What do you listen to when playing?

[CMDR Rethalis]

Triggernometry on youtube.
Nothing like Space combat and Politics.

I like that program.

I'm on my 3rd run of the entirety of a TV show called Mock The Week (I'm a UK dweller) and will eventually go back to a podcast I know and like afterwards, I'm just curious as to what other people listen to whether it's music/podcasts/TV shows or whatever else

I guess this post also serves as a point for recommendations too because I'm slowly running out of stuff (bonus points if it's pro-trans or pro-LGBTQ+)

Radio 4 comedies, currently "Unspeakable" with Phil Wang and Susie Dent, "Strong Message Here" with Helen Lewis and Armando Ianucci, and "I'm Sorry I Hven't A Clue" with Jack Dee, Tony Hawks and others. All on BBC Sounds.

Old episodes of "Round The Horne" on Radio 4 Extra (obviousy LGBTQ-friendly given Hugh Paddick and Kenneth William's presence and ground-breaking Polari work) and Elis James and John Robins' show on BBC Radio 5 Live (as BBC Sounds podcasts).

I like that program.

Its one in a library of political pod casts that i follow.
Triggernometry are impressive. Solid conversations, held in good faith.

 

[Pville_Piper]

For the long hauling sessions, "Youtube, play the vintage country trucking songs"

Same here...

 

[Trippyhippy]

Audiobooks mainly.
The Merry Band of Pirates atm.

 

[Rat Catcher]

I listen to the game.

 

[oblivionmanman 2476]

audio books as well,bbc radio 4 plays,and of course ZOMBIE type books,often a sci fi story.

 

[DrakeAurum]

Usually various actual play RPG podcasts and the occasional audiobook. Sometimes I'll have a YouTube show running on a tablet below the monitors.

Soundproofing is a thing. Just sayin'.

 

[Aris Tarkus]

Typically one of two things: ambient space music on low in the background, or a good late-night (or other time) space talk or conspiracy radio broadcast/podcast.

If it gets too loud back there, remember: vacuum is the best sound isolator

It better be quiet, or it gets the hose again.

Tbh I like it, they can be quite creative...

'I can introduce you to Aisling Duval!'
'I'll make you rich beyond your wildest dreams'
'please stop pumping onionhead into the brig ventilation system'
Etc

'I'll make you rich beyond your wildest dreams'

"Sure, sure you can, hun. Now hold on, I've yet another 3 billion surplus credits I need to transfer to my carrier fund. Leftover change after buying and A-rating five Panther Clippers, see. Have 20 years of carrier overheads paid up front, but a few more years can't hurt, right? Might buy up some real estate at Achenar later—though they say the planets are not up for sale I believe it's just a question of negotiating the right price, as always.

"Ahh, that Thargoid war shebang and the community goals turn out quite profitable, indeed. It's really hard to figure out where to invest all that cash! The reps at Zaonce warned me that I'm about to hit the limit on my bank account soon if I don't figure out how to spend all these billions—can you believe that? Outrageous!"

 

[Desirsar]

The same thing I listen to any other time, surf rock, rockabilly, psychobilly, a playlist of everything Guns N' Roses, a playlist of everything Muse, or anything with Jack White.

 

[Cmdr. Numa]

The wife moaning, "you playing that bloody game again"

Make her a co pilot or wingman, problem solved.

If I listen to anything extra while flying, it's usually Radio Metal.

 

[Paul_Crowther]

I listen to my TTRPG playlists, which is all well and good until my "Ominous suspense" tracks come on whilst I am all alone in the middle of nothingness...

 

[Helmut Grokenberger]

This explains a lot.
