I'm really getting into podcasts and have been listening to a lot of 'em. I like it because I can just put the headphones on and listen while I'm doing other things. So, I decided to make a list of some of my favorite podcasts. Some of them are recorded live and then posted in archives, and others are recorded, edited and then uploaded. Most are funny, some are very serious and others are just interesting to me for whatever reason.
I don't necessarily listen to every single episode of these and I don't necessarily listen to the entire episode when I start listening. Nobody is going to be talking about something I'm interested in every time, but these podcasts are at least interesting to me most of the time...
Vinny Bond's Music on the Couch – Monday night's on Blog Talk Radio at 10 pm Eastern. Vinny interviews independent, unsigned musical artists and does a great job with it! He's an excellent interviewer. All shows are available in archives too, of course.
Marc Maron's WTF Podcast – Mostly interviews with stand up comics and comedy writers.
Sklar Brothers' Sklarboro Country
Pat Lynch's Lynched! - Arkansas stuff
Tony Kornheiser – Podcast version of his radio show without the commercials.
Doctor Anonymous' Family Medicine Rocks – Medical issues and interviews.
Jason Whitlock's Real Talk – Mostly sports, but commentary on culture and society too.
Bill Simmons' BS Report
Kevin Smith's Hollywood Babble-On
On the DL (show ending this summer)
Dan Carlin's Hardcore History
Discovery's Stuff You Should Know
The Green Room – British stand up comics.
You'll notice that some of them I just linked to the iTunes page. I did that because some of their websites aren't all that great and they actually make it hard to find the “listen” button. Seriously, if your whole thing is being a podcast, you might try to make it as easy as possible for people to figure out how to listen. That's almost as bad as people who make it hard to comment on their blogs.
Dang, that's a lot of podcasts! Well, like I said I don't listen to all of them every week or even all of every episode. And, it's just like listening to the radio. Turn on a podcast and then going about my business means I can listen while doing other things.

But of course, there's one podcast that stands out above all others! And that's the “I'm With Stupid” show hosted by Matt-Man and me!
Uh, okay, so maybe it isn't the greatest podcast of all time. But, it IS fun and rather entertaining, if I do say so myself. Anyway, we did a special Bonus Stupid episode on Saturday and talked some baseball. And, even though BTR did everything they could think of short of knocking us off the air to ruin the day, the show worked out pretty nicely.
BTR wouldn't let a lot of people sign in. They wouldn't let some people in the chat room. They wouldn't let both Matt and me in the chat room at the same time. Our Baseball's Opening Day live remote from our new Sports Director Slyder Balzcock wouldn't play properly. And they decided that I didn't need the use of the switchboard. But, Matt and I being the scrappy and persistent types that we are, we persevered and put out another quality show. At least better than Charlie Sheen's show over the weekend.
So, if you like you can listen using this fancy play that BTR designed that may or may not work. Or, if you only read this blog in Reader, there will be a player at the bottom of the post for you too.
