Podcasts Are Great

February 8th, 2007 by Joen , ,

So, late to the game as usual, I have discovered podcasts. They’re great. It’s radio, on demand. As an avid Mac critic, I’ve tried holding off installing iTunes, but finally succumbed. So far, iTunes is just the best solution out there for subscribing to, downloading and playing podcasts. I’ve tried TWiT’s webplayer, Digg Podcasts webplayer. They’re both okay, but iTunes is just more comfortable. Fine.

I’m currently subscribing to:

Now I just need more good podcasts. That’s where you come into the picture. Tell me: what I should be subscribing to?

    Any political podcasts? How about comedy?
    BBC Radio 4's "The Now Show" - Very UK-centric comedy, but it's worth a try.
    Boagworld - Various web related stuff
    Escape Pod - SciFi
    FormulaPod - Only if youre into F1 of course
    The Onion Radio News - Just silly
    The Sunday Papers - 10min (or so) news reviewish by a very funny Englishman who also does BritishMac (but you wont like that one)

    UK-centric is fine. I like to listen to local stuff that's totally not local to me.

    Boagworld - Various web related stuff
    Escape Pod - SciFi

    Will check out.

    FormulaPod - Only if youre into F1 of course
    The Onion Radio News - Just silly

    Gotta admit, neither into F1 nor The Onion.

    The Sunday Papers - 10min (or so) news reviewish by a very funny Englishman who also does

    Will check out.

    I criticise because I love!

    • I love my iPod Shuffle.
    • Now that I can get linux on an Apple TV, I might get one.
    • When people ask me about what laptop they should buy, I say "mac", because they make good hardware.
    • I read Gruber.

    So even though I'm an avid mac critic, I'm not a rabid and zealous windows fanboy :)
