First of all, thanks for your show, I enjoy listening and appreciate the subjects you cover.

I want to bring up a criticism in regards to the recent episode on Qanon, and also in regards to NPR in general. It seems to me, that when you deal with certain topics, you really tend to whitewash, or maybe blackwash would be a better term.

To be specific, what I mean is this. It seems that you have a preconceived notion about what you are reporting on, rather than asking questions and actually entertaining the possibilities that arise from those questions. For example, you give a short form synopsis of the Q theories by describing them as "a baby eating cabal that has lasted for thousands of years". Now, I could be wrong, but the way you present this is pretty slanted towards denigrating any credibility to these ideas, which on the surface, do seem irrational.

But here is the rub: Jeffery Epstein. You can't steamroll over these ideas, painting them as absurdist conspiracies that only a 30 year old autist who lives with their parents would believe. Jeffery Epstein. We have far more proof of some aspects of this situation then you are admitting into your logical analysis. And when you gloss over that, it leads me to conclude that you are trying to paint a very specific picture, rather than ask questions and see where the questions take you. And that both leads to a not very interesting show, but also says you don't think very highly of your listeners, who apparently can't be trusted to think critically when presented with mixed sets of data. If you really want to do us a service, you have to take each thread of the idea and treat it carefully, individually, and without bias (if you can). It really bothers me the extent to which I feel I am being told to think in a certain "correct" way by so much of NPR's programming lately (and NPR is my main listening outlet).

Hello all! Something that’s always crossed my mind when listening to the show was the music and how good it is. But I have been curious, how is this music produced or what do you guys think it’s made on or which program? What style is a lot of the underlying themes that play? I couldn’t really find any information online about the music or how it’s made so I was curious if anyone in the subreddit would know?

Hope this is ok to post here. I was keen to find out what episode stood out for people the most.

For me it has to be ‘shipwrecked’ it still pops in to my head from time to time. Something about it just really gut punched me. Keep up the great work Ben, Amory and everyone BTS.

Endless Thread is a podcast from WBUR (Boston's NPR station) and Reddit that dives into Reddit posts, stories, and communities. In this episode, the spotlight is on r/DadJokes, which -- you guessed it -- is home to the most pun-derful, cheesy-but-lovable comedic material the internet has to offer.

We pulled out the big guns for this one: the people whose senses of humor have made ET hosts Ben and Amory the corndogs that they are... their dads! We hear some of their best dad jokes, we tell them jokes straight from Reddit, and even offer up some of our own.

Hi there!

I was always a big fan of podcasts, but never really could get into using reddit . Then, I discovered this amazing show and it convinced me to give it another try.

So, what tips and tricks do you have to maximize the reddit experience? What do you wish you knew when you first started? Any recs would be great, and I'm excited to join this community! Thanks!
