Why not just use SoulSeek?
This lets you immediately slot in a spotify link someone sends you to an iOS VLC playlist on the go.
The past few years I am constantly out of the house and on my phone. I used to postpone learning how to make my mobile workflow operate because PC is obviously better. But stuff like this and Invidious keeps me on par with regular people and allows me to be passed the aux without spontaneously combusting out of awkwardness.
SoulSeek doesn't have podcasts.
Now, to be fair, I hate every podcast. But if I want to clip parts of the hosts being stupid to make fun of them in a blog, this utility and other spotify download tools are sadly needed
Yeah I mean I would recommend a tiny fraction but for every part there's 200 parts Joe Rogan and mysteriously high production value unknown cryptocoin podcasts+websites that were created to trick our meemaws and pawpaws
Oh also if you look up Michael Hudson's appearances he tend to visit really cool shows
He talks about the history of central banking in the United States, Europe, and Japan, and how we created the neocolonial structure that persists today, criticizes neoliberal far right banking policy and exposes how it's just there to strip the world of resources for the USA.
The shows on the Geopolitical Economy Report on Youtube are really freaking good, best 20th century history podcast I've listened to.
I appreciate your recommendation, by the way, I will get around to it
Lol based on what you just said, you probably won't like it. It's learning tidbit facts about random stuff, its not explaining geopolitical history to explain why the world is currently as shitty as it is or anything like that.
That's fine lol I got too focused on late 20th century history and I'm not that old, I have a lot of reading to do about general historical trivia too. Like I don't know about, say, Chinese historical epics and shit, so I've been looking that stuff up recently with my brother. Also check out Samir Amin and Andre Gunder Frank and Immanuel Wallerstein and Fernand Braudel if you ever want to get deep into that world systems theory shit. Ancient India and China and western Asia.
Hudson's work is a big influence of David Graeber who seems more popular on this site due to his presence at Occupy and stuff but I find the writing abt the monetary history of the ancient mediterranean and the roman empire and shit much more compelling.
Do you actually work in that field?
Do I make money off blogging? Not by shitposting about people online, or explaining to people why shows they listen to are drivel. For instance I went into the archives of a war show someone recommended and looked up what they were saying about Ethiopia around the time their PM got banned off facebook.
I have published some stuff which I guess constitutes working in writing articles but that's not how I make a living primarily.
I'm just a hater on my own time mainly, saves me the effort of listening to bad shows by immediately finding their flaws lolz
