I listen to podcast 90% of the time when I run. Just did 6.5 miles today listening to ESPN: Football Today.
Check out Episode 155 - Dino Stamatopoulos. That is some dark, funny ####.
I haven't heard the Bourdain episode but I agree with this about Rogan's podcast. I wanted to like it but he dominates the conversation quite a bit and it's all over the place. It's just a mess.
I stopped listening after I barely made it through the first episode and the 45 Tracy Morgan impressions, only to tune into the second one and hear the same impressions. It was somewhat funny the first time or two, not so much after that.
Could never find my groove with Maron. I'm sure he's a good stand up guy but I got tired of his podcast pretty quickly. Too much name dropping and back in the day stuff that requires prior knowledge of who he is referring to because he only uses first names.
Some good ones listed here. Stuff you should know is another in my rotation.Do a search as there is a great thread out there with lots of interesting options.
Some are very occasional (Historyzine and Carlin one hour per quarter or so), some are short (Lalas, Onion), some reach the end of their story and stop (the Byzantine one is about 12 40-minute episodes total, Sigler books are maybe 30 40-minute episodes total). I get 60 minutes of drive time, ~45 minutes of lunch, 20 minutes between showering and leaving in the morning, 90 minutes total driving time once per week for indoor soccer... and if I'm programming or doing CAD work, I can function just fine with some podcasts while working.Occasionally, I go on the road for work. When that happens, I'll binge and catch up. Last week, I drove 8 hours to a site, walked on a treadmill in the evenings, and drove 8 hours back. That was a lot of pods.There are some things that annoy me too much to tolerate in a podcast - young female NPR hosts have a cadence to their speech that drives me insane, sports radio voice is odious, and overproduction can drive me off as well (Radiolab).I'll have to check out the movie podcasts once I prune a couple I'm currently listening to - I think I've heard just about everything Kevin Smith has to say.
We're an acquired taste on Thursday nights,
.I'll second the nominations for RadioLab (a wide-ranging science podcast with popular themes) and This American Life and The Moth. You should also add the Shutdown Corner podcast to your inseason list - the preview shows with Greg Cosell are outstanding and I think generally done better than the FantasyGuru Cosell previews. Was also turned on to the Marc Maron WTF podcast in the other thread, his interviews with people in the comedy and entertainment industry have been really good.
Sorry, I failed at searching. I did try.
No worries. Looks like a new HH episode is available today. 
Also intrigued by the Norman podcast you suggested.
I agree, I listen to at 3-4 episodes a week. Always entertaining.
If you're a Game of Thrones fan, be sure to watch the /Filmcast podcast about the show. I don't know many people that watch it, so it's like sitting in listening to a smart conversation about the series.'KarmaPolice said:
I am sure it was jdogg that suggested this one to me. The overuse of "like" drives me nuts sometimes, but it's a great show with a lot of good guests. I think you two, or any other movie fan, would dig the Now Playing podcast as well.

The new HH is 4 hours long. I'm eager to hear what he says at the end.Both of the Lars Brownworth podcasts are very good. If you like them, get your courage up and take on History of Rome. It's one where you have to start with episode 1 and work your way through, but it's so very worthwhile.
Don't have HBO, but plan to check it out when it comes out on DVD. Will download the podcast after I watch it then..If you're a Game of Thrones fan, be sure to watch the /Filmcast podcast about the show.

Your local NPR affiliate.
on the media.
The NPR Fresh Air podcast is pretty fair and unbiased with politics.
Tried Movies You Should See. I think the hosts are funny, but at the same it seems like they go 45 minutes and not really talk about the movie.
Yeah. The pacing could be quicker too, but I'm generally ok with it.
I agree. I like that it feels more like just a bunch of blokes (and a lass) just sitting around chatting about a film and the fact that they often go off on tangents about other films (with the same actors or director as the one they are reviewing) that often piques my interest. They can also be pretty darn funny. /Filmcast does a significantly better job of staying on point and I trust their reviews they also seem to understand the art of film making much better (it's podcast where you will learn about interesting production techniques if that's your thing) but it feels impersonal relative to MYSS.
I've listened to a lot of film podcasts now, and the /filmcast is my favorite. It's not that I agree with a lot of their criticisms - because I don't. It's that they make interesting points and defend them intelligently.
should be listening to 'Up & In: The Baseball Prospectus Podcast'. Great mix of prospect talk, current state of baseball, industry interviews and off topic bits. It's free and awesome
