@Matt took your rec on this one! I’ve listened to the first few episodes. Really interesting and rather disturbing how the arbitrary and self fulfilling actions of a single individual can cause a cultural cataclysm like we’re experiencing in our country.

[Matt]

For real. It doesn’t take much.

[Mizmazzle]

@Matt damn! Just listened to the “Excited Delirium” episode. Freaking nuts.

[Matt]

Yeah. I got turned into John Ronson through his episodes of This American Life. His voice is very appealing to me. It just so happens his topics are also fantastic. I voraciously consume whatever he puts out.

@Matt when you were a state trooper was that concept taught to the officers?

[Matt]

Never heard of it before the podcast. We were definitely encouraged to be overly paranoid about the possibility that everyone was trying to kill us but not that one specifically

[Mizmazzle]

Interesting. Ronson does such a great job following these stories all the way back to the source.

[Matt]

I’d also recommend going to the This American Life website and searching his name. He has quite a few episodes there that are just as good.

S-Town (part of Serial) is a weird, dramatic and overall fantastic podcast!

Loved that one.

Looking to get into a new podcast weekly groove. What’s on your daily or weekly rotation these days?

@chrisjohnnick I like Staavy's World and Bad Friends but both are terribly stupid and I turn them off half of the time. The other half of the time I find them funny and entertaining on my long ride to and from work each day.
