Your Favorite Podcasts

[Threadkiller [Classic]]

So ever since I got an iPod Nano (finally back in the Apple business after years of using my PSP and cell phone as mp3 players), and I've become addicted to podcasts.

In particular, ANYTHING from Howstuffworks.com. Especially Stuff You Missed In History Class and Stuff Mom Never Told You. There's some kind of law that all the women have to have the most ADORABLE voices. But besides that, the hosts are genuinely likable, and the shows are very informative and entertaining.

Also, NPR's StoryCorps and Fresh Air podcasts are great, even though they're just mp3 copies of the radio show segments.

And American Public Media's documentary series and, especially, their Dinner Party Download, which offers up jokes, cocktail recipes, small talk, and stories in one fifteen-minute bit that ensures you'll "win your next dinner party." I don't even have dinner parties and I adore the show.

So what are some of your favorite podcasts? Feel free to make some recommendations/recommendations-to-avoid.

Deadpit Radio from deadpit.com.

i'm a big horror nut, and these guys are great...they're not for everyone 'cause they're from kentucky and have THICK accents that some people make fun of, and they are VERY raunchy sometimes but they know their stuff.

i don't think i've ever heard someone mention a horror film that they haven't heard of if not seen already.

their show runs between 2 1/2 to 3 hours each week and has a very good format that 9 times out of 10 features an interview with someone in the horror community.

Others:
This American Life
Bill Moyer's Journal
The Carlsen/Boruff Untitled Film Review Podcast
The Moth Podcast
NPR's Planet Money

I tried out the nerdist podcast and have been enjoying it so far.

[Kruton]

RBR (Rocketbusta Radio) Weekly Wrestling Talk- 2 hours of hilarious in-depth discussion of wrestling from 4 charismatic hosts. I don't even watch wrestling and this is one of my favorite podcasts.

I'm also a fan of the Giant Bombcast and Talk Radar, video game podcasts from Giant Bomb and GamesRadar respectively, Smodcast which is Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier of Clerks fame basically bullshitting for an hour or two every week, and Wrestlecrap Radio.

[Thrillho]

Wrestlecrap Radio, Answer Me This, Distorted View, Phill & Phil's Perfect 10, Smodcast, The Onion, Nobody Likes Onions, Sarcastic Gamer, Friday Night Comedy from Radio 4*.


*On the weeks where it's The Now Show. I can't listen to The News Quiz since Sandi Toksvig sounds like a duck choking on Mozzerella.


I'm looking for something in another wrestling podcast. Something where they actually talk about wrestling, but in no way take it seriously. I tried listening to Brian & Vinny but it's way too SRS BSNESS for me, and I listened to Smart Wrestling Fan until Joe Negron decided "I have a podcast and I can shout louder than you so I'm always right"
