Quick edit. I had no idea pod casts were so popular. Thank you all for posting. I have a lot of content to check out.

    I like behind the bastards, you get to learn the history of both living and dead ass holes in some good detail.

    If I want a laugh at pop culture, the weekly planet is my go to, it’s funny chat about comic books, movies and comic book movies. Plus the back catalogue is huge so chances are they’ve had an episode about something you’ve liked. I just really like laughing at things I’ve enjoyed.

    Also check out debunking a murderer. Remember making a murderer on Netflix? Turns out that doc was bullshit, dude totally did those murders. Hear the prosecutors side and all the evidence the Netflix show left out.

    Finally, slow burn. A long format episodic deep dive into recent history. Each season covers some important events, like Nixon, tupac and biggie, Bill Clinton, etc. Ilearned a lot from it.

      I don’t know one way or another but it was pretty clear that there was a lot of shaky evidence and a lot of coerced confession stuff which definitely doesn’t seem like justice. There was also a second season of that show where they brought in a much better lawyer (who specializes in exonerating false convictions) and showed some more significant problems with the prosecutor’s case and also that the guy’s defence lawyers were not the most competent (and IIRC also uncovered that the guy’s brother in law had a collection of r*pe porn images on his laptop)

          I might. I’m not as big on the podcast format for true crime stuff. I much prefer the docu format. But it’s okay, what I believe on the matter doesn’t matter that much. I’ll take your word for it that the podcast makes a compelling case for the other side.

      I second Behind the Bastards. I would also check out Knowledge Fight if you like making fun of Alex Jones. Dogg Zzone 9000 is great for just laughing your ass off.

        I tried behind the bastards, and really liked the first few (older?) episodes. But it soon felt too shallow, especially when the main host isn’t speaking – imo the other guests were only there to provide quips. Personal opinion, of course. Maybe this got better?

        I switched over to QAA to scratch this itch for laughing at conspiracy theorists.
