But as far as history podcasts go, Darryl Cooper's "Martyrmade Podcast" multi-parter on the Israel/Palestine conflict (called "Fear and Loathing in New Jarusalem) is possibly the best History Podcast I've ever heard. I felt like I had my soul hollowed out after that one. His episode on the Mai Lai Massacre is haunting as well. Don't expect to feel good after these, but they are engrossing.
The latest episode of my favourite podcast Hacked is now out. This one is about the market for bots that auto-buy new sneakers for the reseller market. It's all about speed so that when the new shoes are released you can scoop up as many as possible and scalp them.
I've been listening to lots of Joe Rogan's podcasts recently, and they're pretty much all excellent. He just recently put out on with Evan Hafer and Mat Best which hits on so many topics that interest me I wanted to give it a shout out.
Mat Best also made the greatest book commercial I've ever seen.

FUCK!!!!! Rogan just deleted all his podcast videos off Youtube.
God dammit to fuck.
Or the YouTube AI lefty fairy did its fairy dust thing.
DNA has its own language (code), and language requires intelligence. There is no known mechanism by which matter can give birth to information, let alone language. It is unreasonable to believe the world could have happened by chance.
I guess the Rogan podcast videos are now sort of like the old Harry Browne radio shows: A few people out there probably have copies of them, but finding and accessing them won't be easy.
Anything online that's worth keeping now has to be manually archived by multiple individuals to prevent its eventual inevitable disappearance.
I remember listening to the Rogan podcast back when it first started over 10 years ago. The first several episodes basically consisted of Rogan and his producer Brian Redban goofing around as they figured out how the microphones and other equipment worked. Lots of dead air, and the sound quality was horrible. But it was a totally new thing -- one of the very first podcasts by a comedian -- so I loved listening to it.
Oh yea, he got so much better at it. I just finished his one with Glenn Greenwald today, and it was fantastic. He got into a bit about how he changed, where at the beginning he was just a dick to anyone he didn't agree with, constantly "fact checking" them and whatever, but then he just started talking with people and it worked better.
I like Lex Fridman but I personally find his podcasts to be soooooooo boring. What Fridman really did for me was demonstrate how difficult it is to be an entertaining podcast host, and it made me respect Joe Rogan that much more.
Well, I'll listen to a non-entertaining presentation style if it's something interesting. I mean, I thought 1066: The Year That Changed Everything from The Great Courses was awesome and it is not anywhere in Rogan's orbit. The motherfucker is a standup comic and bloodsport announcer.
0063. Biblical Archeology’s Top Discoveries of 2020 – Dr. Craig Evans, 1/6/21
Dr. Craig Evans of Houston Baptist University
This is an interesting discussion of archeology finds and verification of Bible descriptions of places and kings going back centuries before the time of Jesus.

The latest episode of "Real Talk with Zuby" is titled "Would Anarchism Work?" I haven't heard it yet, but Zuby is usually solid for some good conversation with an interesting guest.
Timcast with Dave Smith is one of the best podcasts I've heard in a while. Talked a lot about lockdowns, unemployment payments/UBI (and later, the relationship between AI and UBI, which I agree with), Antifa, our shitty justice system (Dave talking about "anarcho-tyranny" at various points is one of the better parts). At 1:51:46 Dave mentions Harry Brown

I don't have 2 hours to spend listening to that podcast (well, actually I do but I'd rather not). So would you mind summarizing what he means by "playing dead'?

Don't actively trade - just set and forget. He mentioned an example being the "All Weather Portfolio".
Also interesting insights into how investment banking works, but not much use to a peasant like me

Thanks. I guess I've been playing dead for a long time.
