Even More Podcast Requests

Quid

I've got an annoyingly long commute ahead of me for a while and I really enjoy talk radio. However, my current line up of podcasts are insufficient for the roughly 50 minute commute. Was hoping for a few more suggestions to keep me from running out.

What I have and like: This American Life, Radio Lab, Planet Money

I also listen to PC Magazine on occasion when they're talking about a particular piece of tech I'm interested in but otherwise I tend to run out by about midweek at best.

Wiretap has the past 6 seasons available for download. You'll run out eventually, but they're good fun while they last.

If you're interested at all in tech podcasts, I recommend Cnet's Buzz Out Loud. It's an overview of Tech news, but it's fun to listen to. The hosts have good personalities, and usually have entertaining rants about whatevers going on. It's also daily, so you've got that going on. Also, Cnet's Reporters Roundtable is weekly, but they just pick a topic, and find people who are in that feild, and have them talk about it. Last week for example was over the guy who synthesized life and what that coule mean for us, before that it was what App Stores could do to software. Usually a pretty fascinating talk.

Do you like The Daily Show, John Oliver, or terrible puns? Listen to The Bugle. Hell, do it even if you don't.

The GiantBombCast is pretty good if you're in the videomagames.

here is what i've been listening to lately and i totally recommend

The Nerdist (hosted by Chris Hardwick)
Smodcast (with Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier)
Wizards of the Coast Penny Arcade D&D Podcast
Geronimo Jacksbeard (Lost Podcast hosted by Jorge Garcia, but i think its over and done with)

Fellhand

SmodCast, Tell 'em Steve-Dave and The History of Rome are my staples.
I haven't come across anything as polished and consistant as those three.

GenlyAi

I recommend The Memory Palace if you like TAL.

Herkimer

I enjoy the hell out of Slate's sports, culture, and political gabfests.

TychoCelchuuu

I find Philosophy Bites to be quite edifying.

Kyougu

The Gamespy Debriefing are a hilarious, entertaining train wreck of a pod cast.

if you are at interested in how computers and the internet work i would suggest security now. link. It can be a bit dry and boring at times but if you make it through their back catalog of shows you will know just about everything about how computer security works.

Skeptic's Guide to the Universe: Some current science news/events, interviews with interesting people, and a fair amount of laughs throughout.

I listen to podcasts a ton at work, so I have lots on hand at any time in case I get bored. I'll list mine - these are all available by searching itunes.

Best of the Left - shows posted two or three times a week that focuses around a current events theme (oil spill, economy, national security, etc.) and pulls clips from shows like the Rachel Maddow Show, the Young Turks, The Daily Show, and lots of other radio and TV shows. A good way to get a quick review and understanding of a topic from a liberal (aka factual) standpoint.

Current Geek - really short (8 to 15 minutes) show posted three or four times a week with two guys discussing something geeky in the news or on the internet. Always entertaining and geared towards more computer geeky, but sometimes branches out.

Dan Carlin's Hardcore History - fantastic history based show. The release schedule is incredibly barren (like one show every one or two months), but a fantastic retelling of ancient and modern day history - mostly related to war.

Filmspotting - the best film review show, podcast or elsewise, out there. They have a weekly show and actually got onto Chicago Public Radio as a result of their podcast (the cast is now their weekly show w/o breaks) because they're so good.

Hometown Tales Podcast - fantastic urban legends-type show with TONS of back episodes that will take a long time to get through. I pretty much just listen to the themed episodes (Ghost Trains, Tales of the Plague, Imposters - the themes are endless), but their standard episodes are fun too.

Horroretc Podcast - a couple of Canadians who are quite charming and love horror media, focusing on movies. These guys are polite, insightful, and have widely expanded my horror movie repertoire.

Ifanboy.com Pick of the Week Podcast - weekly comic show with three hosts that really have a ton of great chemistry. I've tried a ton of comic podcasts out there, not only can I actually stand this one, it's one of the podcasts I most look forward to every week.

The Moth Podcast - 10 to 15 minutes stories told live on stage without notes. That's the premise, and usually a new episodes is released every week. All stories are autobiographical, and some of them have celebrities - but most have authors and other important people.

MSNBC Rachel Maddow Show - I've loved Maddow for a long time, and they put up the audio of her show three or four times a week as a podcast. It's not fixed at all, so when she refers to a video or photo, you still have no idea what she's saying, but she's insightful, geeky, and most of all, entertaining.

Savage Love Podcast - Dan Savage of the love/sex advice column Savage Love answers voicemails from his audience about questions from all walks of sexual life. Extremely graphic sex advice, but damnit if Dan is not extraordinarily entertaining. Also has a huge back catalog.

Smodcast - also recommended if you can stand/like the entertainment styling of Kevin Smith.

That's pretty much it. I listen to more, but some of them are awfully niche shows. I'm a tabletop RPG and mini's gamer at heart, so pretty much the rest of what I listen to has to do with those hobbies.

INFO DUMP COMPLETE

Crimsonmonkey

I second Dan Carlin's Hardcore History if you are into historical events and interesting perspectives of the people in a given era

Also, his Common Sense podcast is really engaging and promises to make you angry no matter your political stance.

If you are looking for something more comedic, give the Adam Carolla podcast and Jordan Jesse, Go! a try.

These provide me with hours and hours each week, and they're all engaging:
- The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe
- Giant Bombcast
- Stuff You Missed in History Class
- Stuff You Should Know
- Adam Corolla (that mother fucker is prolific, seems like he has a new one every day)
- Doug Benson's Doug Loves Movies
- On The Page with Pilar Alessandra (screen writing)
- Anything Ghost (I like to listen to people's "paranormal experiences" and debunk them in my head)
- The Totally Rad Show (they cover movies, comics, and games - it's pretty funny at times)
- And it's rarely updated, but A Life Well Wasted. The content currently available is exquisite
- Rachel Maddow - even if her political views don't line up with yours, she practices real journalism and it's a breath of fresh air to see a news person conducting interviews in a truly gracious manner
