On the contrary, I find it helps to imagine them when reading threads on /links.

Doesn't work so well
When the link takes you to an unskippable advert. Nurofen in my case, so at least their algorithm is working.

Every once in a while
I'll see or hear something like this and think "Maybe I should check this podcast out."
Then I visit the site, faff about with script blocking because it's so badly coded, select a clip to listen to, and quit after at least 90 seconds of forced media adverts, patreon begging and shilling, having heard none of the content I selected.

I think Benpics selects the best nuggets
and animates them so you don't have to trawl through the rest of it. That's what I think anyway.

Why not use a podcast aggregator like
podbean, apple/google podcasts etc - I haven't gone to most of the websites of podcasts I like.
They have 30s skip features on all of the platforms.

Why not offer a service that doesn't use forced media in the first place?
Like, why not just link to an mp3 and let your audience decide how they want to play it? Why make it harder for people to access the non-advert content?
Greedy cunts is why.

vaudeville just sounded super competitive
to pull a crowd night after night with the punters having plenty to choose from in essentially a single medium open to entertainers. to make a name for yourself above the rest you had to be extraordinarily talented and practised, like chaplin, keaton and fields nice find

yeah I always imagined it as a tough business
Like jazz band musicians in them days, you had to be good. Know all the standards, sight read fluently. Recordings were done in one shot and woe to you if you fucked up.

Amazing
Speaking as a juggler (I can Mill's Mess three clubs on singles and cascade five balls, if that means anything) that was... mostly OK. By modern standards pretty pedestrian, but by the standards of back then, great. But...
The routine with the cigar boxes right at the end is fucking fantastic. I can do stuff with balls, clubs (and therefore also knives and fire), contact juggle, club swing, hat juggle, trick balance and so on, but the thing I've never, ever been able to master is the stop-go-stop rhythm of cigar box juggling. It is HARD, partly because it's so different from everything else. And he NAILS it. I do remember in one of the (too many) books I have on juggling, Fields is specifically name-checked as one of the all-time greats of that under-appreciated style.

I remember first time I heard Supper's Ready on mushies
It felt like I had never really heard it properly before. I wonder how my psycho tricks were put in recordings to click with trippers

While I've never watched this on psychedelics, it's always given me a similar feeling with the small details it contains youtu.be/zAhFzB2JDDA

I've used Steve Hillage to blow druggy minds before
Green is particularly good for that =)
Kinda different effect from Supper's Ready, That is emotional overload whereas the stuff like wot u linked and Hillage is more tinkering around and fooling with your ears

Mentioning Dyson has really triggered some people.
When /links starts to discuss the bins, it's care home time.

His girlfriend found a cheat code for god mode (and this was before he got internet), and played the entire thing from start to finish without being able to be damaged. probably signifies something about life

All looks weirdly sterile to me
Which Michelangelo certainly does not. That one on the right has a bit of a Bernini feel but again, none of the thrill.

“Jago is a world, he is an existence, a character"
why stop there? "Jago is an idea, a fragrance, a regret. He is a spicy papadum that you didn't order and then argued about with the waiter"

The lady in the middle is Jess Ransom, she answered an ad when I was at uni to star, unpaid in my shit Uni final project and we pretty much cut out everything she did when we edited. Oops. She ended up doing Horrible Histories films.
