I’ve been getting a bunch of e-mails/tweets asking about specific podcasts I’ve mentioned on the /Filmcast, so I thought I’d put together a brief post compiling them all. I listen to a lot of podcasts, not just for enjoyment, but because I think it’s important to figure out what makes shows work (or not work), and try to incorporate lessons learned into my own show(s).
I don’t listen to each of these every single week, but they’re all in the rotation to some extent on my iPhone. Links to reviews if I have them (otherwise I link to iTunes listing). In no particular order:
- Battleship Pretension
- KCRW’s The Business
- Now Playing
- Extra Hot Great
- The Bugle
- The Q&A with Jeff Goldsmith
- Filmspotting
- Pop Culture Happy Hour
- Fresh Air
- Movie B.S.
- NPR’s Story of the Day
- NPR’s Sunday Puzzle
- On the Media
- TEDTalks
- Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me
- Real Time with Bill Maher
- Risk!
- This American Life
- Radiolab
- WTF with Marc Maron
- This Is My Next Podcast
- How Did This Get Made
- The Adam Carolla Show
I may be leaving out a few, but that’s the bulk of them. I realize there are a lot of excellent shows that aren’t on this list, but sometimes you have to make difficult decisions in order to survive the pop culture landscape.
