Podcast rollcall
 

I listen almost exclusively to podcasts in my car these days. It's nice never having to listen to a radio commercial. Ever. Off the top of my head (because it's too fricken hot to go to my car and grab my iPod), these are the ones I subscribe to:

NPR: All Songs Considered
NPR: All Songs Considered Live Concerts
NPR: World Cafe
NPR: World Cafe Music Next
NPR: Second Stage
NPR: Today's Top Tune
NPR: Popculture
KCRW: Morning Becomes Eclectic
NPR: This American Life
NPR: Wait Wait Don't Tell Me
NPR: Sunday Puzzle
NPR: Michael Feldman's Whad'Ya Know?
KEXP: Song of the Day
KEXP: Music that Matters
KEXP: Live Concerts
KEXP: Sonarchy Radio
Indifeed: Alternative/Modern Rock
Indifeed: Electronica
Smodcast


I bet I'm forgetting one or two. Wow, it doesn't look like nearly that many in the tiny iTunes font. Of course, several of those are single-song podcasts or just a few minutes long. But it's more than a weeks' worth of listening so I never run out. And I get a lot of overlap musically between the different NPR music shows and the KEXP stuff. Which is nice. I get a chance to hear an artists' hit single a couple times, then maybe a 2nd track, then sometimes an interview with a live in-studio performance, then occasionally a recorded live concert.

But man do I hate when I wake up and realize I've forgotten to charge my iPod.

I have XM in my car, but I do listen to a couple of podcasts via iTunes at work:

MouseStation (I contribute to it as well)
Rachel Maddow (when I miss the daily Air America broadcast, which happens frequently)

I used to listen to podcasts primarily. I stopped along the line (perhaps when I was between iPods) but I used to really love Coverville and (duh) The MousePod.

Do these pod things come on CD?

I love Mark Kermode's weekly movie review show from BBC 5 Live.

I still listen to a bunch of Disney ones... (sigh)

It's been so long since I downloaded any new podcasts....or even posted one of my own (sigh).

I used to subscribe to a bunch of NPR and the much missed mousepod.

NPR: This American Life
The Animation Podcast
Stolen Moments
old Mousepods

You know, outside of our mousepod's past podcasts, I haven't listened to any other podcasts really. I should look into them and check 'em out.

I listen to GD's collection when we go places on weekends.

This Week in Tech roundtable discussion of the latest trends in high tech (weekly)
Windows Weekly: all things Microsoft (weekly)
Security Now: hot topics in security (weekly)
Skeptics Guide to the Universe: discussion of the latest topics from the world of büllshït from a scientific point of view (weekly)
Hot Gay Comics: interview show with mainstays and up-and-comers in today's gay stand-up comedy scene (weekly)
WotC's D&D Podcast: the official discussion of Dungeons & Dragons (monthly)
Downstage Center: in-depth interviews with the leading artists and professionals on Broadway (weekly)

After the Mousepod folded, I vowed never to listen to another podcast again.

!!!! You've listened to Stolen Moments?! :snap: Cool!

8-Track only

Oh yeah, the podcaster has a really sexy voice. ;)

I don't listen poscasts since the demise of the MousePod, but I do have a crapload of blogs I'm now reading.

I'm still hoping it's just a record breaking attempt at pod fade.

My commute isn't long enough to listen to podcasts, and I never seem to have the time to catch up so I haven't added any. If I did, it would probably be some NPR ones and maybe BBC.

I subscribe to:
Frommer's travel podcast (not sure if it's still going)
Official Lost podcast (I love Darlton!)

Me too!! Let the banjo playing commence! :D

I listen to
NPR: This American Life
NPR: Wait Wait Don't Tell Me
NPR: Driveway Moments
Smodcast
E! Online Answer Bitch
Official Lost Podcast

My favorites:

Wait Wait Don't Tell Me
Radio Lab
The Naked Scientists
The Dinner Party Download
gdgt Weekly (I don't always know what these guys are talking about but somehow they're good company on the way to work)

I've added a new Podcast. Only listened to one episode so far but it was enough to sell me - The Bugle. Produced by Times online of London, it's the Daily Show's John Oliver shooting the sh*t with fellow Brit comedian Andy Zaltzman. Funny stuff, refreshingly British, and having listened to Kevin Smith's Smodcast for so long it's a pleasant change to hear banter from a pair of comedians who aren't terminally retarded (not that I don't love Smith's brand of retardation, it's just a nice change of pace).

Digging this thread up after a conversation at the Oscar shorts viewing. Wow, my list has changed quite a bit. Mostly gotten shorter as I got uninterested in several of the music ones and added some other long-form ones.

Here's my new and improved list.

NPR Geekery
NPR: Sunday Puzzle
NPR: Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me
This American Life
WNYC's Radiolab

Music
NPR: All Songs Considered (wow, down to just one music podcast)

Comedy

Comedy Death-Ray Radio

CP and I are absolutely hooked on the comedy thing. There's a group of comedians that are just flooding the airwavespodwaves with hours and hours and hours of stupidly hilarious material. If you're a comedy fan (especially character/improv comedy ala Upright Citizens Brigade) I can't recommend Comedy Death-Ray Radio enough. It routinely leaves us in delightful pain.

Comedy Death Ray Radio!!! Listen to an episode with a comedian you enjoy to start you off and you will be hooked!

Great things about the comedy podcast boom:
1. It's free. No need to buy comedy albums, go see shows.
2. It's fresh. New stuff every week.
3. It's got many different faces. Some are straight interview style, some are free-form rambling, some are just people chatting, some involve games and participation, some are thought provoking, some are completely looney randomness...

A revolution is underway. There is a comedy podcast for YOU! :snap:

Ooh, Planet Money on NPR is continuing to surprise me with interesting stories on economic forces. Their coverage of the Middle East rebellions has been most illuminating.
