OT: Podcasts?

[CochiseCowbell]

A big thanks goes out to the poster who recommended Serial on Pandora. Strat, maybe?

My problem now: I binge-listened, have caught up, & must now wait a week for the story to continue.

Are there any other similar podcasts (not sure I'm even using the term correctly) out there?

I've tried Radiolab & while really interesting if my phone screen goes to sleep the playback stops. Of course, BSR is my first go to every day.

Same here, I'm waiting impatiently for the next Syed update. I don't understand why these take so long since there should be info from court every day.

From what I understand the hearing is over. The judge has yet to rule and it may be several weeks. Undisclosed is another podcast that went very deep into this case. It is done from a lawyer's perspective and is hosted by lawyers. They have had more updates.

I don't know if it was mentioned, but Stuff You Should Know is a good one. As well as Freakonomics.

Criminal is fantastic. Plus the host used to work on the coast.

I moved on from that once I started listening to the current Bowe Bergdahl (sp?) story. Syed's story hooked me on the show, but I find this one more compelling.

I've actually enjoyed the bergdahl episodes more than the first season.

Agreed on Stuff You Should Know and Freakinomics. I also enjoy Stuff You Missed in History Class.

Depends on what you like, obviously. This American Life is very well produced, and usually entertaining, and is associated with Serial. Sarah Koening was/is a producer there.

Gimlet media podcasts (start up, reply all, and a few others) have also been generally entertaining and well produced. Start Up follows as they start the company, which is started by a former producer at This American Life and Freakonomics.

Dan Carlin's Hardcore History is the best history podcast I've listened to by a long shot

 

[Moe Cabelle]

I second Dan Carlin. Prophets of doom was quite entertaining.

Planet Money is a good fairly short one to listen to...

I've just gotten into podcasts and started with Serial. I liked the 1st season, but had no interest in the 2nd season. If you're looking for true crime stuff, try Sword and Scale. Some of the episodes get pretty graphic, but it's usually an interesting listen.

Which app do you use to listen to podcasts? I currently use podbay and it sucks!

Apple podcast app is awesome. If you don't have an iPhone I've heard podbean is good.

Podcasts

The Joe Rogan experience is really good. The Art of Manliness is solid. I also like the fishing podcasts on La fish blog but I think they're only on the site.

 

[SanfordRJones]

Pocket Casts on android is awesome.

The Nerdist network has a ton of great stuff.

The Nerdist podcast itself (Chris Hardwick) is where he's interviewed basically everyone you can think of. The Indoor Kids is a great one if you are a gamer.
