They dont have to be lesbian, just girls in general! Please let me know of any you guys know (that are smaller and may have a small community— or no community, that i can play with also works!)

I'm gonna be honest. I'm way more impressed with players who main more obscure Legends and perform well in comparison to the ones who main: Wraith Pathfinder Octane etc. It's just more respectable in my opinion

Pls share your pods. I have to clean up my list.

I feel like I've spent my whole life struggling to find any queer representation in media but since listening to podcasts I'm finding it harder to find straight characters. is there just something inherently queer about podcasts?

I occasionally listen to The Grade Cricketer, Jarrod Kimber, Club Prairie Fire, Baby Over and Kutti Stories. Looking to discover more.

first of all,I get that videogame streamers have to and should make commentary while playing, that's not what bugs me. what bugs me is when they talk incessantly about random off topic shit like their dirty microwave or whatever while playing, then randomly start feigning interest in the game when some random inconsequential thing happens and start jumping around and screaming their heads off because this heavily forecasted plot point is revealed or they do something that's not difficult at all but looks cool. it pisses off my sensory issues and is cringe AF..like it's obvious it's fake, why can't you just play normally and get excited when something actually exciting happens?

Wondering if anyone is aware of any podcasts that cover the timeline and details of all of this. I’d love to be able to share with my podcast listening people who don’t follow any of this on social media. TIA

If you use TikTok and haven't encountered those kinds of live streams, you aren't missing anything. The whole purpose of them is hate disguised as an "opinion."

You will see the "opinions" being the most absurd things about, of course, big, trendy, and popular artists.

"TWICE needs to retire," "BLACKPINK are just models," “BTS music is mid," "New Jeans ended 4th gen," and the list goes on.

There are so many interesting topics in Kpop that fans can discuss without being straight up miserable and creating a platform for hate. Sadly all they want is views.

Does anyone have a good Mavericks podcast?

I was just listening to Locked On Mavs and the dude is saying that the Mavs can use Kleber to play Rudy off the floor, so he obviously doesn't know ball.

I can hold a conversation in French ok but it's awkward.
To maintain the French I have, I listen to "le rendezvous- tech", but in order to improve conversationally I needed to do something more active. I find pausing the podcast after each phrase helpful, repeating it to myself, playing around with different phrasings, answering it and so on. Only it was so inconvenient while on walks or in bed, to always have to look at the screen.

This is where the external bluetooth button for 10 bucks comes in. You can pair it with your phone in addition to your headphones, hold it in your hand, and you'll have basic functionality like pause, rewind, ffwrd, and volume at your finger tips. I can now control the player without looking at the phone.

One could now go one step further by using a second smartphone with chatGPT voice chat running with instructions to point out errors and so forth.

From using it for a few months like this I get a feeling that if I put my mind to it, I could rapidly progress my Spanish, which is as yet passive only, to being fairly fluent in the matter of a few months (though that'd require REALLY putting my mind to it ;-)
Recommendation: very useful and free, the Daily easy spanish-podcast (I think it's AI driven, it reads BBC Spanish service news articles off the internet, repeats in English what was said in the paragraph, and then repeats the Spanish version at .8 speed). Sometimes I understand the Spanish at 1.0x, sometimes I require the English translation first to then catch the words at 0.8x.

J’aime beaucoup écouter des podcasts mais on dirait que je ne sais plus quoi écouter…j’ai fait pas mal le tour du contenu de RC OHdio.

J’écoute beaucoup de podcasts de true crime mais je suis ouverte à autre chose. Dans le true crime, j’aime les trucs plus sérieux, où on voit que la recherche a bien été faite et où on fait pas des jokes ou des effets sonores aux 3 secondes. Ça peut être plus léger, j’aimais bien Sexe oral au début quand ils avaient des sujets intéressants pis pas juste « la vie sexuelle de X ».

Vos suggestions? 😊

32 Thoughts:

• Process moved very quickly with Berube

• Seems like Berube interviewed last Saturday/Sunday, McLellan interviewed Monday/Tuesday, Gallant interviewed on Wednesday. All flew out to Toronto.

• Friedge wonders who else may have been considered and singled out Dale Hunter as someone he thinks they may have had conversations about but doesn't think he would have wanted to come or an official conversation was ever held.

CJ Show:

• There is real smoke about Marc Savard coming as an assistant coach (he ran St Louis's pp in 19-20 as Berube's assistant) although CJ doesn't know how that would work as he has 2 more years on his contract as an assistant (running the powerplay) in Calgary.

• Thinks there is also very real smoke to the DJ Smith returning to Toronto. He mentioned that it's likely both sides that are interested in a reunion as assistant coach. DJ Smith has the option to stay in LA and it's been noted by David Pagnotta that if Jim Hiller is converted from interim to full time coach he's likely to stay and if not then Toronto would be the likely destination.

• CJ also made very very sure to note that it's still early in the assistant coach search and nothing is expected to be finalized soon as teams are still playing and there are 5 open head coaching positions.

• Expects Mike Van Ryn (ran our defence) to stay as he was with the Blues for years including the cup winning team, not sure what happens with Guy Boucher (powerplay) as this was only his first year and our powerplay fell apart when it mattered, expects Manny Malhotra (auxiliary/forwards/faceoffs) and Dean Chynoweth (PK) to move on.

CJ also did a staying or going with every player on the Leafs roster with a scale of 1-8 on how confident he is in his assessment.

