Who listens to them?
Only recently have I began downloading and listening to podcasts. I usually just download them to my phone and listen to it when I'm out walking my dog (read:watching her obliterate sticks while I smoke a joint) by the river.
It started out with Ricky Gervais' (plus his old radio stuff), then I found Marc Marons WTFpod, and I love it tbh. So many good interviews with alot of people I have respect for.
I also enjoy what I've heard from the SModcast network. I've caught a few episodes of Jay & SIlent Bob grow old (or something along those lines) and the ABCs of SNL with Jon Lovitz.
So, what podcasts do you listen to, and when and where? |

Listening while walking, doing house chores or while driving by myself long distances (get bored with music).
Keith and the Girl - Been listening to this one for about 5 years. Quite good and funny, though lately its sometimes very painfull to listen. Dont know if its because ive grown up a bit since i started listening or that the host changed for the worst over time, but sometimes their ignorance about certain things and retarted opinions are just too much. Still listening to it though. Show goes out 5 times per week.
Galactic Watercooler - Started about as a podcast about Battlestar Galactica, now its about everything sci-fi.
1Up.coms Retronauts - podcast about classic games, sometimes with interviews with people that worked on classic titles. Good fun and interesting insight abot the game industry.
Nature podcast - ifficial podcast of the Nature magazine. Latest in sience discoveries in podcast form.
Startalk - This one is hosted by Neil Degrasse Tyson. Nuff said.
Exploration - Science again! But this time with dr. Michio Kaku
Mad Money with Jim Cramer - Because one day that man will either have a hear attack or go completely insane during a show and god damnit im not going to miss that!!! Wonder if people will notice or will just think hes tring to make some point or another about stocks. |

Many (almost all) of those Atheist Experience tv shows are available on their own site
http://www.atheist-experience.com/archive/?full=1#table
Thats a lot of viewing to catch up on. I am subscribed to their podcast, but i prefer to watch the show rather than listen, so i usually watch it when they upload it to youtube. |

Podcast listening is easier. :) Many MP3 players have a "fast" option that plays 50% faster than the actual recording, so you can get through them quite a lot faster. |

What do you think of the premium wtf-accts/apps? I've yet to go through all of the free ones, but I'm running out, and I'm hoping I'll find the older ones on somewhere for free, for nothing appeals less to me than a ing app to stream/download with when I got a fully functioning browser on my phone. Besides, I normally download them on my computer then transfer them to my phone.
Aanyways, You should check out Kevin Smiths smodcasts too. Pretty much the same atmosphere and tempo as the wtfpod, only alot of them has an audience. www.smodcast.com |

haven't heard the premium ones. Don't have any smart phone and I'm too cheap to buy them. I have been looking for them for free, but no luck |
