Fan Wars: The Empire Claps Back is a phenomenal Star Wars-flavored romcom and you should be listening to it. This is an audio version of the review posted on The Pod Report on July 30th, 2019, read by Gavin Gaddis.

It's the first real episode back! Join me as I talk about three awesome shows, unconventional funding methods, and a refreshing lack of pretension when discussing middle-of-the-road movies. Also I tease talking about a book at the beginning but never get around to it. Sorry all. Discussed this episode: Deadbeats, Inc (season one, no spoilers) The Dungeon Economic Model Black Men Can't Jump [In Hollywood] To hear episodes the week they drop, pledge at any tier at patreon.com/gaving!

In which I talk about why I stopped the show, what I'll be doing to correct the overwhelming whiteness of podcasts I platform without resorting to tokinism, and a potential future for the SILT feed as I make audio versions of The Pod Report articles.

This week we go to the highest of highs and the meh-est of middles. Not really low, but frustratingly mundane at times. I'm talking 1 Way to Make An Emoji and Fun City. To hear episodes the week they drop, pledge at any tier at patreon.com/gaving! Just $1 a month gets full SILT access!

I'm catching y'all up with what's going on in my life/headspace and talk about the stuff I've been listening to, as well as give an impassioned argument that Her Story is an awesome tool for thinking about nonlinear story structure!

Much in fitting with the show itself, time has no meaning and I'm floating away in a brain fog, but I did listen to almost all of season one of TMA and loved it! Let's talk about what works! Let's talk about how the expired plugs at the beginning break the flow! But also it's a great show! To hear episodes the week they drop, pledge at any tier at patreon.com/gaving!

Irish. In. Spaaace! This week I'm changing things up and effectively reviewing the first season of a cool little science fiction podcast about a crew of Irish folk trying to make a living out in a harsh galaxy. I've got some high points, I've got some criticisms, it took up almost all of my podcast-listening time over the weekend at work. Buckle up. Discussed this episode: The Green Horizon - eps 1 - 6 (no spoilers!) To hear episodes the week they drop, pledge at any tier at patreon.com/gaving! Just $1 a month gets full SILT access!

Wow, that one got away from me, an hour long episode of a podcast meant to be lightweight and quick! A lot of gushing about Asstown in this one, as well as some mixed criticism of The Besties (love the show, doesn't mean there aren't things to critique!), and touch on the new We Hate Movies project. Discussed: Asstown: An Animal Crossing Podcast - Eps 1 and 2 The Besties - Everything since the Spotify exclusivity launch We Hate Movies - the first three episodes of Melr0210 To hear episodes the week they drop, pledge at any tier at patreon.com/gaving!

Segment One is basically me adding some unfortunate new context to a show I recommended in Week 5, followed by two awesome shows! Also, surprising nobody, not a huge fan of how Spreaker butchers ad inserts on free accounts! Discussed: Musicalsplaining and Lindsay Ellis' deletion of a racist tweet about Harriet ( https://twitter.com/bimaevepinkman/status/1233145229085224965).

This week's episode was recorded five days late but I make up for it in vocal fry! Today I talk about a podcast that's sometimes 50% plug content, a longtime favorite that's been hitting their stride lately, and a good example of The COVID-19 Episode Of A Podcast that does more good than harm. Discussed: This Paranormal Life - eps 146 through 156 We Hate Movies - Their last year or so of offerings. 99% Invisible - Roman Mars Describes Things as They Are To hear episodes the week they drop, pledge at any tier at patreon.com/gaving!

This week I talk about You Must Remember This's early episodes with every intent to talk about the importance of digging deeper than the top tracks when employing royalty-free music, but then I get off on a tangent and that becomes the main discussion. In fact, this whole episode is a lot of my brain kinda just doing what it wants. Call it experimental monologuing I guess? You Must Remember This - Eps 1 through 3 My Year in Mensa - All of it Love y'all, see you next week. To hear episodes the week they drop, pledge at any tier at patreon.com/gaving!

Discussed this week: Musicalsplaining - Frozen and CATS A rambling discussion about the frustration of podcasts produced for video consumption that're just ripped as MP3s and uploaded as "a podcast." The Adventure Zone - Graduation: Episode 8 No RX elements pass on this one tonight, folks, my PC is so full of files I can't open it to do a de-click pass so this is the most Unplugged you'll hear SILT get.

This week we have three podcasts to talk about, one of which dominated my listening time in raw numbers and one that dominated my brain bandwidth as I had to mull it over in silence. The final segment serves as a behind-the-scenes for my review writing process, in a way. Contained herein: My thoughts on Red Hair, Gold Car, the second-newest episode of Criminal. My thoughts on the first episode of Radiotopia's Over the Road. My glowing review of the first chunk of Finish It! episodes I've listened to, which might have been the reason why I didn't catch up on any other podcasts this week...

Discussed this episode: A hilariously niche ad on Decoder Ring: The Stowe-Byron Controversy A stripped-down but enjoyable interview in 99% Invisible: Missing The Bus The mounting feeling Travis McElroy has over-prepared for The Adventure Zone: Season 3, to the point his players have no real control over what they do in Ep. 7: Secrets, Secrets To hear episodes the week they come out, pledge at any level to patreon.com/gaving

I'm back and I listened to a heaping helping of good stuff! Discussed this week: Blank Check with Griffin and David: Silence of the Lambs HORSE Ep. 42: Wanna Sprite Cranberry?

Welcome to the inaugural episode of Stuff I've Listened To! This go-around: I talk about the impact of hearing the closest thing to a PSA in a podcast yet, as well as ramble about the surprisingly engaging nature of Drew Ackerman's serials on Sleep With Me. Also you learn a lot about my background as a result. Welcome to SILT. I didn't think through the initialism of the show title, whoops.
