2024.05.21 15:17 MsMaybelline Missing Channels
Can I watch channels like Fox News or Fox Business without using the app on my Roku? We also have cable. We had it on one Roku but not the other, now neither have it. It was in my regular channel lineup just like on our non-Roku devices and matched our cable channels plus all the Live TV channels. (I don't want to use the Fox News App, it's a PIA). TIA

2024.05.21 15:01 kjmichaels r/ Fantasy's Top Podcasts - Results
It's here! The results for the 2024
Fantasy Top Podcasts Poll have been tabulated and we have the results! Before we share those results with you, a quick preamble about participation and how we categorized the podcasts. The
original voting thread can be found here.
Participation In total, 77 people participated in this poll and cast a total of 360 votes for 183 podcasts. That's a big uptick from the
last time this poll was undertaken but not as much participation as we'd hoped. The vote spread was remarkably similar to last time but as we suspected, the popular podcasts have changed wildly. For instance, Writing Excuses was the most popular podcast last time with 16 votes and this time it only received one vote.
Only 2 podcast votes were disqualified: 1 for not seeming to be a podcast (not found on any podcast app and it did not describe itself as a podcast on its YouTube channel) and the other was only available on a website that my antivirus software wouldn't let me go to so I couldn't confirm anything about it.
Breakdown There were 7 main categories of podcast:
- Discussion - for general podcasts where hosts talk about shared interests. This could include news, book discussion, readalongs/watchalongs, lore analysis, and so on. This is the category most people tend to think of when you say "podcast." Readalongs/watchalongs are specifically called out in the list due to their participatory nature.
- Fiction - for podcasts where previously published stories are read aloud often by their author usually without sound effects.
- Audio Drama - podcasts where stories are performed by actors as plays with sound effects. Not everything in this category is is specifically a drama. Some are comedies but audio drama appears to be the catch all term for any story performed for audio.
- TTRPG - a catch all for anything D&D related including actual plays and similar games like Pathfinder.
- Writing - podcasts on writing advice, story creation, and the like.
- Folklore/Mythology - somewhere between Fiction and Discussion, these podcasts bounced between reading, discussion, and history of real world myths and folklore often by people who are experts in their field. This felt different enough from Discussion and Fiction to single out since it did not fit neatly in either.
- Improv - there were a number of podcasts where comedians improvised stories in a fantasy or sci fi world. It wasn't quite fiction and it wasn't quite audio drama so it got its own category.
Fiction and Audio Drama are definitely the blurriest categories. In general, I counted something as audio drama if it had multiple actors and sound effects. This meant that stuff like Night Vale, which is arguably an audio drama, was counted as a fiction podcast since it doesn't have these elements. This decision was partially informed by Night Vale calling itself a fiction podcast instead of an audio drama which helped me figure out where to draw the line using Night Vale as a boundary marker. However this also means that delineations between Audio Dramas and Fiction may not be consistent as I did defer to podcast descriptions if they described themselves as Fiction or Audio Drama.
Our most popular podcast categories in order of most to least popular were:
- Audio Drama - 62 podcasts Discussion - 62 (17 of the discussion podcasts were watchalongs or readalongs)
- Fiction - 24
- TTRPG - 21
- Folklore/Mythology - 4 Writing - 4
- Improv - 3
The Results
To save space, only podcasts that received 3 or more votes are displayed in the table below. Podcasts with only one or two votes can still be seen in our
Fantasy Top Podcasts of 2024 Google Sheet.
Miscellaneous Info - The most highly voted Discussion podcast is a tie between Alzabo Soup (which is about the books of Gene Wolfe), Green Team of the Legendarium, Imaginary Worlds, and Intentionally Blank.
- The most highly voted Audio Drama (as well as most highly voted podcast overall) is the Magnus Archives.
- The most highly voted TTRPG podcast is The Adventure Zone.
- The most highly voted Fiction podcast is Welcome to Night Vale.
- The most highly voted Writing podcast is Worldbuilding for Masochists.
- The most highly voted Improv podcast is Mission to Zyxx (not displayed above because it only got 2 votes).
- The most highly voted Folklore/Mythology podcast is Lore (not displayed above because it only got 2 votes).
- On average, users voted for 4.7 podcasts per comment.
- 60% of the list is composed of podcasts that received only 1 vote.
Closing Thoughts So that's the poll. What are your thoughts on the rankings? Are you surprised any specific podcasts didn't make the list?

2024.05.21 14:04 HotSarcasm $ANVS: Annovis Announces New Publication in a Peer-Reviewed Journal
MALVERN, Pa., May 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Annovis Bio, Inc. (NYSE: ANVS) (“Annovis” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage drug platform company developing novel therapies for neurodegenerative diseases, announced the publication of a new article focused on the comparison of pharmacokinetic profiles of Posiphen (or buntanetap) across different species in a peer-reviewed journal
Biomolecules as part of the Special Issue: Role of Amyloid Protein in Neurological Diseases.
“This publication is a testament to many years of research at Annovis. While we have conducted numerous studies to advance our Posiphen pipeline, this is the first systematic and comprehensive comparison in multiple animal and human samples," says Maria Maccecchini, Ph.D., Founder, President, and CEO of Annovis. "Consolidating all this data into one publication offers a more holistic view of Posiphen, enhancing our understanding of its mechanisms.”
Title: Comparative Analysis of Posiphen Pharmacokinetics across Different Species—Similar Absorption and Metabolism in Mouse, Rat, Dog and Human
Summary: This article synthesizes findings from various preclinical and clinical studies on Posiphen's absorption and metabolism from mice, rats, dogs, and humans. The aim was to better understand the differences in the drug’s pharmacokinetic behavior, identify which animal models most closely mimic human responses, and explore the potential clinical implications of these variations.
Key highlights: - Posiphen quickly reaches peak concentration in plasma, followed by high absorption in the brain and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
- Posiphen metabolizes into two primary metabolites: N1-norposiphen and N8-norposiphen.
- Both Posiphen and its metabolites exhibit rapid clearance in animal models and human subjects; however, in the CSF or the brain, the drug stays longer.
- Posiphen's absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion are similar in healthy volunteers and patients with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.
The article can be found on the journal’s website via the link.
