What podcasts do you listen to?

Just discovering the joys of podcasts to help while away the endless hours of commuting by car 🙁

Found a few cycling ones but they seem a bit beardy, or american. Any suggestions for something UK-MTB oriented, or some comedy, or summink, very much appreciated.

(ps only got the ipod for xmas, still learning the ropes)

I hate Russell Brand on the telly, I am put off by his stupid face and hair and clothes….

…but his radio shows with Matt Morgan are brilliant. Download them from here:

If you like Ricky Gervais, his back catalogue of XFM shows & podcasts are here:

There’s an STW podcast isn’t there?

I subscribe to:

Stephen Fry’s podgrams
The Bike Show (Jack Thurston on Resonance FM – might be a bit beardy for you)
Fighting Talk (BBC 5 Live)
Mark Kermode/Simon Mayo film reviews (BBC 5 Live)
Guardian Book Week
Albums You Should Hear (BBC 6 Music)
Front Row Highlights (BBC Radio 4)

Do I listen to them all? No. That’s because Mrs North is forever pinching *my* ipod.

I’d also love to get some other suggestions from people.

Take a look at:
Animal Commencal
Charge Bikes
MBUK Doddcast
Fox Racing Shox
Singletrack magazine (of course)
iBikeRide
Dirty Little Secrets
(all for biking)

and some personal favourites for a laugh:
Cobra Podcast with danny wallace and dom joly
Danny Wallace XFM podcast
Jimmy Carr
Stephen Fry’s Podgrams

All available by searching via itunes.

Enjoy.

‘Stuff you should know’ is very good
includes such gems as
‘how redheads work’
‘Where’s the best place on your body to get shot’
‘what can be done with a dead body’

Recomending podcasts is like letting someone look through your bookshelf:

Traces of Nuts
Answer Me This Podcast
Scott Sigler
Friday Night Comedy from the BBC

I also like
Collings and Herring

did he tell you it was his most important race?

Nobody likes onions is funny and 10th wonder podcast thats a heroes one.

If you like football James Richardson’s guardian podcasts are great imo.

I also like Stuart Maconie’s Freak Zone.

im listening to the ricky gervais/stephen merchant and carl pilkington back catalogue from xfm and podcasts,
they are so funny 😀
carl is a genius and idiot all rolled onto one

Cycling podscasts:

The Fredcast
The Spokesmen

Done by the same guy. The first one is US biased, the second is a round table discussion of world wide cycling issues.

Non Cycling:

Scott Sigler – brilliant weekly(ish) instalments of audio novels that he writes himself. Very, very good indeed.

Try http://www.kaflooey.com – comedy and music

Another vote for Collings and Herrin here!

Keith and the Girl. Very funny.

the stretlife DJ’s is a good music one, but not sure its still running, but the back catalogue is still worth listening to.

Oh and the ninja tunes solid steel podcast is fantastic.
