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?

The Rock n Roll Geek show.
Plays mostly the kind of rock that's not fashionabl;e at the moment plus some punk stuff but mostly talks. He's a really genuine guy and the honesty of it, the lack of shiny gloss bullshit makes it great.

i can't follow the rapid-fire german enough to understand like, any single entire sentence, but annik rubens' podcast show sounds really entertaining.

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.

― Super Cub (Debito), Thursday, 4 August 2005 11:42 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

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

I can't go a single day without someone saying "podcasting" but I can't find a single podcast worth listening to.

― mikef (mfleming), Thursday, 4 August 2005 23:14 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

there are plenty of excellent podcasts, but im having a hard time finding good non-music programs. the two im subscribed to havent been updated in months

― fe zaffe (fezaffe), Thursday, 4 August 2005 23:35 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

Exactly. Of the six I posted above, I think only three are still being updated. A lot of them seem to give up once they realise it's not going to make them the next John Peel.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 5 August 2005 02:27 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

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.

― teeny (teeny), Friday, 5 August 2005 16:46 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

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 )

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.

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 (thirteen 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 (thirteen 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."

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'm really REALLY late to this but I'm finally making my way through Mike Duncan's "Revolutions" and it's fantastic. It's so hard to make a solo podcast interesting, especially with such dense historical material, but he has an incredible knack for making it digestible and entertaining without dumbing anything down, while never getting on your nerves even if you listen for hours at a time. Not so easy!

― wayne trotsky (Simon H.), Thursday, 15 November 2018 18:35 (one month ago) Permalink

New Pocketcasts doesn't separate unwatched/downloaded episodes from the rest of them, that's a dealbreaker.

― louise ck (milo z), Thursday, 15 November 2018 20:37 (one month ago) Permalink

the only interesting new feature is the ability to look at your listening history, which is kind of staggering

― President Keyes, Friday, 16 November 2018 13:50 (one month ago) Permalink

ok, revolutions is good. i couldn't get into his rome podcast. he's very much "and then what happened was... and then what happened was..." narrative style, and for something as uninteresting to me as rome that's a real slog. but the content is more interesting to me here.

My mistake, these are two different episodes, but I like the style of this pod and will come back for more

I've been enjoying We're Just Here to Help, which is political roundup with humor. One host grew up in Russia and the other in Iran, so they have lots of insights into totaliatarianism, how it grows and functions and so on

If you're at all interested in the music business Andrew Loog Oldham's Sounds and Vision has been quite juicy through four episodes so far

literary history

I'd like to find more podcasts on this. I listen to Literature and History (so far he's covered from Sumerian cuneiform texts up to Roman literature) and Literary Hangover (fairly new podcast, American lit from a leftist perspective.)

There are several others I've heard of but haven't dived into:
The Canon Ball (reading through Harold Bloom's Western Canon list)
The History of Literature
American Writers One Hundred Pages at a Time

― President Keyes, Thursday, 6 December 2018 14:44 (one week ago) Permalink

The Canon Ball is very good (nb I know the guys who make it).

― Daniel_Rf, Thursday, 6 December 2018 16:22 (one week ago) Permalink

Backlisted is a good literature podcast, albeit it's less about critical acumen and more about thralldom. It's good for discovering things that have slipped out of print, been ignored etc. All relative to your knowledge of literature, of course.
