The latest Dollop podcast is one of their funniest yet. This time they look at the decidedly kooky cult Synanon, whose leader was noted for his impulsive edicts. The one requiring all members to ride Harkey Davidson motorcycles had me cracking up.

@jegga I've been listening to The Caliphate lately, I still can't get into Revolutions because of the guys voice. The Caliphate is about ISIS, and focuses on interviews with ex ISIS members - I'm about midway through and really enjoying it.
I also felt the last Martyrmade on Israel-Palestine was a bit rushed and he probably downplayed too much the threat to Israel militarily once the 1948 war kicked off.
Interesting stuff about Begin - I had no idea of his history other then Israeli politics and Irgun.
I also feel his discussion of the media was heavily US focused - contrary to his thoughts Palestine having been doing pretty well in the 'media war' for a good couple of decades now. I guess when all you have is the US media companies then it will still seem completely slanted.
Will have a break before listening to more of his.

Just listened to Gone Fishing (About Deane Fuller-Sandys and his dodgily convicted murderer Gail Maney), which was pretty good, although seemed to end abruptly without an "ending", maybe I wasn't listening properly. From the peeps that did Black Hands.
Sworn is good, from the guys that did Up and Vanished, although led by the solicitor Philip Holloway.
Unravel season 2 is out now too, if anyone enjoyed S1.

@nepia on that genre, a really good Aussie one is Unravel. The Untold is also really good as is Up and Vanished.
After my break from these types of podcasts I've started listening to this. 8 episodes in it's going pretty good, and he's improving the standard of the podcast as he goes. I hate the Law and Order voiceover style that his mate does though.

Radiolab pulled this because of the predictable response from the npc crowd , you can find other great clips on line done by other people but I like this one.
Sorry what is npc? ... isn't it Mitre 10 Cup these days (/dad joke).
Have seen it pop up a couple of times in recent days. Assuming it's some reference to the sjw crowd ... ?

Hah yeah that's awful. Gets pretty damn juicy pretty soon if you steer clear of researching what's actually happened since.

Yeah, I'm avoiding reading up on anything, I did that with the shit Aussie one (the league player one) which I can't remember the name for - maybe it wouldn't have been so shit if I hadn't done any reading?

@bones said in Good podcasts:
@nepia Unravel is another definitely worth catching.
Will have to wait until I've had a break, I get tired of the true crime genre and like to break it up with history/film/stuff etc podcasts. But I've got it on my list from when you mentioned it last time - better not be shit like the other Oz one though.

@bones is up and vanished worth persevering with?
Nah give it a miss bro it's awful.
I listened to the first episode and it was ok but for some reason the next episode that came up was season two and him interviewing Kenneth Branagh ? I couldn't be arsed trying to try and find the second episode.
I was hoping it would be as good as black hands.
