Well, I think Armstrong himself summed it up pretty well in Rogan's podcast. Rogan was trying to justify/explain/normalise the cheating a little, and Armstrong said that people might have been able to get over the cheating, but how he aggressively went after his whistle blowers is something they can't get over.

I've good things about this one:

"Imagine if your Dad wrote a dirty book. Most people would try to ignore it and pretend it had never happened - but not Jamie Morton. Instead, he's decided to read it to the world in this brand new comedy podcast. With the help of his friends, James Cooper and BBC Radio 1's Alice Levine, Jamie will be reading a chapter a week and discovering more about his father than he ever bargained for."

Radiolab have some decent ones but they are short, I'd be interested in what others think of this because I think in one way or another it is in our future and it has pretty huge ramifications .
Update: Eye In the Sky
Ross McNutt has a superpower — he can zoom in on everyday life, then rewind and fast-forward to solve crimes in a shutter-flash. But should he?

@Duluth I actually like Stav. I find enthusiasm infectious. I love that he enquires of every woman mentioned if "they have nice big titties?"
I understand that a lot of people are put off by his cackle though. Guess I just got used to it fast.
Cousin Ralph is my favourite character.

Jegga did you ever take Rogans advice and lisren to Dan Carlins history casts?
I did and while I lost about 2 days, by christ I feel educated on the first world war!
Very good
Second vote for Carlin, the one about the mongols was a cracking listen too, was free when I got it, but his stuff sometimes charges
538 does a good, pretty even handed, weekly US politics podcast -
FiveThirtyEight Politics Show - PodCenter - ESPN Radio
Nate Silver and the FiveThirtyEight team cover the latest in politics, tracking the issues and "game-changers" every week.
Chapo Trap house is probably best described as US poltics for anarchists, they take an entertaining shit on pretty much everyone -

Just listened. It sounds like they keep him lower in the mix. I wonder if he's nervous on other shows too, he seemed to cackle a lot less here.

The podcast guest I cannot stand is Jim Norton. Dumb as shit, and not even remotely funny.
He's uneven. He's brilliant when sitting with someone he likes (Colin Quinn, Cumia, Gervais or going back a few years Patrice O'Neal)
But he gets weirdly passive aggressive with some comics, like when Mullen was on his radio show. -

If you like history then the History Extra Podcast is good. It focuses on one or two topics per episode and is usually a chat with a historian who's written a book about the topic.
Good for finding out new info from a broad range of topics.
One warning is that the presenters are pretty dry so if you like Carlin's style be warned it's quite different.
If you like movies then Empire Magazine podcast is good.

BTW, what's your favourite Sam Hyde bit?
Have I admitted to enjoying his stuff or was that a guess?
I understand why people either love or hate 'world peace' but he shouldn't have attracted so much hatred. Particularly disappointing were the other comics that campaigned to get it cancelled.
Whats good? I enjoy his rants. Kickstarter TV has some good moments. Thats where he breaks down various kickstarter projects that are based on entitlement or delusions of grandeur (such as the feminist cycle trip to the middle east that would ultimately end with a spoken word performance to educate people about her experiences)
The MDE skit Moms is brutal. I can understand why most people would hate it though
His standup (delivered terribly) is about getting a pearl clutching reaction. The cunty jokes are only part of the bit.. the audience reaction is just as important
Even 'Jews Rock' I find funny. Making fun of the people who truely believe he's a racist, who then must bow before his jewish masters at Adult Swim

@Duluth Just a guess.
World Peace wasn't my thing, but some of his stuff cracks me up. I loved KSTV.
I think my favourite bit (more to think about than to laugh at immediately) is when he takes fantasies of morally justified violence and takes them to a ludicrous extreme with ... Lena Dunham. e.g. "If I was put in a self-defence situation by Lena Dunham where I had to defend my life, and the lives of family, from her, I would ..." and goes on to describe beating her in absurdly graphic detail.

Yeah, that was really annoying. Especially all the lame dipshits who tried to get more cred by taking potshots at him. You just know that they've posted the "love that memory/cheap lambrusco wine" memes a million times as well.

About This Show
On February 15, 2014, fitness guru Richard Simmons disappeared. He stopped teaching his regular exercise class at Slimmons, cut off his closest friends, and removed himself from the public eye after decades as one of the most accessible celebrities in the world. Nobody has heard from him — and no one knows why he left. Filmmaker Dan Taberski was a Slimmons regular and a friend of Richard’s. Missing Richard Simmons is Dan’s search for Richard — and the deeper he digs, the stranger it gets.
