    Just a general thread where you can discuss what the last podcast you listened to was and what you thought of it.

    I listened to SModcast 196 again this morning (last weeks SModcast). They've been on a bit of a roll lately, this episode was great. I appreciate why they put up old live shows they did, so as they aren't off air for a week, but those shows always tend to be weaker. This show was great though. The robot talk was a bit hit and miss, but everything after that, Steve Guttenberg and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (spoilers if you haven't seen it) was brilliant.

    Now going to listen to some Giant Bombcast

    Last one i listened to was Adam Carolla's first live one back after the Christmas break.
    It was his state of the union and about the departure of Donny from ACE Broadcasting.

    Very good episode.

    I dont always agree with his point of views but he is one funny dude.

    Last podcast I listened to was an old episode of Review-a-Wai. Two Canadians review old wrestling shows (sometimes films); giving context and thoughtful discussion in an entertaining package. The one i was listening to last night was reviewing WWF RAW from November 2001, the day after WWF vanquished WCW and Ric Flair returned. I love hearing about these old shows.

    ESPN Football Today. My favourite podcast, it's American Football, not soccer for those who are don't know. Best football podcast bar none.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,238 ✭✭✭✭Diabhal Beag


    Jim Jeffries podcast he does with some awful comedian and a homeless guy. Good for a laugh if you have a dark sense of humor.

    I've fallen behind on it but started listening again. Up to about #13 or so. It's alright, particularly when they have more than just Mike and Ming. Mike has some unreal knowledge of comics though. Issue numbers from the 60's and stuff.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 350 ✭✭bogtreader


    Of the ball show and US murph on Newstalk
    I need to expand my podcasting

    I listened to the Film Sack one about that mental 70's Sean Connery Sci Fi movie Zardoz.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,207 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    Penn Jillette episode of The Nerdist. Listened to this a bunch of times already, but just a really funny, entertaining interview.

    I was listening to the Planet Money podcast the other day and they said the stadium in Dallas cost a billion dollars. A billion? I know it's a big sport and big money, but a billion dollars for a stadium. :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,104 ✭✭✭Swampy


    The infinite monkey cage. A brilliant series of podcasts about science. Professor Brian Cox and lots of comedians etc. highly recOmmend.


  • Registered Users Posts: 65 ✭✭ilmm2012


    The Ray Darcy show on 2fm on Thurs, LIsa was amazing very brave girl


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,445 ✭✭✭Jako8


    A Life Well Wasted - A very thoughtful game podcast. There are only six episodes but they're extremely well made.

    Nerdist - My most regular one, just did a bit of catching up. Great as always.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,599 ✭✭✭ScrubsfanChris


    KPCS with guest Harry Shearer, what a career that guy has had.


  • Registered Users Posts: 655 ✭✭✭marvsins


    The Football Ramble, just one of many podcasts i listen to.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,207 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    The Nerdist - Aisha Tyler

    She was actually a really great guest. Very smart and funny. Had no idea she did stand-up. Might even check out her own podcast, Girl On Guy


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 18,505 CMod ✭✭✭✭The Black Oil


    The Now Show (BBC R4) - Feb 10th.

    Good fun...some spot on observations, I think.

    Listened to the two Jay & Silent Bob Get Old Dublin shows. Was at the first one myself. First one starts off great but leads into a very long story about teeth which isn't that funny. Second show is better all round.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,085 ✭✭✭meoklmrk91


    This American Life, love it so much, plus the iphone app is so handy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,491 ✭✭✭stuchyg


    Hollywod Babble On - great pod every week, Ralph Garman is hilarious, i find myself laughing out loud every time i listen


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,207 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    Plus One #30: Good Dog

    Kevin Smith and his wife talking about their dog that died. Still a pretty funny episode, but there was a bit of crying and shaky voices.... and that was only from Kevin. His wife was solid as a rock.

    Currently listening to Get Up On This #31: w/ Scott Mosier (because I'm a sucker for SModCo shows). Must listen to this podcast more often. pretty good. They discuss things like music, movies, tv, internet etc... things which aren't big yet or that not a lot of people know about, but that they think is worth looking into. Pretty good show


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,491 ✭✭✭stuchyg


    @Penn Mosier is the best thing bout Smod. He has recently recorded a pod with Matt Mira from Nerdist, should be worth a listen when posted


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,273 ✭✭✭racso1975


    Adam corrolla show non stop for about 3 weeks

    Just heard about that on that episode of Get Up On This. Should be good. Mosier has been on amazing form over the last few months on SModcast

    He really is getting better on mic, im a big kev smith fan but Mos needs much more air time. Looking forward to the new Spiderman show he worked on

    This American Life 'Slow to React'.

