What is your Favorite Podcasts?
I wanna know
|
I listen to Buzz Out Loud from CNet. Tech news. Good cast that works well together. I also watch a video podcast Around the Net. Some smoking hot fems as host. I'd tell you their names, but I really don't pay attention to their names.
|
Escape Pod
Flash TV NFL Rants and Raves Pseudopod Scott Sigler novels Trail Tapes Mountain Bike Videos Voices of Tomorrow |
I like NPR's All Song's Considered. The host has different musicians on as guest DJs, and they also broadcast concerts and seasonal music previews. I've picked up a lot of good stuff from that podcast.
I also like KCRW's The Treatment. The host used to be a New York Times movie critic. He has on different people in the movie industry. Sometimes the guests are lame so the show sucks, but when he has a good guest on its worth listening to because he's a good interviewer. |
I only really listen to the USC marching band podcast.

Most of mine are videogame related:
1Up Yours & Games for Windows podcasts are ABSOLUTE MUSTS, as is the video cast 1Up Show. It sounds sad, but I legitimately look forward to those podcasts. EGM Live Retronauts Game Theory Player One Gamespots the Hotspot OXM podcast Sound Opinions Downloadable Content: Penny Arcade podcast What's New Now Buzz out Loud And then vidcasts like Diggnation, DL.TV, Cranky Geeks |
Lets hear em.
Please give a brief description about each one you post. Thanks. |
It's the Bombcast y'all.
|
The only two that I check out with any frequency are:
The Adam Carolla Podcast BS Report - Bill Simmons |
So Far I've subscribed to a few LOST podcasts and some Chargers ones.
Right now I'm listening to The BS Report (Bill Simmons) and they've been talking about Gilbert Arenas for 30 minutes...I hope they talk about something else soon...oh hey as we speak he made a Norv Turner reference (I guess he's talking about the Redskins now, yes!) I've heard the Adam Corrola is good, but don't know what it is about. I also downloaded one called Around The Net from G4TV, I'm assuming that its viral videos. |
Firstly, I have to give a shoutout to Out of the Game
4Guys1up (formerly 1up Yours) Retronauts (1up's retro-gaming podcast) Sports Anomaly (1up sports game podcast) Giant Bombcast The Geekbox RebelFM I also listen to all of the podcasts on the Adam Carolla Entertainment Network: The Adam Carolla podcast Carcast Ace on the House Sportscast with Spider and the Henchman The PTI podcast The BS Report I Love Movies Dan Carlin's Hardcore History Radiolab This American Life WTF with Marc Maron |
Quote:
Similar to his column, the BS Report can get a bit in depth on some topics which are often NBA related during the season. If that isn't your thing, it's not that difficult to figure out which segments/podcasts to skip. |
Is Out Of The Game yours?
Is it about rap music? |
No on both counts.
It's a general media podcast. Books, movies, games, etc. done by former games journalists. I edit it together and recommend the music. And one other podcast recommendation: A Life Well Wasted. Incredible. |

|
I've listened to almost every Carolla podcast.
The best are the ones with Simmons (one from February, March, and June), the Deaf Frat Guy, Seth McFarlane, Andy Dick and Joel McHale. The guys he gets along with well allow him to really riff and go on extended rants. |
I listen to the Real Deal (CNET) and RadioLab from time to time. If I could connect my Touch to my car radio I'd consume much more Podcast material.

Joe Rogan is an expert on psilocybin.

First podcast, cold open with a Whole Foods bit. See if you can follow; Their food is shit and organic food is worse than regular food, but I wanted some, but it's too expensive because Whole Foods' CEO is a libertarian **** who wants poor people to die and starve. And people should have a right to that shitty organic/delicious nutritious organic without having to pay what the price tag says, so I went in there to buy some obscure alternative sweetener [Stevia?], but when I saw all those blissed out yuppies I said why should I pay for things I want to consume so I stole it. I walked out with it in my hands without paying for it. And I suggest all my listeners stick it to that asshole CEO of theirs and go steal something from your local Whole Foods, because they don't support people getting whatever they want for free, so **** them. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__jFgOqdirR...ant_medium.jpg Maron: 'I'm so 'counter' that I disagree with myself 1000 times in a single sentence.' |

Even more refreshing, was Janeane Garafolo admitting she's very blessed that people find her entertaining to the extent that she earns a living from it because she's 'not very smart' [her words, no shit] and utterly incapable of doing what 'normal people' do to earn a living [cooking, accounting, secretary work, auto repair, what have you]. |
Fitzdog is on FIRE today. On his own podcast and subbing for Corolla while Corolla films his sitcom pilot.

