All Things Podcast

[Alan_Noonan_10]

I got a lot out of the History of Rome and Revolutions podcasts.

Espionage is interesting. Tells stories of spies, how they operated and how they were caught.

The bugle and no such thing as a fish are fun, but probably not to everyone’s liking.

I’m nearly up to date on The History of the English Language. The Ratline is short, but interesting about an Austrian Nazi who escapes to Rome via the “ratline”. His son is a major contributor.

Can I ask where people find the time to listen to Podcasts?

I’m guessing it’s am / pm PT Commute? But outside of that?

An average work week sees me spend 12-14 hours behind the wheel.

I just moved into the city after spending 4 years driving 3-4 hours a day. Gave me a lot of podcast time, but was terrible for every other aspect of life.

[Alan_Noonan_10]

Out walking for me, or whenever i drive to Melbourne.

You into radio dramas / plays?

There is a classic zombie series called “We’re Alive” that goes about 4 seasons, and is very well made.

An hour (each way) commute, running, cooking, breastfeeding, whilst the eldest is watching playschool…

New podcast I found was “You’re wrong about”, 2 journos who take past events and people and tell what the media “got wrong” about them or missed reporting.

Hardcore history

I listen to Podcasts to and from work. Often I’ll listen to something when walking between meetings as well. Also i literally can’t sleep without listening to something so I pick out a podcast in which I have a mild interest in every night to get to sleep.

The times everyone is describing is when I try to catch up on a shitpile backlog of Music I’ve been wanting to listen to.

Easy to see why I can’t seem find the time, … it seems it’s one or the other. (… or, if you’re braindead, … MMM or SEN, … )

Also i literally can’t sleep without listening to something

And that’s when I’ll try catching up on Docos I want to watch. (similar thing I s’pose, … just with pictures)

play podcasts while working.

Sh***ing With The Door Open.

Bump.

Keen on some recommendations now that I’ve burned through nearly all available eps of my current favourites. #commuterlyf

Criteria:

• No “true crime” bollocks
• Prefer funny over informative but not by much
• None where it starts out with a great premise but about a dozen episodes in the hosts have bought into their own hype and think that we want 70% of the show to be dumb hysterical rambling about their personal lives and not the original premise. Looking at you, All Fantasy Everything and The Worst Idea Of All Time.
• Not footy. Footyology has me sorted in that category.

Dumb People Town is a podcast that tells stories about various people that would give Florida Man a run for his money. Not terribly informative but is quite humourous, The Dollop boys have appeared a few times as guests.

So just trying to find some podcasts for the drive to and from work.

What are people listening to that they like, any subject?

Tried a few which were ■■■■, but I found one I liked called ‘13 minutes to the moon’ from the BBC, listened to the final episode first, so have to start over.

You got kids? If so:

Rusty’s Garage ( Greg Rust ) is good if you like Motorsport. Always a good interview with people like Murphy, Webber, Lowndes etc. He also interviews ex mechanics etc. Its easy listening and good quality. Don’t even really have to love Motorsport for it to keep your interest.

[tinhillterror]

Didn’t really hit the spot for me this one. But too much like an FM radio show, with all the pats on the back and OTT story telling.

Thanks for the link though.

If you like some informative/comedy type stuff Sawbones is a medical history podcast where a doctor teaches her husband about some of the old-timey medical procedures and beliefs that used to be practised.

[Preliminary_Point2]

Only missing a dmt reference, but this is great.

[Henry_s_Angry_Pills]

None where it starts out with a great premise but about a dozen episodes in the hosts have bought into their own hype and think that we want 70% of the show to be dumb hysterical rambling about their personal lives and not the original premise.

So, that rules out every podcast ever recorded then.
