I’ve got two friends who are interested in listening to WTYP, though they’re a bit cautious about it since I told them it was a podcast hosted by leftists that does get political at times. Trying to think of the best episodes to highlight to them (the ones where they don’t just fuck around for the first 30 minutes especially)? I feel like Grenfell Tower is pretty great. What others?
The V-22 Osprey episode is a fun one because it talks about the pure wastefulness of the US military with some serving members, but yeah traffic engineering is probably a good one, that and the antifreeze wine
MS Estonia disaster one is really good and is before the whole thing disappeared up its own ass a bit
also donoteat’s video on his own channel about how elon musk’s loop is fucking stupid
edit: if I was going to try to pipeline someone leftwards I’d probably get them to listen to something like the We Live in The Zone Now episode of Chapo instead of the niche engineering podcast hosted by a trans muslim convert communist.
I’ll add Piper Alpha and Sampoong Department Store.
Sampoong Department Store is excellent. They do a really good job highlighting how fucking greedy the owner was to the point of killing all those people. I remember watching an engineering disasters show as a kid and saw it, and it never covered (🤔🤔🤔) just how profit-motivated this guy was.
