I like Serial (and S-Town), but I always found they petered out toward the end.

That's the nature of reality, I suppose. With the first season in particular, there was no chance of a shocking climax as you know from the start that Adnan was in prison for murder.

At least with Making a Murderer, there were a few shocking moments along the way. Serial has always felt like a fascinating journey, rather than a destination.

The new series is supposedly different as they've been resident in a courthouse for a few months and following lots of different, everyday cases. Should be interesting.

Dirty John had a cracker of an ending, though.

That's what made it better than Serial and S-town, in my head.

Doctor Death is grim* listening so far. The adverts in it are just hilarious though.

What is it about podcasts that the only things they ever seem to advertise are recruitment agencies and mattresses?

But nothing else

Except Squarespace

And HelloFresh

SquareSpace and Hello Fresh are all over YouTube as well in terms of sponsored content; they must have massive advertising budgets. Or these kind of adverts are really cheap...

Totally forgot to post about this. The always brilliant Julia Davis and someone called Vicki Pepperdine do a podcast called "Dear Joan and Jericha" which sees them as a pair of agony aunts talking through problems allegedly sent in by listeners. Pretty much the entire thing seems to be ad-libbed and it's weird, twisted and very funny throughout.

The animated 'Rex Factor' on Richard III is rather charming. Only 17 minutes so they've cut a lot of the story out, but an enjoyable take on the podcast of kings.

Just listened to the first part of Empire-ical Evidence on Radio 4. Andy Zaltzman and Anuvab Pal wander around London discussing how we remember the Empire today. Part Two takes the view from India.

Clive Anderson talks a range of interesting Law stuff. Might be worth a listen?

Listened to the recent Richard Herring podcast with Ross Noble earlier. It was all decent but his stories from working with Mel Brooks were ace.

This season of Porno is utter gold.

This season is very good. I’m annoyed I’m always too lazy to bother getting tickets.

I want to know which member of the royal family he was carrying.

Grim... · **Posted:** Fri Nov 09, 2018 9:19

In a rare "ahead of the curve" moment I've already listened to today's porno guest's podcast. It's called The Butterfly Effect, and it's about how Pornhub changed the porn industry and, in turn, the world.

It's really interesting.

Going to see Rex Factor Live tonight!
Debating whether to get them to sign my copy of Dan Jones' 'Plantegenants', or perhaps my battered and well-thumbed edition of Tom Paine.

What are they up to now?

Sorry, that wasn’t clear. Ep 1 of season 4.
It just felt like the same stuff as before.

Whaaa? Seriously? Ep1 was the wedding, wasn't it?

Dr Zoidberg · **Joined:** 15th Oct, 2010 **Posts:** 3556

Don’t think that was in the one I heard. There was a mysterious man at the wedding.....

Grim... · **Posted:** Fri Nov 09, 2018 21:44

Ah, the wedding went on for three chapters, so I may have been confused.

Went to see Rex Factor live last night in a small pub basement. Very enjoyable, and everyone hung around the pub afterwards. Graham and Ali were very sociable too.
Had so much fun the show finished just before 9 but we left the pub at midnight! I now owe Ali a pint as he bought everyone a round.

Serial season 3 is out, if you didn't know because Gaywood didn't tell you.

Oh God, the Christmas episode of Porno is brilliant.

I can recommend "The Offensive" podcast.

https://radiostakhanov.com/theoffensive/

...it's basically The Thick of It set in the context of the management team of football club.

Sounds intriguing. Subscribed!

The SGU's 'Science or Fiction' this week was all about bear safety. Brilliant stuff, although oddly 'buy them a drink' was not one of the solutions.
I'm increasingly convinced that the heavy lifting on the show is done by Steve and Cara. I find her interjections usually more informed and well-pitched than the other panellists.
