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.
