commentary: “My first boyfriend was a polar bear” Wut

Also YIKES Julian

Episode: Season 1, Episode 8

Commentary: There is nothing about a platypus I can take seriously

Podcast: Sawbones

Episode: Fertility

Commentary: Justin raises an interesting point here – I wonder how much a general perception that medicine is supposed to be bad or uncomfortable or gross influenced what people thought would be effective.

Podcast: Shmanners

Episode: Holiday Special: Saint Patrick’s Day

Commentary: I happened to listen to this on the day of Ireland’s Yes vote, which seemed appropriate :D

Podcast: The Thrilling Adventure Hour

Episode: #98: The full Christmas episode from December 3, 2011!

Commentary: I was advised to listen to this out of order with other episodes to keep the Sparks Nevada story in chronological order - shoutout to the TAH wiki

Episode: #74: Sparks Nevada, Marshal on Mars, “Hypercattle Overdrive”

Commentary: This intro without Croach. I don’t like it.

Episode: #75: War of Two Worlds, Part 4

Commentary: Okay I’m still not a huge fan of War of Two Worlds but “I’m on a wheatgrass diet” did crack me up

I don’t have a flatiron but I have a curler (I really need both - my hair exists in a state of frizzy waves) but oh my god do I feel this problem. Plus the number of people I’ve seen burn themselves with straighteners or curlers in backstage dressing rooms... it’s just the worst

Scooby Doo was made with a budget of five dollars and a sandwich, you really can’t judge it against any kind of real standard lmao

Commentary:

To be fair I’ve never looked it up at all, or just in general had a reason to research it, but I didn’t actually realize acupuncture was this pseudo-sciencey/based on the concept of chi and such; for some reason I was under the impression that it was more in line with like PT type stuff? I mean I guess I thought it was like chiropractic, which I know can be practiced poorly, but my understanding is that when done well by people who genuinely know what they’re doing it does have a basis in the way our bodies actually work

I had much the same reaction listening to that initial You Are A Liar episode - smiling denial is a very good way to describe it. I’m glad Benjamin is reexamining his assumptions but that is the kind of man I know I can’t trust to ever help me. He might not be the person to rape me, but he would walk right past me while someone else chases me down the street and tell me it’s rude to run away

Commentary: 

One of the things I liked about the first season of Within the Wires was how extremely immersive it was, because “you” were a character who didn’t even get named for so long. I like season 2 a lot, but one of the critiques I could make of it was that some of those tapes were not tapes that anyone would plausibly hear, while Season 1 and 3 really insert you as a specific character (Hester, Amy), who is listening and responding to these tapes. I know this is talking to Hester but it still kind of startles me to hear her name addressed because you spend so much time in the first season where you don’t have any idea what the character’s name is, or even their gender. They’re just more or less you, with a new backstory
