Podcasts

[Geoff G.o.B]

Ok I listen to my podcasts when I walk too and from work, its about 30 mins each way. The trouble is I'm up to date with Rico's great podcast so one episode only lasts me one day. I'm also listening to Discovery Channel podcasts, Matts Today in History and Military History podcast, but again thats probably another 2 days worth max. Can anyone suggest any other podcasts that may be worth a listen to fill in my time between my weekly Scifi & Trek fix?


cheers  :cylon

Yea, I could use some new ones too.  Ones that are at least weekly.  I'm on listening to Treksf and a WOW podcast.  But the wow podcast is barely twice a month.  Pretty sad.  So if anyone could suggest anything.

Have you tried "The Instance" for a good WOW podcast.  Here are some others I listen to:

Extralife Radio - good, geeky fun
Jawbone Radio - fun show about a married couple
PC Gamer Podcast
Star Wars Action News
TWIT - This Week in Tech
Slice of SciFi

Been trying a few others out lately to find a good comic book cast.  I really liked Comicology but Neil who does that show hasn't done a new one since July.  There's a lot of great stuff out there.  I tend to like the ones more done by regular folks, not the pros in the field.  But some of those are ok too.

[Geekyfanboy]

Yeah those are some good ones.... here are a few more I listen too.

For Firefly/Serenity
- Firefly Talk
- The Signal

For Farscape
- Scapecast

For Harry Potter
- Pottercast

Ok Jen put the mp3 player down and back away slowly, that's just way too many for one person to listen to.

seriously though thanks guys, theres a couple there I wan to try, must admit I want to try the extralife just because I've heard the trailer on yours Rico and I love the music clip.

well the night tis dark and the land is still, I must away to my bed, for on the morrow we do battle the villanous South Africans at that noblest of Sports rugby (you know football without the girlie armour! ooh the letters I'll get now)

I shall leave you with this parting thought

If you can laugh in the face of adversity....you probably didn't understand the question  :old_bash:

I am really enjoying the heroes in science fiction and fantasy podcast with Doc.  It's like a bunch of research on different movies and tv stuff.  I enjoy it a lot.

here is the url http://www.heroesofsciencefictionandfantasy.com/  It comes out weekly. 
My walk to work is 60 minutes, so it is just perfect for that.

I also listen to slice of sci fi sometimes, and occasionly I will listen to extralife.

When Lost is on the air, the official ABC podcast with Matt and Damon is really good.

Yeah, but they update their shows at different times of the week and I listen while I work...So I don't have a "problem per se", just a need to tune out the noise in my office and occupy my mind while I design. Don't forget Duffster's podcast: Read More Sci-Fi. Like my cast, I don't think it's  on iTunes yet, but you can download his shows on his web site.

Have you tried "The Instance" for a good WOW podcast.  Here are some others I listen to:

Yea, I've tried the instance, but they don't release very often...*sigh* I guess the good ones just don't release very often.  The Tavern cast podcast is no longer a WOW one which kinda sucks....oh well

King Linksr

[Rico]

Don't release very often??  The Instance comes out every week.  I think they just missed last week (for one of the rare misses) because one of the hosts was out of town.  But Scott and Randy are very regular with the show.  You can look at the show notes from all the episodes for them at www.theinstance.net  They are up to show #83 (one just came out yesterday).

[billybob476]

Podcast fans are a fickle bunch, Scott and Randy miss one week and now they "don't release very often". Don't miss a week of Treks in Sci Fi Rico, we may all run!

:)

If you're not limiting yourself to sci-fi and anime related podcasts, I have a few to recommend.

If you don't listen to them on the radio, or are busy during the hours they're on:
-Car Talk
-NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me! weekly news quiz
-This American Life

They're about an hour each, so if you have a big chunk of time, they're ideal.

Also, there is the podcast version of Dan Savage's weekly sex advice column "Savage Love." Callers leave messages for him over the week, and then he responds through the podcast. Usually pretty funny.
