Having never listened to a podcast, I got really into the Serial podcast craze. Now I need more! So far friends have recommended. ‘The Guardian Long Read’,Radio 4’s ‘From our own correspondent’, and the ‘Freakonomics’ podcasts. Anyone else got any favourites?

Velo club don Logan (VCDL) was my fave, covers road and mtb. Sadler no longer broadcasting, old episodes are well worth a listen, even an interview with Chipps!

Bike shop show is good for spannering, a shame it’s American.

Yet to find a decent mountain bike one though.

History of the world in 100 objects
Infinite monkey cage

The memory palace is good

I’ve found lots of very interesting ones from the British Library (link)

The bugle, radio 4 Friday night comedy, pod of funk (now ceased), John Cleese podcast used to be pretty good.

That’s some of the podcasts I listen to daily at work so i can avoid talking to the slack jawed muppets around me

This is gonna sound like a **** question but how do I listen to all these podcasts??

Most of them will be available through iTunes and can be downloaded and played on your computer or phone – or google the shows and they can usually either be played or steamed from their own website – or the case of BBC stuff via iPlayer

Cheers bud will try a few out

if you have a smartphone then subscribe using a podcast client, I use the podcast Republic app on my android phone. If you want to listen on a pc I suppose you could install iTunes and subscribe / play them on that. I’m sure there are other alternative clients.
Once you’ve subscribed the general plan is that your client will automatically download new episodes whenever they are released.

The whole Desert Island Discs back catalogue are on Podcast I think

I’ll second A History of the World in 100 Objects and 99% Invisible. Both ace.

Night Vale Radio is often really good, funny horror. If you’re interested in videogames, A Life Well Wasted is excellent too, though there can be years between episodes.

I’ll second A History of the World in 100 Objects and 99% Invisible. Both ace.

AHOTWin100O is great, but…. the music drives me up the fricking wall and I couldn’t bear to listen to the whole series in the end

Another vote for RHLSTP (as all the cool kids are calling it)

you’re so much better than last weeks audience

Thanks guys, lots to filter through 😀

Nextmen one is good but they haven’t done any new ones in a while
The Joe Rogan one is interesting, depending on who they have on
I didn’t know Doug Stanhope had one, I’ll check it out.

Don’t forget the Friday night comedy podcast (bbc). Always liked the JBST SMART training podcast too but they are pretty infrequent these days.

Others have said them already, but..

Another shout for the Infinite Monkey Cage. Although it’s BBC, it’s funded by the Open University, which means that the old episodes don’t vanish from iPlayer after 7 days.

Also, Friday Night Comedy (mostly for the ‘Now Show’) is ace.

‘Sasquatch Chronicles’

I love those mountain voices lulling me to sleep with soporific tales of their alleged encounters with mythical man-beasts in the wilds. I’m not even being sarcastic, I both enjoy it and enjoy the deep sleep that it produces. Most comforting. There must be a deep-seated psychological reason why bigfoot captures the human imagination so.
