Podcast Extravaganza

// July 31st, 2008 // Entertainment

So yes. Podcasts. People talking on the internet for you to listen to at your leisure. Included is a link to their iTunes interface, and RSS feed, if iTunes isn’t your thing. The Bugle John Oliver and Andy Zaltzman skewer the headlines with a wonderful British wit. iTunes / RSS You Look Nice Today Hosted by Merlin Mann (hotdogsladies), a productivity guru and general nerd originally from Florida gets together Adam Lisagor (lonelysandwhich) and Scott Simpson (scottsimpson) to basically shoot the shit and brainstorm about off the wall topics, such as the pedophilia rampant in the game of chess, designing a signature drink (The Aunt Nancy, it has a chicken wing attached to it) and what to do with the elderly in America. This is pretty much the bizarre conversations my friends and I have, but consistently funnier. iTunes / RSS

This American Life A wonderful program that most folks already know of that I recently discovered, This American Life collects stories from across the nation. Some are educational, others bizzare and hilarious. Others are both endearing and heartbreaking. You never know what topic will be discussed by host Ira Glass. iTunes / RSS

There’s three for now, I’ll periodically add more to this list as I find the time to check out others. If you already subscribe or just wanna call me a fag, feel free to comment.
