iTunes Podcasts
What do you guys subscribe to/listen to?
I just figured out how to do this with my music too so I should be getting up on iTunes by the end of the month hopefully. That's for another post.  Right now i'm subbed under the electronic music section to a couple of shows. "A state of trance" "Above & Beyond" etc... Just wondering if anyone had suggestions for other genres of podcast to check on? |

I listen to one music podcast Radio Three Sixty ACC ("Music for Strange Moments" a mix of chillout/lounge/ambient) that is hit or miss, most are news and comedy.

I'm on the hunt for more, but the only one I subscribe to now is Bill Burr's Monday Morning Podcast. Funniest comedian out there.

Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier's Smodcast is an absolute must for any even remote Kevin Smith fan. It is by far his greatest work.
I used to listen to the WoW Insider Show but they recently changed hosts and it somehow lost it's charm. For my wow fix I am currently listening to the instance. I also listen to Filmsack. Both are produced by Scott Johnson who is the guy behind Extra Life. I listen to the DND pdocast when it features the penny arcade and pvp cartoonists playing a campaign. And finally I listen to The Movielicious because Patrick is awesome. |

I also started to listen to Writing Excuses by Brandon Sanderson, Howard Tayler, and Dan Wells. It's a podcast both highly entertaining and informative, as they cover many aspects of fiction writing on the backdrop of sci-fi, fantasy, and horror. Despite the genre slant, though, there are many generally great writing tips. They really seem to know their stuff, and are hilarious in that lovable geeky sort of way.

Okay, I just started listening to The Tolkien Professor podcast. I just finished with the intro podcast and it's already blowing my mind.
The podcast is by a professor of medieval literature who has been a huge Tolkien fan since he was a kid. It's essentially a series of lectures that examines the works of Tolkien, while keeping the author's intentions in mind. In other words, this is the next best thing to taking an actual college course on Tolkien. Letters and other materials written by Tolkien are used to support the idea of approaching the works by focusing on the stories themselves, rather than taking biographical (author-centric) or allegorical (i.e. about World War 2) approach, or sifting through and dissecting them to find all the source materials: his stories were generally meant to evoke history and how it applies to who we are even today. He meant for us to take them in as a whole and enjoy them as the stories they are. But don't take my word for it, listen at least to the introduction and hear it for yourself. The Tolkien Professor on iTunes What I also like about this guy is that he provides an interesting defense of fantasy as "real/serious" literature via Tolkien's views on the subject. So if you are a fan of fantasy or sci-fi, that in itself makes the introduction at least worth a listen. Enjoy.

I'm a die-hard NPR buff. Their "Most E-Mailed Stories" podcast is an excellent way to hear the interesting tidbits without getting just-the-facts news you've already read. I'm also a fan of "This American Life" and "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me."

I'm a devotee of the series of Slate.com podcasts that are released throughout the week, especially the Political Gabfest and Hang Up and Listen, the sports podcast. They're nicely conversational, and make me feel smarter as I'm walking the dogs.
I've been listening to the Adam Corolla podcast for a while now, too. I was never a giant fan of his, but he's finally found a medium that fits him PERFECTLY. Really entertaining. |
