Critical Role - Campaign II

Around 2015 "actual play experiences" started to be a 'thing' when it came to RPG and streaming with dozens of initiatives across twitch.tv and various podcast platforms to the point where this happened at Gen Con 2018. Critical Role is probably not even the most popular of them, but it definitely stands out on a couple of fronts as evidenced by breaking the film/television record of kickstarter by getting $11M for an animated series of their first campaign. Matt Mercer is a DM who is almost as good as our own sensei used to be on his best days and the players are not too shabby either. The production quality is remarkable and is continuously enhanced through the usage of props, miniatures, elaborate battle scenes, etc.
Critical Role is what you get when a bunch of D&D loving voice actors decide to go public with their role playing habit. A weekly installment of goofy fun, a run that has a fair dose of acting (so watching it is recommended, but the podcast works) emphasizing the drama of a well-timed natural 20.

Sam Harris: Waking up (2013- )

Sam Harris' career as a public intellectual started in the aftermath of 9/11. To him - similarly to Christopher Hitchens - the terrorist attack was a life-changing event. It triggered him to write a book dedicated to expose faith in the supernatural as a malignant force threatening civilisation. In 2007 he became one of the four horsemen of the New Atheists and spent most of the next decade participating in public debates over religion, Islam, free speech and science. Almost all events are available on Youtube and I encourage everyone to watch them. Harris is a terrific debater. Incredibly smart, eloquent and witty.

Wolverine: The Long Night (2018)

History moves in cycles, even in technology. Television dealt a killer blow to radio dramas more than half a century ago, yet with the podcasts they might make a comeback. Marvel's first foray into this old-new medium is Wolverine: The Long Night.

The Rubin Report

A Rubin Report kilog az eddigi, a blog altal meghatarozott, kategoriakbol, de epp ideje hogy bekeruljon egy uj. Egyelore fusson podcast neven, bar ez eppen nem az.

Dave Rubin egy magat klasszikus liberaliskent definialo egykori stand-up comedist, es egykori progressziv baloldali, a kifejezes amerikai ertelmeben. Hogy miert abrandult ki a baloldalbol, azt roviden elmondja a fenti videoban. Hetrol-hetre jelentkezo talk show-janak vendegei a legkulonbozobb es legerdekesebb alakok, Milo Yiannopoulos-tol Sam Harris-ig. Ateistak, libertariusok, fekete konzervativok, konzervativ gamerek, szelsojobb meleg keresztenyek (ez komoly, lasd Milo), Trump-tamogatok, feministakbol lett ferfijogi aktivistak, anti-social justice warriors es rengeteg egyeb csodabogar. Ami osszekoti oket, hogy erdekes es intelligens emberek, legtobbjuk keprombolo a mainstream szemeben, akikkel Dave nem feltetlenul ert egyet, de mindig kivancsi a velemenyukre.

Ha a sorok irojahoz hasonloan a vilagkeped szerint a liberalizmus egyszeruen egyenlo a jozan esszel es humanizmussal, a vallasos konzervativizmus pedig, hat...legalabbis nehany evszazaddal valo visszacsuszassal, akkor dolj hatra, es elvezd a show-t. A vilag sokkal bonyolultabb es erdekesebb hely.
