Yeah, Downcast is what I've got right now. I used to love it but the amount of trouble it's giving me lately is making me crazy.

Granted part of it could be that I'm using an iPod touch and that hardware hasn't been updated in how many years?

Next time Stitcher has a run of ads on podcasts I'll use that code.

Ugh.

I think I’ve listened to in total about 15 hours of my pods doing the patreon begging thing.
I get it. And in some cases I’m happy to support some of them.
But the cap in hand patreon thing seems to be everywhere now.

How else are they going to continue to not work?

The podcasts I listen to with a Patreon also have real jobs so they don't beg, and it's kind of nice.

Also, Reply All - Long Distance 1+2 are insane. The past 4 weeks catch-up best-ofs have been a blast.

Nuts, right?

Serial was just a primer. It barely scratched the surface.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Maron has been on a real cold streak with his guests lately.
Paul was fine, but Maron embarrassed himself. It was a live episode FWIW.

ugh, was he in fanboy mode?
Kind of? Even though he says he’s not a big McCartney fan. He just kind of rambles and stumbles and asks nonsense.

Ha, I hear you. But while I have a lot of problems with Maron, I think he is (usually) a great interviewer.

Certainly not one of Maron’s best episodes, but I though Macca was great. Couple of the stories he shared were gold.