My favorite one is "The Lost podcast with Jay and Jack".

the only podcasts I listen to are...
Adam Carolla Bill Burr's Monday morning podcast |

Since my last post, I've added a few podcasts to my rotation: WFMU's The Best Show with Tom Scharpling. The radio show has been going for quite a while, but it wasn't until I heard Scharpling's & Paul F Tompkins' dissection of the Gathering of the Juggalos (skip to 1 hour 27 minutes) that I became a fan. Comedy Death Ray Radio, which is hosted by Scott Aukerman, who you might know from Mr. Show. I've also been listening to Chris Hardwick's The Nerdist podcast, but it's a bit uneven. |
Carolla is smokin' today. Had Bob Zmuda on, talking about Jim Carrey landing the Kaufman part.
Wasn't even in the running at the start, Zmuda and Foreman wanted Nic Cage. Thought Carrey was the 'talking butt' guy and they wanted to make a serious film. Carrey bugged and bugged Zmuda to take a look at his audition tape. Invites him over to the manse. Zmuda gets there, and Carrey has Kaufman bits from SNL on the TV. Carrey tells him he needs to go get the tape and leaves him there. Comes back 15 minutes later with a bag, turns out it's empty. Carrey then asks, how'd you like my audition? Turns out it wasn't Kaufman on SNL, but Carrey 'playing' Kaufman on SNL. And Kaufman's best friend couldn't even tell the difference. His mind blown Zmuda heads home, when he gets there, there's already messages from Foreman and DeVito asking 'WTF? how could you give the job to Carrey?' Carrey had already sent couriered messages to them telling them that Zmuda had given his nod to him. Next day, they all called back to apologize 'Holy shit, we saw the tape.' Cut to opening night, Cage is at the premiere. Zmuda mentioned how they really wanted him, and asked why Cage had never indicated his interest. Turns out Carrey had told Cage 'Dude, guys of our profile, we don't go around making audition tapes. They know us, they know what we can do. etc. etc.' |
Podcasts 'all growed up' today;
Carolla has Alec Baldwin, Maron has Robin Williams. |
I sometimes listen to BBC History Magazine podcasts. It's basically what you think it would be. A host will interview some author who wrote a piece for the magazine - British history, some American. Stuff like reasons why the Vikings may have invaded Britain, World War I food rations, etc. I link to them from learnoutloud.com where it lists archived episodes with brief descriptions.

It's a repeat, but the latest 'This American Life' which is their live show from last year is amazing. Particularly Dan Savage's tear inducing tale of trying to believe.
http://www.thisamericanlife.org/site...=379&podcast=1 |
Joe Rogan's livestream and podcast are funny. Basically, he and his manager/friend Brian get really high and discuss topics. Common guests are Ari "The Amazing Racist", and Eddie Bravo. They usually dip into Joe's greatest passions: Weed, Psychadelics, and MMA, but its always interesting.

Mine :) I got it set up on my website, and you can subscribe to it via iTunes by searching for "FitExcellence."
Here's the latest episode. http://tinyurl.com/27gokxb |

