Great to see this forum going.
Current subscriptions
Chillpak Hollywood Hour - podcast from Dean Haglund, Langley from the X Files...some ramblings about TV, entertainment, comedy and current events.
From Our Own Correspondent - checking in with BBC reporters posted around the world.
Kermode and Mayo's Film Reviews - always listen to this. The stand ins, Body and Floyd, are a bit on the dull side. They just don't have the raw enthusiasm needed, though they've improved a little. Kermode does tend to repeat the 'and it's X minutes longer 2001 in which we go from the birth of mankind...' line a little too often now. It seems a bit off the point and irrelevant when drawing a comparison to a beast of a blockbuster, particularly if it's a stupidly offensive one. In his defence, I think people put too much of an emphasis on expecting a rant and things work a bit better when the rants emerge on the fly or even when he likes things that people don't expect.
NPR It's All Politics - a good weekly summary of some of the political events/scene in the US. Two knowledgeable hosts with an informative if a little irreverent take on politics.
NPR - Foreign Dispatch - similar to FOOC
This American Life - the high watermark for radio, perhaps? Ira Glass is a dude.
Wireless Express Show - more film and TV talk.
Occasionally dip into
Galatic Watercooler - three sci-fi geeks talk about sci-fi - films, TV, there's a bit of waffle and they are a bit self-congratulatory, but it's generally good fun.
BBC Radio 4 Friday Night Comedy - mainly listened in '08/'09
Documentary on One - RTE's radio documentary series. A variety of stuff here - personal stories, historical events.
On Point from WBUR - panel discussion on various topics. I'd listen to Liveline if it were closer to this.
Radiolab -should really try this again.
The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe - debunking some scientific myths/pop science silliness.
No longer running
BBC - Americana. This recently ended, I'll miss it...interesting slice of America each week.Moderator: Television, Psychology and Dublin County North.

Some I'm enjoying at the moment, with feed URLs (for those of us without Apple devices):
- The Bugle: dropped by The Times, still going great guns on Soundcloud;
- Newsjack: BBC topical comedy with the listeners doing most of the writing;
- Two from Dan Carlin: Common Sense and Hardcore History;
- News from Lake Woebegon: Garrison Keillor's long-running comic monologue from A Prairie Home Companion, about a small town where "all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above-average".
You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
―Oscar Wilde predicting Social Media, in The Picture of Dorian Gray

[*]Empire Magazine podcast. Good magazine, good pod. I’m slightly in love with Helen O’Haras voice.
Yes, she's lovely.
I'm not a subscriber to the podcast, but listen to a few minutes here and there.jack presley wrote: »Any fans of NPR's Car Talk podcast?
I heard about this a few years ago, it's fun. I listen via WBUR, not all the time, but iirc, it's on Sunday nights Irish time.

From Our Own Correspondent
NPR's Planet Money and Education. Was disappointed when they stopped It's All Politics.
Real Time with Bill Maher - sometimes tedious digs and so on, but generally entertaining.
On Point with Tom Ashbrook - Feels like an actual conversation and now just rabble.Moderator: Television, Psychology and Dublin County North.
