My Podcast Subscriptions: A Compleat Listing

Tiffany listed hers, and I started to answer in the comments, but it’s a long list. Feel free to share your favorites (with me and with Tiffany).

  • Addicted to Race — Race and the media. Started out with focus on mixed race and has evolved a little to encompass race in general.
  • alt.NPR: Benjamen Walker’s Theory of Everything — “An ongoing attempt at understanding the many diverse and seemingly unrelated threads that make up the human experience.” Pretty entertaining. Hasn’t been an update in a while.
  • Amanda Congdon on ABCnews.com
  • AmandaAcrossAmerica — Done broadcasting, due to the podcast right above this one, but I haven’t watched them all yet.
  • APM: Future Tense — “Public radio’s daily journal of the digital age.”
  • APM: Marketplace Money — The weekend personal finance show.
  • APM: Marketplace Money Money Clip — Occasional videoblog. Sounds pretty much like anything else from Marketplace, only your watching it. Might drop this one.
  • Chasing Windmills — Locally produced four-minute daily soap opera.
  • Commonwealth Club Radio Program — I occasionally hear a Commonwealth Club speech on NPR and I always love it, so it was great to find out they podcast them all.
  • Faculty Lectures – Best of Philosophy Talk — Downloaded, but I haven’t listened to any eps yet. Thought it would be a good primer on the subject, but I’m a little wary that it’ll be boring/over my head.
  • Financial Aid Podcast — I don’t have a financial aid need, but Christopher Penn includes some decent personal finance tips in there and he’s also big into the podcasting scene in general.
  • Flak Radio — Weekly radio show from Flak Mag.
  • Grey’s Anatomy Official Podcast
  • In Our Time — From BBC Radio. “The big ideas which form the intellectual agenda of our age are illuminated by some of the best minds.” Haven’t listened to this one yet, either.
  • Jetset Show — “A five-minute weekly youth culture show on the web featuring cool, weird, fun, geeky, underground, true-to-life, curious, quirky things and people found online and off.” Somewhere between Sesame Street and Wonder Showzen.
  • JohnEdwards.com — So I can start finding out what the guy has to say. His website offers RSS feeds for all the different sections.
  • Learn Spanish with Coffee Break Spanish — Just found it, so I haven’t tried it yet. I like to keep practicing, even if just a little.
  • Michael Feldman’s Whad’Ya Know? — All the news that isn’t.
  • Minnesota Stories — Local community videoblog.
  • NCAA DoubleACast — Podcasts from the NCAA.
  • NPR: Story of the Day
  • NPR: Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! — One of my faves.
  • NYT: David Pogue — Tech writer for the NYT. This one’s new, too, and I’m kind of expecting to get bored with it, but I’ll try it out.
  • On The Media — “Compelling radio that examines the impact of media in our lives.” The ep from Xmas week was a hilarious parody of themselves/NPR.
  • Out On The Stoop – Videoblog. “A web guide and conversation generator for newbies, concerned citizens and the group mind.” Only seen a handful of videos. Jury’s still out.
  • Rocketboom
  • Slate Explainer Podcast — I can’t decide which is more entertaining: Slate’s Explainer column, or June Thomas reading with her accent which I think is some sort of British variety, but possibly some regional accent that I’m not used to hearing.
  • Starring Amanda Congdon — One of her personal projects.
  • Start the Week — Pop culture from the British point of view.
  • Steve Pavlina’s Personal Development Blog — AMAZING.
  • The L Word — Showtime’s official podcast.
  • The Planet: The Podcast for L Word Fans — Hilarious. More so if you actually watch the show. KC and Elka have a conversation which is a little insidery without being at all alienating. And they’re just funny.
  • This American Life

    Hey Erica, thanks for listing Addicted to Race here! I also love listening to The Planet – the only thing I don’t get is, why do they love Alice so much? It seems like the hosts AND their listeners love Alice. Am I the only one who finds her insufferably annoying?? :)

    I don’t quite find Alice insufferable, but I certainly don’t adore her the way everyone else seems to. She kinda lost me when they dragged out the weird Dana obsession stuff (although they did redeem her when Dana got sick).
