Antennapod?
Fine. I finally installed f-droid, because while I don't listen to a lot of podcasts, I am trying to listen to more, and YT Music is ass for finding new podcasts.
Please give me recommendations for more podcasts that may like based on what I got
Thank you, subscribed to most, they seem right up my alley.
I was apprehensive about the first two because they sound (from their titles) like the type of conservative conspiracy theory my FIL talks about. He was talking to my BIL (FIL's stepdaughters husband) about the collapse, and where to go yesterday. He decided Mexico since "they're only doing all that shit in the industrialized countries" , and I couldn't help but silently laugh that a.) he thinks Mexico isn't an industrialized country, and b.) he would illegally immigrate there to avoid politicized chaos.
No problem! I get that about the first two, but they're really interesting. Of course It Could Happen Here is fiction, but his stories / predictions ended up having quite a few eerie synchronicities to what happened in the years following its release in 2019. Breaking down collapse is much more analytical and heady than conspiratorial. They talk about stuff like why monocultures crops are bad, the decline in insect population, or like how complicated and poorly understood the financial system is and how that sets us up for instability. Their followup podcast is called Building Up: Resilience. I haven't started it yet, though
Parents man... The other day my dad told me he wanted to watch some new movie because, and this is literally what he said, "it looks violent." I didn't know how to respond. Like, I consume media that has violence in it, but as an adult I'd never watch or play something solely for the fact that some dude beats the shit out of people in it? It's sad.
