Podcasts

[VanAce]

What podcasts do people listen to?

I don't listen to many as I only just got a decent download limit but I listen to Media Artists Secrets.

What do you guys listen to and what do people recommend?

[Cian]

I usually get the Best Of YouTube for giggles.

I listen to Eamon Dunphy interviews (Irish media person).

I used to get Uni podcasts before they went to shit.

And I'm yet to find a decent music podcast. MTV's Gonzo hasn't released one since February.

[Laveidem]

I like Akimbo.

[ThePhotoshop]

I would have pimped myself but Laveidem beat me!

I have a ton of gaming podcasts, but the best non-gaming one I subscribe to is probably Earth Touch.

http://www.earth-touch.com/

Beautiful stuff.

[dimorphic]

I listen to Major Nelson or Bungie when I can be arsed, which isn't often.

[Super Sleuth]

I've only ever listened to one podcast. Ricky Gervais.

[Citizen Erased]

Heres the ones I listen to -

Australian Gamer Podcast
CO-OP
EpicBattleAxe
Invisible Walls

ThumbPad

[igotnewsuper8systemWRONG!]

Lately I've been a massive fan of Idle Thumbs

[Kotche]

Hamish and Andy

[Azzaman]

Hamish and Andy

Long live the summer drummer.

I listen to Giant bombcast, Listenup, occasionally I'll give What they play a listen and whenever Penny-Arcade put up a new podcast I'm all over that s**t.

I also listen to the DnD podcast every now and then, mostly when the PvP and PA guys get together with Wil Wheaton for a dungeon delve.

[grimace06]

I listen to...

Giant Bombcast

Listen Up

The Hotspot

CAGcast

CAG Foreplay

Joystiq Podcast

Rebel FM

A Life Well Wasted

Australian Gamer Podcast

XBOX360 Fancast

Major Nelson

[igotnewsuper8systemWRONG!]

I listened to Rebel FM once or twice, it was embarassingly bad.

[texta]

I listen to The Law Report and Occam's razor (both on ABC Radio National). I used to listen to others but I ended up just getting a massive list that I hadn't listened to.

[Surgeon.]

Hamish and Andy
IGN (Three Red Lights)
IGN (Gamescoop)
IGN (Command Prompt)
Giant Bombcast
Australian Gamer Podcast
Akimbo

Some are better than others, but I've got alot of time to fill at work.

[St@ckboy]

Bombcast
Geekbox
Out of the Game
Rebel FM
ListenUP

[Slippery]

Bombcast and Three Red Lights (IGN)

[VanAce]

Is there any good ones out there for the DS as I am yet to find any that look any good.

[Shorty]

Giant Bombcast, Red vs Blue and the Listen UP podcasts are my main listens. Also occasionally give Downloadable Content, Chatterbox and Australian Gamer a go.

[UC1]

These are all worth checking out...

[Watchers]

I like Akimbo.
http://www.danielhindes.net/akimbo/wp-content/themes/contempt/images/blue_flower/akimbo_header_white.jpg
http://www.akimbopodcast.com

I just listened to the latest to try it out and OHMYGOD. Who is that guy with the whiny voice who just doesn't shut up? Totally makes the whole thing unlistenable.

[Optimus]

My all time favourite (which is strange given how much I can't stand the typical yank humour within):

http://mondays.pwop.com

It's in semi-retirement but there was a new one released last week.


Also The World's Smartest Man, which isn't really a podcast (and is also dead but still good for a laugh):
http://www.thesmartestman.com/


Best general programming and nerdy one I know of:
http://www.hanselminutes.com/

Got a bunch of Zend PHP dev ones to listen through as well. Also the occasional Akimbo.

[Dorepoll]

John Oliver (The Daily Show) has a padcast called The Bugle. It's him and another comedian trying to smash each other with their wit. It is better than anything on TV.

[VanAce]

I discovered Books You Should Read done by Simply Syndicated. Also a bunch of tutorial ones for Maya and Flash

[Surgeon.]

lol, That would be Josh.

I've turned off a number of Akimbo podcasts thanks to Josh. He tends to talk too fast, too loud and too often. Sometimes it sounds like he's going to pass out because he can't get out what he's trying to say quickly enough. He single handedly gave me a headache the first time I tried to listen to Akimbo. Hasn't happened recently so perhaps I've built up a resistance. :p

We should just make our own podcast. It would totally be more interesting and amusing... to us anyway. 90% of it would be saying HASTE, Stevooooo, MACGYVER, bagging Slippery, bagging WK and 10% would be awkward silence. Actually, the first 10mins would just be me saying "EYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY..."