    Featuring a story of a man who was raped when he was 7 years old. Powerful radio.

    Penn's Sunday school, loved his nerdier podcast so I was happy he came out with his own

    Other than that, Adam Carrolla and Neil Degrass Tyson fill my long commutes


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5 sturner10


    The last one I listened to was Ricky Gervais, Steve Merchant and Karl Pilkington Podcasts...the funniest thing I have ever listened to - actually had to take my headphones out of my iPod in a shop as I was getting funny looks uncontrollably laughing to myself.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1 tipplad92


    The Ricky Gervais show podcasts are one of the funniest things ever!!!!:D
    Karl Pilkington is a genius haha


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,081 ✭✭✭jcf


    +1 on the Ricky Gervais/Pilkington podcasts - hilarious, you should also check out the XFM archives .... even better.


  • Registered Users Posts: 618 ✭✭✭Rael


    Jay and Silent Bob Get old & Smodcast. I really loved the episode where they revealed a darker side to Mr. Scott and what goes down in the engine room of the Enterprise :)


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 18,505 CMod ✭✭✭✭The Black Oil


    BBC Radio 4 Friday Night Comedy. Andrew Maxwell was on this, thought he was OK...maybe a little overexcited.

    Been listening to a few Nerdist and WTF pods I'd downloaded but hadn't gotten around to listening to. Finished Marc Maron on Nerdist this morning and currently on Tenacious D on Nerdist


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,445 ✭✭✭Jako8


    A lot of The Indoor Kids.

    That's a good video game one, Penn. It's part of the Nerdist podcast channel.

    They used to be on pilkipedia.co.uk (Karl Pilkington fan site), but they were taken down. Not sure where you can get them now.

    I just listened to the "DIY" episode of This American Life, the one about Colin Warner who served 21 years in prison for a murder he had nothing to do with. Best thing I've ever heard, very powerful and forcefully moving. Like the "Dear Zachary" of podcasts - definitely recommend that episode and of course This American Life in general.


  • Registered Users Posts: 248 ✭✭ratsam


    Have a listen to Stuff You Should Know from Howstuffworks.com...! Very interesting stuff on there if you you like that kinda thing.

    Also if into photography This Week In Photo is great..!

    Rats


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,207 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    Listened to The Nerdist yesterday where Chris interviewed his father Billy Hardwick on account of it being Father's Day. Actually a really great episode. Billy was very funny and had some great stories. Well worth a listen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,207 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    Started listening to one a friend recommended called "We Hate Movies", where they pick really bad movies and discuss them in a review/synopsis kind of way but just generally making fun of it. Listened to older episodes like Star Wars Phantom Menace and Superman 3&4. Really enjoyable and pretty funny. Can't imagine listening to it every week as I guess it would depend on if you'd seen the movie being discussed or not, but worth checking out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,068 ✭✭✭LoonyLovegood


    Most of the HowStuffWorks podcasts are excellent, particularly a recent episode of Stuff You Should Know ("The Shark Diaries" - a radio play). Also a fan of the Savage Lovecast, as well as NPR's podcasts.


  • Registered Users Posts: 377 ✭✭haydar


    Dan Carlin's Hardcore History and Radiolab are very excellent.
    The Irish History is also good and is always improving.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 18,505 CMod ✭✭✭✭The Black Oil


    The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe Podcast #372.

    They had a report about some conspiracy nuts. Man, those guys are just off the wall, heavy dose of confirmation bias doing the rounds, methinks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 180 ✭✭cozski


    I've been listening to Dan & Fab on Linux Outlaws for some time now and if you like a relaxed and irreverent approach to tech (particularly Linux, Open Source, gadgets).... they usually throw a tune or 2 in from Dan's 20lb Sounds band.

    Chillpak Hollywood Hour - some good banter on the 2009/J.J. Abrams version of Star Trek and the state of film/TV/too much choice.
