Lily Valley Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Hello the board! I have been spending more time at home for a variety of reasons. This has led me to listening to more Podcasts. What are your favorites? I've got Amazon's Echo arriving on the sixth of April. Any advice on using her to organize my current podcasts would also be appreciated.

I have no idea what Amazon Echo is but on Android I would say the AntennaPod app is definitely the best way to organise them. There are so many popular podcast apps that are just utter trash.

Myshkin Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Welcome to Night Vale - seriously this is awesome. Alice Isn't Dead - new podcast from the makers of Night Vale. And I'll second Myths and Legends, really cool stuff. Also you can get good SFF short stories from Clarkesworld and Beneath Ceaseless Skies, and great literary short stories from The New Yorker (these are really cool because not only are the written by famous authors, but are also read by other famous authors).

I'm having some trouble with a couple of the narrators from Welcome to the Night Vale, but ALICE is so good I've already listened to the first two episodes twice and my shirt is on the way. 21 minutes ago, Gears of the Beast said: I have no idea what Amazon Echo is but on Android I would say the AntennaPod app is definitely the best way to organise them.

I think the echo is compatible with most platforms, but I won't know until it gets here and I have to talk to it. 39 minutes ago, -Ghost- said: The Joe Rogan Experience History on Fire The Fighter and the Kid Myths and Legends The Church of What's Happening Now These are all new for me. Thank you, I will be using my broom much more often than the vacuum this month around the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AncalagonTheBlack Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Channel 33 They have various podcasts but i tune in to 'The Watch' featuring Andy Greenwald and Chris Ryan (ex-Grantland staff).They mostly do tv shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiDisaster Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I use BeyondPod on Android to keep track of all mine. Some of my favorites: Smodcast Shut Up & Sit Down (board games) Sword & Scale (true crime) Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me (American panel show) The Unbelievable Truth (English panel show) This Is Actually Happening (short, first person accounts of bizarre or unsettling experiences. For example the first episode is 'What if your boyfriend lit himself on fire') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l2 0 5 5 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I regularly listen to Nerdist and Bill Simmons. I passively listen to Serial. Just started getting into the Jonah Keri podcast. The Moth is also pretty interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave Welcome to Nightvale another shot by starting with the pilot. I think my problem was a style thing and going to give it a few more episodes. The premise is great.

Lily Valley Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 Ok, I got my new Echo and have been struggling to boss it around. I am still looking for a good app for podcast organization that is compatible with it. I will update again over the weekend when I have more time.

Fez Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I listen to podcasts the old fashioned way. I subscribe to the ones I like on iTunes and hit the refresh button once each morning to download all the latest episodes. Every couple of days I hook up my old iPod classic to my computer to sync up and to get the new ones onto it. I mostly listened to them on the iPod, but sometimes I'll do PC listening while I'm playing a video game. And I have my iTunes set to never delete from my PC episodes I've already listened to (except for the real topical ones, like sports and pop culture ones). No apps, no streaming, no fuss. Everything is just alphabetical, and my iPod only has new episodes I haven't heard yet. Some of my favorites are: Channel 33 The Bill Simmons Podcast The Giant Beastcast The Giant Bombcast Comedy Bang Bang Spontaneanation Superego Never Not Funny The Dead Authors Podcast How Did This Get Made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Bill Burr's Monday Morning Podcast (also Thursday Podcast, he does 2 a week) I'll second Marc Maron's WTF podcast. He gets some great guests and is a very good interviewer. Greg Fitzsimmons Fitzdog Radio podcasts. All are kind of Stand-up comic centric, but both Maron and Fitzsimmons feature guests from all over the Entertainment spectrum. Burr doesn't typically have guests, he just kind of rants about his everyday life and his travels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While they are a bit hit and miss, when they are on they are fucking hilarious. Some really talented improv going on here, and the host is an accomplished straight man. Just got through "Personal Trainer Bill Carter" parts one and two. Laugh out loud funny. Thanks for the rec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lily Valley Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 I'm late to the party and just started Within The Wires, another Nightvale Presents podcast. All I have to say is, "WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE????" It's so creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
