The Gareth Edwards one is good.

Night Vale Presents’ second nonfiction project can perhaps be described as a take on the music documentary, though that description might not be enough. I Only Listen to the Mountain Goats is set to be a deep dive into the sonic world of the beloved American indie folk band. Hosted by lead singer John Darnielle and Night Vale co-creator Joseph Fink, the first season will explore the band’s sixth album*, All Hail West Texas, with each episode training its focus on a different song on the record, with Darnielle and Fink in conversation about songwriting, storytelling, and current events. (Each episode will also feature a cover version of the song in question, performed by artists like Sylvan Esso, Andrew Bird, and Amanda Palmer.) I Only Listen to the Mountain Goats appears to be less of a music documentary and more a companion guide, and it seems ripe to challenge the way we think about what’s possible with the music-podcast genre.
Thanks for the heads up on this. I'm digging it.LoathedVermin72 wrote:Just discovered The Director's Cut - A DGA Podcast. It's wonderful.
Oh, I'm listening along and trying to watch along. Just one episode left in Season 3, then I'm on the backstretch!Monkey_Driven wrote:Binge Mode
Great way to catch up on Game of Thrones with recaps and insightful commentary/discussion.
I would love a season about the Wire, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, LOST, or some other show that ended years ago.Simple Torture wrote:Oh, I'm listening along and trying to watch along. Just one episode left in Season 3, then I'm on the backstretch!Monkey_Driven wrote:Binge Mode

Can't help but thinking it would've made more sense to do this before the final season, but they probably got the idea and then wanted to do it before someone else came up with it. I'll be excited if someone at The Ringer does this for a series I haven't watched before, like Breaking Bad.

Details? I only got through like the first 15 episodes and was like "Meh."theplatypus wrote:Sword and Scale episodes 93 and 94 (and the host's follow-up apology/clarification on Soundcloud) were the most worthless fucking podcast episodes I've ever listened to. What a waste of time. Mike Boudet is a goddamn dilweed. My podcast feed is down to just MBMBaM, Chapo Trap House and Radiolab.
I'll delete it then.LoathedVermin72 wrote:Speaking of bad podcasts, the Sofia Coppola WTF is one of the worst things I've ever heard. Maron turns into a drooling moron when he starts talking about film.

I don't think it was her fault. She seems shy and soft-spoken. Maron did nothing to bring anything interesting out of her.VinylGuy wrote:yeah, and she is booooring as hell.LoathedVermin72 wrote:Speaking of bad podcasts, the Sofia Coppola WTF is one of the worst things I've ever heard.
