The_Rev Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 http://alifewellwasted.com/ First new episode in almost three years and only the second in almost five. It's still absolutely wonderful though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packoman Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 We’re Alive season 4 is starting on Monday . I'm not sure whether to listen each week or leave them build up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Just starting season 4 myself. Anything similar you can recommend once I've finished it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frobisher Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Serendipitous timing - I finished the final episode a couple of hours ago. Any recommendations for something similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 No, but I will recommend the new This American Life spinoff podcast Serial. It's basically an in depth This American Life where they take a story and go into it in depth over several weeks. The first one is four episodes in as I type, it's about a murder in Baltimore (no, Omar didn't do it) which a lot of people thing was a miscarriage of justice. Interesting stuff: http://serialpodcast.org/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted October 23, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted October 23, 2014 Really been enjoying Stuart Goldsmith's The Comedian's Comedian podcast of late. I'm not particularly into comedians but the podcast isn't really about the funny, it's about analysing what comedy is to different people and how different comics construct their comedy. It's more of a podcast about the human psyche than anything else. Some are a bit light but some are very deep and almost like a therapy session. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I thought "We're alive" had finished years ago! I have absolutely no idea where I got to. Might have to listen to them all again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting stuff: http://serialpodcast.org/ I've listened to the first episode, and it's fascinating stuff. Really well written and produced. I can't quite shake the feeling that she is a little bit in love with Adnan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 It's definitely the case for the defence. Episode 4 came out today, it's the first one which felt a bit like filler. I think it might be a show which is better if you marathon it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Well, Episode 5 was the case for the prosecution but blimey Charlie, that's not a reason for bumping the thread: Newsnight doing a feature on a bloody podcast?! Has one of the great entertainment forms of the 21st century finally gone mainstream? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted November 1, 2014 Administrator Share Posted November 1, 2014 Newsnight doing a feature on a bloody podcast?!

The_Rev Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Nah. Being a hipster isn't about rejecting stuff that has gone mainstream these days. In 2014 a hipster would listen to a podcast on a reel to reel tape player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted December 14, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted December 14, 2014 Been avidly listening to Serial. Not too sure what to make of this weeks episode, felt like the most plainly filler episode of the series, and didn't really bring that much to the table. Next week is the final episode and I'm left wondering exactly what we're going to have got from the series. There doesn't appear to be much more to say and obviously there's no further revelation to be had. Is the show destined to be hollow navel gazing, interesting but ultimately futile?

The_Rev Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 Agreed. There are going to be a lot of disappointed people when the show doesn't get Adnan out of jail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted December 14, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted December 14, 2014 Indeed. Ultimately, what can the last episode say? He's not getting let off (and was never going to be) and they aren't going to end it with some revelation of who they reckon did it (even had they wanted to). At best the lawyers from 5 episodes or so back might have stumbled on a theory but even then, they can't reveal much. Do they go meta and end it with a bait and switch about the nature of the show and it's following and the voyeuristic quality it has? And can they really do this again? It's inevitable that people will want closure and they may not have realised they were never going to get it. Which will kill interest in this second time around.
