"Casting into the Past: Podcasting as a medium for producing works of history"
It's about 50 pages.
Fall of Civilizations is a podcast about why societies fail. Every episode, I look at a civilization of the past that collapsed into the ashes of history. I want to ask: what did they have in common? What led to their fall? And what did it feel like to be a person alive at the time, who witnessed the end of their world?
I am a historical novelist and I've just finished a PhD that combines elements of history, literature and cultural studies. The Fall of Civilizations podcast has been running for just over 6 months, and has been downloaded over 150,000 times. So far we've covered the collapse of Roman Britain, the mystery of the Bronze Age Collapse, the Mayans, the fall of Greenland's Viking settlements, the Khmer of Cambodia, Easter Island and West Africa's Songhai Empire, with many more to come.
Here's a picture of me for proof, and more proof here.

Toon in for What, is a podcast that recently came out. It covers "retro" cartoons, basically anything prior to the 2000s. The first episode does a deep dive into Disney's Gargoyles, while the second covers Dexter's Laboratory, so it is all over the map as far as content goes. Worth a listen for a nice fun history lesson.

I really love Revisionist History, The Read, Nancy, Nevertheless She Existed, Still Processing, Bloody Beaver, Ethnically Ambigious, Third Wheel with Aaron/Hamish, Herstory on the Rocks, The Memory Palace, etc but I’m looking for new podcasts. Please help loves❤️
I’m so sick of hearing about the “business” or what scene is this or that. It’s all the same. Everybody hustles, whatever. Its all been said and there is nothing left to say. LA vs NY, living in a car, getting a gig, talking ad nauseam about venues and city’s. Who actually gives a fuck anymore? The only reason you have a podcast is because you’re a comedian and comedians are supposed to be entertaining. What isn’t entertainment? Talking about the behind the scenes in comedy. Such an easy way to ruin a good flow of conversation in a podcast to the listener.
Post deals for the end of November and Black Friday or Cyber Monday (a slight extension) that would be of interest to podcasters and those who would like to start podcasting. If affiliate codes are included, please disclose this and also specify the end date of the deals if known.

With The Book of Melee coming out last week in paperback form and me doing book signings this Friday (and having extra copies) at Shine 2019, I figured why not do an AMA?
Ask me anything about Melee history, Melee Stats, journalism, the scene, etc. :)

I checked some lexicons and glossaries to no avail. But I once heard of a term of the music that plays under the narrator's voice ... in this case it was a simple world music melody. I forget which podcast I was listening to, one of the big ones (radiotopia or prx), and they had a term for it.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Furthermore, it would be great to see more words added to podcasting lexicons that go beyond technical stuff. Like the colour of paper used to denote what stage of production, types of music and sounds used in prodiction, etc …
It's called a "Femme Fed-up: US Histories focused on Feminist Issues" and the first three episodes are linked below. They're NSFW (or SFW depending on the episode) and focus on abortion, the Pill and housework.
They're a bit dry, I must admit. But if you just want the US history of any of these topic condensed into roughly half an hour, then I'm your woman.
See almost any conversation on Japan, martial arts, or many ancient history conversations.
also... THE SON OF SAM MADE THE HALLUCINATIONS UP!
There’s other examples, but what are you an amateur or professional expert or enthusiast on that you know the guys get wrong or have interdimensional brain takes on.
At first I thought recording and publishing podcasts would be similar to recording and publishing music. In music there are two main Performing Rights Organizations (ASCAP and BMI), and you have to register with them to let them know you are either a songwriter or a music publishing company (or a self-publishing songwriter). This is done because different people can be involved in the writing, recording, and re-recording of songs and each party gets some cut of the royalties.
I've not actually gone through that process yet, but I assume that when you upload music to iTunes you have to attribute the interested parties correctly, and then Apple sends the money to either ASCAP or BMI to be distributed. Then there are services like SoundExchange and Nielsen BDS Radio to make sure you get paid if your songs are streamed online, and other services like Youtube's where you upload your material and confirm you are the owner, and Youtube alerts you if anyone else uploads the same material.
I expected this also covered podcasters, but when I look at BMI's application form it specifically refers to SONGS. So now I'm wondering - how do I protect my podcast recording? How do I register it as MINE so no one else can use it?
I've just spent the last 2 hours skimming articles and headlines, and I can't find a single article that talks about podcasters as rights owners themselves. Does anyone have any resources on this?
I think most of you are obviously already started. Just checking :)
Edit: seems like there is some interest. If you are interested too, please comment below so i can see how many it will benefit.
If there are any other topics you would like me to cover, please let me know below
I’ll try to update this tomorrow afternoonish. Have work and headed to bed now :)
Edit 2: made a sign up sheet: will give further info there!

A couple things.... I’m hoping to launch a podcast in the new year. I’m not really technologically savvy, and I truly don’t have money to budget for this podcast (until I know it’s something I can pull off and enjoy).
This is why Anchor appeals to me. Seems easy enough to use and it’s free.
I’ve read that Anchor has shit analytics. I can see why that’s an issue later down the road, but for now, I’m honestly just dipping my toe in.
So is there something else I should consider? Help me, please!

The Models: BMW 3-Series
What is your favorite generation of the BMW 3-Series?
This is a question that has been asked in pubs, locker rooms, car shows, autocross events, and even some of the cooler dinner tables all over the world for the better part of the last 40 years. In this new podcast from Grease the Wheels, we break down the history of the BMW 3-Series from its company-saving and genre defining predecessor, to its most modern and slightly massive iteration. For the past 40 years, the preeminent contender for best driver’s car has in fact been a member of the BMW 3-Series.
We talk about the 3-Series’ humble origins, creating the entire market segment of “sports sedan” and eventually taking part in one of the all time great market wars with Audi and Mercedes Benz. We also talk about the E30 culture, tax, cool swaps we’ve seen, and one of the all time great unsung heroes of motorsport. The BMW 3-Series has become the BMW that people get first, and when you have that spot in a company’s lineup it is immensely important to get it right. This only gets magnified when that company is in the highest echelons of the automotive industry.
So how have they done? Well in short, pretty damn well! Critically the BMW 3-Series has been named a world’s best for years. They have continually expanded the lineup from just sedans to coupes, convertibles, and GT’s (because apparently everything needs to be a crossover). They have seen the end of carbureted engines and the growth of EFI, the end of naturally aspirated and the normalization of turbocharging, and you could get them in diesel and hybrid.
