People like Louis CK and Norm Macdonald and Joe Rogan and Nick Mullen and so on and so on...

I tried listening to one on Saturday. Opened with 7 full minutes of ads. Then he was waffling on, getting donkies and muels mixed up, with a comedian I've never heard of. Not so bad the last bit there are loads of course but not many lols in the bit I heard. And it was 2 hours long.

I might check out some of the more noteable ones.

If you're interested in psychedelic science, try the Michael Pollan one. That came recommended to me by a friend, after I read MP's book on the subject. MP is such a good speaker.

If you're into astronomy at all the Brian Cox one is brilliant.
 
I thought he wasn't allowed to do pods for a while because staff had tested + for covid?

You could say it's Spotify hosting Joe Rogan hosting Alex Jones, so if people object, they should boycott Spotify...

Spotify paid the cunt an absolute pissload of money to do his thing on their network, in the full knowledge of what his thing is.

That is true, though they did delete a few previous episodes (including Alex Jones ones). Did they stipulate who he could have on in future?
 
i don't use Spotify

Fair enough - lots of people do (including - hypocritically - me) and I think hosting Joe Rogan hosting Alex Jones is probably one of the least bad things they do. Of more concern is how musicians are meant to scrape a living these days.

Curiosity got the better of me and I went and listened to the Alex Jones one and it’s absolutely barking. Jones is practically bouncing off the walls, then he sets this other guy off and Rogan is trying to get everyone to calm the fuck down so he can press Jones on a particular point but Jones is lobbing red herrings about like a fishmonger on PCP...

He comes over as an affable conspiracy nut with some kind of brain disorder, though we all know the much nastier Alex Jones of the Sandy Hook business etc.

Jones doesn’t come over credible, which I think for some was the worry (“platforms”
and all that). Not sure how I feel about whether people should interview him, but I think it’s more concerning that the context of the really horrible stuff isn’t there.

This is somewhere between irresponsible journalism and freakshow.

I think he's been on with JR three times now. Not sure which one you watched. I watched about (from memory) 30 mins of the second one and the Sandy Hook stuff was discussed and he gave some explanation/excuse... I don't know, it's not a story I've followed closely. But my curiosity over who Alex Jones is was satisfied and it was obvious the rest was going to be him just getting more drunk, more stoned, more obnoxious. Fine if you have time for such lunacy and aren't going to be corrupted by it; I had better things to do.

Sadly, to some people AJ is credible, but I'm sure they've a big problem long before coming to the particular podcast.
 
Not sure why you have to wish someone dead at the same time, but RIP Norm. :(
i did not do that, just pointed out the injustice. but since you brought it up, it's made me think further on it, and though I do not wish him dead, the world would certainly be a healthier place without him in it spouting dangerous mininformation to others and making the world a harder to place to live in.

Must say I hadn’t noticed him since he went on his pay channel thing.
