47 yo Kevin Smith sidelined with a massive heart attack.
Complete blockage of LAD artery.
Symptom onset between standup shows yesterday, went to ER and caught in timely manner.
Usually fatal if onset outside clinical setting.
After the first show this evening, I had a massive heart attack. The Doctor who saved my life told me I had 100% blockage of my LAD artery (aka “the Widow-Maker”). If I hadn’t canceled show 2 to go to the hospital, I would’ve died tonight. But for now, I’m still above ground! pic.twitter.com/M5gSnW9E5h
I'm putting this here, even though Howard Stern is on Sirius/XM, not a podcast. But man, Howard is taking in the FUCKING SHORTS over Scott Salem's wife.
Salem is a 'sad sack' engineer for the show, and has been with him forever. He's the butt of jokes, but ostensibly all in good fun.
But now, his wife has recurring cancer, and Scott has set up a GoFundMe, and Artie Lange is holding a benefit night to raise funds, and all sorts of friends of the show are donating.
Naturally, Howard isn't saying a word on air. And everywhere his fanbase congregates is positively burning to the ground over it. [Reply]
Recently been listening to a couple of true crime casts. There's Sword and Scale, an ongoing bi-weekly show that covers a variety of (mostly) murders. And the other, Atlanta Monster, is a weekly pod about the Atlanta child murders of the late 70's and early 80's that just ended it's initial season. Macabre but interesting and entertaining. [Reply]

Last podcast on the left rocks for this (sorry if it’s been posted already) [Reply]
Here's a list of podcasts to keep pretty much any history buff busy for a couple years. Dan Carlin's Hardcore History "Wrath of Khans" is amazing as well as the mafia (if you're into organized crime) podcasts:

The Fall of Rome podcast and Tides of History (both by the same guy) are good history podcasts too. Tides of History is mostly about Europe between the fall of Rome and the Renaissance. [Reply]

The only bad thing I can say about the mafia podcast is that it's too short. I burnt through all of them already and can say without a doubt that the Sam Giancana one was the best.
Goes into rudimentary depth to his involvement (speculative) in the JFK assassination. Really good stuff.
I'm hitting up the WWII podcast next. I've already burnt through all Dan Carlin's stuff. He's the bomb if you like history. "Wrath of Kahns" is hands down the best history podcast I've ever listened to. [Reply]
