Rita sounds well adjusted and has records. Tyler has kids with 3 women before 21. Who are you gonna trust?

And yet, Tyler can seem earnest, while Rita does seem a bit opportunistic.

Agreed. Nothing is clear cut.

Despite released all at once, will influence events.

One more episode to go. Wonder if S-Town is going to drop any bombs.

When your tv/movie podcast walks into your golf world and you listen to a non golfer talk about golf.

I heaped praises on the Apple Masters App in the Masters Thread, Alex Lindsey, an industry veteran and video expert does as well on MacBreak Weekly

Finished S-Town, it's really well done and I enjoyed it but didn't like it as much as most did.

The podcast Still Processing has an interesting take on it.

I dont like to admit that I had a problem with credit cards in college, but I did. I listened to the Dave Ramsey podcast for 2 years and have since paid off over $60K in debt among student loans, a car, some personal loans and credit cards. I wouldnt say I strictly followed his plan, but I was able to still enjoy life while putting away 6 months savings, investing, and other than my house, I'm debt free.

Good for you man. The Dave Ramsey plan works, I did it too. I went from drowning in consumer debt in my 20's to having zero debt and a near-perfect credit score by my mid-30's. I recommend it to everyone.

Anyone listen to podcasts at "chipmunk" speed like this article describes?

http://www.cetusnews.com/life/How-Do-Podcast-Nuts-Find-the-Time--They-Listen-at-Chipmunk-Speed.HklZWyfSSW.html

Quote

The San Francisco tech-product manager, unable to find apps with speeds over 3x, created Rightspeed, a $2.99 app that accelerates podcasts in nearly unnoticeable 0.1x increments every two minutes. A one-hour podcast that begins at 2x, ends at 5x and takes 17 minutes.

“It’s sort of like the Roger Bannister, four-minute-mile effect,” Mr. Deutsch says. “Until you’re told it’s possible for a human to listen at this speed, you just decide you can’t.”

I use Overcast, which is one of the players mentioned in the article.  I like the Smart Speed setting (except for music like All Songs Considered)--I don't even notice that it's compressing the playback.  The pitch of the playback isn't affected, so the voices aren't higher.

I listened to it all within 24 hours. I don't even really know why I found it so interesting. 

Last I heard, @Golfingdad is on episode 3. 

I pretty much did the same. I listened to it driving to Augusta from ATL and on my Masters trip. The reason I liked it was I am into what I call 'slice of life' type shows. That is my term for a TV show. movie or podcast that exposes one to life as other people are living it. Of course the characters have to be interesting and their needs to be some type of conflict or drama. I think S-Town was all of that for me. The ending where you learned more about the central character was very interesting to me at least.

Better than Serial? Or too different to say? Only halfway through 1st episode. Reviews coming up, so probably need to get going.

Different as others have already said. I would say not quite as detailed as Serial. I like Serial but have some issues with the way some of it is presented. At least for the Adnan Sayed episodes.

1.5 is about the most, very liberal with ff/rew buttons though.

Great app. Does anyone else think the $10/year ad removal is pricey for a podcast app?

I just use the free version. It wouldn't break me to subscribe, but after it went to the ad-based/subscription dichotomy I tried the ad-based version and it doesn't bother me.

As long as I'm posting in this thread today:

I've been listening to Lance Armstrong's podcast commentary on each day of the Tour de France, called Stages.

Regardless of what you may think of him, the controversy, etc., I find his insight into the daily events of the TDF to be interesting.

I haven't been a podcast guy up til now, but listened to the first 2 episodes of s-town and looking forward to finishing. Pretty addictive. I didn't look too closely at this thread for fear of reading the ending. ?
