Pimp your Podcast

[thebitterguy]

BTW, now that I have an up to date iTunes version and a good machine, anyone care to pimp a podcast in my direction?

Your own, or one you just enjoy a lot.

TBG, Out!

I've never listened to his podcasts (or any podcasts, for that matter), but he's on my Friends List 'cause he's a friendly, geeky guy, so it might be entertaining.

[thebitterguy]

Where does he keep them? I couldn't find anything on his website, and his LJ is FO.

[granolademonic.livejournal.com]

Oh crap, I didn't realize it was FO. I'll ask him for a link.

[drewmg.livejournal.com]

Howdy.

Thanks to Monte for pointing me your way. The podcast I do with my girlfriend is at http://www.plusdrewminuskelly.com

We're just getting started, and I honestly have no feel for whether or not we're any good at it, but please feel free to check it out and give some feedback, positive or negative.

As far as other podcasts go, most of what I listen to is mainly chit-chat type shows. I don't really listen to many tech or music shows, because if I want tech or music advice, I'll just surf the net. That said, here's a short list of the podcasts I listen to on a regular basis:

http://www.dawnanddrew.com - probably the first couple of podcasting. They talk about themselves for 24 minutes a day. Pretty cool community over at their website.

http://www.thetwistedpickle.com - a dude in omaha, ne sits at his computer and talks about his family. The catch is that his wife doesn't know he does the show, and if she ever finds out, he could be in deep shit.

http://www.topofthepods.com - rob and job (two british guys) read off completely random top 10 lists and give their commentary on each one. Pretty entertaining.

http://www.gabberjaw.com - another couplecast. this one is a couple from chicago who talk about their daily lives and also discuss the headlines.

http://www.naughtykarate.com - yet another couplecast, but this one is just odd. Kyle and Jamie are the hosts, and they are probably two of the funniest podcasts I've ever heard. It takes awhile to get into, but Naughty Karate is one of my must listens.

[thebitterguy]

Cool, thanks for all those. Gonna take some time to listen into them.

I really like Dragon's Landing http://www.dragonslanding.com/dli/

They are avalible on iTunes and are about gaming!

[thebitterguy]

Oh, excellent.

Here's my current listening list:
• Garrison Keillor's Writer's Almanac
• Board Games with Scott (very silly, but Scott does a good visual presentation of german-style boardgames)
• Durham 3 (interesting format, sometimes a bit too "in-crowd-ish", but occasionally has interesting discussion of rolegames)
• Ebert & Roeper (skipping at the moment while Ebert is off recuperating, as Roeper is the irritating "bad cop" of the pair in my opinion)
• Have Games, Will Travel (Paul does some good reviews and interviews)
• Sons of Kryos (sometimes, again, a bit "in-crowd-ish", but generally very thoughtful talk about rolegaming)
• The Basketball Jones (from the T-dot, very very well produced bball cast)
• The Dice Tower (good survey of german-style boardgaming, but sometimes the manner and attittudes of the presenters are irritating)
• the show with zefrank (an interesting project that's recently been running out of steam)
• The Spiel (has some good features and talk about german-style boardgames, but they tend not to be too discriminating, or perhaps it's just that they have very different taste from mine?)
• Tiki Bar TV (what video podcasting is for; even if you don't make or drink mixed drinks; very well produced, well written, and at times deeply amusing in its silliness)

[thebitterguy]

Cool. Do you have an URl for Ebert or Keillor?

[rentagurkha.livejournal.com]

The major gaming podcast I listen to is Sons of Kryos: http://www.sonsofkryos.com/

[thebitterguy]

Cool. Sounds interesting so far.

Decoder Ring Theater

[thebitterguy]

Earl?

[eddyfate.livejournal.com]

http://decoderring.libsyn.com/

(Had to go look it up again.)

Pulp-style radio programs done in 2006. A little campy at times, but still very entertaining.

[thebitterguy]

Thansk! That sounds pretty cool. Are they set in modern days, or olden days?

[eddyfate.livejournal.com]

I've only listened to a couple, but I believe the 40s/50s.

[ketronic.livejournal.com]

This is the podcast belonging to a friend of mine...

The guys over at http://www.theMovieBlog.com do a weekly round table "Audio Edition" on Monday nights. I have to warn you if coarse language and potty humour bother you then pass this by.

The standard round table cast consists of:
- John Campea - owner of TMB
- Doug Nagy - Hamilton Comedian (language warning)
- Darren Conley - Linguistics Student
- Bruxy Cavey - Hippy Christian Minister and Author

Its a strange mix to see Doug, a crude language driven comedian athiest and Bruxy, Pastor of one of the Biggest Churches in Ontario at the same podcast.

I do a fair bit of writing for the Movie Blog, and may someday soon make an appearance of my own there.

[thebitterguy]

I think I can handle potty humour and coarse language. Cool, I'll check it out.

Try MeteorGeek at www.geekshow.us It's a podcast about Smallville, deconstructing entire seasons at a time. In fact you'd probably enjoy all of the podcasts on that site. There are five different ones.

I only have a couple to add, but since you like both Lost & Anti-Bush politics I thought I'd add these:
The Official LOST Podcast
LOSTCasts
Real Time with Bill Maher (for those of us that missed Politically Incorrect)

And before you ask, no I don't have any urls, I get my podcast subscriptions directly from the iTunes Store (still free, they just allow you to browse a lot of podcasts and subscribe with a button push - but you knew all that, right?)