[Slippery]

Don't forget bagging Surgeon's job

[Patdog]

I listen to:

The Coodabeen Champions (because we only get the 2nd hour in Canberra)
RRR All Over the Shop

[Watchers]

I enjoy listening to videogame related podcasts on the way in to work in the morning, so I need 5 hours of podcast per week. Currently, I'm going with Three Red Lights (1hr), Command Prompt (1hr), Game Scoop! (1hr) and the Bombcast (2hrs). I would like to ditch Command Prompt, since it's pretty sucky, so anyone got any suggestions for a weekly podcast I can replace it with?

[ThePhotoshop]

It's not game related but I'd highly recommend the Creative Screenwriting Podcast.

http://creativescreenwritingmagazine.blogspot.com/

It's basically Q&A sessions with the writers for a whole bunch of awesome films. You don't need to be into screenwriting to enjoy it; you just have to like movies.

I'd recommend in particular the Watchmen episode (with David Hayter - glee!):
http://media.libsyn.com/media/creativescreenwritingmag/WatchmenQandA_clean.mp3

And the Wall-E one:
http://media.libsyn.com/media/creativescreenwritingmag/AndrewStantonWallEQandA.mp3

Heaps of great insights into how films are written and made.

[Watchers]

I thought you were going to suggest Akimbo, in which case I would've punched you through the internet :p

Ooh, unless you've figured out how to mute that other guy. Or put his voice through some sort of synthesizer.

[Surgeon.]

It's not game related but I'd highly recommend the Creative Screenwriting Podcast.

Actually been listening to these lately and they're rather awesome. So far listened to Watchmen, Wall-E, Dark Knight, In Bruges and *cough* Postal. Uwe Boll is absolutely nuts.

Just makes you want to re-watch the films after listening to the podcasts to appreciate all the work that's gone into them.

[ThePhotoshop]

I thought you were going to suggest Akimbo, in which case I would've punched you through the internet :p
Give the latest episode (http://www.danielhindes.net/akimbo/?p=333) a listen. It's a bit slower, and shouldnt' give you a headache.

The best bit was when you said it was too soon to give away batman spoilers, then proceeded to give away batman spoilers.

[igotnewsuper8systemWRONG!]

I started listening to this maybe a month ago, I think I would say that it has fast become my favourite podcast. Does anyway if a similar podcasts exist that is more focussed towards videogame?, I'd love to hear interviews with different guys in the games industry whether they be writers, directors, level designers whatever.

Just incase anyone cares, lately I've been listening to stuff you should know, it's done by 2 of the guys from how stuff works, good stuff.

[Adios]

I listen (almost) exclusively to IGN podcasts.

Podcast Beyond, Game Scoop and Three Red Lights alway provide plenty of laughs.

"Proper hardcore" :p

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

BEYOND in all caps.

[Watchers]

Too bad TRL has gone very irregular schedule-wise.

[Gameboffin]

That screenwriters one is WIN!

Shameless self-plug time - we're recording our 5th PixelCast this weekend, with guest Nathan Cocks from PCPowerPlay (AKA ElPresidente). PM me any question you might have for myself, Nathan or Tim Henderson (who also pens for Hyper, Retro Gamer and PCPP).

[ThePhotoshop]

Please ask Nathan how dirty he feels now that this is his third different podcast!

If you get Prez to sing some 'Pressure Down' on the podcast, I'll download it.

[Shorty]

Bonus points if he uses the I Am T-Pain app to Autotune that shit. :p

[VanAce]

I just discovered you can download Good News Week as a video podcast on the iTunes store. I just downloaded one and it only goes for 15mins. I sort of flicked through it and it goes up to the first adbreak and then that were it finishes.

[Citizen Erased]

TalkRadar US is a good game related podcast. Funny as hell imo.

[Space_Monkey]

I enjoy a number of Podcasts.

- Stephen Frys Podgrams, they're regularly funny, informative and listening to Stephen's angelic like English accent is a joy.

- The Philosophy Podcast, it's a pretty dumbed down version of really heady topics but you can't expect more from a half an hour Podcast and it's often a good overview of each of the major Philosophers like Plato and such.

