  • Here comes the guillotine is fucking funny

    Thank you for that very rare thing: a postcast recommendation that didn't make me listen to a steaming pile of shite. Mr. Boyle is always worth a listen.

    The few podcasts I listen to are mostly history or politics/current affairs, but even there so much of it is self-regarding wank. The range can be:

    • The Rest is History - consistently good and often excellent.
    • The Rest is Politics - usually interesting, at least, sometimes very insightful. Rory needs to man up, though, because Alastair has him under his thumb.
    • Behind the Bastards - maybe one in 20 is really interesting and the subject matches their style, the rest is hours of the main guy just telling you how much he hates somebody without anything interesting to say about them. The ones on RFK jr really worked, for example, but most don't. He even makes some of the L. Ron Hubbard ones just him ranting with nothing material to rant about; an achievement of a kind, I suppose, but I want those hours back.
    • You're Dead to Me - fuck the fuck off, you time-wasting numpties. You are not more interesting than the subject matter, I am not allergic to information, you do not have to sugar coat one minute of actual content in 29 minutes of ignorant banter in case I run away screaming.

    The hunt continues.
