What thing do you love that you can never get anyone else to check out? (lemmy.world)

Kind of a hard question to word, but is there anything in your life you have recommended to other people but no one's ever gotten into?

I love podcasts and have friends who still thank me for getting them into this one or that one. But I've never gotten anyone to listen to My Brother, My Brother and Me. I don't know if the name is unappealing or the concept but people seem to bounce off immediately.

So what can't you get people into and why should we check it out?

Mbmbam is fantastic. Haven’t listened to it in years but that’s cuz I listen to the adventure zone mostly.

If you work on a computer for any appreciable length of time per day then you absolutely should build or buy yourself a split ergometric keyboard. You will never regret it, you will be faster at typing, your body will hurt less, you will be able to program it to do literally anything you want, and it will last longer than any other keyboard you can buy from major brands like razer or Logitech. I’ve only ever been able to get people to go into mechanical keyboards, but never ergometric or splits.

Mbmbam sounds like a talk radio channel on Omicron Persei VIII.

Their best show is "Women are from Omicron Persei VII, men are from Omicron Persei VIIII"

It's funny how you can mention one of the most popular podcasts and still it's true that a lot of people will just never get into it.

It's been a long time since I checked in directly with MBMBAM, but I don't think I'll ever stop having a man-crush on Justin "Hoops" McElroy.

In that same vein but even more obscure:

F**kface

Genuinely the podcast that brings the most joy to me in my daily life. It is not obnoxious like Dynamic banter, it has elements of MBMBAM, but hasn't fallen into the rut of following a formula (the movie + munch squads have gotten a bit too much for me recently).

I haven't laughed like that since 2015-2018 mbmbam where they released so many bangers.