- Matt Berry has an occasionial podcast which is a repeat of a radio program he does on Absolute radio which is mildly entertaining.

- Barack Obama's weekly Address, it's only five minutes and I like to know whats going on, especially given the health care debates at the minute.

- And I natrually listen to Ricky Gervais.

Listened to it today, pretty good. Could do without the 'whacky' sound effects and stupid skits.

[Surgeon.]

Mr Nathan Cocks on Akimbo this week.

Shame they spent pretty much the whole podcast talking about Brutal Legend, which I'm really not that interested in. I demand an entire podcast devoted to Forza 3! :p

[Watchers]

Brutal Legend is awesome, and you suck. Does Prez sing in this one? Otherwise pass.

[JubeiSaotome]

Thread necro. Hyper user Grimace and I have started doing a fortnightly podcast with another local writer on Ganatomy. Expect to hear Not Matt, Jickle and a few other familiars on in the near future.

Had a listen tonight at work. Seemed alright . . . pretty much what I expected. Nerds talking about games for an hour.

Probably needs something to set it apart from the millions of other similar gaming podcasts out there. Drunken Jickle should help.

[Araenel]

Just started listening to it, but there's Citizen Radio (http://wearecitizenradio.com/home.htm), run by Jamie Kilstein and his girlfriend, liberal-commies talking about politics and shit in the US. Haven't listened to much yet but I've enjoyed other things I've seen with Kilstein.

Cheers, thanks for the input :D

Pretty much all the feedback has been positive for a first go. Will definitely look into a unique hook.

Karl Pilkington is the real star. Absolutely brilliant.

[igotnewsuper8systemWRONG!]

Karl the real star?! An understatement to say the least, Karl is the ****ing podcast. If Karl wasn't on it no one would pay for it, hell no one would even download it for free.

[JubeiSaotome]

Had a Ganatomy podcast with Jickle last night, listen here:
http://ganatomy.podbean.com/2010/03/26/ganatomy-heartcast-3-life-with-jickle/

The latter two being my favourites. :3

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

[JubeiSaotome]

I can't promote Mega64 enough, they have one of the most unique podcasts out there.

[SOX]

Love the Giant Bombcast and Skeptics Guide to the Universe.
Didn't really did the PixelCast but will def have to check out Mega64!

[grimace06]

The Ganatomy Heartcast is the best podcast on the Citadel >_>

[Shorty]

Any dergers left?

Those GDC podcasts were utterly hilarious. I'm totally pumped for Lincoln Force! And poop jokes.

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

Yeah GB moved to the top of my favs list pretty quickly after I read about it in one of these threads.

Checking M64 now.

[JubeiSaotome]

If you get a chance, check out the video version. There's usually one or two visual jokes during a podcast.

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

I just grabbed both to see which one I prefer. I'd probably prefer audio for car listening.

[igotnewsuper8systemWRONG!]

Garnett Lee's new podcast, haven't listened yet.

http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/63008

edit: ****! just realised Jeff Cannata is in it, there are few things in this world I dislike more than TRS, I am devastated.

[Watchers]

I was going to check out M64, but I don't really like their vids, and the podcast description seems to suggest there's a lot of discussion about their vids and how they were made etc. Confirm/deny?

[JubeiSaotome]

If at all they will talk about a video for 10 minutes. The rest of the time is talking about games they're playing and banter on topical gaming & non-gaming news. Sometimes they do questions and answers. Oh, and a fair bit of life experiences and stories.

[Surgeon.]

Had a Ganatomy podcast with Jickle last night, listen here:
http://ganatomy.podbean.com/2010/03/26/ganatomy-heartcast-3-life-with-jickle/



Had a listen last night. Seemed much improved from your first podcast, with everyone talking much more naturally.

Also, tried to listen to the Mega64 podcast. Couldn't get thought the first 5 minutes. Sounded like guys desperately trying to be funny, and completely failing. I'll probably give it another shot sometime, because I'm obviously missing something.

[JubeiSaotome]

Cheers for the feedback :D

This. So. Lame. 'HAHA POO JOKES WHEEEE' Yeah, no thanks.

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

Yeah I didn't bother with it.

And now Giant Bomb are using Durgers, I see no reason to ever go back!

Been listening to the Blow Parade which is done by Andrew and Chris of the Chaser. Takes the piss out of music, the music industry and radio. Its a good bunch of laughs.
