I haven't listened to many podcasts beyond the green bros ones (Dear Hank and John, etc) but I think my favourite would be The Trojan Horse Affair I think it gets at some really important questions about journalism and just generally it's got some absolutely Amazing storytelling, especially with how it plays around with information and perspective! Also kinda scratches my 'detective mystery' itch with how you feel like you're trying to sort out the whole scandal along with the hosts
Floor time keeps me sane
Honestly, the chemistry you guys have would make any topic or format interesting. But I like content that is like "let's pick this one topic and just go down a rabbit hole and see where that takes us", the whole Freakonomics network has podcasts that I think does that in a fun way.
I vibe with floor time sabrina
thank you. floor time is the only thing that keeps me productive some weeks. - sabrina
Sabrina: If you haven't already purchased a replacement chair, consider getting a replacement pneumatic cylinder instead. They're only about 20 dollars on Amazon, and you can just swap out the broken one. Also, turns out you can indeed fix the pneumatic cylinder that's already on there. Boy do I have the chair repair video for you! It goes deep with pneumatic cylinder operation theory and failure modes, but also has sections so you can skip straight to the repairing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBB8DQQrvek&ab_channel=LifewithDavid In any case, best of luck finding New Butt Heaven!
i ended up buying a knockoff herman shmerman but this comment is tempting me to frankenstein a new, more powerful chair on the skeleton of my garbage old chair. - sabrina
PLEASE just post your random creative shit here
When I start chaos-posting on the patreon feed, it will be exclusively your fault Ashley - taha
wow that consulting q&a answer is a whole mood - I've been learning to make tiktoks for work but when i make them for my own account i don't apply what i've learned and they're absolute PANTS
I'm down for any podcast y'all make. I listen to a pretty wide variety, from Cortex to Throughline, Anthropocene Reviewed, The Deca Tapes, Magnus Archives, Planet Money, etc.
@Taha Idk if it's your vibe but the Deca Tapes is a very well produced audio drama IMO. Might inspire you if you're looking for something that's pushing the boundaries but maybe it won't.
I've got a gamer chair (Secret Lab, if anyone is interested). It's good; better because I got it on sale just after the whole COVID and work from home thing started. About 6 months after buying it I read something about mesh chairs being better in general. Expensive chairs be weird. And expensive. 🤷♂️
There’s this whole subculture around mechanical keyboards, maybe Taha and Taeha could start one around desk chairs. Modifying/customizing chairs until eventually it gets to people designing and making their own chairs.
I listen to so many podcasts: interview, comedy, actual play, fiction, science, pseudoscience, and mythology. For you, it feels like you could take the interviews for the show research into a podcast. You have already posted the extended interviews in video format. It's always interesting listening to the difference between a expert and an everyday person who is genuinely interested in the topic. But also, it's your podcast, so do whatever you want and I'll listen
