List: Podcasts I listen to
January 3rd, 2009To celebrate the fact that I’m up to date on all my podcasts. In alphabetical order, from iTunes:
1UP FM. Weekly review of new game releases and previews.
1UP Yours. Weekly discussion of new games and other video game industry things.
Apple Keynotes. Yes, I’m a fanboy. So sue me.
Battlestar Galactica. The audio quality is normally terrible, but Ronald D Moore’s episode commentary does make up for it.
Coverville. One of the best music podcasts out there, dedicated (duh) to cover songs.
Crikey. Production needs some work, but still some interesting political commentary from some of the people behind the newsletter.
Downloadable Content. The Penny Arcade podcast. Hardly ever updated (they’ve done two since June 2008), but a must listen when they do – a horrifying glimpse inside the minds behind the webcomic.
Escape Pod. A Science Fiction short story podcast. Short SF is a perfect fit for audio, although I seem to end up skipping about half the stories these days for one reason or another.
gdgt weekly. Gadget nerd podcast. Lots of discussion of new cell phones and such.
Irregular Podcast. Pretty much impossible to describe. Weird and insane.
Joystiq. Computer and console games discussion.
Lan party. PC games discussion.
Lyrics Undercover. From the makers of coverville, a 5 min dissection of some song. The only paid subscription podcast I have.
Napoleon 101. A detailed (~45) episode history of Napoleon’s life. Now finished with the main run, and doing some special topics. If you’re interested, start at the start.
Retronauts: History of computer games, going into a different title each week.
The Talk Show. Mac and Apple discussion.
The Biography Show. From the maker’s of Napoleon 101, each episode looks at the life of some historical figure.
Wall Street Journal. Technically pay, as this is a freebie with my Audible.com subscription. The front page and selected stories from the WSJ. A good way to start the day.
