☆ Do you guys listen to podcasts? Which are your favorites? Of late I have been interested in Stuff You Missed In History Class and WNYC's RadiolabThe latter in particular appeals to my hunger for unconventional factoids. My high school best friend was raised by a pair of Anthropology professors who, true to their discipline, were so omnivorous in ( Read more... )

Thanks for the reminder on Radiolab! I've been avoiding most NPR-affiliated podcasts for a while*, and had forgotten there was a more upbeat one in the mix.

I only listen to one podcast and it's the Drunk Tank. It's mainly a group of thirtysomething-year old guys being dudes and talking about video games and making fun of people. It's good to listen to when you have to do a mundane task (folding laundry) and have no one to talk to (because they'll converse for you!) They also talk about food in Austin, TX a lot and it makes me want to move there.

It's like hanging out with a group of frat guys except you only have to put up with them for about an hour a week and can put them on pause.

OK, you're like the third person I know to recommend Radiolab, clearly I need to get on this already. And anything called Stuff You Missed in History Class has to be awesome.

My experience with DW fandom is basically limited to fandomsecrets (and 800 awful Ten/Rose vids on youtube, the descriptions for which all basically start out "Ten Wants Rose Badly And Rose Wants Ten So Badly But") but even from there I get the impression that it's large and rather deranged.

Get onnn it gurl, I just listened to the Detective Stories piece and it was really touching :')

Especially the B.C. pornography: "He was as thick as a ceiling beam." Uh huh mmmm /takes notes for historical fic

I am ruminating an Essay about the Ten/Rose snafu, and why in retrospect I see what was happening. ie Ten is self-involved, but also Isn't It Nice to Be Loved!!! Yeah. Asshole.

I think I used to listen to podcasts but that might be the drugs talking.

Inspired by your posts and our convo, I have seized my stomach flu as a chance to rewatch s1. Nine is SO MEAN to Rose! and yet I am like ;o; <3333? idgi. Perhaps it's his ears.

Um the soccer moms writing reams of propaganda thing is totally true. Shipwars to rival HP, people arguing AGAINST any ships because the Doctor is asexual(!?). Insanity. That said, this is cute and harmless and has nothing to do with anything.
