Podcasts and You!

[NeutralMunchHotel]

I've just realised how much I listen to podcasts compared to music on my iPod. I'd honestly say it's about 80/20. And the reason? It's because podcasts are so interesting.

It's like the radio, only you can listen to any podcast on any topic, any times. And there are usually multiple ones on any subject. They're just great.

And so, Escapists, I was wondering what you answer to a very simple question is: what do you think of podcasts, and if you listen to any which are they?

My list:

Listen Up (1UP's premiere video game podcast, although with Garnett and John gone I'm not so sure)
The Adam and Joe Podcast (BBC 6 radio station podcast, absolutely hilarious)
Gonintendo (Very funny, but not very informative about Nintendo news. But I don't care about Nintendo anymore, so it's all good!)
This American Life (Perhaps corny, but very good listening nontheless)
Wait! Wait! Don't Tell Me (NPR's comedy panel show. Not incredibly funny, but still worth listeining to)
Urban Coffee (A talky show, perhaps odd but I enjoy it)

And, that's about it.

Edit: Oh, and one more question - are there any other podcasts that you would recommend?

The only one I regularly listen to that still posts updates is This American Life. I'm also a fan of the Ricky Gervais Podcast and the Josh Tabish Show.

Might I ask what you find boring about them? Not to sound rude, but I'd just like to know!

They mention it all the time in their radio show...

PC Gamer US podcast, I listened to the Fat-Pie (Salad Fingers guy's) podcast for the entire 6 episodes it lasted. Beyond that I haven't really found any that have managed to keep my attention for more than one or two episodes, they either have to be funny or informative about something I'm interested in or I tune out.
