Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

  1. Reply all (I miss it dearly)
  2. Casefile (esoecially the episodes on Silk Road and the zodiac killer are amazing)
  3. Dan carlins hardcore history (particularly the ones about World War One or imperial Japan in world war 2)

Reply All was my favourite podcast and I miss it so much.

PJ Vogt started Search Engine and Alex Goldman recently started Hyperfixed which are both pretty good but neither come close to having the humour and chemistry of Reply All, not quite the interesting content.

Search Engine, for now, is s the better of the two, having done its feet since it started much earlier then Hyperfixed.

The world war 2 japan one was so good, I can't get the same itch scratched from most others tho.. But it was really, really good.

Check out Hyperfixed by one of the former Reply All-hosts, and maybe also Hard Fork, which scratches a similar itch for me at least.

PJ Vogt's new podcast is called Search Engine and is a good substitute for Reply All.

I loved casefile and used to listen to it all the time. Episode 54 haunts me to this day. I still cannot listen to Elton John's "Daniel" because of that case. I was out walking in public and when it got to Daniel's funeral, that little detail, that they played that song, absolutely wrecked me. I was ugly crying in public.

Also liked Dan Carlin! He's so calming to listen to. Should probably start listening to his podcast again sometime.
