List: Podcasts I listen to

To celebrate the fact that I’m up to date on all my podcasts. In alphabetical order, from iTunes:

* [1UP FM](http://www.1up.com). Weekly review of new game releases and previews.

* [1UP Yours](http://www.1up.com). 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](http://www.coverville.com). One of the best music podcasts out there, dedicated (duh) to cover songs.

* [Crikey](http://www.crikey.com.au). Production needs some work, but still some interesting political commentary from some of the people behind the newsletter.

* [Downloadable Content](http://www.penny-arcade.com). 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](http://www.escapepod.org). 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](http://www.gdgt.com). Gadget nerd podcast. Lots of discussion of new cell phones and such.

* [Irregular Podcast](http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/). Pretty much impossible to describe. Weird and insane.

* [Joystiq](http://www.joystiq.com). Computer and console games discussion.

* [Lan party](http://www.1up.com). PC games discussion.

* [Lyrics Undercover](http://www.lyricsundercover.com/). From the makers of coverville, a 5 min dissection of some song. The only paid subscription podcast I have.

* [Napoleon 101](http://napoleon.thepodcastnetwork.com). 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](http://www.thetalkshow.net). 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.
