Really surprised how much I enjoyed this one

He’s a really funny guy. I like that ranting type of comedy and it’s cool that’s it so irish focused.

Echo Chamber. Quite a good podcast on Irish politics and current affairs. Laid back and informal. Production could be better at times, however.

The audio quality is slightly off though. I'm no audiophile but I think he needs to put those sound dampener things on the walls of whatever studio/bedroom he records in to prevent that slight echo. The material is good, might as well go all out on the simple things.

"Lift the Sink" Short story and literary podcast. Really laid back and relaxing, I find it a great listen after work. Only a few episodes in but the short stories have been very good. Book reviews and general chat about reading fiction in the mix too.

Listened to the first episode of the new true crime podcast on RTE Doc on One called The Nobody Zone. Second episode of 6 out tomorrow. It's really excellent. Brilliant script and narration by Tim Hinman and a truly compelling story about a London based Irish serial killer who got away with it for a very long time.

Just a minor plug guys if you're looking for a Pop culture podcast over the next few weeks.
I put out my most recent episode in English and Irish for Paddy's Day at the same time.

English-

Irish-

People on here have always been very supportive and I'm sure with the lockdown people who have always thought of starting a podcast will be doing so, would be great if people did to hav a place to plug it and maybe get some feedback from the community

I'm listening to The Nobody Zone right now and it's some crazy stuff, right enough. The fake copper is a pure fantasist! Have RTE done a proper doc on it?

'The Dollop' is a very good podcast - kind of a comedy/infotainment podcast. Quite like 'Stuff You Should Know', only the two presenters are comedians, so they are kind of trying for laughs a bit more throughout. They're funny, though.

One thing that I like about it is that it's been on the go for 5 years, and the episodes usually aren't topical, so it's one you can listen to from the beginning. I've been looking for new content - obviously with the lockdown and everything, but also because any Irish news/current affairs podcast (Liveline, Today with S'OR) are now 100% corona virus every day. I know it's a serious issue (and there is genuinely no other news to talk about, now that everything, everywhere, is shut down), but I think I reached my limit on COVID content some weeks ago...

El Tarangu · 24-03-2020 11:01pm

Another podcast that has been on the go ages (since 2007, so one of the really early ones) is 'StarShipSofa'. Each week, a science fiction story is narrated by an actor.

If you've never really got into sci-fi, here are two stories that aren't very typical SF, but are very good:

Banged Up is another great podcast.

padjocollins · 09-04-2020 8:52am

reply all , rte documentary on one . two great podcasts. binging on reply all now

Arghus · 12-04-2020 12:37am

The Dating Game Killer is pretty good. Whole thing is out, just six episodes, and unlike something like The Nobody Zone there's actually an interesting story.

doughef · 13-04-2020 10:09am

Currently listening to

‘unexplained’ - spooky stuff. Excellent production and fairly intense .

‘The irrelevant information podcast’
Episodes about literally anything.
Bears in hibernation ?
Coffee?
Mount Rushmore?

Guy is a genius and always makes the subject matter entertaining and interesting

I thought the nobody zone was great ,
yes lots of lose ends but that kind of added to it seen as it was about forgotten people ,

Seventhirtyeight politics podcast has an excellent take on the covid situation in the US. Really informative.

dball · 28-04-2020 11:23pm

is that fivethirtyeight? you mean?

cozar · 28-04-2020 11:25pm

Yes sorry not good with numbers&#55357;&#56842;

If anyone is into air-crash investigations - 'inside the black box', really, really excellent podcast. It really drills down into the accident sequence in a very technical, dispassionate way. Your man has this very laconic way of speaking that some may find off-putting, but the quality of the content is really impeccable.

DMcL1971 · 30-04-2020 5:07pm

I’ll second that. He does a great job of explaining some very technical flight stuff in a way that can be easily understood. I also appreciate that he will quote from the cockpit voice recordings but won’t actually play them as that would be a bit macabre.

Arghus · 01-05-2020 12:23am

Thanks for that.

Very good recommendation. Though it can be a fairly anxiety inducing listen.

Big fan of that style of presentation - completely dry and just the facts - would love to know of similar out there.

Two of my favourites are The History of The Cold War and They Walk Amongst Us - just the dispassionate facts.

If you loved the U.S. tv sit com 'Scrubs' then you will find this absolutely joyful. https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-fake-doctors-real-friends-60367049/

'The Happiness Lab' has been really interesting to listen to during this time it's presented by a Yale professor who conducted a successful module at Yale and wants to share it more widely. It's along the lines of behavioural psychology and evidence based advice.

It is like an episode of 'Father Ted' if Ted went all D4. And was sitting out in his 'cor' stuck on a small remote island.
He has plenty of opinions and has a funny way of looking at things. I can remember seeing him doing standup years and years ago. With his wlimsey/flimsley music on a keyboard
