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

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 (fourteen 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 (fourteen 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 (fourteen 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 (fourteen 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 (fourteen 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?

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

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.

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 )

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."

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.

Guys a podcast I have been working on for literally almost a year comes out tomorrow. It feels like much of that time was spent convincing various people I work with not to can it. I'm very very proud of it but it is pretty... unusual ("weird" is the word I keep hearing) and I would love it if each and every person reading this goes and rates it/subscribes etc.

All six episodes drop tomorrow.

I just finished listening and will certainly rate and review. I didn’t really know of Keith Olbermann before but I found him extremely likeable. I would love if there was another series! I think there were a lot of great underlying questions about why people even form friendships and what makes a connection genuine or possible.

― alrakis morissette (tangenttangent), Monday, 11 March 2019 18:34 (one month ago) Permalink

i commissioned it and acted basically as as the "exec". i am also the voice at the end of each episode!

Really glad to hear the positive reactions. It is an unusual beast and after working on something for so long it can be hard to know how it will sound to someone coming to it fresh.

Odd I saw discussion of Olberman a couple of years ago on UK left-wing twitter (as a kind of not very good version of liberal Alex Jones type) and its odd to see this now - will listen and see how this shapes up.

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 11 March 2019 23:14 (one month ago) Permalink

The last I saw of Keith was a piece of political commentary in which he presented 8 reasons why Trump would soon be removed from office. That was late '17 :(

Like Olbermann, as few can craft a diatribe like him. His problem is that he's preaching to a choir, and his kind of rhetoric is for a time more people are willing to die or kill for their beliefs. Its tiresome in all but the smallest doses.

Yeah I aim to keep my listening to a certain slew of things that pace out just enough that I can enjoy listening to them without feeling like I'm either always catching up or feeling obligated. (One big reason why I wanted to aim for our podcast to be monthly -- makes much more sense in terms of the subject matter but also won't cause anyone to feel like too much of a backlog if they miss an episode or two.)

Irish History Podcast which is 9 years old this week and took me way too long to actually get to hear. I know the presenter from the Shell2Sea camp and he references the area in one of the shows I listened to.
I guess I just haven't listened to podcasts much until recently. & part of the reason I started listening is losing the USB connection on the side of my TV meaning I can't set up watching dl/ded tv and film stuff as easily as before Xmas.

So mainly been listening to Msnbc shows as podcasts as well as Mueller She Wrote, Pod Save America,Trumpcast then last night started listening to a few other areas one on medieval travel, another on Greek Myths and one on risk assessment using the Roanoke colony as an example.

Per history, Mike Duncan's History of Rome is a massive endeavor and one that has served what I felt podcasting has always flirted with but never quite succeeds in allowing: That I, the listener, walked away having felt a better person. Often I find myself a more enriched person, but most the knowledge is so secular or so strangely low-spectrum aspergers that I often wonder to myself whether my head is maybe filled to too much of a capacity of oddball facts that don't rate me above a child who points out a license plate being from Elsewhere.

Anyways, his length on the French Revolution is truly hitting a stride. Revolutions podcast. That's the name.

Fashion fans, I also enjoy "The Memory of... with John Galliano" , which is basically him delivering his justifications for his latest design choices with Maison Margiela. He's smart, his mannerisms and speaking style kind of amuses me kind of makes me unenthusiastic to listen to the next podcast, but it's actually a real treat to listen to an episode prior to viewing a season's collection. You gain a better understanding of the massive amounts of context designers put into clothing. Often an oversight, for better or worse against ideas of the medium.

I've been listening to Jon Ronson's latest - The Last Days of Autumn. I generally really like him but there's something that niggles me, a sort of disconnect between his anxious, forgiving persona and the topics he explores. Which is fine when it's Alex Jones, but when it's about the more vulnerable I don't know: the presentation can seem a bit disingenuous. This might well turn out to be more about me than about him and the disconnect is ultimately his greatest strength as a journalist. Does including the 'this is making me really anxious' stuff and acknowledging that his intrusions are dangerous make the thing more authentic and justifiable?

Anyway, I'm babbling. Short version: I'm finding it very affecting, which is why I'm interrogating myself and my assumptions.
