I thought it might be interesting to share any other podcasts people listen to on a regular basis. For my part, most of them are technical in nature, but still fun. Here are the ones I particularly recommend:


This Week in Tech. A weekly roundup, from the wonderful http://www.twit.tv

Macbreak Weekly (from the same people)

Windows Weekly (from the same people)

Escape Pod. A weekly SF short story, variable but normally good. http://escapepod.org/

Buzz Out Loud. Daily tech roundup. http://reviews.cnet.com/8300-11455_7-10.html

Mark Kermode's film reviews, from BBC Radio 5. Wonderful, particularly when Mark gets on a rant. http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/entertainment/kermode.shtml

Folkcast, monthly folk/folk-rock/singer-songwriter podcast. http://www.folkcast.co.uk

Magnatune podcasts: There are a bunch of these, pick your music style. I listen to the folk, ambient, and space music ones. http://www.magnatune.com/podcasts/

There are a few others but these are the best ones.

Anyone else?

Oh yeah that's a particular fave podcast of mine - from Ikea Knightley to "Hello Jason Isaacs" :rofl: If anyone wants to know more movie podcasts (or financial ones for that matter), ask me and I'll dig out info from Big D who has played me some of his personal faves which I've enjoyed, names escape me now.

If you want something a bit more... risque :w00t: I've always been a fan of Dan Savage's "Savage Love" sex advice column, and I've just been told it's in podcast form now (haven't listened but I'm sure it's filthy and funny as feck :D )

I thought I'd mention a new podcast, "podcastle", that had its first episode earlier this week (on April 1, but it's no joke!). For anyone that enjoys fantasy fiction, this is a weekly dose of well read short stories. The first one, "Come Lady Death", was a corker. http://podcastle.org/

There are also many podcasts from NPR (National Public Radio - USA) and well worth a listen. News & Arts etc... A favourite of mine is "This American Life" http://www.thislife.org/Radio_Podcast.aspx (I lived in the US for 7 years so it's not so foregin to me)
