    If anyones interested in what that Stormy Daniels lawyer is up to nowadays. May I reccomend This Week In Atrocity which was hilarious this week. They get a couple of lawyers to go through the various crimes Avenatti's being accused of/bang to rights on and it's the classic case of 'Italian-American shouts at people to get his way until he shouts at the wrong people and his world falls apart'

    Anyone recommend some comedy podcasts?

    I got into the podcast game by discovering Athletico Mince the other month and binged it but have now fully caught up so I need something else.

    I tried Free to a Good Home which seemed to have some promise with the first couple of episodes but now Michael Hing et al just piss me off.

    Been listening to Caliphate by Rukmini Callimachi of the New York Times. She's great, and the first half of it is immense and pretty gripping, but I've lost interest with the second half of it where she's reporting from Mosul.

    Anything similar I should listen to? Serialised documentary style stuff.

    This new thing of podcasts (clearly getting money) hosting specific shows only on Spotify is really tedious. It's not a good podcast app and I don't want to use it.

    It annoys me that you can't make playlists of podcasts on there.

    Anyone given Undr the Cosh a go?

    "The official YouTube channel of the Undr The Cosh Podcast where ex and current professional footballers meet Comedian Chris Browne along with ex -Sunderland, Cardiff, Doncaster and Stoke strikers Chris Brown and Jon Parkin."

    They get random older footballers on to just talk bollocks for an hour. A decent laugh. I really enjoyed the Mark Crossley one due to the number of Clough stories

    Sounds interesting but they'll have to have someone I'm interested in to take the dive. They're all a bit pre my time or lower league journeyman.

    Good podcasts that aren't done by annoying-voiced Americans (the vast majority of them)?

    The only American podcasts I've been able to put up with are My Brother, my Brother and me (might be a problem for you) as well as Judge John Hodgman but I haven't listened to that many yet.

    Literally couldn’t think of two podcasts with more annoying voices than Travis McElroy and John Hodgman so well done.

    Maybe growing up around the accent has numbed me to it. There’s only a couple that aggravate me enough to ignore.

    Edit: Hodgmans not that bad thinking about it. It’s Jon Ronson with an American accent.

    There was a true crime podcast I started listening to a few years ago that was really good, but the vocal fry on the presenter grated on me so much I just had to stop listening to it.

    Hodgman's voice is silk.

    Travis is a little ropey which is why I did say it might not be to his liking.

    It's not My Favourite Murder is it? I had high hopes for that one but I had to give up very quickly.

    The worst thing about American podcasts (as with all American media be it TV, films etc) is that they have far too much money to play with and as a result, the editing is absolutely dreadful.

    Podcasts are always at their best when there is clearly 1 hour of hired studio time which has to be used wisely.

    How Did This Get Made can be great fun when they've got the right combination of guest and film. It's Paul Scheer, Jason Mantzoukas, and June Diane Raphael lolling at shitty films along with a guest or two. It suffers a bit from being recorded live, and I always switch off the moment they start going to the audience for comment, but there's generally a good forty minutes to an hour before they do that. I'd recommend the episode on Sky Captain with Joe Mande as a decent representation of the product as a whole.

    I see you're all taking 'that aren't done by annoying-voiced Americans' as a challenge rather than advice to just steer clear of Americans so I'll rephrase - any good podcasts that aren't American?

    And preferably not 'ho ho ho, aren't we so clever and witty' radio 4 comedy shit either. In fact, generally no comedy at all. I'd prefer something informative. But definitely no radio 4 comedy.

    I listen to podcasts for around 5 hours a day on average and still don't listen to one American one, not even NFL ones.

    Anyone who listens to Second Captains, they run this during the summer too when they have a show on Radio 1.

    I can't work out if there's anything about the voice that I would find so distracting if I didn't know what the deal was.

    Is she putting the voice on or is it hormone treatment taking it's effect. If it's the former then she can fuck right off.

    The latter. You can hear it in the laugh.

    Yeah the laugh was the first point when I realized it wasn't being entirely put on at least.

    For something that seems to be such a default for people, and thus I had high hopes for, the Apple Podcasts app is fucking rubbish.

    It’s the only thing I’ve found so far that’s absolutely useless (maybe the AppStore too a bit) yet every podcast you listen to references it like it’s the only way to listen to anything. Is it just because it’s the only one with a rating system?

    After my last experience of spending big money on a steaming pile of a Windows machine, I’d happily try a Mac next time and I’m about as creative as a table.

    My 2015 MacBook is one of the best things I've ever bought, and easily the best computer. Still works as well as it did the day I bought it. You would hope that would be a given for a thousand pound laptop, but it's not.

    Had to bin the Ramble after listening for years , the only slightly bearable one now is Marcus.
    I think Jimmy Flloyd perfectly summed up football podcasts in this thread previously.

    Michael Bispings podcast is great, he's actually very funny and has a great rapport with Luis J Gomez, though understandably Luis isn't to everyone's taste.

    Jim doesn't say anything, Luke dominates the conversation while just repeating what he said last week. The only thing it's good for now is Pete and when it goes off the wheels.

    I hate that they're taking Patreon donations and still have a show sponsored by a gambling company as well.

    Yeah, the excessive betting sponsorship is a bit off.

    Also, they basically release a podcast every day now - I still only listen to the preview and review show. They seem to think that people want more - they don't.

    The Tuesday show is just the Monday show with two less entertaining people and the Thursday show is just James Horncastle repeating whatever he's said on the Totally Football Show two days previous. It's really poor.

    edit: It's telling that they've hidden how many people they have subscribed to them on Patreon. Everyone else shows it off. They've clearly had a bunch of investment in them (advertising on the London Underground isn't cheap) but I can't see how they'll make it back.

    The main GAA one I listen to has been completely overrun with Paddy Power lately too. At least it's free but it's bullshit.
