Hopefully he'll keep it up.
Listening to podcasts at work is better than listening to the same twenty prerecorded CDs our college radio station broadcasts over summer break.

Also Probe ministries ( http://www.probe.org/ ) does a pretty good and informative talk show about various topics in Christianity or society.
There some okay science ones like "Science and Society"
I've also found a few language ones. Depending on which language you want to learn you can search through itunes store directory. I got one called "HESS Chinese survial guide."

I've decided to utilise the full functional capacity of mypod. At the momment only listening to those available via itunes. Currently sampling:
Radio4's Best of Today Amnesty International NPR's It's All Politics Newsweek New York Times Op-Ed Slate Rob Da Bank's Sunday Best The Onion Ricky Gervais
These all fairly obvious. Can anyone offer me anything a bit more off-beat and esoteric? Not that I am either of those things but i might like to be.

i like radio lab a lot. very sound rich, but doesn't come out very often (probably b/c the quality is so good).
― sweet tater, Monday, 20 August 2007 18:07 (sixteen years ago) link
I listen to:
Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me! (NPR panel show about the week's news) The Paul Goebel Show (beat the geeks tv nerd talks about tv and says funny things) Fighting Talk (BBC 5 sports panel show... I like panel shows, what can I say?) Escapepod (Sci-fi short stories read to me! Yum!) Hooting Yard (Cool prose, I think? I dunno, I love it but I don't get it)
That's it for now. I am sure I will listen to more as time passes though, I keep adding to it.

I listen to all the standard NPR ones (Wait Wait, Fresh Air, TAL), the Elvis Mitchell show on KCRW, the Harry Shearer show on KCRW, the Design and Architecture show on KCRW, Sound Opinions (laugh it up, rock snobs), and a couple DJ shows of friends.

Jeez, I'm crabby today. I sound like Harry Shearer! Who, not incidentally, is also off my love list. "Curmudgeon" is a great-sounding word until you find yourself listening to the opinions of one. :(

for all-talk, I started this thread a while ago, and there's some good recommends there.
Your favorite podcasts, non-music edition
I'm still happy with The Bugle, even though the jokes stop being novel after a few eps, but John Oliver is always good with the nearly outraged "omg this is ridiculous!" tone of delivery, and Andy Zaltzman on a good week still comes up with solid-gold chunk of absurdity. Something about the Archbishop of Canterbury conducting a funeral and launching into some weird tirade making fun of the corpse... "You're dead and you know you are!" I laughed for like a week. Your mileage may vary.
Actually, On The Media is probably the show I look most forward to every week. Make of that what you will. And though it depends on the featured DJ (Don Letts clearly needs a swift and mighty kick in the groin and to be hauled off the radio with a giant vaudevillian hook), I do like the fabric podcast. It's mostly Brits deeply appreciating the American soul and funk records that us yanks take for granted and have mostly forgotten about.
― kenan, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 02:47 (fifteen years ago) link
If you like John Oliver and Andy Zaltzman you should try and find their BBC radio show, The Department.
― Ed, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 05:53 (fifteen years ago) link
kenan I'm listening to On The Media's most recent show now, they're interviewing this guy and I am actually seeing red.

actually? LITERALLY?!
(A friend and I have now taken to inserting the word "figuratively" anywhere that someone might be tempted to misuse the word "literally." As in, "Jeez traffic is so slow. It's figuratively going to take us all day to get there!")

anyone got any good shit i should hear?
my interests:
history, general story american life type stuff, books and especially 20th century modernist type stuff, music i won't have heard, jazz or experimental or really anything at all, maybe comedy if it's good, plus ANYTHING ELSE.
have basically never really got into podcasts properly. been subscribing to some of the recommended ones upthread tho.

i gasped when the former member of act up's treatment action group were trying to block the accelerated release of the protease inhibitor triple cocktail. really interesting on the sociology of activism/science/medical ethics. i was largely ignorant of this history so a lot of it was major twists. fav episode probably the bath houses one tho
veg is thereany season you would recommend listening to next? should i start with slow burn?
― flopson, Monday, 13 November 2023 08:02 (seven months ago) link
The Iran Contra season of Fiasco is really good. Slow Burn is great too though, you really cant go wrong with either
― werewolves of laudanum (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 13 November 2023 15:58 (seven months ago) link
I will second Slow Burn -- although I stick to the seasons rather than the "decoder" eps. the season about Clarence Thomas told me everything I didn't know about that guy and explained everything

I discovered Tooth & Claw: True Stories of Animal Attacks over winter break and have been ear-hoovering up as many episodes as I can. Led by a Yellowstone wildlife biologist who specializes in bears, it goes into detail about dangerous wild animal encounters, while providing a respectful context for why these things occur, as well as a slew of biological and behavioral facts about the animals. Warning that it can get sad at times, because by the very nature of the stories they're engaging with, the humans and animals don't always survive. It's co-hosted by the biologist's brother, who provides a dorky kind of comic relief, and a mutual friend of theirs. The brother's voice reminds me a lot of Matt Stone's character from Cannibal: The Musical, but he's more of an affable dork than an annoying one. Highly recommend.

new season of Blindspot is covering lesser-known stories & people from the early days of the AIDS Crisis & it is so goodThis season hosted by Kai Wright of WNYC3 episodes out so far, second episode on the Harlem Hospital Pediatric Ward is quietly incredible Similarites might be drawn to the Slow Burn season on AIDS but this is a much much deeper dive, much more focused on marginalized groups whose stories were less likely to be told
