When a Podcast Becomes a Prophecy

Wil Anderson and Charlie Clausen started an AFL podcast with a backdrop of them lamenting their own team’s lack of success. But For Wil – and his beloved Bulldogs – it proved to be a masterstroke.

As we reviewed earlier in the year, the rather small but popular niche of ‘Comedic AFL Podcasts’ got a new player for season 2016, when Bulldogs fan Wil Anderson and Saints fan Charlie Clausen started their latest podcast venture “Two Guys, 1 Cup.” The premise was simple; the two teams they supported had only ever won one premiership each in 100 years, and it sucked to be a supporter of those two clubs. The clever play-on-words in the title not only gained this site some rather hilarious (and I’d suggest disappointed) search traffic, it is now somewhat of a contentious issue, because the Bulldogs have doubled their premiership tally, so the title doesn’t work the same way it used to.

The Little Dum Dum Club #310

So, word filtered my way late last week that the boys from my favourite American history podcast The Dollop had been guests on another of my favourite podcasts The Little Dum Dum Club.

Joe Rogan’s Double Double Header

After a period of much-deserved holiday, The Joe Rogan Experience bounced back with 4 massive episodes over two days.

Have you ever wondered how much Bulletproof coffee, kale smoothies, Alpha Brain, whiskey and weed you would need to produce 4 three-hour podcasts over two days? Well if you have, maybe you should ask Joe Rogan.

PROFILE: Bald Move Podcast

Bald Move is nerdy film and television fanboy bliss, that takes dissection to a whole new level. Essentially, it’s right up Holding Steadfast’s alley.

REVIEW: Sam Harris Podcast – Episode 43

Sam Harris reads extracts from the ISIS propaganda publication Dabiq, giving a rather concerning inside look at how a Jihadist thinks, what they want, and why they hate us.

REVIEW: Hardcore History – King of Kings III

Dan Carlin wraps up his Persian epic with a five hour marathon episode.

I’ve made the comparison before between a new Hardcore History episode, and your favourite band releasing a new album. Funnily enough, Carlin makes this same reference at the beginning of this episode, noting that this five hour conclusion to the King of Kings series, was akin to a band releasing a ‘double album.’

It sounds like the beginning of a terrible joke:

REVIEW: JRE #812 – Russell Brand and Jim Breuer

Words, words and more words, as two of the most prolific talkers in the world philosophise up a storm.

If there is one thing that both Joe Rogan and Russell Brand are capable of, it’s a lengthy expansion on a point, and this intense three hour conversation is filled with exactly that, multiple times. These two similar counterculture leaders from opposite sides of the Atlantic, who have gathered an army of fans (and critics) surrounding their sometimes controversial views, turned out to be a most intriguing pairing.

REVIEW: Song Exploder

It’s been a while since I’ve put up a podcast review – many apologies, but my real job has kept me busy of late, and my listening time has plummeted, so to speak. However, I’ve been able to start listening to a few shorter podcasts – and the one that I’ve been getting into lately is a music podcast called Song Exploder.