Staying: Matthews (8), Nylander (8), Rielly (8), Knies (8), Reaves (8), Woll (8), Benoit (8), McMann (8), McCabe (8), Domi (7), Tavares (7), Holmberg (7), Jarnkrok (6), Kampf (6), Dewar (5), Robertson (5), Lyubushkin (4)

Leaving: Giordano (8), Brodie (8), Samsonov (8), Murray (7), Klingberg (6), Liljegren (5), Bertuzzi (5), Edmundson (5), Jones (5), Marner (4), Gregor (4), Timmins (4)

• Notes that Tavares said Max Domi felt like a part of the Leafs fabric

• Said that John Klingberg was seen skating with the Leafs medical staff for rehab on the Leafs locker room cleanout day

• Noted that when Lyubushkin came back he said it felt like coming home and speculated if he would want to stay here longer term as he's moved around a lot

Recently, Yogesh plugged his podcast Recreational Thinking on an episode of Jeopardy! Masters, and Victoria is billed as a podcast host. What other prominent Jeopardy! contestants also have a podcast?

Hi, what are the best French podcasts for intermediate/advanced learners according to you? I'd like to listen to authentic French conversations but not too fast/difficult!

Ive heard both....but my question is why do they appear and disappear from this dabblersanon??

For those who dont know, I will repeat the lines.

The Artie podcast the topic of Johns transformer comes up and if I remember correctly the John line is

John- Yea, I have a transgender child. haha If I knew she was going to become a boy, I would of stopped having kids at just 1.

and the other podcast clip that just keeps going missing is where John admits to Royce he was never a MENSA member.

Shouldnt these clips be on the dabblersanon front page for all of eternity?? Or am I missing something.... is there some sort of copyright issue...or....I mean, whats the deal?? Shouldnt John be forced to live with the shame like the internet intended?? Why all the secrecy?

It's here! The results for the 2024 Top Podcasts Poll have been tabulated and we have the results! Before we share those results with you, a quick preamble about participation and how we categorized the podcasts. The .

Participation

In total, 77 people participated in this poll and cast a total of 360 votes for 183 podcasts. That's a big uptick from the but not as much participation as we'd hoped. The vote spread was remarkably similar to last time but as we suspected, the popular podcasts have changed wildly. For instance, Writing Excuses was the most popular podcast last time with 16 votes and this time it only received one vote.

Only 2 podcast votes were disqualified: 1 for not seeming to be a podcast (not found on any podcast app and it did not describe itself as a podcast on its YouTube channel) and the other was only available on a website that my antivirus software wouldn't let me go to so I couldn't confirm anything about it.

Breakdown

There were 7 main categories of podcast:

• Discussion - for general podcasts where hosts talk about shared interests. This could include news, book discussion, readalongs/watchalongs, lore analysis, and so on. This is the category most people tend to think of when you say "podcast." Readalongs/watchalongs are specifically called out in the list due to their participatory nature.

• Fiction - for podcasts where stories either new or previously published are read aloud often by their author or a a singular narrator for all stories usually without sound effects.

• Audio Drama - podcasts where stories are performed by actors as plays with sound effects. Not everything in this category is is specifically a drama. Some are comedies but audio drama appears to be the catch all term for any story performed for audio.

• TTRPG - a catch all for anything D&D related including actual plays and similar games like Pathfinder.

• Writing - podcasts on writing advice, story creation, and the like.

• Folklore/Mythology - somewhere between Fiction and Discussion, these podcasts bounced between reading, discussion, and history of real world myths and folklore often by people who are experts in their field. This felt different enough from Discussion and Fiction to single out since it did not fit neatly in either.

• Improv - there were a number of podcasts where comedians improvised stories in a fantasy or sci fi world. It wasn't quite fiction and it wasn't quite audio drama so it got its own category.

Fiction and Audio Drama are definitely the blurriest categories. In general, I counted something as audio drama if it had multiple actors and sound effects. This meant that stuff like Night Vale, which is arguably an audio drama, was counted as a fiction podcast since it doesn't have these elements. This decision was partially informed by Night Vale calling itself a fiction podcast instead of an audio drama which helped me figure out where to draw the line using Night Vale as a boundary marker. However this also means that delineations between Audio Dramas and Fiction may not be consistent as I did defer to podcast descriptions if they described themselves as Fiction or Audio Drama.

Our most popular podcast categories in order of most to least popular were:

1. Audio Drama - 62 podcasts | Discussion - 62 (17 of the discussion podcasts were watchalongs or readalongs)

2. Fiction - 24

3. TTRPG - 21

4. Folklore/Mythology - 4 | Writing - 4

5. Improv - 3

Closing Thoughts

So that's the poll. What are your thoughts on the rankings? Are you surprised any specific podcasts didn't make the list?

I would like to get better listening comprehension by listening to dutch podcasts, does anyone know any ?

Preferably some that aren't too complicated like complex politics ore something, I am not that far into my dutch course😅

I'd like it if it's presented by nice likable people, maybe some casual chatting, maybe something different maybe even truecrime.

Man yall some goofy voiced, no drip havin, fanboys with some microphones. CRUMB BUMS. Beggin for a little tiny piece of bread off other ppl’s content. I’m glad it’s all ending just so I don’t have to see yall nerds on screen again.

people trying to be funny - even if they pull it off - are annoying when going to sleep.

i like criminal or 99 percent invisible. what else might i enjoy?

First of all i really enjoyed seeing so many servers beeing insta full so the hype amongst normies was really big. Hopefully a lot of them stay and start to enjoy this beautiful game.

I checked the twitch directory a couple of times since yesterday to see if any like really big streamers might give it a shot. But basically non of the big names tried it. Ohh and dont get me wrong everybody is welcome and i was happy to see people like rizzo, dhalucard and others to try it. I was just hoping when the big streamers try it there would be even more hype wich would be good for the game imo.

So what do you think why this is or do you think there will be more that try it over the next days ? I defenetly expected the streamer server to be more populated

Anyways i think this was a huge success bringing a lot of new people to the game
