[DesertCruiser]

Hey

I'm DesertCruiser, got my name because I used to drive through the desert between LA and Phoenix all the time, it became kind of a relaxing thing for me. 

I live in Arizona, in the US

My favorite show is probably the Boogie Monster with Kyle Kinane and Dave Stone. The dudes are old comedians that sometimes talk about cryptids and other mysteries, but mostly they just mess around...funny as heck though

[konamicoder]

hello! konamicoder here! (I love games!)

I'm in LA! home of blue skies and the 405. heh.

You'll never look at them the same way again.

1. Hi, I’m Adam (username TreyAnastasio)
2. I currently live in San Francisco, United States
3. I haven’t listened to a lot of podcast episodes yet, but my current favorite podcast on Spotify is VOLUME FOREVER, hosted by Rob Blasko. Similarly to The Doomed and Stoned Show (which unfortunately isn’t on Spotify right now), VOLUME FOREVER focuses primarily on covering “underground” doom metal and stoner rock (two of my favorite genres of music). I still need to listen to most of the episodes, but my favorite one that I’ve checked out is the latest episode, where Blasko announces the winners of the Doomies 2021 awards (“the first underground heavy music awards show of its kind,” according to the Doomed & Stoned website) and plays representative tracks of theirs. I was glad to hear in this episode that some bands that I enjoy listening to (including Lowrider, Dopelord, and Slomosa), as well as one of my favorite record labels (Heavy Psych Sounds Records), won Doomies awards to recognize their musical achievements; and King Buffalo (another of my favorite bands) won a Doomies award for the best album artwork, on their Dead Star album:

Also, thank you for sharing this podcast about trees, @konamicoder; it sounds really interesting! One other podcast that I thought you might like is the In Defense of Plants podcast with Dr. Matt Candeias, which has some episodes about trees as well–like this one that I was enjoying listening to today, which explores the topic of oak seed dispersal through a conversation with ecologist Dr. Michael Steele (who recently wrote a book on the topic):

Cheers!

[Hubo]

Ahh! I love this! Do you have a favourite food podcast? 🍔🌭🌮🌯🥙

[Hubo]

Hey folks! 👋

I’m Hubo, been a Spotify user for about 6 years now and I’m a Community Star here for about 3 years. I’m from The Netherlands 🇳🇱 and have been really getting into podcasts just recently after a friend’s suggestion.

I love to listen when hiking, walking, biking or in public transit and mostly listen to fictional podcasts!

A Dutch podcast I really liked is “De Brand in het Landhuis” which was absolutely a thrilling (real) story: https://open.spotify.com/show/6rz0PtkHkAnjK0jwAkB7AK?si=Tju1yHwxS_qq6EdSr6OwBg&dl_branch=1 (so Dutch folks if you don’t know where to start with podcasts; this is the one that gets you hooked!!)

Then there’s the Daily TED podcast which never fails to surprise me:

https://open.spotify.com/show/1VXcH8QHkjRcTCEd88U3ti?si=z2DM0zjwQxqcZmU_IYmlgg&dl_branch=1

lovely podcast for learning new things every day!

Nice to meet everyone here and looking forward to hearing what podcasts got you hooked! ✨👋

Hello my name is Miguel. My username is @yetitears and I create melodic house and ambient music as Yeti Tears.

One of my favorite podcasts is Into the Impossible with Dr Brian Keating: this was a great episode and I bought James’ boom after listening to it.

[konamicoder]

Trey! thanks so much for the recommendation. I just listened to this episode. Who knew there was such a strategy around what seeds to eat and what to store! Whoa. The part about the Oaks managing their seed output to keep the squirrel populations in check was fascinating. Also given your own listening preferences (re: music and metal) you might be excited to know that Metallica just launched a podcast!

1. What's your name/username? @Decorum

2. What part of the world are you in? Maine, U.S.

3. What is your favorite podcast? Share an episode! This is tough, but I listen to Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth the most regularly. I recommend for those who want to maintain a balanced and sustainable healthy lifestyle. 2nd place was basically ANY QCode Podcast (Left Right Game, Borrasca, The Edge of Sleep, Blackout) if you really like fictional/storytelling podcasts.

https://open.spotify.com/episode/6DMoEbc9HmyZw3XA7IIsVi?si=BpLc7Z3tRwK9cTYxYeUrfQ&dl_branch=1

[Decorum]

These are great shows. I really think you would enjoy QCode shows a lot too if you wanted to give them a chance. 

Start off with Borrasca or Left Right Game. 

Hope you give them a chance!

[Decorum]

You would REALLY like The Last Podcast on the Left! My personal favorite episodes from them are the Jonestown episodes.

Just search "Episode 300 Jonestown Part I - Everyone in the World is My Friend" and it will get you started. There are 5 parts to this. 

If you don't know anything about the Jonestown massacre do a quick google search. They also cover stuff like Satanism for dummies, the murdaugh family murders and so much more

I love any podcast with a good, long conversation in it. I've been listening religiously to Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard lately: it's the first thing I listen to when they drop an episode on Monday/Thursday.

I loved that one of my fave shows interviewed one of my fave artists - it felt like two universes colliding:

Hello everyone! My name is Lawson and my username on spotify is lawsondun25. I am from Maine (USA) and I don't listen to a lot of podcasts honestly! I am big into discovering new music though and making playlists is my favorite thing to do on the planet 💖 Anyways, I started a live radio show a few months ago and have been uploading the episodes to Spotify. It's called Spicy Nuggets of Love and I do trivia giveaways, college missed connections and weekly special guests. I also play upbeat and fun music to start off the weekend right 😎 I will link my podcast in this message if you would like to check it out, thank you!

I'm extremely disappointed that you'd pick Rogan over Young. Rogan is nothing but a blowhard spreading misinformation about Covid. I've liked Spotify for years, but it's time to start looking at other streaming sources.
