    Listened to an episode of The Writers Panel on Nerdist.

    Well, it would be more accurate to say that I tried to listen. Maybe the worst case I've ever heard of a pod filled with people who love, love, absolutely adore the sound of their own voice. They all sounded very knowledgeable and all, but after about five minutes of them screeching and honking over each other, I had to bail. It was bad.

    Does anyone else find this problem with a lot of US pop culture pods? They can be full of interesting aspects, but in at least 50% of them, the sound of whoever is behind the mic banging on eventually drives me demented.

    I will listen to The Writers Panel as background noise. I always want to be interested, especially when it's someone who works on a show I like. You can tell these people are writers.......for the most part they all like the spark or charisma needed for an oral/ aural medium.

    I've justed started listening to the Presidential podcast. It goes through each US president week by week and tells their story.

    I have only listened to the first few but I am finding it hugely enjoyable.

    Big fan of Sword and Scale. I saw another poster mention it. Really well put together show. On another note...Anyone else not get into season two of serial?



    Never got into series 2 of Serial I was so disappointed

    Love Sword and Scale or rather loved it - lately its annoying me how much he goes on about needing Patreon

    Also love Casefile - Australian guy very easy to listen to

    Finished Season 1 of Tanis. Found it to be a bit of a mixed bag. I enjoyed it more in the beginning when they were setting out the mystery, especially the way they tried to link it into real world history. But as it went on it got very convoluted, and a lot of the twists weren't as surprising as the writer thought, and in some cases were blatantly obvious. Is also let down by poor voice acting in places.

    One i'm finding really good is http://www.sodajerker.com/ it's a couple of song writers from liverpool chatting to other song writers just about song writing. Some really good guests including Paul Simon but one interview i really liked was with Eg White who has written/co-writen some big songs.

    Anna Farris is unqualified.

    Here's the thing with Alec Baldwin.

    Science VS is excellent. As is Reply All. Really should try more of the Gimlet podcasts.

    The latest one with Michael Stipe is excellent (may be biased as I'm a huge REM fan)

    I finished Accused, just 8 episodes. Good, sad. Quite like Serial in its delivery, format and structure.

    From Our Own Correspondent - BBC. The bit about female genital mutilation was horrifying, particularly since it was done by women.

    Same here. Assume you heard of it from Reply All which is another great podcast? Listened to the first Crimetown and it's good, I've subscribed.
    For anyone who hasn't listened, it a true crime documentary style podcast about the mafia run city of Providence, Rhode Island and how even the mayor was involved with organised crime.

    Crimetown is fairly good but, holey moley, there is a lot of ads.

    How Did This Get Made Ep 149 - Lawnmower Man.

    Pretty great episode. I remember hating Lawnmower Man when it came out - this brought back lots of hilarious memories.

    Questions for Lennon is back for another season on the Howl App. Listened to the first two today. Both solid.

    If you like Mike Hanford's Lennon character and his ramblings then this is great stuff. Although still not as good as when Lennon appears on Comedy Bang Bang.

    I don't like the impression, but the character is great.

    Do you reckon the widow Howl App is worth $5 a month?

    I find it's pretty good - a few worthwhile series on it and they are putting new stuff on it all the time. Give it a go for the free month and see what you reckon.

    As for the Lennon impression - half the fun is how terrible an impression it is. The first CBB episodes he was on as the character, Hanford clearly didn't have a clue about Lennon himself at all. I really enjoy him - the rambling far-too detailed stories are brilliant.

    Tracks. It's a BBC conspiracy theory drama. Instantly compelling stuff. Can't recommend it highly enough.

    Also another BBC podcast called 50 Things that made the Global Economy. 8 minute episodes about topics like the diesel engine, shipping containers, banks, fertiliser. Again, excellent podcast.

    With the ever worsening radio situation in Ireland, I'm looking for podcasts!

    Listened to "Dubland" for the first time today. At the beginning I thought that the bad language was just unnecessary and annoying. By 10 mins in, I was really laughing properly. Had a couple of great laughs at the stories.

    Will listen again
