Question is in the title folks, whats your fave podcast? no matter how embarrassing you think it may be, or no matter how boring you think it may make you look, what is it?

is it sport, music, movie related, current affairs, or what?

i'll go first, right now i am liking Dunphy's sunday morning show on newstalk

Silverfish

This week in tech. Can't beat a bit of Leo LaPorte.

And PaulDotCom Security, even if I only understand about 10% of it.

Also, best of youtube

Dr Karl's Science phone-in on BBC5Live. It's on about 3AM on a Thursday morning, interesting if you like that sort of thing

Diabhal Beag

The Guardian Football Weekly

Either Engadget's tech podcast or Murph's Country Pages

This week in tech. Can't beat a bit of Leo LaPorte.

Its the most annoying podcast I have ever listened to! I don't even know where to start, first of all it should just be called 'Week in Apple' because they will talk about the tiniest bit of news from Apple for up to an hour while going off on annoying tangents every now and then. The people they have on the podcast seem to know very little about technology (Unless its Apple). There are ads where the host just tells you about how amazing audible.com is and then the guests will chime in with comments like 'OMG yeah its like so awesome, I havent read this much in years' (Its audiobooks your not even reading!!!). At least every 5 mins someone says something completely retarded. Okay I'll stop now, I needed to get that out of my system.

Detour

The Hamish and Andy podcast.

It's a 2 hour daily radio show condensed into a half hour (cuts out music, ads, news). To genuinely funny blokes, and the more you listen to it the funnier it gets. I'd really recommend it to anyone. I'd even rank it above the Ricky Gervais ones, which are also great.

Giving a shout out to the TwoJacks

very low budget affair from 2 up & comings in LA

consistently brilliant

Dr.Winston O'Boogie

Anyone know where you can download the Ricky Gervais podcasts in mp3 format? Only Itunes on his official site

Kasabian

Tommy and Hector

nbrady20009

Definitely the Tommy and Hector show. Shame there is no music though.

Niallwithaz

If you're into games then I'd recommend the Giant Bombcast. Up to date with all the news and 'tis hilarious

Sykk

Corsten's Countdown

JayeL

Mark Kermode & Simon Mayo, talkin about de fillums on BBC Radio 5 Live.

Not really around any more, but the Ricky Gervais show I thought was a great laugh.

Love it along with Dr Karl on Australia's triple J

F1 Rejects

Probably the best F1 podcast out there, if you don't take it too seriously.

Anyone know any good podcast review websites?

colinod0806

My week is never complete without the Frank Skinner podcast

Nanoc

For me it's the Joe Rogan Experience, it can be a bit hit and miss recently but there are some gems, he does two or three a week and they can run to 3 hours so I don't get to listen to them all but they're fun!!

I've loads on mine. But the only ones I listen to frequently are
This Week In Tech. - he has audible ads (amongst others )in his podcast. My podcast app has a 30 second flick forward option which skips the ads extremely easily.
Kermode & Mayo Film Reviews
The Infinite Monkey Cage - Brian Cox & Robert Ince discuss science topics with some humour.

Mr_Roger_Bongos

Can't believe no one has mentionned 'Fighting Talk',

Colin Murray presents a 'have i got news for you' in a sports style, with various contributors its always a very good laugh and you pick up sports knowledge at the same time!

I also like the Guardian football podcast and the Newstalk 'Off the ball'.

I'm a massive wrestling fan so my favourite is a retro podcast by the LAW, called Review-a-Wai. They cherry pick events over the last 25 years and review a show, backstage scandal and generally have an interview with someone involved at the time. Really great stuff. It's so good it inspired me to make my own.

McG

Hardcore History is my absolute favourite but they're not very frequent.

Tales of tyeria (sp) every sunday night,its aguild war 2 podcast

I'm forever on the lookout for good short podcasts, so that HowStuffWorks one is looking very interesting to me. Scientific American's 60-Second Science is a similar idea, but covering more research-driven topics. I see they've expanded the 60-Second idea to cover more topics now.

I only have so much time to listen to podcasts, so I'm not going to waste it on listening to two blokes talking crap for an hour, as so many podcasts seem to be. It's not Radio, there is no excuse for waffling to fill a time slot. I like podcasts which don't mess around: start it up, get your message across, then stop. :pac:

Some more great short podcasts:
- News from Lake Woebegon - where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above-average. Garrison Keillor's long-running segment on A Prairie Home Companion, about a fictional Minnesota town.
- Spot of Bother: life is not peachy.
- War of the Roses: segment from a New York radio show in which the presenters catch cheaters by offering them free roses. Guaranteed to cure you of any notions of romance in your life. :eek:
- KCRW Martini Shot: snippets from a working TV writer about all kinds of things related to Hollywood.
- Skeptoid: debunking various forms of Woo.
and, naturally, The Bugle. The Times may have pulled their funding, but they're still going strong, despite Andy's obsession with attending more Olympics events than was strictly advisable. :pac:

Ok, here goes. I don't watch TV or listen to the radio, so I listen to a tonne of podcasts. All of these are unbelievably good, so in no particular order, please check out...

All the usual show - e.g.: This American Life, RadioLab etc plus...
The Tobolowsky Files - true stories from the life of actor Stephen Tobolowsky (so good I learned to spell his name, just to tell people about it).
The Film Talk - Jett Loe and (Irishman) Gareth Higgens, two hyper articulate cinefiles discuss movies at breakneck speed and passionate intensity.
Boars, Gore and Swords, a Game Of Thrones Podcast
The Moth Podcast - true stories told live, always entertaining and features tonnes of famous writers, musicians etc
Savage Love - Hilarious and contentious weekly sex advice from writer and editor Dan Savage
The Age Of Persuasion - Canadian show by an advertising executive, explaining just how the industry bend us to their will
In Our Time - History of science art and intellectual thought from British Lord Melvin Bragg
Starship Sofa - Hugo Award winning news and stories from the world of science fiction every week (disclaimer - I sometimes read stories for the show)
Love And Radio - Trippy, freeform storytelling / interview show, with music. Kind of like This American Life
A Life Well Wasted - Occasional, beautifully edited show about art, games, storytelling etc - each episode features custom written music and art, a real labour of love.

Also - if you'd like to check out some homegrown efforts - I've produced a several Irish comedy podcasts - The Invisible Tourguide, The Emerald Arts, Technolotics, and my new weekly sketch comedy podcast Dead Medium.

If anyone would like info about equipment / technical side of podcasting PM me. I'd be happy to chat.

i rarely listen to live radio anymore, opting for pod-casts.
Mondays its a catch up on the weekend sport with

Ian Wright on Absolute Radio, the 606 phone ins, and the non league show,
then its
Christian O'Connell breakfast show on Absolute radio, then its anything that takes my fancy, i normally have about 5 days worth at any one time so a big choice, Katie Morgan the ex adult actress has her own pod-cast which is entertaining
http://havingsex.smodcast.libsynpro.com/rss

here's a few more

frank Skinner
Ian Collins wants a word
the Adam carolla show
the Dave gorman show
Simon Mayo's confessions
comedy of the week
Danny baker show
daily bacon
BBC documentaries
this american life
etc. etc.

talk sport do a few but they do tend to cut them off mid sentence which is annoying .....

The only podcast I listen to is The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe. It's enjoyable, but Rebecca Watson and Jay Novella can be annoying at times.
