OK, I've started watching #plur1bus for real, now at ep 3.
And I'm shocked to find there's apparently nothing on #TheIncomparable about it? What (unofficial) Pluribus podcast do people listen to?

📖 Annalee Newitz: Automatic Noodle
I rarely manage to actually read new books - it's quite usual that I'm at least a year behind, catching up on some award season books. This was an exception. I heard @jsnell recommend Automatic Noodle during the most recent @incomparable book club episode and just went and got it straight away. And I'm really glad I did as it was excellent!
Four robots are rebooted in a flooding restaurant that used to be their workplace but has been abandoned by the shady owners. They decide to take over the running of the restaurant themselves and start to serve proper food instead of the crap they were forced to do before.
This is the simplistic, surface level description of the book, but it's also so much more than that. It is a story about a post war world, trauma, love, independence, and survival. And it's very much a book about prejudice and who gets to be considered an individual with rights.
An absolutely fantastic read! Jason mentioned this in the podcast by saying this might be an award shortlisted book next year, and I definitely hope he is right. It would definitely deserve it.

Radio Free Skaro #1020 – ChatRTD
http://traffic.libsyn.com/freyburg/rfs1020.mp3
If you enjoy baseless speculation about the future of Doctor Who, The War Between the Land and the Sea, RTD’s career prospects, and most importantly, musings about Edmonton AM radio frequencies past and present, then this episode of Radio Free Skaro is for you (you sicko)! Plus we cover a new official Doctor Who quiz book from Beth Axford and “The Moon Cruise” by Esmie-Jikiemi-Pearson, some Steven Taylor Big Finish goodness, Steven’s recent podcast promiscuity and the second part of our Classic Series Commentary for “The Visitation”!

@siracusa @atpfm I’ve used #atpmovieclub ‘s audio guides for #myneighbortotoro and #kikisdeliveryservice to begin watching #studioghibli. I’m ready to continue. Have you published your recommended viewing order? And are there corresponding #TheIncomparable episodes you did discussing them?
Shoutout to @glennf for #TheIncomparable ep. 698: I too believe that the scene when Cleon kills the gardener’s entire legacy is the most evil thing I have ever watched on TV.
I have only started listening now to #TheIncomparable ep. 698, about the 'Foundation' TV series.
One of those rare cases where I can say that @siracusa is completely wrong!
I read the books when I was 18, and re-read them at least 5 times. I loved the idea of psychohistory; it makes complete sense to me (in a sci-fi way of course).
I like the TV series, but I LOVED the books. The TV series doesn't do the original plot justice.
Don't let #TheBoyAndTheHeron / A Dark Totoro (#TheIncomparable #700) be your *first* episode of @incomparable
Just don't. 😂
Also, don't let it be your last! 🏆
Amazing to me that the Eglath's Angels #TTRPG actual play podcast on #TheIncomparable is still going.
Seven years, I think?
Brilliant episode of The Incomparable on Barbie. @_brianhamilton was in particularly great form. #theincomparable #barbie
I am catching up on Vulcan Hello, the @incomparable podcast about current Star Trek shows, and I was excited to hear @briannawu on the episode recapping Season 1 Episode 2 of Picard! #StarTrek #TheIncomparable #Podcast #Picard
Thanks to #TheIncomparable for reminding me to go read The Golden Enclaves (third book in Naomi Novik’s Scholomance series). Novik does an amazing job of writing a transparent metaphor that instead of being eye-rolling is eye-opening. Not sure how the book’s solutions to the metaphorical threat can apply to our capitalist, racist, patriarchal real-world issues, but it’s definitely food for thought.
It's so *cute* to re-listen to @jsnell & The Crew at #TheIncomparable's #TeeVee #DoctorWho podcasts from waaaay back in 2011 (The Doctor's Wife).
They're mentioning that @neilhimself has a "Twitter Account" - amongst his many accomplishments.
These days, that's kind of a condemnation! 😂
@HollyGoDarkly Before I forget or lose my nerve, I want to thank you for your work on #TotalPartyKill and #TheIncomparable.
#TPK is my go-to podcast for distracting my overactive brain. I've got the bootlegs and final edits organized in playlists by campaign. I've listened to most of them 3 or 4 times.
And recently, I've been greeted by your voice at the start of each skillfully-edited episode!
Well done, and thanks.
@ChaskaTheMagicDog I wonder if suggesting that they listen to an actual play podcast or YouTube video might help some of them? Although I am a #ttrpg gamer from way back, it did help me get into the swing of #5e when I joined a new group a while back. But I’d avoid the more famous or long-running ones. If I can plug one of my faves, look into Total Party Kill on #TheIncomparable network. Season 19 was a series of short, low-level adventures some involving brand new players.
@mikebrew @SuperSideshow Exactly what I was saying.
I love @donmelton & @Verso's #Westworld podcast on #TheIncomparable TeeVee network, but until I got used to their:
[Kelly]: I mean I can't believe when...
[Don] I know ... but when they did that
[Kelly]I know! Wow... How do we know what happened when...?
I almost cried until I got the hang of their shorthand! 😂
They don't do this often anymore...
[ps: Love ya' Kelly & Don...this is NOT an attack! It's an explanation]
The only way I can understand many shows these days is to follow @jsnell's #TheIncomparable's podcast feeds! The "Mothership" is really, really good!
Give 'em a try!
WOW! Going from my #AirPodsPro2 *back* to my #AirPodsPro for something as simple as listening to a #TheIncomparable podcast (that I know the quality and sound characteristics of) is a HUGE difference. Way "thinner" sound. I don't hear the depth I do in my #AirPodsPro2!
@MothmanJunior I'm also a #TheIncomparable fan like you. Add to that the Sword and Laser podcast hosted by @acedtect and @sarahlane.
