9 Podcasts I Listen to Regularly, How About You?
I think I was late getting to the Podcast rally. Now that I have my iPhone/iPod, I’ve been making time for more podcasts in recent months. Thought I’d throw together a listing of some of my fave podcasts, complete with links to iTunes.
Shameless Plug
Clearly, the best podcast you can subscribe to is this little show called SecondHand Radio. Yeah, OK, it’s my show. I have a different guest each week and it’s an hour of fun conversation about anything and everything. The show is customized for each guest and there’s no set topic, but I think it’s entertaining to listen to.
Just last night, I had Karl Erikson as a guest. Not me, another Karl Erikson. Had a ton of fun learning about my better-looking doppleganger. He’s clearly living the life.
Friends You Should Be Listening To
Clearly, You’re Retarded. It’s Miss Britt and Adam Avitable going at it every week. A point/counterpoint type of show, there’s a controversial topic each week and Britt and Adam screech at each other for 60 minutes. Well, Britt does the screeching. Adam just laughs out loud on the inside and says, “Yeah?” a lot while Britt screams, “Are you fucking KIDDING me?!”
Lick! Slam! Suck! – the unofficial TequilaCon podcast. Granted, not everyone is going to TequilaCon, even though they should. But with Santa Fe only a week away, Dawg’s and Poppy’s podcast is a great way to get yourself acquainted with NM before you get there. (Sorry, can’t find the iTunes link, but the link above will get you to the Talkshoe page for the show.)
Podcasts I Listen to Regularly
This Week in Tech (TWiT). Full of weekly geeky goodness. All the tech/gadget news you can handle with Leo Laporte and weekly guests. Great show.
Today in iPhone. It is what the title indicates, only important if you have an iPhone. Lots of good information, including weekly app reviews.
Wordpress Weekly. More geeky goodness. Wordpress users only need apply.
The Official LOST Podcast. The creators/producers of “Lost” get together for regular podcasts during the viewing season. Some are just a few minutes long, some are half an hour. Most contain Q&A from fans. I love this show.
Stuff You Should Know. Totally off the wall at times, this is the podcast from the site HowStuffWorks.com. This show presents a different topic each time, some of them quite eclectic. Some recent titles include:
- Do Toads Cause Warts?
- Bizarre Ways to Die.
- How Aphrodisiacs Work.
- How Money Laundering Works.
The Adam Carolla Podcast. Funny, funny guy with great guests. This is a 5-day-a-week podcast and I can’t possibly listen to them all, but when I do, I always enjoy it. Recent guests include Family Guy’s Seth MacFarlane, Larry Miller, Kevin Nealon, and Danica Patrick.
How About You?
What podcasts are in your subscription list? Love to hear from you.

Of course I listen to you, and to Britt and Adam. The only other one I listen to daily is a local radio show that has me laughing out loud every day.
The Dave Glover show is the number 1 rated show in the St. Louis area. http://www.971talk.com/glover/index.aspx

I’m not so much about the podcasts from bloggers, I just don’t have the time to commit to them. I stop if I’m online…
I’m also not good at keep up with my podcasts but do get:
NPR’s Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me.
CBC Radio’s 3 main feed (lots and lots of music perfect for a music geek like me.)
And The Vinyl Cafe for the long runs…

In addition to 2HR, CYR and LSS that you mentioned, I also listen to The Clark Howard Show (syndicated radio) and The 10th Wonder (fan-based discussion of NBC’s Heroes). I also have some podcasts on learning Spanish and German, but I haven’t listened to those in months.

On top of your podcast/radio show, I also listen to Adam Carolla and TWiT
I also listen to a good amount of Mac related podcasts (Maccast, Mac Break Weekly, Mac OS Ken) and the official Disneyland podcast, which publishes once a month.
