Podcasts I Enjoy
Since getting the Christmas iPod, I have joined the ranks of the regular podcast listeners. Having a full slate of podcasts comes in handy when I’m walking at the Metropark instead of working full time. Here is the list of podcasts to which I currently subscribe (in alphabetical order):
- Bill Moyers Journal (audio only) – great guests, intelligent interviews. Since it’s a classic sit-down interview show, there’s not much reason to get the video feed.
- From Our Own Correspondent – BBC show featuring personal essays from their foreign correspondents that typically go behind the news stories
- Irish and Celtic Music Podcast – From Marc Gunn (of the Brobdingnagian Bards).
- LeShow (with Harry Shearer) - Apologies of the Week, News From Outside the Bubble, topical humor and more
- NPR All Songs Considered – Features a wide variety of popular music
- NPR Live Concerts from All Songs Considered – Live recordings from a variety of popular acts
- NPR Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me – Current events comedy quiz
- ObviousPop – Power pop faves from Dr. Tony Shore – good stuff
- Q – The Podcast – Arts and entertainment interview show on the CBC hosted by Jian Ghomeshi (formerly of Moxy Fruvous). Was recently in the news for Ghomeshi’s interview with Billy Bob Thornton where Billy Bob totally melted down. Kinda like Fresh Air, but Canadian, with a much hipper host.
- Stuff You Missed In History Class – short (15-20 minute) episodes on a variety of historical topics
