I'm looking for good podcasts, and podcast sites. I feel I missed out on a trend here.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 4 April 2005 08:06 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

radio 4's "in our time" is podcast every week. although i haven't actually got round to podcasting it, i just download the mp3 every week.

i would like some good podcasts, too, though.

― toby (tsg20), Monday, 4 April 2005 09:05 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

Okay, I just started my own podcast: http://www.biglittleg.com/blog/wp-rss2.php. It's a first try, so be nice. I'm going to try to do this once a week.

Of course, I'm looking for suggestions for other podcasts as well.

I've downloaded that, I'll listen on the way to work tomorrow.

Is a podcast like an mp3 mix or something? I haven't been following this.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 4 April 2005 16:29 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

Basically it's a radio show or mix distributed on mp3. I thought it was a bit of a daft name really, but it's become very popular and not just for music, there seems to be some speech out there too.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 4 April 2005 16:34 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

Podcasts can be pretty much anything, from straightforward music to talk to art to, well, wherever you want to go with it. Try http://www.ipodder.org or http://www.podcastalley.com for more. Not strictly for ipods or the like, but they're darn convenient that way.

― Guymauve (Guymauve), Monday, 4 April 2005 16:36 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

Another couple good places to find podcasts are at PocastHost.com, or PodcastAlley.com. PodcastAlley uses a "rating system", and PodcastHost has a searchable database and aggregated text, right on the site.

Grab iPodderX Lite. It'll just grab the feed when you subscribe. I'm still in the trial (and error) stage with it, but it seems to work for people. Word Press is sometimes a bit fiddly with these things (and I'm using a non-WP template which makes XML a problem to read sometimes). A new one up Sunday.

― Guymauve (Guymauve), Monday, 4 April 2005 17:12 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

This actually looks like it would be kind of fun to do, as my friends are permanently in need of Taste Correction and this would allow me to save somewhat on CDRs. But isn't bandwidth kind of prohibitively expensive? I mean, you're basically serving a gigantic MP3, right?

I've now made 14 podcasts, ranging from 30 minutes to an hour, in locations from Macau and Japan to Lisbon, Edinburgh and New York. Basically, everywhere I go (and I'm lucky enough to travel a lot) I mumble into an old Fujifilm F601 and make a new radio programme documenting the sounds and atmospheres of where I am.

No. Podcasting is one of the most disappointing memes of the decade, along with "war chalking"

I just got my husband set up with this stuff--got him a little flash-based mp3 player he can take to the gym after he syncs up his shows. I put ipodder on his computer and subscribed him to Al Franken's show on Air America and NPR's On The Media--he's a big talk radio fan. So I can't really speak to any music stuff, haven't played around with it enough.

This one by Digiki has been getting some press recently, despite only having one installment so far: http://www.maudevintage.com/castellane/digiki/polypunk/polyfeed.xml ( actual file is http://www.maudevintage.com/castellane/digiki/polypunk/POLYPUNK001.mp3 )

So what makes for a good podcast? And when would you listen to it? I've been tempted to do one, just to see how it would work, but I have no idea what it is that makes people download these things. And I believe that Tombot might have a point up there, that more people are probably producing these things than listening to them.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Friday, 30 September 2005 22:17 (twelve years ago) Permalink

Hmm, I guess anything that makes audio compelling for an extended period of time: a charismatic personality, a narrative, a bunch of good songs, etc.

Listen to them... in the car? On the subway? It's basically surrogate radio for an iPod. Not so exciting, but still useful.

― Confounded (Confounded), Friday, 30 September 2005 22:23 (twelve years ago) Permalink

If you like sermons, there are many churches that put out their weekly sunday sermons. At the itunes store just scroll through the list of religious ones. I occasionally listen to Ref. Pres. Theological Seminary or Tenth Presbyterian Church.

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."

Thanks again for this rec man alive.

Out of the list of participants, I only knew Mark Shippy and Tim Stine but I've buzzed through about 4 of them and they are very enjoyable, the format is really strong too.

I feel that Ben doesn't need to add in those curious, stuttering edits, at first I thought he was maybe using them as chapter markings or ways of getting from one part of a conversation to another but they seem kinda arbitrary.

I tried this but man, it's hard to listen to. It sounds like they're recording on a phone and talking over the music in the room...I usually don't care about sound quality that much, but that's rough. A cheap mixer and a couple cheap mics would probably do wonders.

I tried this again, cherrypicking episodes from some of my favorite drummers. Each one that I listened to felt like it could have been any podcaster interviewing these drummers, Chris Hardwick or whoever, rather than a drummer sitting down with another drummer and really going in. Joe Wong's approach to interviewing is very general, asking questions like "so what was it like when your band got big?" I guess I would be more interested in hearing more specifically about playing and technique and gear.

I guess I would be more interested in hearing more specifically about playing and technique and gear.
as a non-drummer, the non-gear / technique stuff is what I like about the trap set — I think he's pretty good at drawing out interesting ideas/stories from people. like the drummer from earth wind and fire talking about conspiracy theories last week, haha.

― tylerw, Monday, 9 April 2018 18:01 (four months ago) Permalink

He specifically wants to avoid drum nerd conversations, it really is about "the lives of drummers" and not actually about drumming. The bonus episodes usually have those gear and recording questions that everyone wants to know though (or thinks they do, often there's not actually that much to say about technique and gear, although I do love studio stories).

xp that one sure took a turn!

Empire on Blood was one of the best in class. It pulls the Serial trick of having putting its most tragic/compelling twist in the first episode (heartbreaking!) but it stays strong throughout and doesn't meander, and sticks the landing, too.

alternating between storytelling episodes mainly based around growing up in the 90s underground/indie scene in smallish town america with music focussed episodes looking at the history of various strands of underground weirdness. it's a little hard to explain simply, but everyone i've got to check it out has loved it.

Occasional mid-90s indie rock content confirmed. His stories about drugging in India are pretty wild. Most episodes seem to feature one or more acid trips afaict.
