As mentioned here already, episode 138, audiophile bullshit, is my go to, the episode is great, but I think most people can laugh at people trying to sell stikers that make your audio system sound good, and then you get to Patrick82, who is the best

I'll thank you very much to keep your lies and slander to yourself. The F Plus has a rotating cast of vocal talent that can mimic every dialect in the UK.

I recently re-listened to #194, Reddit Legal Advice, and I think that could be a great starter episode. Not only is it a really funny episode in general, the subject matter is weird in a way I don't think would be confusing to someone who's not already Very Online. In addition, there are only four readers in this one, so it might be a little more approachable, and the workjerk27 story feels like it'd be a solid litmus test to see if someone would enjoy the grosser stuff that comes up in the podcast or just get too grossed out.

Agreed for all the reasons listed above, and also because of Adam's delivery of "someone thinks they live in an anime!"

I'm going to toss episode 96 -- HOCUS BOGUS! -- into the mix, because it's a fairly lighthearted romp through a wide variety of inherently silly stuff, and it's fairly accessible with a low incidence of in-jokes (with just the right sprinkling of them for listeners to catch later on a re-listen x3). It's also not terribly gross.

Because it covers a wide variety of topics within the broader scope of silly spells of magick, you can use what they liked best as a jumping-off point for suggesting future episodes.

Plus, it introduces more people to THE KILLING SPELLLLLLLLL, which is a wonderful thing. :B

Incidentally, I've been wondering for some time if there's merit to the idea of putting out some sort of "best of" episode? There's a lot of ground to cover, and people should know right away to never fuck the car hot.

I think there's merit in that idea. It could be something like Episode(s) 200 except with the ridiculists explaining why they like a particular reading so much.

Might be a good idea for Episode 300 if you don't have a plan for it already.

In my opinion a best-of episode works better if it's just a tightly-edited compilation of highlights, one after another. Interjections by the ridiculists probably wouldn't add much. I always thought relistenability has been one of the podcast's strengths.

What about something in the middle? I don't think straight jumps between segments would work well, because it seems like it would be jarring to switch subjects so quickly. Maybe just short intermissions acting as preambles to the next clip, explaining the episode it came from and giving a bit of context?

I don't think that another clip show has a chance of improving on Episode 200.  What I'd love is another anything-goes cornucopia like 100 was.  Not necessarily PoE-era "classic Internet" again, but something with everyone bringing in their own special favorite reading and making a really friggin' big F+ episode together.  Maybe everyone could submit a reading and randomly draw someone else's to read?  That would be a lot of fun.

My rough idea for episode 300 that I was going to push on Lemon is that we should do f plus origins: stories that actually happened to you to get you into this crazy, but idk if everyone has fun stories they would like to share.

If they do then I strongly advocate this.

That's really weird. I mean it definitely is the most entry level content considering it's just bad writing and a weird personality without any of the ambient internet-weird going on (unless you count food bloggers as internet-weird, I consider them too tame to qualify) but it's not really representative of the general content. Maybe I just can't see it because I've never been normal and my jumping off point was someone telling me "hey go listen to this podcast they did an episode about roy orbison getting wrapped in clingfilm" and just went "oh yeah cool that sounds good"
