This is so good. Listened to about six episodes so far. Ron Stampler is a national treasure. 

Yeah, but its still not a BDSM podcast....

There are definite undertones and constant references to BDSM though.

Just listened to last weeks episode today. I swear they got near nothing done. Such good humour

I’m onto my fourth D&D podcast (Dungeons & Daddies, Not Another D&D Podcast, The Dark Dice, The Lucky Die) yet I still have no idea how the actual game works.

Roll the dice, swing the sword, ruin the DMs plans.

Also if you want a new one, try The Adventure Zone. They've just started their completely new season (called graduation) so there's only three episodes if you wanted to get in early. No knowledge of the previous two seasons necessary.

I actually did that one time in a game at a convention. But to be fair, it was his fault for how he set the game up, using pregenerated characters with the Player Option rules. (Long story short, I one-shot the main boss with a critical hit.)

Sounds like a win to me!

In 2018 comedian and writer Jamie Loftus joined Mensa as a joke. She wrote the now infamous article, 'Good News, They Let Dumb Sluts into Mensa Now'. I remember reading it at the time. In the year after that article was posted, Jamie was subjected to online abuse and death threats from the surprisingly right-wing userbase of the world's oldest and largest high IQ society.

She has just released a limited, four-part Podcast called My Year in Mensa. It's very interesting and funny and I definitely recommend it. It's just four parts of about forty minutes each, and it all came out on NYD. I'm just about done with episode two.

Thanks for this suggestion. Started on the season noted and loving it. It's hilarious.

I know I can just delete the podcast from my feed but I hate when a podcast feed posts a podcast from another podcast.

Earwolf podcasts do this from time to time.  It's a promotional tool for  other podcasts. Usually it will involve someone from the podcast you're subbed to.

Because I am subscribed to I Was There Too and Spontaneanation sometimes I'll get promo stuff for Superego because Matt Gourley (IWTT) and Paul F Tompkins (Spont) are involved in that.

Sometimes it's a  trailer or sometimes a full episode. It's occasionally a bit of a let down when it's a dormant podcast feed only being used to promote something on stitcher premium.

I am also subscribed to Superego which complicates matters as I get some things in multiple feeds.

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

Yeah, Earwolf and Gimlet Media are the two organizations that use this advertising tool. It's honestly such a minor inconvenience but it greatly annoys me.

[C-MIL]

I am the sucker that gives them a chance.

Now that I've finished Wikishuffle again (), I'm looking for podcast recommendations. If I'm being honest, I want a podcast that's three white guys recording from a shed on the M62 - the subject can be whatever (preferably not wrestling), but I want to listen to the developing camaraderie between the hosts.

And to make things more awkward: no celebrities because fuck them muscling in on podcasting, and no podcasts that inexplicably have six producers and three sound editors.

Have you listened to My Brother, My Brother and Me? They're basically podcast celebrities at this point, with 500 episodes under their belt, a TV show, voice-over work in a dreamworks movie, successful tie-ins with Wizards of the Coast and all that, but if you start at episode one, which was ten years ago, it's just three brothers who started a podcast so they would have an excuse to skype call each other once a week.

I finally listened to S-Town and I was hooked. I’m not really sure how to feel about it due to the circumstances but it was one hell of a listen.

I’ve also been listening to Monster: DC Sniper which has been a tremendous series thus far.

I am on the lookout for more limited series, true crime is my thing at the moment but am open to suggestions for other genres. Preferably something that’s easy to listen to but informative and fascinating at the same time.

I mentioned it earlier in the thread, but My Year in MENSA is pretty good.

A girl joined MENSA as a joke, and it turned out that the MENSA community is full of right wing memeing, hardcore trump fans, doxxing, death threats and a deep schism that the higer ups in the organisation have been covering-up/ignoring.

It's good. Only four episodes.
