I'm still on the waiting list for Bad Blood at the local library so I'm trying to avoid the new documentary on HBO. (It's irrational, but I feel like it's always better to read the book first?)

Not irrational to me. I don't think I've ever gone back and read a book, fiction or nonfiction, if I've seen the documentary or movie. I absolutely love seeing movies of books I've read (well, when they're done well).

Re: Podcasts
The writer Michael Lewis (Liar's Poker," Moneyball," The Big Short" - that guy) has a new podcast called "Against The Rules" where he examines how fairness in America is eroding due to people not following rules (or something like that).
The first episode about the NBA and its refs was okay, but the second one about student debt is so maddening. Seriously - talk about a corrupt system. Grrrr!

I am a big fan of Business Wars by Wondery. They just launched Sports Wars and it is equally good. First series was Favre v. Aaron and now Ferrari v. Lamborghini.

Tig Nataro was very funny (if you can deal with her low energy style, which I happen to love.)

Re: Podcasts
There's a podcast called 'The 500' where comedian Josh Adam Meyers has other comedians on and they break down an album from Rolling Stone's "Top 500 Albums". Should be right in my wheelhouse.
But, sadly, it mostly sucks, mainly because the host is just not that good/funny. Great idea, poorly executed.

Tons. I was thinking of writing up something for each 50 albums like "most surprising/disappointing/overrated" etc. When I get a little time I'll answer this question more specifically.

Really Good Look At Stevie Wonder's Career
I love Stevie Wonder, and this Slate podcast points out that his run of greatness in the late 60s and 70s is pretty much unequalled in pop music history.

Fantastic bit of trivia from that podcast - on Stevie's first hit (the live version of "Fingertips") the drummer was Marvin Gaye.

Re: Podcasts
The REM podcast I listened to was the same way. It takes a while to get into when you're just looking for the topic but probably helps it avoid being tedious like the podcast about The National I had to give up on?
(I know the idea of a non-sports fantasy draft isn't new, but I also remember the Gentille/Lambert one doing those several years ago.)

Re: Podcasts
Ry - To answer your question, yes, this is true of just about every episode of AFE. They typically joke about it near the top, after someone goes on a rambling aside and another host will say "...it's that kind of podcast."mister d wrote: ↑Wed Jun 12, 2019 9:52 amThe REM podcast I listened to was the same way.

(I know the idea of a non-sports fantasy draft isn't new, but I also remember the Gentille/Lambert one doing those several years ago.)
Part of the issue is that if they just hopped into the draft, they'd need to dwell on each pick for a lot longer and, frankly, for a lot of the drafts the picks aren't really where "the funny" lives. The really long episodes are the ones where they have a long preamble and then the draft topic is so meaty that they spend a bunch of time breaking things down along the way.
I absolutely love this podcast and I'm thinking of catching them when they come through DC next month. But my one criticism is they should do a bit more homework. There are some shows where they really don't know the topic and can't really explain their pick or critique other picks.

Oh, thanks for reminding about this one! I listened to the pilot/1st episode and wasn't really sold on it. But given these posts (well, the ones saying how "whoa" it is, not the spoilers) I'll pick it back up.

And yeah...sometimes the topics can be too 'broad' so a selection could be something that the other drafters have no idea what they are talking about.
The ones that are generally the best (IMHO) are the ones with really off-beat topics...like the recent 'Things to scream after slam dunking a basketball over an opponent'.

I was pleasantry surprised this week with the non-Ian episode on Tom Hanks movies. The thing is... the guest actually carried the show, because she could recall so many scenes from the various movies. That's kind of what I'm talking about with knowledge/research. I don't want to take the show seriously (obviously), but as it has grown, I think they need to tighten it up just a little bit.
The show here in DC is at the Black Cat, which is a relatively large venue. So I have time to decide/recruit someone to go with me.
