Podcasts

[riwiho]

I listen on a regular basis to a number of podcasts (Gareth Jones on Speed, Kermodes film rewviews, IGN, Adam & Joe, Chequered Flag F1. Steven Fry).

My main issue is that I find it hard to find new podcasts. Does anyone else listen to them and could you please recommend me some new casts that I may not be aware of.

I'm pretty open minded and am happy to listen to anything from Radio 4 documentary's to pointless comedy and everything in the middle.

Thanks

As I have a 10 month year old son, the Sesame Street Podcast is my most downloaded! Nice cameos if you do watch it. Funny seeing Beckham and Elmo talk about Persistence and Jessica Alba about the word "Scrumptious!"

The Ricky Gervais podcasts are funny but now they sell the episodes as audiobooks (boo!) and the Russell Brand (Radio 4) were also funny if you can stomach him.

The geek in you will like the "TED" video/audio podcasts. "TED" stands for Tech Education Design and showcases a multitude of brains and talent to talk about the most random subjects.

ETA I find new podcasts by browsing iTunes charts (Most Downloaded via catergory/overall) and via the Featured sections.

Distorted view (dictionary definition of nsfw- utter filth and rather entertaining )
Sick and wrong
Vomitus prime
Mediocre show
Awful show (bit hit and miss)
Keith and the girl (early shows are much better, recent shows a bit ste)

ETA smodcast too, though I don't find it holds my attention much, but ok)

Only podcasts I listen to are:

Mark Kermodes film reviews
Ricky Gervais, Steve Merchant and Karl Pilkington
Security Now
Explicit Liability
TWIT
TWIF

The last four are techy ones.

What podcasts does Stephen Fry do ? I've never heard that!

If you’re any kind of football fan you need to listen to Danny Bakers 606 podcast. Not the Tim Lovejoy or Spoony ones just Danny Baker. It has me in stitches every time I listen.

I've got several of their podcasts and had to stop listening to them on a plane because my head literally fell off.

Jon Richardson, of BBC6 Music

More mellow than Adam & Joe, & showcases a lot of up-coming, semi-famous comedians each week.

Excellent stuff, completely off the wall. I listened to them doing Jules Holland impressions on the way to work this morning and laughed until I cried

I'd listen to him if he got rid of that Matt Ford fellow, Jesus I'd like to see him boiled in oil.

Joe Cornish was an extra (Bob) on Hot Fuzz in the same scene that I was. I shared an extras waiting room minibus with him while we waited around all day but he didn't do his funny stuff that day, he just read the paper.

I had that same problem walking to get some lunch, with exactly the same bit. I must perfect the art of laughing my arse off while keeping a straight face. Funny looks...

And a bloody good impression it was too

Jon Richardson - 6Music - I enjoy him because he is a bitter and miserable old man in a youngish mans body. Al Pitcher and other comedy guests really make it. Matt Forde is annoying but sometimes hilarious.

Adam and Joe - 6Music - Probably my favourite podcast, always funny and also a good long length for the commute. The one I wait for the most.

Kermode and Mayo - 5Live - Essential if you enjoy films, entertaining even if you don't.

Chequered Flag - 5Live - Superb and insightful analysis and interviews on F1, am a new comer to this one but rising quickly in my favourites list.

Tom Robinson - 6Music - A useful resource for hearing new music, a few choice gems have been found from this and helps to keep your ear open for things outside your regular listening field.

Music Week - 6Music - Although the presenters are sometimes quite boring, the interviews and analysis on the current affairs in the music industry and artists are usually very good.

Film Weekly - Guardian.co.uk - Another new comer in my lists and a more straight forward compliment to the Kermode film reviews. Really enjoying these.

Music Weekly - Guardian.co.uk - Much like the Music Week one from 6Music but slightly more focused on artists and new music rather then the broader industry itself.

Adam and Joe - Old XFM podcasts - More childish and sweary then the 6Music podcasts but still hilarious.

Nearly forgot:

Chris Harris - Autocar Weekly - Only found these recently and were a fascinating and insightful vodcast by Mr Harris (who is a superb 'car man' presenter) and was gutted they finished. I need something of equal quality to replace my car stuff box...

Love TWIT and SN. Normally listen to windows weekyl and Net@Night as well (was gutted to find that Amber was pregnant, she should have been having my child).

Also currently listening to :
Scott Sigler - serialised horror/SF/gore. Generally very well written stories, very well read and produced. Only getting a chapter a week can be painful at times though.

Stephen Fry's podcasts haven't been updated for quite a while though. Must be a very busy man tweeting to a few hundred thousand (or more?) people.
