Posting Unsubstantiated Rumours on this Website is Strictly Forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

Okay - I am late to arrive on the podcast scene but have now been listening to some great stuff over the last couple of months.

A must listen is "serial" - especially the first one and from the same people "S-town".

The other podcast which i have been enjoying is "those conspiracy guys" - this podcast does not reveal too much new stuff but it is 3 Irish dudes talking a bit of fact and whole lot of really amusing nonsense. I only have to hear an Irish accent and i get the giggles.

Yeah,  I'm heavily into podcasts nb ... Movies & TV shows mainly.  But for something different,  'Inside Psycho' & 'Inside The Exorcist' are both extremely good (both rank high on the various podcast charts) 'This American Life' is also quite good.  

For any movie that I've really liked or for a particular favourite movie,  I can listen to as many as 10 podcasts to re-live that film.  Once done,  listening to that many podcasts about a movie often makes one want to watch that particular movie again!

The intriguing part about podcasts is that anyone can do them ... and because of that,  they are not exactly big money-spinners.  In effect,  podcasts are like a community service out in the public domain.  They're here to stay for the same types of reasons.

Serial and S-Town were unreal. Actually looked forward to getting out of bed and heading to work in the morning coz I knew I could get through an episode in the car

I just finished listening to S-town which was very good. I occasionally listen to the Joe Rogan Experience when he has interesting guests on there which I would recommend checking out. For my more macabre interests there is one called "The Last Podcast On The Left" where 3 comedians go into depth about different serial killers, murders, war crimes and things like that which can be very funny at times and extremely morbid.

I listen to a lot of podcasts now, in no particular order here's some of the better ones I've listed to:

  • Serial (both seasons)
  • Black hands
  • Trace
  • Dirty John
  • Crimetown
  • How I Built This
  • Reply All
  • S-Town

Anything by Gimlet seems to be good, very polished and the hosts are always excellent.

S-town was quite amazing i thought - it made me happy, sad, smile, cringe and angry at any given minute. John McLemore was the most complex person I think I have heard of.

If you've seen the hit comedy 'The Big Sick' here's an excellent podcast which includes interviews with a number of the stars of the movie (Holly Hunter,  Kumail Nanjiani,  Ray Romano & Emily V Gordon)

I've enjoyed a few podcasts on the commute to work. I really enjoyed Serial. I love TEAM Effort for a laugh. It's Ed Kavalee, Tony Martin and a range of guests. The early Cracked podcasts are interesting and funny. They've really gone downhill over time though.

Here is a dramatised real-life tale of survival worth a listen.  Given up for dead the survivors of a shipwreck remained on a freezing barren island half way between Cape Town & Antarctica for 7 lonely months.

For history buffs - Slow Burn - a podcast about Watergate - really good.

That is an excellent find nb ... I've listened to 4 of the 8 episodes so far and it is first rate and very enlightening.

S-Town was magnificent. Might have to revisit that one.

Started getting into the Joe Rogan experience again lately but mostly in the form of YouTube clips. I wish they would do like a 1 hour condensed version of the show just don't have time for the full 3 hours!

This one is worth a listen ... X-Files style  Limetown

And this podcast Homecoming was the forerunner to the newly released TV Drama with the same title (which stars Julia Roberts)  The TV series is also very good.

For guitar players, Guitarwank is a good one...http://www.guitarwank.com

Bruce Forman & Scott Henderson with Troy McCubbin (Host)...and guests (sometimes).

Bruce and Scott are killer players, very different styles and personalities making for very interesting and often very funny conversations.

I also like Shane Theriot's "Riff Raff" podcast...Shane is the guitar player with Hall & Oats but his background is from New Orleans and he spent time playing with the Neville Brothers and Dr John to name a couple of legendary acts there. https://shanetheriot.com/shane-s-podcast-the-riff-raff

While it is also broadcast on Radio National, Late Night Live with Phillip Adams is top notch. He covers a wide array of topics from politics, art, literature, economics, science to whatever else is thought provoking. The people who whinge about his supposed bias have usually never listened to the show or if they have, they have been too attached to their preconceptions to give it a fair go.

I listen to Rogan IF he has an athlete or outdoor type person on. However, his 'academic' and philosophical interviews with people like Jordan Peterson, Dave Rubin and Brett Weinstein are bloody interminable (though his interviews with Neil DeGrasse Tyson are pretty good). I find them grating not because of ideological perspective but because they drag on and on and I just end up screaming at my IPhone, 'Get to the bloody point!' I appreciate that he wants to cover a lot of ground but it feels like you are on a merry go round at times. Plus he is a bit of a woo-meister. 

I listened to Freakanomics for a while there but it felt a bit too vanilla for mine. I also got shiffy when they devoted a podcast of Lance Armstrong trying to publicly rehabilitate himself. I felt it was them platforming him.

    DEE-RUBBING by George on the Outer

    For the second week in a row, the Demons had to endure some particularly oppressive match conditions — this time, playing in 30 degree temperatures at the MCG, following the humid sticky Sydney atmosphere of last week.   The warmer conditions didn’t seem to worry the Dee’s since the ball was so much easier to handle, and handle it with surety they did in handing out a 45 point drubbing to the much fancied Western Bulldogs.   After a slow start that saw the Dogs out to

    CROSSING THE PICKETT LINE by The Oracle

    Melbourne’s performance in losing its Round Zero contest in Sydney has certainly caused the club, the coach and the players to come firmly under the watchful eye of the football world and exposed all of its aspects to a microscopic lens.   Much of the commentary surrounding them has been less than complimentary and, while some might argue that this is unfair after only one round, leaving aside some of the scuttlebutt that surrounds a lot of the discussion around the game, a fair amoun
