Anything to do with stupid ass Harry Potter

 

Hi all,

I wanted to share the most recent episode of my podcast series, because it was our second collaboration with the awesome folks over at MeansTV (with more planned for the future!). The documentary series we discussed is also really cool, because it's about this intersection between niche online community building, digital preservation and its challenges, and obscure gaming history. We try to cover a lot in a short amount of time, but I'm also trying to use my show as a way to platform leftist creators and media, so that's why I tend to share episodes on here a lot.

And if you don't mind, please do give us a kind rating and review on the podcast platform(s) of your choice. We are everywhere, but it's hard to get our show seen without reviews. Thanks! Also, our season 1 finale is next week, and it's gonna be a doozy. :)

Do they not realize that calling for him to be blasted into the sun is the easiest political victory of all time?

 

I try not to do this every time (although I guess that's the wrong way to self-promote, but whatever), but I wanted to share the most recent episode of my history/film and media studies podcast series and ask for feedback. It's on the film "Cabaret" and using it as a lens to study interwar Germany, fascism, queer culture, the arts, etc. I'm really proud with how this one came out, and I think it's one of the best of our non-interview episodes, but I would also really appreciate feedback because this is the kind of work we want to keep doing for people and insight (from both historians and non-historians) would be greatly appreciated. I hope you like it.

Thank you to everyone who has checked it out so far, this looks to be our most downloaded episode ever already? Please check out our other episodes as well, we work very hard on them (even if it doesn't sound like it lol)

 

Something a little bit new for our show, so feedback is appreciated. Please do also check out our other episodes- we cover a variety of topics, every episode is ad-free and available everywhere. All we ask is that if you like our show that you leave us a (nice) rating and review, as we need those to get more traction. Our mission is to bring scholarship (and leftist political theory) to the public. :)

 

So I have spent the last several months working on a podcast series that I have finally put out into the world, and the part I seem to be struggling with now is how to share it with people. The show is called "The History on Film Podcast", and it is about history, film and media studies, the history of technology, how historians like myself use media as historical artifacts, riffing on cheesy movies, and a lot more. We have about 12 episodes recorded, with several more in the works, but I just launched the show and episodes come out every Monday. I hope you give it a try!

Yeah, my problem with this take is that it really assumes that anime dubs started with Cowboy Bebop. There are a lot of dubs that are just brutal to watch because the localization was done dirt cheap. Bubblegum Crisis is on Peacock, and that dub is rough (and they don’t have a subbed option). And don’t get me started on Speed Racer…

So I definitely agree with MaRo that Magic isn’t one game, but actually several distinct games with shared pieces and rules, because Commander is not for me personally, and I have been playing Magic for most of its existence. I get why people like it, but it doesn’t scratch the same itch as playing in a constructed event for cash. My only real complaint with Commander is that it is a terrible way to on-board new players, and maybe losing with some janky brews at FNM isn’t the atrocity some players have made it out to be.

I know it's cringe, but I just want good things for him and his family.

Please let there be other oldheads on there, so we can talk about Invasion block constructed, how terrible Masques constructed was, how good and rewarding Caw-Blade was for disciplined players, etc

PLOT TWIST: these guys all end up marrying brassy, chainsmoking older waitresses named Barb or Midge who say stuff like, “more java, hun?”

People are too focused on the washable paint, not focused enough on climate change, and even less focused on the underground base beneath Stone Henge where Dr. Andonuts and Apple Kid are being held hostage.

So the “cool” part of this is obviously deeply ironic, but I think the bit hinges entirely on the fact that Hunter is such an extreme fuckup to the point of caricature. While I genuinely don’t know anything about him other than what was said on Chapo, I do think it’s funny that the son of a sitting president once ascribed to Liberation Theology (which is good). Also, Don Jr. would absolutely shit his pants if he was in the same room as Hunter, which would be funny.

Web 1.0 is roughly the early internet up to the start of Facebook. Web 2.0, which we are in now, is the consolidation of the internet into a series of “walled gardens”, where most people engage with the internet though one or more platforms (FB, Twitter, etc), the rub being that these platforms are moderated (and privatized). Web 3.0 is not a thing (yet?), but it’s the idea that decentralization through blockchain technology will create a new “phase” of the internet

 

Only a few minutes in, but this is pretty good

 

I can’t afford/make the time to see a therapist, but I watch The Price is Right every day. Then I always want to talk about it with people, but nobody wants to.
