    Yep, listened to them all a month or so back. It'll be interesting to see (hear) where they go with the next season, given how the last one ended.

    Richard herrings ME1 vs ME2....nothing to do with Mass effect, just one man playing himself at snooker and refereing and commentating and co commentating.
    Fucking mental. Btw it starts slowly but gets really exciting later on.

    I used to quite like this, but they ramble a lot and neither are that funny to be honest, also they spend A LOT of time plugging stuff.

    Adam and Joe is easily better. and very similar.

    Any Comedy Button fans listen to/watch their recent Alcoholocaust episode? Definitely one of my favourite podcasts that i've seen/heard this year.

    Anyone recommend any good podcasts for motivation/self-help and that kind of thing? I've been having a listen to a few but none seem to be what I am looking for.

    Uhh Yeah Dude has become my new favourite podcast. Just two guys talking to each other. Brilliant chemistry between the both of them. Love the little clips they have on youtube aswell.

    @MistaGav - jog :-)

    My recommendations are Dr Karl science phone-in if only for daft questions and the Bugle naturally. Now i'm a dad i get to listen to about one of those a week. Though I hear podcasts + euro truck simulator is a good mix.

    Thanks for uh yeah dude bill, very funny, but now I've listened to a lot I swear all the time..
  • Deleted user 28 October 2013 09:23:22
    Any recommendations for daily news updates 30 mind to an hour long? Take the dog for an hour walk every morning and figured it is a perfect time to catch up. Tried a few BBC ones but they waste too much time on nonsense I don't care about.

    Currently listening to Grayson Perry's Reith lectures -Playing to the Gallery- which are interesting, educational and fun. I've not paid any attention to the guy or his work before. He reminds me of John Lydon.
  • Deleted user 20 November 2013 23:19:53
    Those lectures are great. I only wish they were longer and there were more of them. He has a lot of interesting things to say and pokes fun at a lot of people.

    I've been listening to Now Playing podcast at work, they have reviews of recent films as well as series wide retrospectives (especially in horror).

    Entire Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween etc.

    Thoroughly enjoying Neil deGrasse Tyson's Star Talk podcast. Would definitely recommend.

    Has anyone ever listened to Welcome to Night Vale? Any good?

    I've been told Night Vale is quite good.

    I'm going on a long-ish train journey tomorrow and I'm getting some podcasts together for the first time. I sometimes listen to things on the actual sites, but I've never bothered to subscribe before. Using iTunes, I've currently subscribed to:

    The Bugle (although I've just noticed their last one was a while ago, is seven minutes long, and is "an announcement", which doesn't bode well. I can enjoy the back catalogue, I guess)
    RA Exchange (I usually just download the actual podcast off the site if it looks good)
    WTF with Marc Maron
    Football Weekly (listen on-and-off anyway)
    Comedy Bang Bang
    The Dissolve Podcast

    Any other recommendations would be cool. Looking for things where it's just people talking, really. Stuff on comedy, music, movies, football, books all appreciated. I'd prefer it to generally be fairly light-hearted though, don't really want an hour of serious news discussion or anything.

    If any one is playing or recently finished Valiant Hearts I highly recommend Hardcore History,Dan has recently did a 3part series on WW1,series is called passport to Armageddon
  • Deleted user 4 July 2014 14:28:29
    I second that. Hardcore History is indeed well worth a listen. They are fairly irregular but it's understandable given their length (2 - 3 hours).

    I have also been listening to Approaching The Natural, a weekly podcast by Sid Garza Hillman. May be helpful for people who want to eat more healthily or adopt new habits etc. The main focus is about making small, low stress changes. The guy is a vegan so believes that eating fruit and veg is good but he doesn't evangelise or push that aspect of it very hard.

    I find Night Vale to be awful, adolescent stuff.

    Some others you might want to check out:

    Stuff You Should Know
    Three Moves Ahead [if you like strategy games]
    Planet Money
    This American Life
    Radiolab
    The Flophouse

    The last two on that list are my absolute favourites.

    Film Junk is a very good podcast for film geeks. As with all podcasts it takes a bit of getting to know the cast, but when you do it's a delight.

    For people that are interested in current affairs, as well as political and economic theory (I know there will be so many here right?!?) the LSE lecture series are very good..

    People should also listen to my brother my brother and me and idle thumbs! :D
