Podcasts

So back in my employed days, instead of listening to silly Rush Linbahhumbug or any other political wingnut. I would focus my listening by using podcasts of people held in much higher esteem  These podcasts are much more focused than the usual radio experience, have no commercials, you can curse, and you can start and stop them and never miss a second if your that focused.  Here is a brief list of what I have podcasts I have been listening to over the past year or so.

The Adam Carolla Podcast - Yeah, everybody has their own opinion about the guy.  But, a radio station in CA cut his radio show so he went to the interweb, guess what, it is now one of the top 5 most popular podcast downloads on iTunes.  He likes to cuss so be careful if attempting to listen at work.


B.S. Report - This is my favorite ESPN writer, Bill Simmons, taking over the podcast world.  Since he started doing podcasts around 2 or 3 years ago, his writing output has decreased dramatically, for better or worse.  In my opinion, he is usually ahead of the curve, first being the first successful internet sports writer without much newspaper experience, now he is trying to take the podcast to be the new radio, since newspapers, magazines and radio are dead.  His topics are typically what he writes about sports, (specifically Boston sports) pop culture, Teen Wolf, Three Ninjas, and gambling.  What more would an unemployed hack like myself want.


NPR Music - They have a lot of good, new artists on there in live concert settings as well as good programs with DJs, its also very easy to to listen to and focus, it has 0 distractions.


Pardon the Interruption - My overall favorite sportswriter, Tony Kornheiser, and Michael Wilbon's TV show in podcast form.  Works really well because most people are not home from work yet when it airs at 5:30pm.


Club Trillion Podcast - A college kid on a large D-1 basketball team that never plays talks about college, basketball, and pop culture.  Still very inexperienced in podcast game and rambles a little too much, but an interesting listen sometimes.


If you have any podcasts to reccomend please leave comments.
