Anyone here listen to Podcasts? If so what do you listen to?

I personally am a huge fan of Radiolab. The production of the podcast is just amazing. They do a lot with sound and it makes for quite an enjoyable experience. Plus they touch on a lot of interesting subjects. I have laughed and I have also teared up while listening to this podcast.

Bill Burr has been an addiction of mine for some time! I listen every monday. Not exactly a "production" quality to it, just funny. I'm currently catching up on the Smodcast stuff. Loving Hollywood Babylon, Jay & Bob Get Old & Plus One. Christopher Titus podcast and just recently the C-Span one to keep up on political news.

Basically, all funny and one serious...and the serious one only comes out of one ear. Flippin annoying!

Hollywood Babylon ftw. garmy strong.

Nerdist with Chris Hardwick is pretty good, they just did an interview with Neil DeGrasse Tyson. But, it's mostly comedians being interviewed.

Others I listen to

WTF with Marc Maron (comedian giving serious interviews with other comedians) and How Did This Get Made (comedians give their take on shitty movies).

I curate the podcasts for Feedback Loop Netlabel and will be doing one for netlabelism.com v soon.

I dont listen to them as much as i should though

Giant Bombcast: I don't play video games anymore but I've been listening to these guys podcast since 2005 so I can't stop now.

Mike & Tom Eat Snacks: This is very hard to describe. It's a comedy podcast about snacks, but they take the snack rating seriously. And don't talk about snacks for half the show. It's hilarious and might be my favorite podcast now. Just listen to it. I'm a MATEy.

Star Talk: I have a boner for Neil deGrasse Tyson. And space.

The Non Prophets: Just in case you had forgotten that I'm a damn, dirty atheist.

Tweet Me Harder: No longer on the air, but it's great.


I think I'll check out Nerdist for my drive in today.

Giant Bombcast: Just a great group of guys talking about video games. It's like if you and your friends talked about games for 3 hours.

My Brother My Brother and Me: Three brothers (2 of which are journalists on Joystiq.com) in an hour long advice column type of podcast. They regularly take questions from Yahoo Answers. One of the funniest thing I've ever listened to.

[kingofthisnight]

I too am a fan of Giant Bombcast. I look forward to Wednesdays when I can listen to the latest episode and write some code.

[Evan Hennessey]

I have been listening to The Joe Rogan Experience alot lately. Not everyones cup of tea but some of the discussions are pretty good.

[daniel]

Really just listen to Nerdist with Chris Hardwick and WTF with Marc Maron now.

also, Nerdist has had some good guests on lately.
the newest episode is Billy West and John DiMaggio, so much riffing and going into the history of how they developed some of their notable character voices.
should be able to stream it on the nerdist website, def. worth listening.

RADIOLAB x10,000,000

Jesus what a good show.

My lineup has changed, mostly because I got the Downcast app and it's easier.

99% Invisible: short shows, ostensibly about architecture stuff but not really. A ~15 minute show about an interesting topic.

Giant Bombcast: I don't even play games anymore, but I just can't quit them.

Mike and Tom Eat Snacks: Ahoy, MATEYs.

NPR: All Songs Considered: Because I should listen to new music.

NPR: Ask Me Another: It's a quiz show and I like to feel smart.

The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe: Science! And skepticism. Fuck the Rebecca Watson haters.

The Skeptic's Guide 5X5: A short (5-10 minute) podcast about one aspect of science and skepticism. They've had some good ones about logical fallacies.

StarTalk: Because space is cool. It's not always the best but it has a lot of good stuff. If you watch Bob's Burgers, Eugene Mirman (Gene) is a regular cohost.

The Story Collider: Another short (10-15 minute) podcast where a person tells a story of how science affected their lives.

They Might Be Giants Podcast: If you don't like TMBG I don't want to be friends with you.

The Titanium Physicist's Podcast: I've only listened to one episode so far but it's fun. A panel of scientists explain a topic (like sun spots) to a layman (like Wondermark's David Malki !)

WNYC's Radiolab: Just listen to it. Now.

The Ricky Gervais Show.





oh and Hat Chat, but no one knows what that is.

Sigs, how are you still not listening to My Brother My Brother and Me?

Yeah, seriously. Come on now, man.

[robholding]

I don't really do the whole listening to a podcast whilst doing stuff thing, so I mainly just listen to the Rooster Teeth one whilst internetting/playing Football Manager...

rick moranis is on the nerdist podcast today

I've been listening to the Supreme Court Review podcast lately... gives a weekly summary of the court's latest decisions. Probably only of interest to law nerds though (but it's a pretty good source of info, especially since a lot of this stuff doesn't really get reported in the news very often)

[Sigafoos]

Nerrrrrrrd.

New favorite thing: Nerd Poker: Dungeons & Dragons with Brian Posehn and Friends.

[ZeppelinDT]

Anybody listen to Alec Baldwin's "Here's the Thing?" I've heard good things about it. Was listening to the Billy Joel episode at lunch today... seems promising so far.

[RabbitRan]

ContinueShow's ContinueCast is pretty fantastic
