Is Serial still putting out new seasons?

The first one was good, but I really didn't get into the second.

I think they're on Season 4. I'm actually not sure if I've listened to Season 3 yet. The producers have done some other podcasts as well. "S-Town" is a good one.
 
Has anyone else listened to Spiraled? It was super interesting. It came about from a series of articles that Kalyn Kahler wrote at SI a few years ago about what happened with Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila from the Packers and the pastor he started following. It's definitely worth a listen.



Edit: Wow that podcast embed thing is cool :D

Crooked is a bit too liberal for my taste, but I’m glad they had Hasan Piker on again. Recommend listen for those following the red-pilled young men thread as well.

Don’t want to sidetrack this thread but can you help me understand how you’re using the word “liberal” there? I really enjoyed the interview with Hasan, even if I found myself thinking a lot of his foreign policy views are bat shit crazy. I see Hasan as a good bit further to the left than Crooked, so I’m trying to understand how you would characterize him relative to liberals like Favreau.

Yeah, Hasan is a lot further left than Favreau et al, as am I. I’m just using liberal in the traditional sense of the word rather than the American sense.

That is, the political spectrum goes something like Leftist -> Liberal -> Conservative -> Rightist/whatever.

That being said, Favreau seems to be a bit further left than some of the others involved with Crooked.

Got it. Thanks!
 


The new season of Blowback started recently. It’s a podcast focused on critiques of American foreign policy in a narrative format. Covers one conflict per season, including things like Korea, Cuba, and Iraq.

New season covers Cambodia.
 


New podcast “Organized Money” out featuring Matt Stoller of the American Economic Liberties Project and David Dayen of The American Prospect.

Focuses on corporate consolidation and monopolization in the modern American economy through a business lens.

Today's Ezra Klein Show podcast is good and just a little over 30 minutes.

Another good election post-mortem. This one on Making Sense podcast. Sam is a tad more frustrated than Klein.

Only 39 minutes.

One of the best thoughts regarding Harris campaign:

"You lost more people of color than you have in any election, while running against Archie Bunker......who do you think your identity politics is for?"

I tried to listen, but you need to subscribe to get the full podcast.

The one I was listening to was a little to deep to listen to while driving.
 
I found a series of podcasts about Hitler.

Pretty interesting. Also interesting how many parallels there are to Trump.
