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.

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.

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'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 (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."

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.)

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 15 March 2019 00:14 (three months ago) Permalink

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.

― Stevolende, Friday, 15 March 2019 07:57 (three months ago) Permalink

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.

Tue Oct 23 2018 06:30:00 -

In December 2017 the famous porn star August Ames committed suicide in a park in the San Fernando Valley. It happened a day after she’d been the victim of a pile-on, via Twitter, by fellow porn professionals - punishment for her tweeting something deemed homophobic.
A month later, August’s husband, Kevin, asked writer Jon Ronson to tell the story of how Twitter bullying killed his wife. What neither Kevin nor Ronson realized was that Ronson would soon hear rumors and secrets hinting at a very different story - something mysterious and unexpected and terrible.
In The Last Days of August, Ronson unravels the never-before-told story of what caused this beloved 23-year-old actress’ untimely death. Coming to Audible January 4, 2019.

there's a great moment in the 4th ep of that Ronson podcast where this woman chews him out for being an exploitive vulture willing to use gossip + ill feelings + rumors + nastiness + prurience to make a titillating story and how it's ultimately irresponsible etc and it's just like "wow right on" and then he's like "well obviously I can't stop the story now."

― Mordy, Wednesday, 5 June 2019 18:16 (one week ago) Permalink

It's good that he keeps it in, especially in that form, because he's clearly questioning the whole project at that point, and the listener should too. When it turns out that the woman has an agenda and is not really playing fair, it's kind of a relief, and I wonder if he would have junked it if that weren't the case.

― mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Wednesday, 5 June 2019 19:02 (one week ago) Permalink

The whole thing is so toxic it's hard to know who benefits from the story being told. One worry is that it's Ronson who benefits. His tone sometimes makes me think of the last shot of Bowling for Columbine: Moore leaves the image of the girl at Charlton Heston's house and walks away all hunched shouldered with a 'more in sorrow than in anger' slouch. It's not quite sanctimony but it's in that zone.

if you didn't know that the porn industry has a number of unhappy damaged ppl in it you might find it educational. even the prurient aspects are so low key and low stakes ultimately for a story about a sex industry it's just normatively bleak.

I havent listened to Ronson’s podcast & prob won’t

the Rialto Report is a good interview podcast with stars & directors of porn of yore by 2 consultants from HBO’s The Deuce. It’s pretty good.

Can't imagine which would be more depressing, tales of '70s porn or tales of '10s porn.

American poetry podcasts that are good include VS (aka Versus) and Poetry Off The Shelf.

They mentioned it on a recent episode, I think it was a yacht or nyacht? Said they're doing ten more episodes so they hit 100 and then stop. Though they also hinted they'd do other things in the podcast format.

They’re up to 90 Y or N mini eps and they may hit 100 before their 100th episode proper
