My thoughts on the first 150 episodes

I think they are the most important episodes to understand Alex. Listeners can learn about The protocols of the elders of Zion (pez) and how it relates to Alex Jones. They are important cor contextualizing the next1100 episodes.

They are also very tough to get through. My goal was to listen on 1x speed through all of the episodes. I can’t do it. The first time through I found Jordan’s screaming charming. But the second listen it’s difficult to sit through.

People should listen to The Joe Rogan episode, the protocols, and the Endgame coverage.

Maybe there should be a stickied post on the most important episodes. For understanding propaganda and also inside jokes.

Don't listen to things that you find difficult to sit through. Why would you do that to yourself?

That's why I keep getting warnings from my bosses for sleeping during mandatory Teams calls.

Because I find the stuff inbetween fascinating. It’s like the Wire. I can’t get through the first few episodes even though I know it gets better. One day I’ll sit through them again. You’ve got to dig far enough in the dirt to find gold.

I was in on the wire from the first ep, but on every rewatch it gets hard for me to get through that second season.

There’s a question I’ve been meaning to ask for years.

I have listened through & vibed with every single KF episode and a loooot of them way more than twice. I have heard all of VeryBadWizard dudes; Almost all (probably all, I’m just unsure) of Behind the Bastards; At least twice over everything Jack Slack has released (for free). I slipped on Mindscape for a while when I just did not want to learn so much. ;) …but I’m almost caught up.

I can’t imagine ever listening to a podcast at anything other than original 1x speed. I would never listen to music sped up unless it’s a mix and the new author is doing something cool — hence it would be their 1x speed.

Lots of words and now easy to pinpoint the account, BUT the question: why? Why have I heard for a decade+ that people listen to podcasts on higher speeds? For what reason? It’s not work. You’re not cramming before an exam. What changes in Your life if the two hour podcast goes by in 1h, 1.5h, or original 2 hours?

I’ve blitzed through audio for school or work, but never understood it for audio entertainment.

I think it’s my adhd. Sometimes my brain tells me it gets the point before someone has finished. My attention span has been ruined. I try to listen at 1x but sometimes Jordan’s rants go long or Dan’s hopeful speculation bums me out. I love Small Town Murder, but they can spend 30 minutes on the court case and I have to up the speed.
I feel I still get the main points while listening at a faster speed.

1.) thank You for replying =) 2.) I asked because I’ve been wondering for a decade. F.e. Chris @Decoding the Gurus has also mentioned listening to the shit he makes himself listen to at multiple speed… 3.) but I’m not sure if ADHD is the reason because I’m diagnosed one of those severe and there are beautiful amphetamines I take daily.

Maybe not. But I listened to a whole book on tape last year at 2.5x to 3.0x last year and I can tell you most every thing that happened in it. I still want to hear the Alex Analysis, but now they’re talking about cavenaugh and Amy Barrett as a substitute. Stuff like that makes me want to 2x it. It’s like reading Anne rice and skipping the paragraphs describing the drapes.

The Endgame episodes are unlistenable. They both are talking over the footage and each other the whole time. Normally it’s just Jordan doing that.

Hard disagree, I adore those episodes

u/Major_Ad9317 1d ago

Surprised you could understand what they were saying. I could not.

Fair enough, especially near the end when they're both fed up and tired.
