Sorry for the massive write up guys and if this thing sinks immediately I totally get it but I've always wanted to start a podcast thread since I listen to them around the clock all week. I use the app CastBox for discovering, arranging, and accessing my pods. 10/10
Is anybody else into these? I'd like to mention two oddballs here in case it strikes any interest and to be able to drop the occasional recommendation for a good pod episode.
Blank Check podcast.
This is a film podcast hosted by two goofballs Griffin and David who have an encyclopedic knowledge of films and everything that went into making those films and what the atmosphere was in the time any given film was released. They almost always have a guest (99% unknown names that work in film industry and have a lot of insight into film making) and while it isn't often mentioned by them in episodes they record their episodes in series sorted by directors. So recently they finished episodes of David Fincher films (The Killer has some interesting tidbits in what caused that film to be made) and Ridley Scott not long ago. Somehow the Danny Boyle film episodes were my favorite so far in which '28 Days Later' and 'The Beach' were featured. The episode for 'Sunshine' is stellar. The name of this podcast comes from the notion that some directors after having proven themselves are given a blank check by a studio to make whatever passion project they want and this pod covers those films. Each episode is a different film.
One more that I find interesting, though I have no real interest in serial killers or true crime documentaries, is called Young Charlie. The entire podcast is about Charles Manson's life.
In this case It's two excellent narrators a man and a woman taking turns alternating between Manson's very troubled and sinister early youth and his time as a young man in San Francisco as he began really honing his ability to manipulate (something he'd nearly mastered in prisons since he was a child) and gather a following.
There are one or two moments I remember where nobody got hurt but were just chilling in how bizarrely the interactions played out between Manson and a cop searching a house and another one between Manson and a bystander on a street where crimes would later occur.
Does anybody have any podcasts that they listen to regularly?
