Outside of a handful, the majority of podcasts are repetitious enough these days that I would rather listen to a bunch of theater nerds play through a long Dungeons and Dragons campaign together than listen to those podcasts.

You ever listen to Robert Friedland? I think he is one of the most interesting people alive today…..rarely goes on pods but always phenomenal. Check out him on Smarter Markets podcast.
Well, I don’t mean to brag but…my new Tiefling Warlock 🧙🏾‍♂️ character is progressing nicely 😏

I'm done with podcasts. It was fun for a while, but the lack of editing is just frustrating. People talking for hours like I have hours. Maybe others do, but I don't. I'll miss things for sure, but if it's important or interesting enough, someone will talk about it and I'll tune if if I feel like it.
I think I get where you’re coming from..and I feel the same. I believe it’s because Bitcoiners have become so bored with how the future is playing out exactly as we’ve envisioned it, that we either reject social media, OR we constantly seek someone who’ll offer something we haven’t already foreseen years ago, and on a weekly basis. Either way, I’ve grown bored, as I suspect maybe you’re expressing the same? Bitcoin has, imho, outgrown social media, and is going to fomo into realms of genuine responsibility that don’t just sit around and talk about it on social media.. I don’t know if I’m expressing this correctly but personally, I cannot fucking wait for this.

This is why I have been listening to True Anon for the entirety of its existence
When the barrier to create is so low there is bound to be a lot more chaff to sift through. Plus you have big players driven by pushing bad podcasts that might feature a one time celebrity. Originality is hard to find in a sea of mediocrity.

My style with podcasts is entertain very few new episodes. I save a few favorites and listen to those later on during reflection and motivation time over and over (and only in parts) to remind of lessons.
"the majority of podcasts" - I mean, there are 4.3mn podcasts available. I'm glad you've managed to listen to them all. Even the D&D play-by-play ones. Tip: go find a podcast called "New Podcast Trailers", which is a set of new shows every day. I curate it, but you'll never hear me there!

Are there any good podcasts that focus on martial arts?
Then give us a listen sometime and maybe send a boost through a Podcasting 2.0 app. I orange-pilled all our players over the last couple years. We aren't theater nerds, just normies with jobs and families who like tabletop RPGs. https://fountain.fm/show/zdPrsM3xGJ1sZTh3qhtX A lot of people like to start with this episode:
So what podcasts are better than D&D? I don’t like that every formate seems like it’s 1+ hour and I refuse to watch YouTube podcasts. Why can’t they figure out how to post graphics in Fountain or a link in a chapter show note?

That being said, I still have a backlog of podcasts to hear. I've branched out to health, nutrition, carnivore, and modern survival. Robert Breedlove, Guy Swann, Jack Spirko TSP, Dr. Saifedean Ammous, Natalie Brunell, Tim Farris, Dr. Shawn Baker, Richard Smith The Keto Pro, Ivor Cummins, Dr. Anthony Chaffee, Dr. Ron Paul, AI in Business Podcast, and the TWiT network series podcasts.
This can probably be quantified by looking at the rate of episodes in which podcasters interview other podcasters... to fuel the repetitiveness and echo-chamber. Feels like I've witnessed more of this lately. Need to shift gears and reactivate an old passion. Anyone have a recommendation for a Magic the Gathering podcast?

I enjoy the glass cannon podcast for that reason. The whole giant slayer arc is good.

have been struggling to find anything good lately too. how long til you start a D&D podcast Lyn??
I stopped listening Lex after he (almost) stopped interviewing AI and Science people and go into the celebrities and stuff. I’m not saying they are bad it is just not my thing. I think Lex can have much more interesting conversations with the other science/AI people.
Ya absolutely, I usually don’t listen to the non science ones…..with the exception of Michael Malice, I love him and Lex’s back and forth
Have you ever watched voice actors playing through a long campaign of Dungeons & Dragons?? It is undoubtedly more interesting than 99.9% of podcasts (I mean that without sarcasm — the voice actors really bring the game to life).
Glass Cannon Podcast. They played through the entire Giantslayer adventure path from Paizo using the Pathfinser rule system. Have done more too but I lost track of it all.
The space is saturated, the "knowledge" frequently borrowed or recycled. Glad it's there to get noobs up to speed, but there comes a "graduation day" where you don't understand all of Bitcoin, but you're ready to stop being spoonfed. You get the basic concepts. That's my experience. My two sats. You probably hit that point long ago, especially being one of the experts called upon.
