    I've a long drive back to Cork later and I'm looking for Podcast suggestions.

    The Joe Rogan Experience is my usual go to, he interviews a nice wide variety of people and had a nice balance of famous names on his show and people who you never heard of but prove to very interesting anyway.

    There's No Such Thing As A Fish.
    Athletico Mince.
    BBC4 In Our Time.
    RHLSTP (RHLSTP!)
    Adam Buxton Podcast.

    To name a few.

    Dan Carlin's Hardcore History - Brilliant history podcast with over 50 available for free. Loads of different topics and the guy is infectiously interested in history.

    Flintoff, Savage & the ping pong guy - Robbie Savage, Freddie Flintoff and some ping pong dude talking about all sorts of things, sports, life, love, friendships. Don't be offput by Savage being on it. It's literally laugh out loud stuff with some of the stories the guys tell. My new favourite thing. Would be good even if you're not too interested in sports.

    The GAA hour - Colm Parkinson and a few other guys. Easily the best GAA or even any sports podcast out there.

    Off the Ball - just listening back to parts of the show I like and miss because I'm at work.


    I also DL the second captains but I just find it hard to listen to them so I'd want to be badly stuck for that to get a spin.

    Joe Rogan is an enourmous pain the arse, full of his macho bluster - if he ever starts talking about a subject you might know something about, just marvel at him mangle it. But he can get some interesting guests. Just thread carefully with him.

    Depends what you are into OP:

    Dan Carlin's Hardcore History is good, long and thorough.

    Radiolab

    Casefile is, as mentioned, excellent.

    There's just too many to be mentioned here.

    Perhaps try the Podcast forum -

    +1 for No Such Thing as A Fish

    It's from the QI television programme team, they go through their favorite 5 facts of the week.

    Was hoping for episodes on Madeline McCann, JonBenét Ramsey, OJ Simpson etc on there but the majority of them seem quite obscure.

    I think it's a nice topic for AH. Not a lot of people will venture into the podcast forum. I've been listening to them for a while and I still don't so bringing some of the best ones to a general audience is no harm.

    I'll have to have a try with casefile. Seen it mentioned a few places. Not sure it'll be my bag but worth a go anyway.

    Dean Del Ray "Let There Be Talk" I like.

    I pick and choose from the sports ones. Totally went off them talking for an hour about an incident in a game. Something they could get out of the way in 10 minutes.
    A lot of smugness around some of the podcasts.
    Sunday paper reviews can be good on off the ball.
    Dunphy is hit and miss, but predictable.
    Guardian football one is good at times, but I don't watch or follow football enough to justify tuning into it.
    Marc Maron depending on who he has on.

    Anything as good on the Apple store for organizing Podcasts? Podcast Addict seems to be Android only.

    Absolutely, great topic for After Hours, just pointing out that there is a podcast forum that the OP may find useful!

    It's a weird one, their talented guys with good instincts but without the discipline live radio imposed upon them, I think they've increasingly lost their way.

    Listen to them less & less myself.

    This used to be great when it first started. I bailed as soon as they started doing 10 hour Podcasts on the Vatican that was mostly all off topic and meandering.

    Oh yeah that's usually the way for playing single episodes. I'm sure there must be a cooler way of organizing them on iPhones though.

    Just had a google.

    They recommend a free app called overcast but I can't say if it's good or bad.

    Casefile is fantastic.

    Also I'm liking the Eamonn Dunphy podcast lately.

    Also all the Irish sports pods are pretty good.

    True crime garage is also good as is cold case files, unresolved etc.

    Insufferable stuff. I always imagine that a few of them did stints as Boards moderators. All unfunny in-jokes and long, meandering posts.

    Casefile
    Ross O'Carroll Kelly
    50 Things that Made the Modern Economy
    RTE Documentary on One
    99% Invisible
    GAA Hour
    The Economist Podcast

    Sorry, just saw this.

    NSTAAF was answered earlier.

    https://athleticomince.com/

    But Athletico Mince is Bob Mortimer (of Vic and Bob... "urano oovaavoo", Shooting Stars fame), and not sure who the second guy is. But it's just hilarious banter between the two.

    Of course, I'm going to preempt any naysayers by stating that comedy is of course subjective and others might find it awful!
