Recommend me good podcasts

[the white rabbit]

Not an iPod specific thread, what podcasts are worth getting to a new podcastee?

I was listening to one from the US on my laptop the other day and though podcasts are they way to go for on the move entertainment.

[K]

I never actually listened to one myself, but they're supposed to be good if you have a favourite TV series/radio show or something...

... apparently there's a couple of good 'news' ones too. Very useful for sounds bites of what is happening in the world...

... but then I live in blissful ignorance of the rest of the world so wouldn't know nuffin' 'bout that mista. ;)

I've got the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on mp3 & the "Black Sabbath in the Park" from Rub Radio.

Nearest I get to Podcasts!

Most radio stations will do a podcast of their shows.

[Jdubya]

Most radio stations do podcasts of some of their more popular shows and some celebrities and comedians do them as well. There are also video podcasts out there. Best is to search the local google pages:cool:

The Archers omnibus.

Oooooh that takes me back - a constant reminder of Sunday roast, all the family in the dining room with the trials and tribulations of a bunch of farmers going on in the background.

I can't hear the theme tune without thinking I can smell roast meat and gravey...

yet more opportunities for sauve, James Bond-esque innuendo... but I'm much too grown up. Or unimaginative....

The Ricky Gervais podcasts are quite possibly the funniest thiing you will ever hear.

Think they are available through his site, and the two series were done with The Guardian so they will be there also.

Might have a run through again myself....

[Sid Squid]

Material World - Radio 4.

[gettin2dizzy]

Hehe. THe Ricky Gervais podcasts can make a 5 hour journey too short! You really need to take a bit of time to warm to Karl Pilkington; but he's a institution :)
