Recommend me some podcasts…

Morning. I’m refreshing my itunes stable of podcasts. I’m currently enjoying Thinking Allowed, Real Peloton, Velo Club Don Logan, Infinite Monkey Cage, Freakonomics amongst others.

I’ve tried a few – Fighting Talk I didn’t get on with. I’ussy on theve yet to find a funny one that wasn’t equal parts annoying and funny. Music ones (BBC esp) seem only to be able to give you 10secs of each song, which defeats the object.

Any gems that you can suggest? Not particularly fussed on subject matter, more that it’s well put-together and entertaining. Thanks 😀

PS I tried ‘The Best of Chris Moyles’, but the link was empty. Chortle.

Collings and Herrin [sic] and AIOTM – entertaining but not exactly well put-together

My eldest swears by “the Bugle”

Mayo and Kermodes film review.

+1 for Mayo and Kermode

Big fan of Fighting Talk but we are all different.

I also enjoyed the Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes (of Clerks fame)podcasts. Concentrates on their story from when they made Clerks and Jason Mewes drug problems. Stopped listening after they got up to the present day. You might also find some from the Stand comedy club, they released some last summer around the time of the festival.

check out “the two iohns” podcast for road/cross based drivel.

Rhod Gilbert’s Best Bits
Phil and Phill
Collings & Herrin
Adam and Joe (who will be back soon 🙂 )

“We’re Alive” Zombie survival story podcast.

“Jim & Eddie Talikin Shit” is brutal, dirty, very sweary and very funny.
It’s comedians Jim Jefferies & Eddie Ifft.

I’m a Radio 4 junkie –
Friday night comedy podcast
In business
More or less
Analysis
Infinate Monkey Cage

Also – try ‘The Moth’ short stories from live stand up shows in the states – some real gems in there

+1 for more or less.

Above and Beyond – Trance around the world (TATW)

If you like dance music!

Collings and Herrin is great. It’s a bit like listening to your mates in the pub. But generally better. But it’s not slick. And generally a pretty low-fi recording.

Collins and Herring is also good. That’s their BBC approved version.

Mayo and Kermode
Football Weekly from the Guardian
Answer Me This
Used to love Adam and Joe’s 6Music one but it’s not on at the mo.
Marsha Meets – interviews with lots of stand-up comics

Not into Fighting Talk at all.

+1 for the Kevin Smith/Jason Mewes – Jay and Silent Bob get old, and also the Kevin Smith/Jen Schwalbach – Plus One (Prenups are for Pussies) Podcast,

Try smodcast.com if you like the Kevin Smith stuff.

Joy of 6 – round up of music interviews on 6music
Guardian Music Weekly – music interviews and reviews

John B podcast.

I subscribe to:

Above and Beyond – Trance Around The World (TATW)
Radio 4 – Friday Night Comedy Podcast
Radio 1 – Mini Mix

+1 For the Smodcast stuff, especially Tell ’em Steve Dave – although it may be an acquired taste

If you like sci fi stuff then check out Scott Siglers podcasts. he’s released almost all his novels in 30 min weekly chunks via podcast. I can’t stick listening to audiobooks as I get bored, but the once a week model is great. Like the old radio serials the old uns used to listen to on the wireless I guess

If you like tech\geek stuff then the guys over at Frogpants studios are worth checking out(flimsack is v good at the moment). Twit.TV has a few good ones as well on various subjects