Just got clued in to The Nerdist. Funny funny stuff. Hosted by Chris Hardwick of Singled Out and Web Soup [G4's little brother to Talk Soup/The Soup].
Got clued into it by a reference to Hardwick interviewing Alison Brie in the comments of an article announcing Brie was cast in the next Scream movie, went to the podcast in ITunes and it's 'listeners also liked' blurb had most of my current casts [Carolla, Fiztdog, Maron] Had a live show with Adam Savage of Mythbusters where Adam was talking about the creation of Envision. The host made a crack about 'too bad they didn't envision the global market crash' to crickets . . . "Aaaand Health Care. . . Rape and Crib Death, goodnight ladies and gentlemen." ROFL ROFL - nice recovery Also had Adam talking about his days at ILM, and particularly to FX guys anticipating getting their marching orders on 'fightin' Yoda' they get the screenplay and it says, simply 'Yoda fights in a manner that is indescribable. . . FUUUuuUuuuuuuuuu ROFL Adam also advises, Star Wars Eps 2 and 3 can be salvaged [not 1, nothing can salvage 1] by setting your DVD to French with subtitles. A big plus is Hardwick's facility with voices, he has the 'didactic nerd voice' a passable cockney, a good aussie, and one of my favorite schticks [employed by the likes of Oswalt and Cross, the 'booming songster singing about the present topic' voice [think Cross' 'Henderson Valley Eggs, YOU'RE GONNA LOVE OUR EGGS!!!!'] |
Anyone else fascinated with tallying up how many cigarettes Kevin lights up every Smodcast? I hear the flint of his lighter at least 6-7 times every 'cast.
EDIT to add: OK, maybe not cigarettes every time. |
Going to be on the road for 22 hours in the next 3 days. I usually listen to Opie and Anthony on XM, but I cancelled my sub.
Anything new or specific cant-miss podcast episodes from the ones previously mentioned? |
Not enough love for Comedy Death Ray Radio in here.
|
Quote:
I can't get enough of them, I've listened to them all at least 4 times each, they're amazing. PS With respect to the cigarettes/weed, it's not that he's lighting a new one every time, it's that he's talked for so long it goes out and he needs to re-light. Make It So: A Star Trek podcast is pretty effin hilarious for the Trek fans out there, and Movies You Should See is also good if you look past the fact that they rarely talk about the movies (Which I find more fun, frankly). |
Quote:
Star Wars Episode 2 cannot be salvaged. Episode 3 MAYBE I could see it, working, the story is a little bit better. Though still STUPIDLY flimsy. |

Tales from the Spacepod
Three guys pick a supernatural topic and share their personal experiences and crack jokes about them, usually to go off on tangents that delves into other areas of pop culture. It's a fairly short podcast with eps lasting only about 50 min., and they are fairly new with only 5 episodes released in the past month. So far they've covered Bigfoot, Aliens, Ghosts, Shadowpeople, and Chupacabra. I recommend giving them a listen. |
Quote:
Hands down, my favorite show (which is available in podcast form) is The Best Show on WFMU. Three hours of mirth, music and mayhem. The best thing I can do to recommend the show is to point to The Best Show Gems, which are usually calls from Jon Wurster in character. |
Two new, and quite strong, offerings.
Hollywood Babble On - part of SmodNation, Kevin Smith and Ralph Garmin [Carolla's long time friend and former roomate, now part of McFarlane's voice group [Family Guy, Cleveland Show] dish on the industry. And, I'm all atwitter just mentioning. The Pod F. Tompcast. Brilliant, just brilliant. I can listen perpetually as PFT pulls side-splitting comedy out of thin air on the strength of his tone of voice. His running bit where he plays Andrew Lloyd Webber trying to round up talent for the greatest stage production mankind has ever witnessed was particularly great. Thus far, he's recruited Ice-T and John C. Reilly. Should also mention, not as balls out funny, as it's 'historical,' Jay and Silent Bob Get Old, where Smith and Mewes recount Mewes' journey from smack addiction to recovery. They recount it lightheartedly, and chuckle about some of the ****ups Mewes hung out with throughout the years, but it's dark at times as well, understandable as Mewes was full-on junkie when Smith was in the process of starting a marriage and later raising a toddler, then kid, then tween. |
Holy Shit that was out of nowhere.
Knew Katie Morgan was trying to mainstream herself, what with the HBO specials and all, had no idea Kevin Smith was the world's laziest matchmaker. Jim Jackman is a guy who's been in a few small parts here and that clear back to the mid-80s. And as Kev got into the Hollywood scene, they've struck up a bit of a friendship. Enough that he was hanging around Pittsburgh while Kev was making Zach and Miri, enough that he was hanging out with Katie [cast in the movie], enough that they smoka' tha' herb now and then, enough that they've been MARRIED for a year. And now, it appears Katie and Kev's wife Schwalbach are good friends, and Jim and Katie volunteer for Kev's charity roller hockey team, and if Kev's various allusions and mutterings are correctly interpreted Katie will soon be hosting a regular podcast on Smod. World's collide. . . http://www.flickr.com/photos/motionb...7732/lightbox/ pic of Jim, Katie and Kev at the roller hockey event. |
The nerdist is my favorite, there were alot of things when I do my standup that I didn't have words to describe what was going on. Like how people have mainstream acts like Leno, then they have alt acts like (whatever alt acts are big right now) because I had a guy go before me the other day and do a bit about How hot his soup was at dave and buster and I go on with "I don't know who named this the 12th annual softball chili cookoff, it should have been named the 1st annual lesbian fartoff" and just random shit.

