Yep. It's awesome.

"The Black Tapes is a weekly podcast from the creators of Pacific Northwest Stories, and is hosted by Alex Reagan. The Black Tapes is a serialized docudrama about one journalist's search for truth, her subject's mysterious past, and the literal and figurative ghosts that haunt them both.

How do you feel about paranormal activity or supernatural? Ghosts? Spirits? Demons?

Do you believe?"

I'm a few minutes into this. It's clearly inspired by Serial, even down to the music and editing.

Another show I've been enjoying is euphomet

Everyone should listen to The Dollop, but especially the Action Park episode.

Remember Jook who used to post on here? Yes, the Jook?

He has a podcast called Wikishuffle, and truth be told, it's fucking awesome. Excellent rapport between the guests, amazing concept, just really well done. I recommend listening to it.

Wikishuffle is trying to win an award at the moment, so if you've got a moment, could everyone please vote for it? The link is here: http://ukpodcasters.com/directory/podcast/wikishuffle/.

Or don't vote, up to you. But the podcast is pretty great.

That sounds amazing. I know what I'm listening to today!

Kevin Smith and Matt Mira are now doing a Frasier podcast that is supposed to serve as a commentary track for all 200+ episodes.  It's pretty amazing.

Pistol Shrimps Radio is a podcast where Mark McConville and Matt Gourley commentate on  women's recreational league basketball team the Pistol Shrimps. Neither of them know very much about basketball. This podcast should not work but it does:

Chris Pratt's appearance on The Nerdist cements he may be the coolest movie star ever. Though way too much of the episode involved Chris Hardwick talking about how Pratt transformed from his Andy Dwyer body into his Starlord body and Hardwick used that as a stepping stone to talk about how he used to be fat.

I've tried listening to The Black Tapes and Limetown but I can't get over the acting in them, blah.

I hate that Lore episodes are so short.

I do have to say that I am like, 20 minutes into the first episode of Pistol Shrimps Radio and I am loving it already.

I've never had any issue with the acting on the black Tapes. It all sounds fine to me. The only bump was that I knew who the actor for Percy Black was.

Can someone suggest a political/news comedy podcast in the vein of The Bugle? I'm getting withdrawal from a general lack of pun runs and mocking of middle eastern dictators.

[Benji]

Anyone?

[MalaCloudy Black]

On The Hour, maybe? Matt Forde's Political Party? I'm just reading these off a list. >_>

I think I'm probably looking too much for Bugle 2.0 to be honest. Might try something fresh. Anyone listen to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History? It sounds like the sort of thing that'd be up my alley.

It was indeed. I only listened to half an hour so far of the first "Wrath of the Khans" and it's pretty great.

I don't know if I mentioned it but Spontaneanation is Paul F Tompkin's new podcast. It is brilliant. It is improvised from start to finish. It starts with an improv monologue, followed by an interview where the opening question comes from the previous weeks guest and then finishes with a long form improv sketch based on a scene suggested by that weeks guest.

 

Dave Foley's (Mars Base 3) episode is probably my favorite so far although Michael Sheen's (Ghost Sex Convention) is pretty great too. They're all pretty great tbh.

This week's one with Jim Rash is the new peak.

[apsham]

Hooooly fuck there are episodes with Bruce McCullough, Jonathan Coulton and John Hodgman. I'm in love.

[Hobo]

I feel like I should listen to Hardcore History but I am reluctant as non Comedy podcasts don't often survive long with me.

[Benji]

They're quite long, some three hours or so. I'm finding it good to just dip in and out of rather than listen in one go. The first of the Khan ones was a good jumping in point for me.

[apsham]

Aren't only the last few of those available? That turned me off the idea of getting into it.
