Podcasts...Are You a Listener?

I really like Radiolab because they tell great stories about many topics from science to history and they do a good job at looking at things in a scientific manner.

I also used to really enjoy The Joe Rogan Experience, but he tends to get too preachy and it's the same thing over and over a lot of the time.

Startalk is great but Neil tends to be a bit too narcissistic for me occasionally. Don't get me wrong, I love the guy, but so does he.

I will definitely check out some of the ones posted here.

 

I am a bit of a voracious podcast listener. I got behind on them while I had a 6 minute commute, but I am caught up again now. My favorites:

Radiolab
This American Life
Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
Ask Me Another
Hidden Brain
Fresh Air
Death, Sex, and Money
The Longest Shortest Time
Planet Money
Stuff You Missed in History Class
Savage Lovecast (MY FAVORITE)
The Mortified Podcast
TED Radio Hour

I can't wait for Serial to have another season, and also can't wait for Invisibilia to come back. I occasionally will pick up an episode or two of the Diane Rehm show on the weekend (I check the feed weekly to see if something really interests me), and I got partway through Welcome to Nightvale before I realized it was putting me REALLY behind on the rest of them.

 

I like true crime podcast

 

The Moth Podcast (Stories of harrowing and interesting events told by those who lived it.)
MeatEater w/ Steven Rinella (Discussions about hunting and environment conservation issues)
Most Useful Podcast Ever (Essentially a Popular Mechanics magazine in a podcast)
Intelligence Squared U.S Debates (Experts from different fields debate political and philosophical issues; From abortion to global terrorism)
Black Man With A Gun Show (Reverend Ken Blanchard talks about firearm ownership, civil rights, and the issues that pertain to them)
The Joe Rogan Experience (Interesting guests but sometimes Joe gets a bit off task and preachy)
Monday Morning Podcast w/ Bill Burr (A funny guy gripes about sports and political correctness)

 

I just subscribed to a new one called the Rock N Roll Archaeology Project, an excavation and exploration of rock n roll and how it affected society.

 

I've always enjoyed This American Life, Fresh Air, and since being a little girl have loved old radio shows like The Black Museum starring Orson Welles -he was my first voice crush- also, X-1, and to some extent the Whistler.

These days though am listening to Within the Wires (creepyish sci-fi), but almost finished with that one.

About to start Alice Isn't Dead, The Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society, Lore, Radio Diaries, Sawbones, Welcome to Night Vale, as well as Sound and Vision.

What are you listening to?

 

THE JENNY MCCARTHY SHOW IS VERY INTERESTING

 

A slightly drunken conversation last night with a good friend ended with resolutions—and plans—for us to start a podcast together. I've been toying with the idea of running one for years now but was always stymied by the idea of doing it alone. Assuming he hasn't forgotten what we discussed, I think this could actually work, and work well.

If it gets off the ground, I'll let you all know.