Oh, and if the term podcast is ever made against the law, I think they should call them 'yeahyeahyeahs'
Don't think I've heard one yet where someone hasn't said that at least once. The Smodcast should already be called that. That or 'and whatnot' |

Mash this up with the nostaglia thread, Hardwick's Nerdist theme always gives me the warm fuzzies, and I wasn't even a little bit of a PC gamer as a kid.

I like the nerdist alot, but I get so fired up listening to it because it is right in wheel house. I will be checking those other out.

Guy on the Nerdist had a bit that reminded me of here. Talking about how, at the time of Michael Jackson's death, the fanpage for Red Lobster's Cheddar Biscuits became ground zero for mourning fans. Just pages of people reminiscing about Michael, then an occasional person not in the know posting about how awesome Red Lobster Cheddar Biscuits are, then people admonishing him that 'now is not the time.'
ROFL ROFL |
hahaha..nine eleven happened I was on here saying how Trich needs more touches

Maron killing with Dave Foley. The industry stuf was meh, but then Dave gets into his nightmare relationships. I'll spoiler the details b/c it's really better heard firsthand.
Nice recovery from going full dickhead with Gallagher.
Spoiler!

Adam Carolla channeling my Id today re: Tavis Smiley.

DP [and anyone else who likes good 'casting], if you haven't heard Hardwick nerd out with Wesley Crusher, do so now. Not so much for the funny, though there were a number of wisecracks, but for the stories and the history. In case you were unaware [though surely you can't be] Chris and Wil were childhood friends and roommates in their 20s. Never was a Trekkie, so I barely know anything about Wil Wheaton, but you can feel the affection between the two.
Probably the best podcast I've heard in a while, from anyone, and I'm not always the biggest Nerdist fan [especially since he's gone guestless once a week]. |
i have it ready to go.
|
Lately I've been listening to Joe Rogan Experience, Smartest man in the world, How did this get made, Doug loves movies, WTF, and Fitzdog radio. All of those are pretty funny. I heard Marc Maron on Air America a long time ago and hated it. I have to give Marc credit, the guy puts together the best interviews. the most recent WTF was an interview with Carl Labove. The entire interview was about Sam Kinison and his life, Labove's relationship with Kinison and Maron, and all the crazy shit they did BITD. this was an inside story that i have wanted to hear for 20 years.
|
I started listening to "The History of Rome" They're very good if you're interested in Roman history.
http://thehistoryofrome.typepad.com/ |
I didn't know wesley's last name. I kept on looking for Wesley Crushlers name on the list of podcasts on nerdist.com. It is a good listen. The qubert joke was funny. Nerdy ryde or die.

Nobody who is so goofily, geekily enthusiastic about reminiscing with a friend can be all bad. |
Yeah he seemed like a good dude, the Butter bit was probably alot funnier to him than me. Although the joke when he was like My dad is handsome, but at this time he was wearing baggy pants with a rat tail. Kevin goes....you are desribing a handsome man! Like Renegades cousin in the episode where they go to venice beach. That was pretty funny.

I was just reminded, but here's a heck of a trivia question, what is the most direct connection between Groundhog Day, oversized suits, and OK Computer?
For those who know exactly what I'm talking about, feel free to lay out the entire story, saving me the keystrokes. A video clue, for the uninitiated; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvYHmCMAqLQ&sns=em |
Holy schnikes, Smod coming from Lawrence KS, circa 1994.
Introducing no-funding cinema. Gawd Kevin sounds like a child. [orally, not contentwise] |
Went way back, based on a recommendation over at AVClub, but it didn't disappoint.
Tompkins and Sharpling dissect the Gathering of the Juggalos. Perhaps the most straight up funny 20 minutes or so I've heard this year, anywhere. http://wfmu.org/flashplayer.php?vers...&archive=54334 EDIT: Here's right to the meat of it. http://files.dropbox.com/u/280367/be...r_juggalos.mp3 For those who might not know how apocryphal this bit is, it was the direct inspiration for SNL's Kickspit Dirt Festival Commercial. I seriously don't know what's funniest, the reveals [which I won't spoil, but the highlights were the reveal that someone who looks like someone they were JUST making fun of is there too, and the Fresh Comedy lineup], or when Sharpling and Tompkins just descend into laughing uncontrollably at the mess going on around them. EDIT AGAIN: listening again, the funniest is clear, the name of the place where you can get your grub on with Violent J. |
