That forum had some amazing shitlords that could rival this place. I used to love that community before the podcast got really big.

I really hate the spotify app. It especially works badly in areas with bad cell coverage which is where I spend most of my time. That said I've listened to quite a few episodes that I enjoyed since the move. Still skip all the actors and comedians.
Is it just me or are Sam Harris' podcasts available for free on YouTube now even though you have to pay to listen to them in a podcast app?

yeah, i don't particularly like spotify so i haven't been keeping up with this pod. i was only casually watching his pods when there was an interesting guest or if i was bored enough to watch him and his palls make fun of each other. He's a meathead that has enough curiosity and clout to get some A tier guests and sometimes he'd have decent conversations when he didn't steer it into the same dumb shit he always talked about.

I think he's trying to be whatever type of person that he feels he would respect/admire if they were in his shoes. Bummer, sort of. Maybe we're just developing a gag reflex to that behavior in general now. Between the religious right and the modern left, people extolling their own virtues by way of confessing their inherent sins just makes my stomach heave and my lips sweat. I'm projecting too much on the guy with that, but I'm more thinking out loud about why that trait isn't appealing right now when I think at any other time I'd say it would be. And I'm still talking specifically about the decision to let Spotify decide some episodes can't be on their platform and what the implications of that are on future episodes. I think this took me 40 minutes to write and it was at least 10x this long at one point. I still haven't hit reply.

I was always amazed when anyone debating Sam could make him A) smile B) laugh
I exaggerate a bit but still... holy shit what a wooden creature he is. I like his brain but I cringe at his humanity.

This is pretty much it for me as well. He just doesn't come off as authentic anymore and oozes "corporate" now. After spouting off for the last decade+ about how "gross" that was and friends of his that were doing it made him sick. It's especially cringeworthy when he has to launch into the whole, "Spotify has no input! None! Zero! They've been totally hands off!!!" schpeel every 3rd episode. I used to listen to almost every episode, except the female comedians, and I catch maybe two-three episodes a month now.
The best thing that could happen to Joe is him getting "cancelled" for saying something "wrong" or having on a controversial guest (which I doubt we'll ever see again - think he'll ever have the tranny chicks on again? Hah! Good luck!).

Nailed it with Rhonda Patrick, Graham Hancock, Sam Harris etc. I loved podcasts where he'd have someone like Tony Hawk or James Hetfield just talking about life and telling stories. Or have some scientists like Hancock who really opened up my eyes on a lot of things about prehistoric history that I haven't really considered.
I was super pumped when I saw the Mark Calaway podcast on the schedule a few weeks back and Joe just blows it by talking about injuries for 75% of it. Dude, I don't caaaaaaaare about his shoulder injury. Ask him about what life was like in WWE for 30 years.

i haven't listened to a single spotify cast since, even tho i use spotify for other podcasts, his guest list just looks like shit since dec1, and it's annoying to use a "secondary" podcast app when beyondpod(actually i switched to podcast addict) is my main podcast.
as a 10year listener and using jre as a routine, it sucks but whatever

Spotify did replace my other podcast apps as well. The only podcast I listen to that isn't on spotify is MartyrMade

He puts half of the podcast out for free and releases the full thing on his paid feed.

How? I have a lot of trouble with it as a player. It isn't intuitive to find new podcasts or similar podcasts to those I have seen. And there's no notification when new podcasts are released. I was hoping it would work out, would be nice to have one app that does both podcasts and music (would like audiobooks as well but w/e) but it just doesn't work for me, I still end up using Podcast Addict and Youtube for everything.

I knew that, but I thought I had been seeing full episodes in video form on YouTube lately. I only listened to one but I thought it was all there.

I don't use apps like that. I turn off notifications for everything and I don't use the apps to find new podcasts. Nearly all the podcasts I listen to I found as guests on another podcast. If I had enough time to listen everything I already have, I might feel differently, but I don't really have time to listen to the podcasts I try to keep up with. In the last year I've had to dump several due to lack of interest and time. JRE and Sam harris were amount those dropped.

There is definitely a way to be notified when new episodes are dropped.
Edit - unless you mean podcasts in general, then ignore me.

Yeah I just mean podcast in general. Especially on the web player, you can follow a podcast but that doesn't give any kind of notification.
A lot of it is just taste I guess. I expect to see something similar to youtube where if I subscribe to something I get updates centralized on teh main page related to that thing, and recommendations related to that thing. In practice only things I actively have listened to are on the main page and I have to dig to find anything I might actually want to hear outside of that. It's incredibly user unfriendly.

Where do you get that? His series on Jim Jones was the best historical series I've ever heard. Even better than any Hardcore History.
