idiots only

god it's so weird that ive been in podcast fandom for like, four years, and now we're in a time where people don't know what the bright sessions is... is this how old people feel when they see things that teens are into??? im fjdfkdh

Me, standing on my porch looking out: You kids these days with your ‘fabric rustles’ and ‘carte blanch found family’! In my day, we listened to Caleb Michaels have a breakdown to his therapist and we liked it! And if we were extra good, Night Vale would bring out the Mara Wilson for us to all sit around and cheer! 

spiritually, we have rocking chairs and are shaking our fists at noisy kids down the street

Me, looking out the window at the hooligans: You kids will never understand the old days! When I was young we had to scour the internet for content! We had our nightly rituals of seeing which wolf 359 or bright sessions actor was gonna be the side character in the next up and coming podcast that would finish half a season then disappear off the face of the earth!!

not to be hunted for sport on tumblr but i have a very big issue with how representation in media is discussed here. the podcasts you are praising do not have good rep. tell me how many people of color are in that mainstream podcast of yours that has ‘SO MUCH REPRESENTATION OH MY GOD HOW AM I EVER GOING TO GO BACK TO CISHET MEDIA AFTER THIS’. how many of them have central roles? you may be represented- we are not. podcasts are one of the most white gay forms of media i have ever seen. if you’re going to reply to this with a recommendation of a podcast featuring people of color, i appreciate it, but know that i listen to and seek out podcasts like that already and that does not counter the fact that podcasts popular on tumblr for their representation tend not to have good representation of people of color. they are almost always made by queer (or, less commonly, cishet) white people as well, diminishing poc voices especially in the writer’s room, which is where it really matters. the problem is not that you are listening to them and supporting them, but that you are praising them for representation with little to no critical thinking about how race is presented.

Be careful with your kids’ Halloween candy!! I just found a clone of Daniel Jacobi with all his thoughts and memories inside my 6 year-old’s snickers bar!!!!!!

No dogs on the moon, no dogs in the archives, no dogs in the dog park.... podcasts sure have a lot of rules about where dogs can be, huh?

every single person that works at rusty quill sounds like they're all faking a british accent and any minute one person is going to crack and admit that they're faking it and then everyone is going to give in out of guilt and make apology videos the whole company is going to fall apart
