    Sort by controversial and the top ~20 comments are the Joe Rogan podcast :agony-shivering:

      "The downvotes be damned. By no would I listen to every episode, but to write it off entirely is to write off a lot of cultural landmark stuff. Even if you hate Joe, he gets some of the most interesting people in the world on that damn show."

      1. maybe some cultural landmark stuff is better off being written off?

      2. no he fucking doesnt.

        He's had Abby Martin on once or twice to talk about Palestine, but I think that's about it.

        And I'm fairly sure his entire fanbase hates everything she stands for so ya know.

    Dan Carlin always ranks way too high in these sorts of discussions for my taste. Sure he knows how to paint a picture with words, but too many people ignore his dad-level historical interpretation and his "hey I'm just asking questions" approach of discussion topics. He seems like he's only a couple steps away from using the n-word for the sake of "historical accuracy."

      unsubbed from every podcast of his after he started crying about civility politics and invited :my-hero: onto the show

      I've wondered if he's hiding his influences a bit. He's always quoting "decades where weeks happen, weeks where decades happen" and then saying he's not sure who originally said it, while citing every other quote.

      I've only listened to his WWI series (because it's freely available), but I thought it was quite good.

      He really focused heavily on primary sources. You get a real feel for what things were like on the ground and how people were feeling and how they were contextualizing those feelings.

      I think it's a good listen if only for the compilation of primary evidence narrated in such a way. Then you can discard his lib interpretation.

    The OP explicitly asks for something actually worth listening to, and they actually give him the 2nd biggest waste of time behind the H3 Podcast as the top result.

      Seriously unlistenable. Do they ever actually talk about engineering? I've listened to multiple episodes for like an hour and they just shoot the shit the whole time

        Sometimes yes... But I am definitely not wading through their vids to find an example.

      Liam has an econ degree Alice is a law school dropout. I'm not sure if Rocz was ever a licensed professional engineer or just got the degree.

        He once said he oversaw a building demolition once so I assume he's got actual on the ground experience

          Doesn't neccesarily mean he has a PE, those tend to be very rare among engineers as you only need a few to sign off. But I think they're also more common in civil engineering, so maybe he does.

    Reminds me to ask if anyone is up on posting their premium eps. I think kingdex has the audio, but I like to look at the slides sometimes.
