Podcast Discussion
As I mentioned before, I've been listening to a lot of podcasts lately. Here's my current list:
EscapePod - Sci-fi "podcast magazine" and one of the best podcasts on the internet (if you like audio science fiction short stories, anyways). Went through all the back episodes, there were quite a few even back when I first discovered it.
Podcastle - Another podcast from that family, this one for fantasy. Also high quality.
clonepod - Basically a clone of Escape Pod, done by some kids. The intros and outros are rambley and a bit annoying (at least so far as I've seen, I'm working through back-episodes since there are only a few). Still, I want to see where they go with it, and the stories are great. In particular, they got some new Union Dues stories by Jeffrey DeRego (a favorite series I first encountered on EscapePod). Haven't heard all the back episodes, since there's just too much.
Cory Doctorow's Podcast - Cory Doctorow podcasts a lot of his short fiction in progress, and it's really good. Episodes of other podcasts in which Doctorow is interviewed are often pulled into the feed. Took quite a while to listen to the back-episodes.
C-Realm Podcast - The C stands for "consciousness". Philosophy, ramblings, and interviews by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kmo. Calm and eclectic. Can get a bit new-agey for my taste, sometimes, but it's thought-provoking, interesting. Have not gone through the back episodes because it's far too much. Only went a few episodes back when I first added it.
Barack Obama's Podcast - Was very good (wish all legislators did something like this), but he hasn't posted anything for quite a while.
This Week in Tech - A panel-style talk show. Didn't bother with back-episodes, since it's current-events discussion and there's a lot of it.
I feel I haven't even scratched the surface with podcasts, though. There's so much good amateur and new professional material, and even some of the old radio players are archiving and podcasting their stuff now (NPR's doing that).
So, how about you? Do you listen to podcasts? What are your favorites?
