Those aren't podcasts

There is plenty of podcasts behind a paywall.

I’m glad! If you want a few recent episodes, I really liked the Portal interview with Chet Faliszek and the Gone Home interview with Karla Zimonja

I've been thinking about rewatching Galactica, I'll give that one a try.

I just listened to one episode, I think I like it.

Movies, and is that pro-wrestling? Now I'm extra curious.

Well There‘s Your Problem This is a podcast about engineering disasters and systemic failures, from a leftist perspective, with jokes

what’s all this then? it’s quite simple really - engineering goes not good, the ntsb investigates, and then we decide to complain about it. what happened? when did it happen? who was there? and most importantly - why?

we don’t just mean why did a bridge collapse, or why did a plane crash - how did the systems fail? what could have been done to prevent this? and why does this keep happening? we have no idea - we’re not the experts. but we can try to figure it out together.

Retrograde Amnesia. Hosts Chris and Eric get together to play and discuss old 1990s and early 2000s JRPGs in sometimes excruciating detail. If you ever wanted to hear two liberal dudes from Louisville Kentucky talk JRPGs, check it out.

Frak This Podcast. Hosted by Jessie Gender and Vera Wylde, Frak This Podcast cover the 2000s remake of the hit television series, Battlestar Galactica. Jessie is rewatching, Vera is watching for the first time. If you wanted to take in Battlestar Galactica for the first time, or just wanted to rewatch, this podcast is a great accompaniment to it.

Pod Damn America. Want to hear hot takes about the current state of affairs in America from two socialist comedians? Maybe not, but hey, if you do for some reason, hosts Jake Flores and Anders J. Lee have got you covered.

The Worst Year of Our Lives, starting at season 2, when it’s just Scott and Drew talking about movies. I really enjoyed hearing their “best of” 2010 - 2019.

Rest in Power, Big Cat :c

If you’re into games, Dev Game Club is a podcast where the hosts play retro games and discuss how they influenced what came after. Lots of times they interview developers after they cover a game, those are the best episodes! Their latest episode is their 10 year anniversary so there’s a lot of them

with the flagship serving as an ersatz ad for the latter.

These I unsubscribe from.

That said, you have a point and I'm checking out @lemmeatem@lemmy.ml's links now.

Thank you so much, I'll check this out! 🙂

I just use antenna pod and if I wanted to I'm pretty sure I could download the episodes through that and put them on a server. I'm not sure what that would really accomplish for me though.

"Wherever you get your podcasts" is a radical statement.

I think the thing you're looking for isn't so much "piracy" but something more like "archiving" because typically you don't paywall podcasts cause that was a good way to get people to know about your work/site. Honestly though, I don't know of any site that really does that work outside of maybe archive.org.

There's plenty of podcast piracy. For example, look on SoulSeek. Slskd is a FOSS client. Use it to search for user "podking."

Podcasts seem to be the only type of media impossible to find on torrent indexing sites.

I haven't looked, but I'm not surprised because podcasts aren't really the kind of medium people would tend want to keep a large local archive of.

If you're just looking for premium feeds there are sites like piratefeeds.net

You can't "pirate" something that's publicly available.

Ologies is my new favorite by a lot! Each episode is about a new "-ology" and it's really wonderful (e.g. one is about beavers, one for sewer rats, one for ADHD, one for capybara, etc.) She talks to a scientist/scientists in the field and does a mini deep-dive.

I wish they would bring AntennaPod to iOS. I’ve heard great things about it, and I wish I could try it. I’m currently on Podcast Republic, which has been recommended as being the closest to AntennaPod for iOS. I really like it, and it has a very responsive dev, but I’m still curious how AntennaPod would stack up.
